2019 Honda Passport Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“2019 Honda Passport touring w/ 10k miles o blind downhill s-curve approx one mile from my home.. My zf-9 speed transmission slipped out of gear while driving, resulting in loud grinding, lurching, and complete loss of power while driving. Incident occurred immediately after a full stop at the end of my lane before entering main roadway and downhill curves. I had to coast to the bottom with the grinding and gnashing gears and bucking, lurching vehicle dealership claims they could not replicate the problem, nor had they ever heard of this problem. …”

“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. …”

“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.”

“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.”

“Transmission kicks into neutral for no reason with stop driving when safe. Transmission problem. See manual error message. Rough transmission shifting.”
