2019 Honda Passport complaints

THE ENTIRE AUDIO/ELECTRICAL GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. CRACKLING, POPPING SOUNDS, SOUND LIKE SMALL PEBBLES HITTING WINDSHIELD, OR ELECTRICAL SHORTS, AND THEN THE ENTIRE CONSOLE GOES OUT. BACK UP CAMERA, ALL AUDIO, NAVIGATION, SCREEN FADES IN AND OUT FEW TIMES, WITH THE SMALL CRACKLE SOUNDS, THEN USUALLY A LOUD CRACK, AND EVERYTHING GOES DARK. IF YOU PULL OVER, SHUT OFF CAR, AND RESTART, SOMETIMES IT COMES BACK. IF YOU ARE DRIVING, IT MAYBE RESTARTS IN 10-15 MINUTES, BUT WILL CONTINUE WITH SHORTING OUT AGAIN. BRAND NEW VEHICLE, BOUGHT AT THE END OF OCTOBER 2019. HONDA DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE FIX, OR ANY CONNECTIONS TO WHY SOME VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND OTHERS DO NOT. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE HONDA CORPORATION, WITH LITTLE RESPONSE BACK FROM THEM. OUR GARAGE IS DOING THE BEST THEY CAN, FOLLOWING BULLETINS ON UPDATES FOR WHAT OR HOW TO ATTEMPT REPAIR FROM HONDA. OUR NEW CAR HAS BEEN IN GARAGE 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS,NOVEMBER 2019, AND FEBRUARY 2020, FOR DAYS AT A TIME, FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM, AND STILL SOLD VEHICLES.

THE RADIO DISPLAYS AN ERROR MESSAGE OF 'NETWORK COMMUNICATION LOST' BEFORE THE SCREEN BLACKS OUT. THIS HAPPENS OVER AND OVER EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE SCREEN FOR THE ODOMETER BLACKS OUT AND I CANNOT SEE THE TRAVELING SPEED OF MY VEHICLE. I CANNOT USE THE FEDERALLY MANDATED BACKUP CAMERA AS WELL AS THE PARKING SENSORS. I CANNOT SEE THE PARKING SENSORS. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHOWS 'BRAKE' CONTINUALLY WHEN DRIVING AS ANOTHER CAR APPROACHES FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THERE IS NO NEED TO BRAKE AT THESE TIMES. THIS OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. THE LAST ITEM IS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO SHIFT WHILE TRAVELING DOWNHILL ABOUT 50% OF THE TIME WHEN I LEAVE MY HOUSE. THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV HIGHER AND HIGHER OVER 4K REVS. I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE THE 25-MILE SPEED LIMIT WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SETTINGS ARE IN THE STANDARD DRIVE MODE DURING THESE EVENTS. I ALSO INFORMED THEM THAT THE AUTO HIGH BEAM FEATURE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS APPROACHING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION MANY TIMES IT DOES NOT TURN OFF AND I BLIND THE ONCOMING DRIVER. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.

WHILE DRIVING A CRACKLE IS EMITTED FROM THE FRONT SPEAKERS. THE TUNER WILL BLANK OUT AND DISPLAY "CHECK TUNER", THEN THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT POD GOES DARK. NO SPEEDOMETER, NO OTHER INSTRUMENT INFORMATION. APPEARS TO BE DOING A REBOOT , WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO TURNING CORNERS OR HITTING SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ANYTIME, REGARDLESS OF SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELLING. SUDDENLY ENTIRE DASHBOARD IS BLACK. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 6,000 MILES ON IT, BUT PROBLEM BEGAN EARLIER AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE.

THE INFOTAINMENT CENTER WILL DISPLAY A CONNECTION ERROR AND THEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL ALSO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEMS SEEM TO OCCUR WHEN HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD SMALL OR LARGE. ALSO WHEN THIS OCCURS THE SPEAKERS WILL CRACKLE AND POP IF ANY AUDIO WAS PLAYING WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED. THE SPEAKERS OCCASIONALLY WILL CRACKLE AND POP EVEN IF THERE WAS NO AUDIO PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OCCURRING.

THE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM FAILS WHILE USING AIRPLAY, CAUSING NAVIGATION, AUDIO, BLUETOOTH FAILURE AND THE REAR CAMERA GOES OUT AS WELL. WHEN TRYING TO REBOOT BY TURNING OFF THE CAR, THE ENGINE STAYS OFF BUT THE INFO SYSTEM RUNS DARKLY IN THE BACKGROUND. BATTERY DIED OVERNIGHT. BATTERY RECONNECT SEEMED TO WORK BUT BEING THAT THIS HAPPENED TWICE AND I GOT LOST ONCE AS A RESULT, I AVOID PLUGGING IN MY PHONE. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NO ONE IS STEPPING UP. WHAT ABOUT THE LEMON LAW? WHERE'S OUR PROTECTION?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA PASSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST MOTIVE POWER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JIM COLEMAN HONDA LOCATED AT 12441 AUTO DR, CLARKSVILLE, MD 21029, (443) 535-0500 TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DO ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST SHOWED SOFT CODES INSTEAD OF HARD CODES, WHICH MEANT A POSSIBLE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP POSSIBLY HAVING CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE FUEL OR SENSORS. A LOANER VEHICLE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT FURTHER TESTS WERE NEEDED BEFORE A FINAL DECISION WAS MADE ON THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE OR THE POSSIBLE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

