2025 Honda Passport problems

“When I sitting at red light and the start/stop system Engages,the vehicle will shift into neutral and the brakes will not hold the vehicle in place when pressing the brake pedal .State that the vehicle would still move forward even when brake pedal is being pressed.”

“The contact owns a 2025 Honda Pilot. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, upon acceleration from a complete stop, the vehicle shifted into neutral and would not shift into drive. When the failure occurred, the contact was forced to restart the vehicle before continuing to drive. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where a diagnostic evaluation was performed; however, the vehicle was not repaired as the contact was advised that the failure was not duplicable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.”

“My mother bought this new 2025 Honda passport Ex+L with 5 miles brand new in dec 2024. Since owning it I have put only 10650 miles on it. Less than 5k a year and mostly drove highway miles in that first year. Was told during purchase that Honda link would be available so that I can get help, see maintainer reminders, and even use to towing, and repair services. But they had stopped Honda link earlier this year. This was a major factor for my elderly mother so that she had these options for her if needed. Also, I have been trying to get Honda to fix both top rear seals, there are 2in+ gaps in the top rear, where dirt, Debree, and water are accumulating which I am worried that it will cause rust, due to poor paint quality. I took it to the dealership where the service manager even said it looked defective but would need to get same model to compare. It's now been over a year with no resolution. This is my mother's first new vehicle ever and would be her last vehicle. Also, I have noticed that the front collision waring just appear out of nowhere at times. This has been another ongoing issue. Then just recently been feeling transmission lurching and not engaging.…”

“Collision Mitigation Braking System ( CMBS) on occasion orange dash brake light illuminates doesn't stop vehicle , has occurred since purchase on 02/25/2025 at least 150 times , current mileage to 06/16/2026 6877 miles, ref Honda Case # 1641332 , now every time on short drives this occurs 1-2 times, contacted Holman Honda Centennial Co several times , again last week " told there is no fix, you can turn off CMBS each tine vehicle is started " this is a safety feature , there are numerous complaints on line also with NTSB , am concerned that at some point the brakes could be slammed on without warning and cause another vehicle to rear end me”

“Having problems with sudden braking and not accelerating after stopping at lights or stop signs. No warning lights came on. I dropped it off at dealership. They are keeping the vehicle due to safety concerns while driving the vehicle”

“There are major gaps on both top non rail tracks, this is the base exl model without rails. I have been having to remove debree and dirt where gaps located rear top spoiler where I was told by service manager that it looks defective but never got reply. Its been over a year now and honda keeps saying to contact dealership which I have done many times. There shouldn't be any gaps that would cause this issue that would cause dirt and possibly rust. I have owned several vehicles that had no gaps on top trim and am a loyal honda/Acura customer for decades. I just want this defect confirmed and fixed. The suv only has 6k and had nothing but problems with support from honda and dealership. They said due to no models of 2025 exl on lot would take pics and call me about this. Its been a year with only honda rep saying this is dealerships issue to diagnose? Always had great support from honda, but shouldn't honda know specs of this issue? Plan on keeping this great suv for decades but not wanting rust of body problems years down the road. Honda I am disappointed in how this has not been resolved in a timely matter.”
