There are 20 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2022 Honda Pilotin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
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
My vehicle multipurpose camera unit failed. The entire advanced driver assistance system shut down and stopped working. This error randomly appeared. My vehicle has 48,000 miles on it. I received error codes for each of the components that they were not working. This meant no adaptive cruise control, no automatic emergency braking, no blind spot warning, no forward collision warning, no lane departure warning, no lane keeping assistance, no parking collision warning, no rear cross traffic warning. My safety was put at risk as the components that provide safety warnings were not operative. I took the car to my Honda service shop and they provided the following diagnostic: [Other]: Verify customer concern that theirs multiple lights on on the vehicle, then check for codes notice theirs code for U3000-49 multipurpose camera unit/ millimeter wave radar internal electric failure. Then disconnect one of the connectors for sensor to single one out to see if when clear the code to see if stays on or not, after clearing the code lights still came on and code pop on. Recommend start first replacing with a new multi purpose camera, and retest. I paid for the repair as it needs fixed for safety purposes. The cost was $1,950.00. Honda should be responsible for covering this as it is some type of camera malfunction and the vehicle is only 3 years old.
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.

It is constantly breaking when cars are coming the other way. It almost caused a vehicle to almost hit me. Also the auto shut off has almost caused accidents because it causes my car to stall and I wish I could keep it off and not have to push the button off every time.
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.
All of the following lights came while driving on and have stay on. LANE KEEP ASSIST ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL COLLISION MITIGATION. After some research, this looks to be a know problem for Honda.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact stated while reversing and attempting to park the vehicle, the contact became aware that the center display failed to display a rearview image, compromising the back-over prevention system. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the media-oriented system transport cable. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V431000 (Back Over Prevention); and the VIN was included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was unknown.
The vehicle mistakingly thinks it recognizes an obstacle, and wrongly activates the brakes and forward collision warning. This recently occurred during highway driving with no apparent obstacles multiple times. Also (maybe related) when using adaptive cruise control, rather than adapt to a slower vehicle’s speed in-front of it, the Honda Pilot applies strong pressure on the brakes to adjust its pace. In other cars I’ve driven (Tesla, Subaru, Volvo, Chrysler, Kia) the response is a much more delicate “throttle release”. However, the Pilot mostly applies throttle or aggressively applies the brakes in situations that are very predictable and do not require the brakes to be applied. The result is an aggressive/frantic behavior, not adaptive. I keep the car/safety sensors clean and free of obstacles, decals, etc.
While driving on a road with a slight curve, the vehicle will detect an oncoming vehicle in the opposing lane and activate the automatic emergency braking system.
Car brake warning pops up on dashboard when there is no object directly in front of the car. This occurs when there is oncoming traffic in another lane and it has happened when I am going over train tracks. It's as if the concrete curb is in front of me. My car has never stopped abruptly. This has happened over the last few years. I was unaware to report it. I did bring it up to the dealer but they didn't seem to understand.
The contact owns a 2022 Honda Pilot. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V431000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the dealer was unable to set a recall appointment until the end of the month. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact was recently in reverse (R) backing up an alley at 3 MPH when the rear view camera failed. The contact crashed into a concrete bollard and dented the rear left fender behind the rear left wheel well. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
Vehicle repeatedly has applied emergency braking in situations where it should not have been applied. Generally, the problem is most likely to occur on two-lane roads with oncoming traffic and a bend to the right as viewed as I am driving. This has also occurred, to a lesser extent, on the highway when a car immediately in front slows and changes lanes to the right (as would be done to exit the highway). In this case, it seems like the system is too slow to recognize that the vehicle has changed lanes.
On hilly/curving section of interstate highway in West Virginia (specifically I-68 east of Morgantown), the adaptive cruise control, on multiple occasions, failed to recognize vehicles ahead and slow my vehicle to match with adaptive cruise control active. Cruise control also had difficulty controlling speed on downhill sections, at times allowing the vehicle to exceed the set speed by as many as 8 miles per hour.
For the past year and a half, I have had issues with the forward collision warning and emergency braking systems. I get false warnings to "Brake" when there are no other cars around. I have also had the car brake for no reason - one time, we were on the interstate, the emergency braking system engaged and it pulled us to the side of the road. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership numerous times and they cannot get it to reproduce. It happens sporadically and there isn't anything I can do to reproduce the issue either. I fear this will happen when a car is too close, or, living in Wisconsin, that the brakes will engage when driving on snow and/or ice. It has happened at 10 mph up to 75 mph.
The car has used Automatic braking 3 times for no reason. No one is front of us. It also used automatic braking and then made the car die? Or lose all power and there was no object in front of us, in the middle of the road. We were almost rear ended and the vehicle would not let us move. It was horrible.
Wednesday 9/28, some cloud cover but nothing on the deck, mild temps, straight highway– traveling on I-90 eastbound at 10AM, and past North Bend and the 436th Ave SE exit, our 2022 Pilot braked suddenly from 70 to about 40 mph accompanied by the red flashing BRAKING light. At that point the West bound traffic is some 100 feet away from the eastbound. We were in the left line with a speed of 70 mph with ACC activated. Just prior, I noticed an ambulance, Westbound, with lights on – in the westbound left lane, as our CMBS went bonkers eastbound. Luckily, there were no other cars near us.
I have only owned this car, purchased new from the dealer, for a few weeks. Three times already the Collision Mitigation Braking System has almost gotten me rear-ended (and almost got me punched by one of them who thought I slammed on my brakes on purpose.) -Once was on the expressway when I was changing lanes. I guess the car thought I was too close to the car in the lane I had already left, but it slammed on its brakes anyway causing a car behind me to have to avoid a collision with me. - The second was at a stop light waiting for a left turn arrow. There were several of us in line (obviously in close proximity to each other) and, when the green arrow came on to allow the turn, I started moving and the car slammed on its own brakes. The car behind me had to panic brake to avoid rear-ending me. He then started getting out of his car; furious that I'd just done that. - The third time was again from a stop at a red light, but going straight this time. The light turned green, I started moving, and after a couple seconds the car slammed on its brakes again almost getting me hit. There needs to be a way to permanently disable this feature rather than defaulting to "On" at every start. I will work on remembering to manually turn it off every start-up, and hopefully I can remember 100% of the time before someone gets injured.
While driving on the freeway my vehicle suddenly brakes without me pressing the brake. There were no vehicles in front of me to trigger the Automatic Brakes sensors.The brake warning light turned on and began flashing. I was almost hit from the back by the car behind me. My car is available for inspection upon your request. I have take my vehicle to dealer service center for other electrical issues.
When driving on highways and interstate the vehicle flashes BRAKE when the is no reason to brake. This happens multiple times per day, in our commute. The 2nd thing (and most dangerous) is the auto braking. Several times on the interstate the car has done a HARD brake while going interstate speeds, only there wasn’t a reason for it. No other vehicles were in front of us at the time. It has also happened several times on the state road that we drive daily. We have taken it to the dealership and were told it is functioning normal. It’s not. I have contacted Honda and I have a case number with them, but they have failed to contact me when they said they would (2 weeks late) We see this as an absolute danger to our family. We need an advocate. The issue is ongoing.
