The driver-side rear roof rail housing/bracket on my 2026 Honda Passport is loose. The affected section is exposed to wind while the vehicle is moving. The roof rail component has already been replaced once, but the replacement component is noticeably looser and appears to fit worse than the original component that was previously installed. The issue has therefore persisted despite a replacement, and the condition of the replacement is worse than that of the original part. I am concerned that the loose roof rail housing or bracket may become progressively dislodged under repeated wind exposure and vehicle vibration. If the component detaches while driving, it could create a road hazard or pose a risk to other motorists. I am requesting that NHTSA document this complaint and evaluate whether this condition reflects a recurring component defect, inadequate retention, or an installation or fitment problem affecting other vehicles of the same model year. The component has already been replaced once, and the replacement has not resolved the concern. I believe the recurring nature of this issue warrants further evaluation rather than treating it solely as an isolated cosmetic problem.
I took my card to Honda of staten island. An advisor took a ride in my car and heard the knocking noise from under the Honda Passport. He asked to have the car be put on a lift to make sure there was nothing dangerous with the Passport, after it was checked by a mechanic, they said it was safe to drive, the noise has become louder. I checked on Honda's website with my VIN, and nothing comes up on recall, however when I look with my model, year it says rr subframe bolt. I am hoping that Honda does not say they can't find anything wrong when I clearly hear the noise Honda's website is describing. I thought I inform NHTSA about this. I don't want to get into an accident or for that matter anyone else because of this issue.
Purchased vehicle November 27th, 2025 took car to the carwash after owning a few months and noticed after the car wash the paint was chipping. Took to dealership was told "OH those are door dings or something to that effect", filed with Honda was told basically the same thing. So, started doing research and came across the NHTSA website to file a complaint as well as the ncds informal dispute settlement program. I have never had a new car or even a used car have the paint chip off when using a car wash. In doing my research it appears this particular make and model with the orange paint is a known issue. I didn't pay the price for this car to be unable to keep it clean. I am also filing a complaint with the state attorney generals office, this car is still under warranty.
