Service Brakes Problems of Honda Passport - part 2

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Passport. The contact stated that an abnormal, squeaking sound would emit from the brake pedal upon depression without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they discovered that both the clevis pin and the cotter pin clip were missing from the master brake cylinder. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

Twice I had all kinds of safety alerts were scrolling on may 2nd ans August 7th. . First it was a fluid leak and cable. Second there was a piece of metal in the brakes. Abs sensor full of grease. Now sometimes brakes is flashing for no reason (like going uphill) and if I need to brake at a higher speed on the freeway, the brakes make a sound of pots and pans rattling. As I have no confidence in the brakes, I tried downshifting but the car speeds up. From time to time the car speeds up or slows down without any reason as I am not using cruise control. Forward collision warning does not work properly, in fact collision mitigation system is not fiable. I get a warning sign for the back seats when there is nobody and nothing on the seats. Everything is very irregular.

Vehicle started having issues with steering wheel shaking under braking at 10k miles. It started getting worse and at15k miles dealer diagnosed warped rotors . Dealer stated that brakes are not under warranty as this is wear and tear item. Dealer resurface rotors instead of replacing them as Honda wouldn’t cover it . Issue has returned again and under breaking steering wheel is shaking pretty bad . Honda does not want to cover this under warranty. I have contacted them and they said this is not under recall and they can’t help me. I wanted to report this as I do believe this safety issue that could result in serious accident and possible even casualties.

Pulling into home garage vehicle suddenly surged forward. Brakes were applied and the brake peddle went to the floor and did not engage brakes to stop the Passport. Effects were the Passport crashed into a refrigerator we had there to handle over flow and crushed the refrigerator and knocked a hole in the wall of the garage. No warning or alarms sounded which Honda said does not happen at low speeds. Took Passport to local dealer. They kept it for 1 week and just drove it around trying to see if it would replicate what had happened. It did not replicate what happen insinuated that it must not have happen the way we reported it. Gave them internet copies of similiar reports that had occurred to same make and model . They gave us 2 choices go into another lease (which would go from 350 a month to 565 a month with no proceeds from present lease. We brought the Passport home. Turned over to our insurance. $ 4365. 00 damage.

The contact owns a 2022 Honda Passport. The contact stated that while stopped at a red light and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal depressed to the floor, and the vehicle moved forward. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was able to duplicate the failure, and the brake master cylinder, vsa modulator assembly, and the brake fluid was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,200.

Our 2021 Honda Passport ex-l sometimes hits the brakes on its own. It happens every now and then, like when I'm exiting a freeway, or sometimes even when going with the flow of traffic. I've seen this issue talked about in the Passportforum. Com, but today I saw an official article citing NHTSA concerns, so I'm writing to say that I too have experienced this potential dangerous issue while on road. My vehicle randomly brake checks on its own when it falsely detects the situation in front of me, which could result in a rear end collision. I'd like to see this issue resolved, so please feel free to contact me if you need any more information. Even back in 2022, I was experiencing this issue. This has happened occasionally. The last time was about a few weeks ago on the freeway. Please see the forum screenshot for my reference-- I'm "tombox" in that thread. . Read more...

I purchased a 2021 Honda Passport sport on April 30, 2021. Since purchasing the Passport, we have experienced a "phantom braking" problem, in which the automatic emergency braking system is deployed for a few seconds. This occurs several times a month. We have taken the Passport to a Honda dealer and they claimed that there maybe some type of obstruction on the emergency braking system camera that is causing the problem. We have not seen any obstruction on the camera and clean it regularly, but we still experience the braking issue. While no serious incident has occurred to date, we are extremely concerned that the braking issue could cause our Passport to brake and be rear ended by a car behind us.

Vehicle has slammed on the brakes multiple times now one on the highway going 60mph and in the city 35mph. Today on a open 2 lane city road, and shadow on the road with no vehicles in site slammed on the auto brakes with a collision warning while the wife was driving slowed the vehicle down. Would of been easily rear ended if a vehicle was behind in our 2022 Honda pilot, not a Passport listed for our VIN# your system is showing.

