Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report
- Forward collision mitigation or automatic braking engages suddenly with no vehicle or obstacle nearby, often while going around a turn.
- Adaptive cruise control fails to brake in time when the car ahead stops, leading to rear-end collisions.
- Dashboard flashes a brake warning and the steering wheel shakes even though nothing is happening on the road.
- Forward-facing camera behind the windshield stops working or malfunctions, sometimes described by owners as a known recurring flaw.
- Automatic braking activates hard at highway speed, causing the vehicle to slow abruptly and creating a rear-end risk from following traffic.
- Parking brake or collision warning fails to activate before a low-speed collision, such as in a parking lot or drop-off line.

Back over prevention:display function
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport vehicles. Due to a faulty Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable connector, the rearview camera image may not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk: A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the MOST cable harness and install a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are EEL, ZEM, and SFC.
