False collision warning on other Odyssey years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2014, 2015, 2016, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This group is about the forward collision warning itself. Owners describe alarms with nothing ahead, a forward camera that fails or reports itself blocked, and other safety features shutting off at the same moment. A lot of them happen at highway speed, and a lot end with a dealer who couldn't reproduce it.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the forward camera (91 reports), the radar sensor (21 reports), the windshield (21 reports) and the software (11 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on collision avoidance covers the 2019 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
What owners paid
41 of the 129 reports quote a price. Each dot is one quote. The middle half runs $1,528 to $2,350.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 39,900 and 80,000 miles, from the 16 reports that gave a mileage.
What owners wrote
“The front camera all of a sudden is malfunctioning - the following has been affected because of it: auto high beam, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, collision mitigation system, road departure mitigation”

“I believe it is the WINDSHIELD MONOCULAR MULTIPURPOSE LKAS ACC CAMERA. This sensor has malfunctioned for the past two moths and I've tried everything to fix it short of replacing it, which is ridiculously expensive. This is such a common problem on this make/year of vehicle. My car only has 75,000 miles on it.”

“The camera in the front windshield went out. It has caused NONE of my safety features to work. Honda is charging $2,500 for the part and labor. It's ridiculous how many people are having the SAME issue. My van didn't even have 52,000 miles. Honda needs to fix this issue”

“The Brake System warning light is on. With this, it is showing 5 different issue messages when the car is running. I've taken to the dealer and they are saying there is an issue with the multipurpose front camera. My car is on 39,900 miles.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 129 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
