1 Brake Light On problem of the 2020 Honda Passport

Failure Date: 03/30/2021

Adaptive cruise control works well most of the time. Occasionally, it ignores stopped traffic and closes to a dangerous distance. It then slams on the brakes and all warning lights go on. The sensors are defective. On two lane roads, the sensors detect oncoming traffic and flash the brake warning light. When on cruise, the sensors detect cars making a left turn when passed on the right, and apply the brakes. The same thing happens when on a freeway in the middle lane passing a car on the right. The false warnings have happened since I purchased the vehicle. It's been to the dealership numerous times. They can't fix it. The cruise problems were discovered on a trip to florida from January to March 2021.

2 Brake Light On problem of the 2019 Honda Passport

Failure Date: 07/15/2020

This problem has occurred ever since we bought the Passport in may of 2020 it is an ongoing problem and has occurred many times. Occasionally, while in motion and driving 45-60 mph on a two lane road, particularly on a curve to the right (has occurred on straight stretches too) the anti-collision brake system will apply the brakes as a warning. The speedometer lights up orange with large letters twice in a row (brake! brake!). At this time I can feel the brakes applied lightly and the dealers service writer has confirmed that the brake lights also activate. This happens very frequently in my vehicle (and according to many on the Passport owners forums it is a common problem). With me it will happen at least once every 75-100 miles or more frequently. On a trip in July of about 5000 miles, this occurred over a hundred times. I have only seen this system operate correctly twice, with cars in front of me. . . . . The other times the car is in the oncoming lane. Once, a car passed me on an interstate (me in right lane, he in left, same direction) and when he was about 20 feet ahead of me the warning activated. I have had the car in twice mentioning this problem and the technician has not been able to re-create the problem on their short test drive. The customer service at Honda USA suggested they check the aiming of the windshield camera and the front emblem radar. I asked them to check these the second time I had it in they said these both were aimed properly and there was nothing else they can do about it. They tell me I can disable this at the start of every trip but if I forget to do that and happen to have this occur on an icy road in winter, it's not safe. The car has been in twice for three recalls already and they have not been able to see or fix this problem. And it activated again on the way home after my last recall appointment so it is still a problem.
