Electrical system: “Over the past two weeks we have been experiencing issues with the Auto Idle Stop device on my 2025 Honda Passport.

NHTSA complaint #11756352, filed 2026-08

Engine: “I have a 2025 Honda Passport. When the start stop shuts off car it will crank very slow or not start at all and have to wait a few minutes for started to cool. After I did some testing on my own then went to the dealer with an appointment, they confirmed this is a know problem with Honda. They did some testing and assured me that my starter is bad. No light or warnings until it would not restart at the stop light. The dealer pulled information off the cars computer and showed me a graph on how low the voltage goes below the threshold.”

NHTSA complaint #11760808, filed 2026-08

Other or unknown: “Idle stop has not engaged motor at intersection. This has happened three times in the last 2 months. Honda Passport has 29024 miles on it. All three incidents required shutting down the Passport and restarting the SUV. Each time there was a backup of cars behind me and I put on warning flashers.”

NHTSA complaint #11744324, filed 2026-06

Transmission and drivetrain: “The auto stop/start feature caused my vehicle to stall in the middle of the road.
