2019 HONDA PASSPORT Complaints

6000 ON ODOMETER.COLLISION MITIGATION SYSTEM IS TOO SENSITIVE. THE "BRAKE" NOTICE WILL FLASH ON THE DASH SCREEN AT TIMES WHERE IS NO DANGER OF A COLLISION. AT TIMES THE SYSTEM WILL APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN THERE IS NO DANGER OF A COLLISION. THIS MAY RESULT IN VEHICLE BEING STRUCK FROM THE REAR BY A FOLLOWING VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS A COMMON PROBLEM ON 2019 HONDA PASSPORTS

DRIVING MY CAR ON BELT PARKWAY, I CONNECTED MY PHONE TO USE ANDROID AUTO, THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, HEAD UNIT SAID "AUDIO IS OFF" AND ALSO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS NOT ANSWERING TO MY COMMANDS. IN THE SAME DRIVE I ALMOST CRUSH WITH A VEHICLE COMING FROM MY RIGHT SIDE BECAUSE THE ALERT SYSTEM DIDN'T LIGHT ON TO WARN ME. AFTER FEW MORE MILES I COULD PULL OVER, TURN OFF THE CAR, OPENED THE DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR, TURN ON THE ENGINE , CONNECT MY PHONE AND SAME PROBLEM CAME OUT. I HAVE ONLY 465 MILES WITH MY CAR AND I ALREADY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES REGARDING THIS PROBLEMS. I ALSO ASK THE DEALERSHIP TO GIVE ME MY OLD CAR BACK BUT THEY REFUSED. WHAT SHOULD I DO. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS CAR AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE AND SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE.

TRANSMISSION KICKS INTO NEUTRAL FOR NO REASON WITH "STOP DRIVING WHEN SAFE. TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. SEE MANUAL" ERROR MESSAGE. ROUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING.

AMERICAN HONDA HAS ISSUED A RECALL OF 2019 PASSPORTS DUE TO A LIFE THREATENING, UNREPAIRABLE WELDING ISSUE IN THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE PRESCRIBED REMEDY IS A NEW VEHICLE AS THE ISSUE CANNOT BE REPAIRED PER HONDA. NOTICE AS GIVEN ON 11/08/2019 BUT AS OF 11/28/2019, DEALERS HAVE REFUSED TO CONDUCT AN INSPECTION OR TO AFFIRM THAT MY VEHICLE DOES OR DOES NOT HAVE THE WELDING ERROR. MEANWHILE, ABSENT A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE OR AN INSPECTION, I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY AND PASSENGERS. IT IS CRUEL PUNISHMENT DURING THE HOLIDAYS TO HAVE A BRAND NEW, EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT MAY BE UNSAFE.

I WAS DRIVING OVER A BRIDGE AND MY SUN ROOF SHATTERED CAUSING GLASS TO GO EVERYWHERE. NOTHING HIT MY CAR AND IT WAS LESS THAN 2 MONTHS OLD

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM AND INSTRUMENT PANEL BOTH WENT BLACK TODAY AND STOPPED WORKING FOR NO REASON. CAR HAS ONLY 3000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO WORK THIS MORNING WITH EVERYTHING WORKING. WHEN I STARTED IT TO GO HOME AT END OF DAY NEITHER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM WOULD WORK; BOTH WERE JUST BLACK SCREENS. HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST HONDA FOR INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND WANT TO REPORT MY ISSUE. EXTREMELY CONCERNING SITUATION AS CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT INSTRUMENT PANEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA PASSPORT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE BLUETOOTH SEIZED AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. ALSO, THE CLOCK AND RADIO DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY SET TO THE CONTACT'S CURRENT LOCATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE SYSTEM RESTARTED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DCH KAY HONDA (732-982-2732, LOCATED AT 200 NJ-36, EATONTOWN, NJ 07724), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURES RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A COMPUTER UPDATE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09932490 AND WAS REFERRED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION AND RUNNING OVER SLIGHTLY BUMPY SURFACE I WILL HEAR STATIC IN THE SPEAKERS AFTER HITTING A FEW MORE BUMPS THE AUDIO WILL SHUT OFF. THEN THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WITH EITHER SAY 'FM RADIO UNAVAILABLE' OR 'NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS LOST' FOLLOWING THIS THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WILL EITHER REBOOT OR STAY OFF UNTIL THE CAR IS RESTARTED. IN SOME CASES WHEN THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WENT OFF THE DRIVER SCREEN THAT DISPLAYS SPEED, RPM AND OTHER SAFETY WARNING MESSAGE SHUTS OFF AND REBOOTS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION WHICH IS VERY DISTRACTING AND UNSAFE. I HAVE HAD MY 2019 PASSPORT AT THE DEALER FOUR TIMES WHERE THEY HAVE CHECKED CONNECTIONS, REPLACED WIRING HARNESS AND EVEN REPLACED THE DRIVER SCREEN MODULE. WEEKS AFTER THIS LAST FIX THE SAME ISSUES HAPPENED AGAIN AND NOW BOTH SCREENS ARE BLANK AND WILL NOT COME BACK ON AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. IT IS HEADING TO THE DEALER FOR YET ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC. NOTE DURING MOST OF THESE ISSUES I WAS USING CAR PLAY BUT HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED IT JUST USING FM RADIO. THE PROBLEMS USUALLY DON'T SURFACE TILL AFTER DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD.

TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, STRUCK A SMALL (ABOUT 8 INCH WIDE) PIECE OF ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS WHICH CAUSED MY TIRE TO BLOW OUT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS MY DRIVERSIDE CURTAIN AND SEAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHICH RESULTED IN MY VEHICLE DETECTING COLLISION AND DEPLOYING EMERGENCY SERVICES. NO DAMAGE WAS VISIBLE ON THE VEHICLE WITH THE EXCEPTION IF THE DRIVER SIDE TIRES.

AFTER CAR SITS OVERNIGHT, OR EVEN AS LITTLE AS A FEW HOURS, BREAK PEDAL IS ROCK HARD AND CAN'T BE DEPRESSED THUS NOT ALLOWING THE CAR TO START USING PUSH START. ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS FINE BUT MSG ON DASH SAYS "TO START ENGINE PRESS BRAKE" THE PEDAL WON'T BUDGE AND THE CAR WON'T START. HAVE TO USE TWO FEET AT TIMES TO DEPRESS BREAK PEDAL TO ALLOW PUSH START BUTTON TO ENGAGE. EVERY MORNING FOR LAST SIX DAYS THIS HAPPENS. HAVE ENCOUNTERED PROBLEM EVEN AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP. FIRST DEALER SAID NORMAL BUT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO USE TWO FEET TO PRESS THE BREAK PEDAL TO START THE CAR. CURRENTLY GOING TO A SECOND DEALER TO INVESTIGATE ISSUE AT FIRST OIL CHANGE. HONDA, PLEASE ISSUE A FIX. ONCE CAR IS STARTED, BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL FEEL.