INFOTAINMENT DISPLAYED 'NETWORK CONNECTION LOST.' SYSTEM AND DASHBOARD DIGITAL CONSOLE REBOOTED WHILE DRIVING. THIS INCLUDES SPEEDOMETER, NAVIGATION, AND FUEL GAUGE.

STARTING AT ABOUT 500 MILES, A CRACKLING NOISE WOULD PROPAGATE THROUGH THE SPEAKERS AND THE INFOTAINMENT AND REARVIEW CAMERA WOULD SHUT OFF. TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE AND THE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES WHEN IT CAME BACK MUCH MORE SEVERE. STEPPING ON THE GAS, OR BUMPS WOULD PRODUCE ERRATIC ISSUES, NOT ONLY FREEZING THE INFOTAINMENT ALONG WITH INTENSE CRACKLING NOISES, BUT ALSO, BRAKING ON ITS OWN. TOOK THE CAR TO BACK FOR SERVICE AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE BRAKING ON ITS OWN ISSUE. NOT UNSURPRISING BECAUSE THE PATTERN OF PROBLEMS IS RANDOM. SERVICE AT LEAST ADMITTED THE INFOTAINMENT ISSUES AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HONDA IS WORKING ON A REPAIR INVOLVING REPLACEMENT OF THE HARNESS. THEY WANTED TO REPLACE THE INFOTAINMENT UNIT BUT THE PART WOULD NOT BE IN STOCK FOR ALMOST 4 WEEKS. THE PROBLEMS HAVE ONLY WORSENED SINCE AND NOW BLACKING OUT OF THE SPEEDOMETER IS THE LATEST SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED HONDA AND ASKED TO HAVE THE CAR REPLACED, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I AM A LIAR AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED ONCE YET. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE PROVIDED THE MOST DISGUSTING CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED DENYING THE ISSUES AND TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE AND BASICALLY IMPLYING THAT THE INFOTAINMENT PROBLEM ALMOST DOES NOT EXIST. HE LIED TELLING ME THAT HONDA IS NOT WORKING ON ANY PERMANENT FIX, AS ACCORDING TO HIM THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. DEALER AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES ALL KNOW THE PROBLEM, BUT HONDA BELIE

SINCE I HAVE LEASED THE VEHICLE, THE COLLISION MITIGATION BREAKING SYSTEM IS COMING ON WHEN NOT NEEDED, AT TIMES DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS.. I HAVE BEEN NEARLY REAR-ENDED THREE TIMES, THE LATEST CAUSING THE MAN BEHIND ME TO ALMOST GO OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH (THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO JUST BARELY AVOID THIS) AND IT IS HAPPENING WHEN MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING THE CAR AS WELL. IT IS VERY STARTLING AND WORRISOME. THE CAR ACTUALLY NOSEDIVES AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP AT TIMES'OTHER TIMES IT BREAKS SUDDENLY AND THEN RELEASES OR I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON THE GAS WHILE TRYING TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES ALREADY AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIX IT AS IT CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHEN THEY HAVE HAD IT (WEEKS CAN GO BY IN BETWEEN WHEN IT HAPPENS) AND I HAVE EXPRESSED I DO NOT WANT THEM CONSTANTLY DRIVING MY VEHICLE TRYING TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE WHEN I WAS TOLD EXPLICITLY THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AND THEY'RE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, MY INSURANCE IS RESPONSIBLE. I HAVE ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA MOTOR AMERICA WHERE A CASE HAS BEEN OPENED AND CLOSED VERY QUICKLY. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT IT IS PRETTY MUCH NOT THEIR PROBLEM, I AM ON MY OWN UNLESS I AM ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN IN FRONT OF AN ADVISOR, OR HAVE AN ADVISOR DRIVE MY CAR FREQUENTLY (LIKE USING IT TO GO TO AND FROM WORK, ETC. BEING THEY DO NOT DRIVE IT FAR WHEN TRYING TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE) AND THEY DO NOT HOLD ANY LIABILITY IF THIS ISSUE IS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHERE MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE WORK

AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I-65 IN KENTUCKY (DRIVING BACK HOME TO MICHIGAN), THE VEHICLE LOST FUNCTIONS / COMMUNICATIONS OF THE INFOTAIMENT SYSTEM, WE WERE RELYING ON THE GPS SYSTEM VIA "APPLE PLAY" TO DETERMINE WHAT EXIT TO TAKE. FROM PRIOR EXPERINCE WITH THIS "ISSUE", I KNEW WE NEEDED TO PULL THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, THEN TURN BACK ON, AND THATS WHAT WE DID. IT WORKED, BUT WAS NOT SAFE ON THAT BUSY HIGHWAY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA PASSPORT. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. ROYAL HONDA (2633 N. HULLEN ST, METAIRIE, LA) WAS CONTACTED IN REFERENCE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,700.

