Example complaints

“When I activate the auto high beam feature on my Ridgeline, it does not ever work properly. The high beams will go off almost immediately once a road sign reflects on the sensor. This feature is totally unreliable and is actually a safety hazard because of how often it deactivates when on the roadway even though there is no traffic coming in either direction. It rarely reactivates when traveling on the highway.”

NHTSA complaint #11494511, filed 2022-11

“The automatic high/low beams do not work properly. The do not go to high beam when they are suppose to and they do not dim when they are suppose to. Any reflective device along the road will cause them to either dim or brighten. When an approaching vehicle is coming toward me the lights will not dim like they should and sometimes I will have to do it manually. This is a safety problem not only for myself but also for oncoming vehicles. …”

NHTSA complaint #11514598, filed 2023-03

“Honda eliminated the dedicated automatic high beam camera and moved the functionality into the shared multi-purpose camera that is also used for Honda Sensing features and raised the activation speed. These changes not only ruined the automatic high beam function, but made it dangerous at times. The automatic high beams rarely work in my neighborhood which has zero street lamps and I was told by the dealer that it is supposed to operate that way.”

NHTSA complaint #11476244, filed 2022-07

“The auto high beam function does not work properly, and in fact can be dangerous. With system on it continuously and constantly goes back and forth between low and high beam with no traffic in sight. However, more dangerous it has on two occasions turned high beams on when traffic is almost upon me causing potential safety issue and road rage. I have turned the system off, and I am using manually right now. However, paid for this system, and see many others complaining about the same issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11506686, filed 2023-02

“Auto high beams do not work properly, had a road rage incident with another driver as my high beams did not turn off, tye other driver was annoyed I was driving with high beams on.”