We are experiencing frequent phantom braking like the 2019 accords and crvs and believe the 2019 Passport should be included in the upcoming recall.

Vehicle intermittently applies front collision system braking on curves and on highway. It is vary unsafe and have almost been rear ended multiple times due to front collisions system engaging and applying brakes. Vehicle front collision system applies brakes randomly and with no vehicles or obstacles in site. This happens during various speeds anywhere from 30- 50mph in city and 60-75mph on highways. ( car is unpredictable and unsafe).

SUV(Honda pilot 2022) continues to brake. And lose power after brake pedal has been released causing unsafe and un controlled stopping. ( no warning lights or errors ) we have almost been rear ended do to this. Taken back to dealer to repair after only 200 miles on SUV. Dealer replaced antilock brake module. After repairs SUV seemed to brake normally for about one week then started doing the same thing again but way worse, to the point we didnt think we could make it home. The sticking brakes, loss of power to the SUV got so bad that it was unsafe to operate and was towed to the dealer awaiting another repair. . . In shop now two times with less then 500 miles for same exact safety issue. This braking issue could possibly cause serious accidents if not remedied soon. Hearing stories other 2022 Hondas are dealing with this issue as well. . . . Hoping no one gets seriously hurt if issue is left unaddressed.

The contact owns a 2021 Honda Passport. The contact stated while driving at a slow speed, the brake pedal would intermittently fail to operate as needed without warning. The contact stated that he had to repeatedly pump the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was made to inspect the braking system. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 400.

The contact owns a 2021 Honda Passport. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and coming to a stop light, the brake pedal was depressed, and the wheels locked up. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to come to a gradual stop. The contact was able to continue driving after brakes had released. The failure occurred intermittently. The service brake warning light was illuminated. The dealer was unable to reproduce the failure and the vehicle was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000.

The auto braking system comes on randomly without warning and for no reason. A warning flashing brake. Brake comes on, you can feel the brakes grab slightly. It's very unnerving in traffic and slows the car slightly. . . . It hasn't cause the car to stop yet. When I took it to the dealership they "couldn't find anything wrong with it and couldn't get it to do the same thing" I explained that it was happening randomly, that's why they couldn't get it to duplicate. This is definitely a safety hazard when driving and distracting the drive from their attention on the road. Their seems to be something wrong with the sensors but they don't seem to know what to do or are willing to acknowledge the problem. This has happened at least a dozen different times since I bought the car 4 months ago.

Right front disk brake caliper unit failed because the top bolt was not properly tightened. Driving in normal highway conditions (but in the utah desert) the top bolt of the unit fell out and the caliper unit dropped off the disk. When repaired (new bolt and rubber fittings) the mechanic checked the left front brake and found it loose as well. Invoice for repair not immediately available. Cost $106.

Car will brake when no one is near sometimes jamming on brakes. I reported it to dealer 2 times. They said no software updates avalable and no codes showing a problem. I left the dealer and drove less than 2 miles down the road when the brakes can on again. I returned to the dealer again when they informed me there is nothing they can do. Maybe I have a fly on the sensor setting it off. I replied don't try to bs me, I'm a cdl driver for over 40 years.

The car is park at home for the first time after the purchase from the dealer the day before. I went to start the car in the morning the brake pedal is stiff, hard, or locked causing the car to not start when start button is pushed. I ended up using the remote start and goes in the car put my foot on the pedal; the brake pedal is no longer stiff, hard, or locked and the car start when I pushed the start button. Every day is the same since.

Very frequent false warnings for collision braking system. Bushes, road signs, roundabouts, oncoming traffic, etc. Will false trigger the system. Many owners reporting false warnings or braking but no fix. Distracting and dangerous when it happens. Once the vehicle slammed on the brakes for no good reason due to a car turning off the roadway far ahead at low speeds. The system is distracting and could in some circumstances apply brakes when no reasonable threat is present. Careful driver who leaves distance, and I now disable this supposed safety system to be safer from it.

