Typical lane departure system symptoms owners report

  • Multiple Honda Sensing warning lights, including Lane Keeping Assist, Collision Mitigation, and Road Departure Mitigation, illuminate together on the dashboard.
  • Owners report the front windshield-mounted camera failing internally, disabling Lane Keeping Assist and related driver-assist systems.
  • Some drivers say the lane keeping system shakes the steering wheel and issues a lane-departure warning even during a deliberate, signaled lane change to avoid a pedestrian.
  • Owners describe the systems shutting off suddenly during normal driving, with dealers pointing to a faulty camera behind the windshield as the cause.
  • A few complaints link the lane departure warning lights to unrelated drivetrain symptoms, such as engine lag or lunging, appearing at the same time.
