Forward Collision Avoidance owner reports: Honda Odyssey years in the records

The records describe a problem worth checking before purchase.

“I believe the forward facing camera is having electrical issues which is causing the vehicle not to engage lane departure, traction control, Lane keeping assistance, emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, AC intermittently blowing warm and cold. There are four or five lights on the dash about this.”

The records describe a problem worth checking before purchase.

“All advanced driver safety features failed. It appears there is an issue with the front camera.”

“Font camera that control lane assist, cruise control, breaking, etc, stopped working less than 5 years old”

“I am the original owner of a 2020 Honda Odyssey Elite. On July 7, 2026, at approximately 76,127 miles, five safety-system warning messages suddenly appeared simultaneously upon startup: Adaptive Cruise Control Problem, Auto High Beam Problem, Road Departure Mitigation System Problem, Collision Mitigation System Problem, and Lane Keeping Assist System Problem. Restarting the vehicle several times did not clear the warnings. After the vehicle sat for approximately 30 minutes, the warnings disappeared. On July 8, after driving approximately 400 miles home, I parked the vehicle outside in approximately 110-degree heat. About two hours later, upon startup, the same five warnings reappeared simultaneously, along with the Brake System warning light. An authorized Honda dealer confirmed the multiple warnings and performed a DTC scan. Code U3000-49 was stored, indicating an internal failure of the multipurpose camera located behind the rearview mirror. Further testing confirmed that camera replacement was required. The dealer replaced and recalibrated the multipurpose camera at 76,567 miles. The repair cost was $1,631.80 for parts and $717.50 for labor, totaling $2,349.30. I am concerned that failure of a single internal camera component simultaneously disabled multiple driver-assistance and collision-avoidance safety systems. I believe NHTSA should investigate whether multipurpose camera failures associated with DTC U3000-49 represent a recurring safety defect in 2020 Honda Odyssey vehicles.”

“The front-facing Honda Sensing camera in my 2020 Honda Odyssey overheated in a 90deg climate. This triggered multiple dashboard warning lights: Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Problem, Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) Problem, Road Departure Mitigation (RDM) System Problem, Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) Problem, BRAKE System Problem, and Auto High-Beam Problem. The Honda dealership quoted me $1850 to fix it and they said it was a well-known error. There were NO issues with my car prior to this problem. I keep up with all routine maintenance, oil changes, timing belt and water pump replacements, etc. Not only are these safety features inoperable, but these warning lights are very distracting to the driver, but worse than that- I would be unaware of other system failures since I have so many warnings displayed.”

The records describe a problem worth checking before purchase.

“Front camera default and required replacement totaling $2,400.00 in repair costs. This is a safety issue as the Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Collision Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Lane Departure Warning were all disabled due to the front camera malfunction. This should be a recall by Honda as it seems to be a common mechanical failure in Honda Odysseys from 2018-2022.”
