False collision warning on other Pilot 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, 2017, 2018, 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 (33 reports), the radar sensor (9 reports) and the windshield (4 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on collision avoidance covers the 2019 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
What owners paid
15 of the 57 reports quote a price. Each dot is one quote. The middle half runs $1,500 to $2,000.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 72,000 and 125,000 miles, from the 8 reports that gave a mileage.
What owners wrote
“For about a year now the front facing camera throw 5 warnings, my cruise dont work, and it cost 2200 to fix. I follow a honda group on fb and apparently this is the main complaint. Something needs to be done bc it is very un sage to have all these safety features and they may r may not work”

“There are several lights that come on and say there is a problem. Upon looking online for information on how to fix it there are numerous people with the same issue and there should be a recall.”

“After only 76K miles the ADAS stopped working. Honda Sense safety features no longer work. Honda dealership diagnosed the problem and said the ADAS camera needed to be replaced. The car is in excellent condition. It was never in an accident, windshield in perfect condition. Up to date with its scheduled maintenance.”

“Radar and multi purpose camera simultaneously failed. Dash lights came on indicating that auto high beams, lane keep assist, forward collision, adaptive cruise control, and braking system where not working properly. I think my safety and the safety of others where compromised with these systems not working.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 57 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.
