“As per other recalls of the 2019 Honda Passport we are having the same symptoms. The windshield area along both a pillars are popping and making noise. This is a problem we have been having, finally looking it up on internet we found that other passports of this year are being recalled for faulty weld spots. We have had this noise sitting at a red light, and clear good weather conditions and also while traveling down the road.”
NHTSA complaint #11315738, filed 2020-03, 6,000 miles“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. …”

NHTSA complaint #11323002, filed 2020-05, 9,000 miles“I have has consistent problems with the braking system. It will brake and/or show the warning when nothing is there. The jerking of this has caused me to get in an accident June 2020 while moving to a new duty station. It was raining and there were no other cars on this highway thankfully. It was scary and I was even going below the speed limit. This caused my car to become nearly uncontrollable. My children and I were fortunately unharmed, but pretty shaken up. I had everything repaired and the same thing still happens to this day. That was only about 3 months after I purchased my car. …”

After retrieving the vehicle, while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle.