The collision avoidance braking system and warning goes off randomly when there is no danger or even another car present. The warning occurs and the steering wheel will shake and on a few occasions the brakes were actually applied when no danger was present. I now disable the system by shutting it off upon starting. It is a dangerous circumstance when the brakes go off un-commanded. This has happened a number of times during the one year and 3500 miles I have owned the vehicle. I did identify one particular location this would occur quite often. The dealer, upon my complaint, claimed the system was ok. Normal. I went on-line and read of many people complaining of this same thing happening to their Honda Passport and one report stated it happened at highway speed and they were hit from behind. I suggest this system be reviewed or permanently be disabled. I reported below the last date I had this happened and roughly the mileage on the vehicle I first noticed it.

The collision detection system frequently lights up the flashing "brake" notice under conditions that should not require a braking notification. It is too sensitive and I'm very concerned it will activate the brakes when not necessary and cause a rear end collision. This happens regularly and has occurred numerous times over the year we've had vehicle. The most noticeable is when when going around a curve and a car is in the other lane directly in front of you. So far it has not activated the brakes, but there should be some ai built into the system to know that you are going around a curve based on the fact that the wheels are turned and not be as sensitive going around a curve.

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).

Vehicle will intermittently activate collision mitigation braking system with no traffic nor objects nearby, causing the vehicle to come to a near stop, or full stop. Speed, weather, and driving conditions vary during false activation, but it has also happened at highway speed, nearly causing a high-speed rear-end accident. Vehicle has twice been taken to local dealer and since they claim that it cannot be easily recreated due to intermittent condition, then they cannot diagnose & repair.

I have has consistent problems with the braking system. It will brake and/or show the warning when nothing is there. The jerking of this has caused me to get in an accident June 2020 while moving to a new duty station. It was raining and there were no other cars on this highway thankfully. It was scary and I was even going below the speed limit. This caused my car to become nearly uncontrollable. My children and I were fortunately unharmed, but pretty shaken up. I had everything repaired and the same thing still happens to this day. That was only about 3 months after I purchased my car. I hear a lot of rattling as if something has come undone inside. Many times when I am driving I can feel the car jerk to a certain side or forward. That issue almost caused another accident in Feb 2021. I was backing out of a parking spot with plenty of room between myself and the other cars. My braking warning came on and it stopped my car. Then immediately it jerked back aggressively and almost hit a car behind me. Soon after I managed to back out and shift into drive, it jerked forward while stopping then jerking again. Although it is not all of the time, it has happened enough to cause accidents and almost a lot more. I think the 2019 Honda Passport should be looked into more and corrected. As these issues should not be happening.

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.

The automatic braking system activated unnecessarily while driving on the interstate. The cruise control was set to 75 mph. There were no objects or vehicles in front of my car during the brake activation. While cruising down the interstate, the "brake!" message appeared and the vehicle automatically applied the brakes. I noticed that the vehicle shouldn't be braking and to avoid being rear ended on the interstate, I pressed the gas pedal to try to deactivate the system. Since the first incident it has activated unnecessarily again 3 times.

Was driving 70mph on the freeway using adaptive cruise control (acc). No cars ahead of me, several behind. The car icon on my dash (lights up while using acc) began flashing then my Passport (on it's own) slammed on the breaks, forcing my daughter and I into our seatbelts hard, and forced the cars behind to slam on their breaks. The break warning that usually flashes on the dash when there's a reason to break didn't happen. It was a close call but everyone avoided a collision. Immediately took to dealership. They said they'd never heard of that happening but I googled it and the issue pops up several times in online forums and there's a class action lawsuit from 2017 cr-v's from problems with the acc. Waiting to hear what dealership says, but the guy said they'd just take it for a few test drives and see if it happens again. Absolutely do not feel safe driving vehicle now!.

