This has happened several times but today it was dangerous. I was doing around 40mph and there were some changes in the concrete color and my car slammed on the breaks (again) for no reason. I was almost hit. This keeps happening in my vehicle and I am terrified to drive it. Please help get this recalled. I have a child with cancer and I bought this safer vehicle to transport her to the hospital.

Is 140 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2021 and 2026, roughly 25 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2021 has 140 complaints on file, more than the 2020 (100) and more than the 2022 (61). Of the 8 model years of the Honda Passport we cover, the 2019 has the most (276). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
