2019 Honda Passport Engine Problems

“I copied this from someone posting, since it is exactly the problem I am experiencing and more. '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.' the remote control connect doesn't work. Side sensors work intermitently. It accelerates when releasing the gas pedal but the SUV doesn't pick up speed. …”

“48 hours after I purchased my 2019 Honda pilot the transmission blew. I was driving on the highway on my way to a vacation with my car packed for the week and I heard a bang as if I hit something and then it sounded as if something was dragging on the bottom but nothing was there. I was extremely scared because I was stuck alone on the side of the highway because the transmission blew on my brand new car with less that 100 miles. My vehicle had to be towed away and they had to place a brand new engine. I was offered no compensation and they refused to give me a new vehicle.”

“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. …”

“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. …”

“Auto Stop feature will engage when I stop the car at a light, and then the engine will fail to turn back on when I take my foot off the break. I then have to try and get the car to turn off so I can restart it. I’ve taken it to Honda and they did a system update and also had the battery replaced. It was better for a while, but has now happed again twice in the last couple months.”
