Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Was driving 70mph on the freeway using adaptive cruise control (acc). No cars ahead of me, several behind. The car icon on my dash (lights up while using acc) began flashing then my Passport (on it's own) slammed on the breaks, forcing my daughter and I into our seatbelts hard, and forced the cars behind to slam on their breaks. The break warning that usually flashes on the dash when there's a reason to break didn't happen. It was a close call but everyone avoided a collision. Immediately took to dealership. …”

“While vehicle is in motion I've experienced issues with collision mitigation system braking the vehicle when a vehicle is coming toward me in the opposite lane (oncoming traffic). This occurs while I'm driving the vehicle. I've taken to the dealer and the issue was not replicated. It does occur intermittently. I've experienced issues with the infotainment system too. The entire system freezes and becomes inoperable. It does not correct until vehicle is parked, turned off, driver door opened, then vehicle restarted. Lastly, the auto idle features consistently does not engage. …”

“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. …”

“3x in the last 6months my Passport has failed to start after the auto stop at idle has engaged. The dealership said the battery is fine and one technician just said “disable the feature “. Today when adaptive cruise control was engaged, the car increased in speed from the set 72 to over 80mph. I also emailed Honda corp and their response was to see a dealer and did not acknowledge if the auto stop/start issue was known for other vehicles.”

NHTSA complaint #11465997, filed 2022-05

“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. …”
