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

WHEN OPEN THE REAR HATCH WILL CLOSE UNEXPECTEDLY WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE KEY FOB OR ANY OTHER SWITCH BEING PRESSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST SIX TIMES. HAVE TO EITHER DUCK AWAY FROM THE CLOSING HATCH OR GRAB IT TO STOP IT. EACH TIME THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY POCKET BUT WAS NOT PRESSED. I FEEL THE AUTO LIFT GATE ( FOOT OPERATED.) FEATURE MAY BE AT FAULT. SOME TIMES THIS WILL OCCUR WHEN STANDING UNDER THE HATCH. OTHER TIMES THIS WILL OCCUR WHILE WALKING AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS A DANGEROUS CONDITION.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

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.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AT A VERY FAST RATE CUTTING MY SPEED IN HALF. 2 ERRORS APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. "TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, APPLY PARKING BRAKE WHEN PARKED." AND "BLIND SPOT INFO SYSTEM PROBLEM." LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER JUST IN THE RIGHT TIME, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO GET VERY HARD TO CONTROL WHILE STEERING AS THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO CONTROL ME MEANING J ALMOST COULDN'T STEER IT WHERE IT NEEDED TO GO AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE KEPT SLOWING DOWN. I WAS ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AROUND A SHARP TURN AND I WAS TERRIFIED THAT SOMEONE WOULD SLAM RIGHT INTO ME. IT TOOK A TOW TRUCK 1 HOUR TO ARRIVE. THE DEALER HAS NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE. I'M WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM AS THEY STILL HAVE M VEHICLE. WILDE HONDA WAUKESHA, WI

THE INFOTAINMENT INFORMATION DISPLAY BECOMES BLANK INTERMITTENTLY. DATA CONNECTION LOSS RADIO SIGNAL LOSS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SCREEN IS ACTIVE. SPEED INDICATOR PANEL GOES BLANK INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN IF SAFETY FEATURES ARE COMPROMISED AT THIS TIME. HONDA HAS REPLACED SYSTEMS AND THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED. GIVEN THESE PROBLEMS THE VEHICLE IS NOT BEING DRIVEN. THESE EVENTS ARE WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION ON VERY FAT, TO SLIGHTLY BUMPY SURFACES. HARDER JARRING HAS NOT CREATED SIMILAR EVENTS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY. AND CONTINUES AFTER HONDA RECOMMENDED REPAIR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM. THE FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED AROUND 300 MILES, THE APPLE CARPLAY WOULD NOT CONNECT. HAD TO REPEATEDLY DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT APPLE XS MAX. AT TIMES THE SOUND WOULD JUST STOP WORKING. SWITCHING FROM CARPLAY, XM RADIO, AND FM WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. THE INFOTAINMENT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON JULY 13TH. I TRIED TO "FIX" BY TURNING THE PASSPORT OFF AND ON, GETTING OUT OF THE PASSPORT AND LOCKING THE DOORS, GETTING BACK IN AND STARTING IT. I TRIED THIS ABOUT 10 TIMES AND NOTHING WORKED. I DROVEE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY QUICKLY DISCONNECTED THE BATTER FROM THE PASSPORT AND THIS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE ISSUES HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE PASSPORT WAS IN DRIVE AND WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR NOT HOLDING MEMORY. THE MIRROR SOMETIMES DOES A FACTORY RESET, SO I AM FINDING MYSELF HAVING TO RESET THE MIRROR EVERY TIME I GO TO DRIVE.

ALL FOUR EMERGENCY GRAB HANDLES LOOSE. TOOK CAR TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TIGHTENED AND WAS INSTEAD SHOWN THAT OTHER PASSPORTS ALL SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM. WAS TOLD THAT THE LOOSE GRAB HANDLES ARE A CHARACTERISTIC BY AN AMERICAN HONDA CUSTOMER CARE REPRESENTATIVE AND SO UNABLE TO BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. NUMEROUS OTHER FIT/FINISH ISSUES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH THE DEALERSHIP; LOOSE LEATHER WRAPPING ON STEERING WHEEL, LOOSE A PILLAR TRIM, RATTLING FROM INSIDE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, LOOSE ROOF RAIL TRIM(BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT), FRONT HEADLIGHT BLACK PLASTIC INSERT IS LOOSE ON BOTH SIDES. ALL OF THESE FIT/FINISH ISSUES ARE SHARED AMONGST MANY PASSPORTS AS SHOWN TO ME ON THE DEALERSHIP LOT AND DUE TO THIS HONDA WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUES.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES. ENGINE STALLED DURING MOTION APPROX 70 MPH. FORCED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART ENGINE BUT WAS UNABLE TO PUT INTO DRIVE BUT AFTER A MINUTE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN STARTING. ENGINE STALLED TWO MORE TIMES AFTER AND EACH TIME MORE ERRORS WERE REPORTED ON THE VEHICLE DRIVER DISPLAY. ERRORS INVOLVED EMISSIONS, TRANSMISSION, ENGINE, BLIND SPOT MONITORING, AND BATTERY. ISSUE WAS RECTIFIED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT UNKNOWN WHETHER OR NOT PERMANENT DAMAGE OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP FIX WAS TO "DRAIN ATF FLUID AND BROUGHT TO PROPER LEVEL". THEIR DIAGNOSES WAS THAT "ATF IS OVERFILLED." VEHICLE HAS MULTIPLE FIT/FINISH/BUILD QUALITY ISSUES LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS AT FAULT FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT OTHER ISSUES MAY BE PRESENT BUT UNKNOWN. ONE NOTABLE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BUILD QUALITY IS THAT ALL FOUR EMERGENCY HANDLE BARS ARE LOOSE.
