Owner complaints8
POWER TRAIN
Owners report several power train issues with the 2022 Honda Passport. Complaints frequently mention transmission hesitation, particularly during acceleration and in cold temperatures, with some owners noting a jerking motion when reversing. Multiple owners describe instances where the vehicle unexpectedly loses power or stalls, often without warning, leading to potentially dangerous situations in traffic. One owner reports a complete transmission failure shortly after the warranty period ended, while others mention issues with the idle stop system causing the vehicle to stall. These issues are noted at varying mileage, with one case as early as 8 miles, and have safety implications such as loss of power on highways and stalling in traffic.
Owner complaints6
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport frequently report issues with the electrical system, particularly involving the starter and audio system. Several complaints describe a "frozen starter" that prevents the vehicle from starting in cold weather, with one owner noting that this issue is recognized by a technical service bulletin. Audio system problems are also common, with reports of crackling noises and intermittent sound failures in the vehicle's speakers, often requiring the system to be reset. These issues have been reported at varying mileages, with one owner mentioning the problem occurred shortly after purchasing the vehicle. Safety implications are noted in the context of the starter issue, as it leaves drivers stranded in freezing conditions.
Owner complaints5
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Owners report recurring issues with the forward collision avoidance system in the 2022 Honda Passport, particularly involving unexpected braking and warning alerts. Complaints frequently mention the automatic emergency braking system engaging without cause, especially on curves or when cars are in adjacent lanes, leading to sudden speed reductions and potential rear-end collision risks. Typical symptoms include the car slowing or stopping unexpectedly, dashboard warning lights, and audible alarms. Some owners note these issues occurring at various speeds, from 30 to 75 mph, and despite sensor replacements, problems persist. These incidents highlight safety concerns, with several reports of near-misses due to unexpected braking, making it a point of consideration for potential buyers.
Owner complaints5
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport frequently report issues with the forward-facing multipurpose camera, which affects several systems including Adaptive Cruise Control, Collision Mitigation, and Lane Keeping Assist. Symptoms often include a dashboard lit with warnings and repeated system failures, sometimes requiring costly camera replacements after the warranty period. Additionally, there are reports of throttle response loss at speeds above 55 mph, accompanied by a tearing noise, though no dashboard warnings appear. Another issue involves water accumulation on the passenger side floor due to an initially misdiagnosed source, requiring extensive repairs. These problems are reported across various mileage ranges, with some owners experiencing repeated incidents over months, raising potential safety concerns related to system reliability and vehicle control.
Owner complaints5
SERVICE BRAKES
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport frequently report issues with the vehicle's automatic braking system activating unexpectedly. Symptoms include the vehicle braking without an obstruction, often accompanied by a collision warning, even when no vehicles are nearby or when navigating curves. Additionally, separate complaints describe mechanical brake issues, such as a squeaking sound due to missing components in the brake assembly and the brake pedal depressing to the floor at low mileage around 2,200 to 7,000 miles. These issues pose potential safety risks, including the possibility of sudden stops that could lead to rear-end collisions. Prospective buyers should be aware of these patterns, especially in terms of unexpected braking and component failures.
Owner complaints3
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport report issues with vehicle speed control, primarily involving unintended deceleration and loss of engine power. Common symptoms include the vehicle decelerating abruptly from highway speeds, failure to respond to the accelerator pedal, and engine warning lights illuminating. One complaint notes the engine seizing due to a mechanical failure, while another describes a sensor malfunction causing inaccurate speed readings and disabling safety features. These issues are reported at varying mileages, with one instance occurring at approximately 77,000 miles. Safety implications include potential for loss of control at high speeds, though no crashes or injuries are mentioned.
Owner complaints2
BACK OVER PREVENTION
Owners report issues with the recall process for the 2022 Honda Passport's back over prevention system, specifically related to delays in obtaining necessary parts for repair. Complaints frequently mention that dealers are unable to schedule repair appointments within the expected 60-day timeframe, citing parts unavailability. Some owners describe difficulties in communication with dealers, including unreturned calls and unfulfilled promises to follow up. No specific mileage is associated with these complaints, and no safety incidents such as crashes or loss of control are reported. Used car buyers should be aware of potential delays in recall repairs for this system.
Owner complaints2
STEERING
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport report steering issues, with symptoms including a noticeable gap and clanking noise during steering and a tendency for the vehicle to pull to the right. These issues are noted at approximately 20,000 to 62,000 miles. One owner describes a clanking noise linked to the rack and pinion, potentially leading to loss of control, while another reports loose steering and a persistent rightward pull. Both complaints mention difficulties with dealer acknowledgment or resolution. These reports suggest potential safety implications, particularly regarding vehicle control.
Owner complaints2
STRUCTURE
Owners of the 2022 Honda Passport report issues with the vehicle's structure, specifically involving water leaks and door latch malfunctions. One owner describes a leak in the body seam that allows water to freeze the emergency brake cables, preventing the vehicle from reversing in cold conditions. This issue is noted to occur after driving in heavy rain, with symptoms appearing after the vehicle is two years old. Another owner reports a problem with the passenger rear door latch, which fails to operate from the inside, posing a safety risk by potentially trapping passengers in an emergency. Both complaints highlight concerns with water intrusion and door operation, which are critical for vehicle safety and functionality.
