On four separate occasions, while operating my 2025 Honda Passport, the vehicle has experienced an abrupt and dangerous electronic transmission failure. While coming to a complete stop at active traffic lights, the vehicle's Auto Engine Idle Stop feature engages and shuts down the engine normally. However, upon releasing the brake pedal to accelerate, the vehicle experiences a severe electrical/electronic fault during the automated engine restart phase. Instead of restarting and shifting into…

My 2020 Honda Passport (approximately 52,000 miles) has experienced recurring Auto Idle Stop/engine restart failures in May 2023, November 2024, and October 2026, despite multiple repairs by an authorized Honda dealership. The latest incident occurred in October 2026, immediately after a routine state inspection. While stopped with my foot on the brake, the dashboard unexpectedly displayed N (Neutral) and instructed me to remove my foot from the accelerator, although I was not accelerating.…

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…

2019 HONDA PASSPORT
Filed Oct 14, 2026
My 2019 Honda Passport (VIN [XXX]) has an intermittent, dangerous failure of the Auto Idle Stop (auto start/stop) system: when the engine shuts off at a complete stop and I release the brake, it fails to restart on its own, leaving the vehicle dead and immobile in live traffic. There is no warning light before it happens. This has stranded me at intersections and in traffic, creating a serious risk of being struck from behind. The condition matches NHTSA's open Engineering Analysis EA25004 and…