NOTE. ALL HAS TAKEN PLACE WHILE IN MOTION EXCEPT FOR THE RESTART. STARTED WITH INTERMITTENT SPEAKER CRACKLES. YESTERDAY CRACKLES WITH RADIO ON REOCCURRING CRACKLES FOLLED BY INFOTAINMENT SCREAN NOTING RADIO SIGNAL LOSS FOLLED BY DATA COMMUNICATIONS LOSS. (PARAPHRASING) FOLLWED BY BLANK SCREEN. FOLLOWED BY BLANK INSTRUMENT SCREEN. FOR SOME SECONDS. THEN ALL SCREANS BECAME FUNCTIONAL. TODAY AS RADIO PLAYED THERE WAS A LOSS OF SOUND WITH VISUAL INDICATION RADIO OPERATION WAS CONTINUING AS A BUMP IN THE ROAD WAS NOTED. RADIO REMAINED SILENT TILL LATER AS ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. RADIO THEN SOUNDED THROUGH SPEAKERS.

AFTER CAR SITS OVERNIGHT, 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 AT SECOND DEALER TO INVESTIGATE AS SERVICE WRITER EXPERIENCED WHAT I DESCRIBED AND SAID THAT BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXCESSIVELY HARD. VEHICLE IS ON FLAT GROUND AND BREAK PEDAL IS NOT BEING PUMPED. HAPPENS UPON JUST GETTING INTO CAR, PLACING FOOT ON BREAK TO START CAR AND WON'T START.

LOOSE PLASTIC TRIM ABOVE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT. IT MOVES ABOUT 1/4 INCH. THIS WILL FLEX IN THE TURBULENCE AND BREAK IN TIME. IT COULD THEN FALL OFF THE VEHICLE AND STRIKE A PEDESTRIAN OR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE PASSPORT WAS SOLD NEW IN THIS CONDITION.

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.

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.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK, IT WAS STATIONARY. FIRST TIME 3/27/19 PICKING UP NEW AT DEALERSHIP. SECOND TIME 4/10/19, PARKED IN MY GARAGE. BOTH TIMES NUMEROUS WARNING CODES DISPLAYED. IN MY GARAGE 10 WARNING CODES DISPLAYED, RAN MOTOR FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND TURNED OFF. RESTARTED LATER AND 7 WARNING CODES DISPLAYED AND VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO DRIVE. DROVE TO DEALERSHIP, MADE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE 4/11/19. DEALERSHIP FOUND MULTIPLE BATTERY LOW CODES STORED FROM WHEN BATTERY DIED ON LOT. TECHNICIAN NOTICED A HAM RADIO ANTENNA MOUNT ON THE CROSS BAR AND REPORTED THE UNKNOWN ACCESSORY ATTACHED TO THE CROSS BAR COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH VEHICLE CODES BEING SET. AS OF THIS DATE ALL THE PARTS TO INSTALL A TRANSCEIVER HAVE NOT ARRIVED. THE UNKNOWN ACCESSORY IS JUST A MOUNT AND AT THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTION IT HAS A GROUND WIRE, 14 GAUGE THHN, CONNECTED TO A BRACKET. WHEN THE ANTENNA IS INSTALLED IT MUST BE GROUNDED TO FRAME. I'M INCLUDING JPEGS OF ANTENNA MOUNT. ALSO I HAVE SUPPORTING EMAILS DETAILING WHEN THE PARTS WILL ARRIVE TO MY PO BOX AND OR STREET ADDRESS. A TRANSCEIVER HAS NOT BEEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE! THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE BATTERY/VEHICLE!

VEHICLE RETURNED TODAY FOR THE THIRD TIME. SAME ISSUES: WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK, 10 WARNINGS. LET VEHICLE RUN ABOUT 15 MINUTES, TURN OFF, GO INSIDE FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, RESTART VEHICLE, 7 WARNINGS AND NOW CAN GET INTO DRIVE. ONE ADDED ISSUE: AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR THERE IS SEVERAL BEEPS INDICATION THE KEY IS STILL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE KEYFOB IS NOT IN THE VEHICLE OR ANYWHERE NEAR!! VEHICLE STATIONARY IN GARAGE AT HOME.
