Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, Sep 17, 2026
My 2022 Honda Pilot began experiencing this problem in approximately November 2025. Since then, the vehicle has repeatedly displayed multiple safety-system warnings simultaneously, including Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Lane Keeping Assist Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, and Auto High-Beam Problem. The ACC and LKAS warning indicators also illuminate. The problem is persistent but intermittent. Approximately 95% of the time the warnings and system problems are present. On rare occasions, approximately 5% of the time, the warnings temporarily clear and the systems appear to operate normally, but the problem returns. I took the vehicle to an authorized Honda dealership for diagnosis. The dealer documented DTC U3000-49 and diagnosed an “internal failure of the multipurpose camera.” The dealer recommended replacement of the camera followed by camera aiming/calibration. The quoted repair cost was $2,105 plus tax. The repair has not yet been completed because I have not been able to afford the cost of the repair. As a result, I have continued driving the vehicle with these safety systems unavailable most of the time. The failure of the multipurpose camera affects multiple Honda Sensing driver-assistance and collision-avoidance systems at the same time. I consider this a significant safety concern because it affects systems intended to assist with collision mitigation/braking, maintaining lane position, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and other driver-assistance functions. The simultaneous loss of these systems may increase the risk of a crash, particularly because the malfunction is intermittent and the systems can temporarily return to normal operation before failing again. The malfunction has been confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership and is documented on the dealer repair order. The vehicle and component are available for inspection upon request.

Lane departure, Forward collision avoidance, Aug 18, 2026
My 2022 Honda Pilot developed an intermittent failure of the multipurpose forward camera used by the Honda Sensing system. Multiple dashboard warnings appeared simultaneously, including Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS), Collision Mitigation Braking System, Road Departure Mitigation, Auto High Beam, Blind Spot Information, and a Brake System warning. The vehicle’s normal brakes continued to function, but the affected driver-assistance and collision-avoidance features became unavailable. A Honda dealership diagnosed DTC U3000-49, documented as an internal failure of the multipurpose camera, and recommended replacement and aiming/calibration of the camera. The quoted repair cost was $2,356.95 plus tax. The failure is intermittent. On one occasion, all warning lights disappeared after starting the vehicle and the Honda Sensing safety features operated normally. After the vehicle was shut off and restarted, the warnings returned and the safety features were again unavailable. Honda declined my request for goodwill assistance and advised that this is not considered a known camera problem. I am reporting this because failure of a single camera disables multiple collision-avoidance and driver-assistance safety systems. I am concerned that other 2022 Honda Pilot owners may experience the same U3000-49 multipurpose-camera failure.

Other or unspecified, Fuel/propulsion system, Lane departure, Jun 25, 2026
I was driving home at 4am on I-95 with my children in the car. My car has had a history of "juttering" and making a vibrational noise, but on the way home there was an issue with acceleration when using the gas pedal, and slow to gain speed. There were times when the gas pedal didn't respond to my foot depression at all, and did not accelerate. When I was almost home, many lights came on my dash including: Blind Spot warning, emissions systems problem, transmission problem apply parking brake when parked, stop driving when safe transmission problem see manual. The car is not driveable at this time and sitting in my driveway. I have no idea where to tow it to or what to do or how much it will cost

Windshield cracked majorly after being hit by a small rock on the highway. Even after having it replaced and the camera recalibrated, 7 safety warnings of the ADAS come on. Reportedly, the frontcamera has failed, which is concerning in a car that has less than 50k and is just about 4yrs old. I believe this is a larger issue, the windshield truly should not have broken that easily and the camera failing so soon is problematic. It is also a very expensive fix.
Forward collision avoidance, Lane departure, May 10, 2026
I turned my car on one day and warning lights for all of my safety sensing features came up. Intermittently they work for a little bit. I brought it to the dealer, and they said that there was damage to the sensor, but there has been no damage to the front end of the car. Their reply was perhaps a pebble came up from the road while I was driving. It seems to me that that is a fault in the manufacturing if it is that easy for all of the sensing features to stop working. I attempted to sort this out with the dealer and with Honda corporate offices with no luck.

Without any warning or incident, The multipurpose camera has failed and several systems are no longer available. DTC U3000-49 This includes, cruise control not working as well as auto high beams and autobraking

The front windshield camera is causing the brake system error light to come on and triggering the safety system to malfunction. This failed camera system disables safety features and causes lane assist, cruise control , lighting features, back-up camera, driving assist, and the collision system to be disabled, causing a major safety concern. This front camera system has failed and has been diagnosed by the Certified Honda dealer that my vehicle was purchased from. My vehicle is 4 years old and has 35k miles, and the system has failed. Each component was inspected and issues diagnosed by the dealer. The warning light first displayed on the dashboard and showed as a "brake system" error light. Under the break system error 6 errors displayed they read : 1) adaptive cruise control problem 2) Lane keeping assist problem 3) collision mitigation system problem 4) Road departure mitigation system problem 5) auto-high beam problem 6) transmission system problem

Lots of warning lights going off in car. Took it to the dealership and was told it’s the front camera and would cost over $2k to fix. Car is new, less than 5 years old. Should not be having this issue on a new car. After researching found there are lots of people with the same issue. Seems to me it’s a manufacturing issue and Honda should be responsible to fix.

The ADAS camera has failed. It is extremely common. When it fails, all the lights for EVERY system of ADAS comes on. None of them work. And it is not possible to turn off. Furthermore it sets codes for the brakes and turns on the brake warning lights. So none of the brake assist systems work either. Honda refuses to warranty any of these systems when the camera fails. It is across their entire line of vehicles with ADAS. If they can’t build a functional system, it should not have the system. Also, the system functions extremely poorly, when it was operating. It will drive the vehicle, unassisted, down to 20 mph, then just shuts off and lets the vehicle coast, unguided. Also, if the cruise is set and lane keeping on, and it can’t find lane lines, particularly where lanes merge, it will often veer left, into oncoming traffic. I have tested both of these, when the system was functioning “correctly”. The cruise and lane keeping just shuts off, at any speed, and lets the car go where ever it would without input. It is extremely dangerous.

All the sudden the lights in dash went off reading lane keep assist failure, adaptive cruise control failure, and automatic brake system failure. Nothing was working, lights stayed on, took to auto body shop, they said I need a whole new front windshield camera and for it be recalibrated, that will cost more than $2000. Honda is saying this isn’t under warranty or recall but it seems like it keeps happening to many Hondas when you look up the same problem so it should be a recall.

The camera on the windshield fails when then the windshield gets too hot when you are driving and causes the safety systems to stop functioning ( lane assist, blind spot, etc). See attached pictures. This is a major design flaw and Honda should recall and replace the cameras on all 2022 Honda pilots. I live in the desert in El Paso, Texas and this happens when you are driving . See my attached pictures that occurred at 83 degrees and 93 degrees, respectively. Please help me before there is a fatal injury.
