| Steering problems |
On my way to work I was on the highway and five warning lights came on out of no where. All five warnings were the safety assist systems had problems. I drove to the Honda dealership and found out it was my microchip for my Honda,the main microchip for all of the safety and system controls were dead/bad and that it would need to be replace. I was told by the service manager that without the micro chip the vehicle would no longer be drivable as it controls power steering system, brakes system, lane departures, etc. If I would have ignored those warning lights, all of those systems all systems would have failed putting my life at risk and others in their vehicles as well . My vehicle was bought with 3 miles on the speedometer and was only 2 years old at the time of this occurrence.
After turning a corner steering locked and unable to steer car . Wrecked.
Forward collision warning (fcw): at random intervals, the fcw will give a false positive warning of an imminent collision with a car approaching from the opposite direction. This has occurred at various times over the past 2+ years. Comments to this effect to the Honda service representatives have indicated that this anomaly has been reported previously. They have not provided a fix or software update to correct this issue. The event is a safety issue because of the distraction from focusing on the road ahead. Although the automatic braking system has not been employed, the driver may in response to the false warning apply the brakes and cause an accident inadvertently.
Hello I've had my 2021 Passport awd for only a week and have noticed it pulls noticeably to the right. This even happens when " the lane keep assist" is switched off. It is a constant struggle to keep it from drifting into the right lane and other cars. This happens on all types of roads but is most noticeable of highways. The pull is so strong that it makes the lane keep assist system (lkas) unusable. When using lkas on cruise control the vehicle keeps drifting into the shoulder of the road and even crosses the line. I went to the NHTSA. Gov website and found that Honda is aware of this issue on the 2019 Passport (off-center steering /pulling) and has sent communications about it's investigation to it's dealerships. The alignment being off on a factory car that is built for off-roading is highly irregular. For comparison, my Honda hr-v which I had for 3'years has never had any alignment issues. .
