Reliability verdict for the 2019 Honda Passport
With a 40/100 score against a 75/100 segment average, the 2019 Honda Passport lands well below typical reliability expectations.

Complaints are not confined to a single system. Electrical problems stand out as the largest share, but reports also cluster in fuel and powertrain areas, with a meaningful number tied to forward collision avoidance.