Starting at about 500 miles, a crackling noise would propagate through the speakers and the infotainment and rearview camera would shut off. Took the car for service and the fixed the problem for a few hundred miles when it came back much more severe. Stepping on the gas, or bumps would produce erratic issues, not only freezing the infotainment along with intense crackling noises, but also, braking on its own. Took the car to back for service and the dealer stated that they could not reproduce the braking on its own issue. Not unsurprising because the pattern of problems is random. Service at least admitted the infotainment issues and I was told that this is a common problem that Honda is working on a repair involving replacement of the harness. They wanted to replace the infotainment unit but the part would not be in stock for almost 4 weeks. The problems have only worsened since and now blacking out of the speedometer is the latest safety issue. Called Honda and asked to have the car replaced, only to be told that I am a liar and the car has not been serviced once yet. The Honda representative provided the most disgusting customer service I have ever encountered denying the issues and telling me that there is no safety issue and basically implying that the infotainment problem almost does not exist. He lied telling me that Honda is not working on any permanent fix, as according to him there is not a problem. Dealer and service employees all know the problem, but Honda believes that its customers are idiots with zero intelligence. Made me realize the importance of using a lawyer and participating in class actions, as the only way Honda will respond to the "elephant in the room" is through legal action. I also hope NHTSA will act quickly on this very well known problem and force a solution.

Since I have leased the vehicle, the collision mitigation breaking system is coming on when not needed, at times during highway speeds. . I have been nearly rear-ended three times, the latest causing the man behind me to almost go off the road into a ditch (thankfully he was able to just barely avoid this) and it is happening when my husband is driving the car as well. It is very startling and worrisome. The car actually nosedives and comes to a complete stop at times�other times it breaks suddenly and then releases or I have to put my foot down on the gas while trying to disengage the system. I have taken it into the dealership a few times already and they are not able to fix it as it cannot be replicated when they have had it (weeks can go by in between when it happens) and I have expressed I do not want them constantly driving my vehicle trying to cause this issue when I was told explicitly that if this happens and they're driving my vehicle, my insurance is responsible. I have also filed a complaint with Honda motor America where a case has been opened and closed very quickly. Their response was that it is pretty much not their problem, I am on my own unless I am able to make it happen in front of an advisor, or have an advisor drive my car frequently (like using it to go to and from work, etc. Being they do not drive it far when trying to replicate the issue) and they do not hold any liability if this issue is to cause an accident where myself or other drivers on the work are injured in any capacity. I also have been getting warning lights at times that the system is malfunctioning and my automatic high beams have begun to not work properly as well. The dealer told me the only fix is to �if I were you I would just shut it off every time I get in the car�. I want it to work properly being it was part of the reason I leased the vehicle as it's standard equipment,.

After car sits overnight, break pedal is rock hard and can't be depressed thus not allowing the car to start using push start. All electrical works fine but msg on dash says "to start engine press brake" the pedal won't budge and the car won't start. Have to use two feet at times to depress break pedal to allow push start button to engage. Every morning for last six days this happens. Have encountered problem even after car is warmed up. First dealer said normal but no one should have to use two feet to press the break pedal to start the car. Currently at second dealer to investigate as service writer experienced what I described and said that brake pedal was excessively hard. Vehicle is on flat ground and break pedal is not being pumped. Happens upon just getting into car, placing foot on break to start car and won't start.

After car sits overnight, or even as little as a few hours, break pedal is rock hard and can't be depressed thus not allowing the car to start using push start.

Have to use two feet at times to depress break pedal to allow push start button to engage. Every morning for last six days this happens. Have encountered problem even after car is warmed up. First dealer said normal but no one should have to use two feet to press the break pedal to start the car. Currently going to a second dealer to investigate issue at first oil change. Honda, please issue a fix. Once car is started, brakes return to normal feel.

When changing the brakes I noticed a lot of surface rust when I inspected further I found two holes in frame one on the front passenger side behind the wheel and the second in the rear on the drivers side infront of the backside of the leaf spring shackle the hole in the back is as tall of the frame rail and about 10 inches long only on the outside of the frame the hole in the front is only a few inches tall and 6 inches long on the outside of frame and starting on the bottom of frame rail the vehicle is unsafe but my only means of transportation I inspect it daily to check for any disforming of the frame.
