What owners wrote
“At roughly 90,000 miles the forward multipurpose camera has an internal failure and a lot of my safety features no longer work, such as Road departure mitigation, Auto high beams, Lane keeping assist, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control. This is a very common problem amongst these vehicles and honda should be responsible in fixing them.”

The car is in excellent condition. It was never in an accident, windshield in perfect condition. Up to date with its scheduled maintenance.”

“Vehicle would brake suddenly. Then shortly thereafter, the collision mitigation system error appeared on the dash. Honda dealership says the camera no longer works and the entire system needs to be replaced. The fact that the camera stopped working spontaneously is concerning.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 56 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.
