general problems of the 2020 Honda Passport

The brake system is not working properly when stopped on a hill. The vehicle will roll backwards after pushing the brake. If you are stopped on a hill you have to keep the brake engaged while also accelerating to keep from rolling backwards and hitting the car behind you.

We are currently experiencing very cold weather in my area. I have a Honda Passport that uses a camera for its braking, lkas, acc, and other features. During extreme cold, the camera shorts out causing safety systems to fail. Others report the same issue on Honda cars: [xxx] no accident or injury resulted - merely trying to avoid a future safety issue information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

On Nov 9, 2024 I was pulling into a parking spot in a public parking garage, after turning 2 tight corners to approach the parking spot. About half way into the parking spot, the car suddenly lurched and accelerated and I crashed into a 90 degree concrete corner wall! it happened so fast, without any warning sounds or abs brakes deploying. The entire front passenger corner of my car was badly damaged. Luckily I was not injured, nor were there any other vehicles or persons involved. It is just not possible that I could have personally pulled into a parking spot at such a high speed as to cause such extreme damage to the vehicle! I drove the vehicle to a body shop on 11/11/24, which was one recommended by my insurance company. The vehicle was inspected by the body shop, which was directly in contact with my insurance company. I did ask the shop to make sure the mechanic checked for any safety issues during repair, as I was concerned as to the cause of the accident. I have an impeccable driving record and I cannot explain how such an accident could happen! I had no issues with the car previously. Upon further inspection into the damage, on 1/3/25 it was finally evaluated as a total loss, as there was damage to the frame and other issues! I did receive a statement on 1/3/25 from the body shop that there was a "fault in the system, causing gas pedal lock, which might be cause of accident". I felt I had to report this possible issue that resulted in a total loss and obviously could have injured myself, others or other vehicles!.

The collision mitigation braking system (cmbs) comes on randomly with no vehicles or obstructions in front of it.

While at a stoplight with traffic behind me, my Honda quit and couldn't be moved out of road, or restarted for service. No warning on dashboard or lights to let me know what problem was. It went through every error in the system! I had to call police to block traffic and call a wrecker to come tow me to autozone for a replacement battery. It was the wrecker service that advised it was not the first time he had seen this happen. My car is only 3 years old and did not give a warning, it just stopped in traffic putting me and others in danger. I had unnecessary cost and repairs that should never had to be made. The local police had to use resources that took time away from them as well. This was on a busy Saturday afternoon on a well traveled road. This is not in the best interest of the public! now I have to take time off work to have it looked at with dealer. All this could have been avoided if this technology was not put on the vehicle. I expect better from Honda! my next vehicle will be something without all this unnecessary technology that puts people in danger!.

Vehicle braking heavily and unexpectedly on highway and interstate due to defective Honda sensing group input data (radar, camera, on-board software creating dangerous situation) at high speeds (60-70mph).

Tl-the contact owns a 2020 Honda pilot. The contact stated that the front end radar system and the collision avoidance system had been sensing other objects and abruptly slowing the vehicle down almost to a complete stop. The contact had turned off the feature so it would not engage in error like before. The contact was able to override when applying the brakes. The other features of the front end radar system the adaptive cruise control was not reading any object in front the vehicle and speed up possibly causing a collision. . The final feature has to do with the panel displaying the wrong speed of the the vehicle . The vehicle was taken for the dealer Honda of downtown chicago 1111 n clark st ste 2, chicago, IL 60610 (312) 766-1095 and they performed a software update for the panel to show the correct speed. They also suggested that the front panel of the vehicle be cleaned and wiped off at all times for correct readings of any object in front of the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that the system could be reading bumps in the road, curves in the road and rain that could cause inaccurate readings. The issue wase escalated to a case manager but there was not much they say they could do. . The failure mileage was 7,600. Tf.
