   I purchased this vehicle at the end of February 2026. Since the purchase this vehicle has on numerous occasions for no reason applied the brakes and made the steering wheel shake. This has almost caused an accident on several occasions, with today another instance on 5-23-2026. I would turn the system off but from what I understand it re-engages itself after every drive. I like the vehicle but im afraid that its going to cause an accident or someones death. Had I known that…

   The CMBS alerts braking despite there being no obstacles in front or around the vehicle. Also, the at stop lights when the engine shuts off, on several occasions the car has completely turned off and will not let you do anything (place in park or drive) until you manually start it again.

   The vehicle has made multiple abrupt emergency brake activations in non-emergyncy situations. Nearly causing a crash multiple times. It's my opinion this system is severely flawed and extremely dangerous - not only to me but anyone around me. SHAME on Honda for allowing this system to drive on our roads.

   The automatic braking system will activate at various times shaking the wheel and applying the brakes. This happens when there is nothing in front of the vehicle.

   The automatic emergency braking system engages in times when it is not appropriate to do so. The vehicle will flash the “brake” warning light on the dashboard, will shake the steering wheel, apply light braking, and in a few instances has applied hard braking. We have been unable to determine a specific trigger for this issue. The vehicle will engage this feature on strait roads with no other vehicles or obstructions on the road. It has happened during both rainy and sunny…

   My Honda Passport will trigger false forward collision alarms randomly, and for no reason. No obstructions are visible most of the time recently! As the BRAKE warning appears, the steering wheel vibrates and a quick braking jabs causing panic as if the brakes are fully engaged then it releases. This happens for no apparent reason. It is VERY distracting and if the brakes do apply very quickly, serious injury and damage can occur. This has happened multiple multiple 10+…

   I have had 4 instances of driving on the highway that my vehicle applied the brakes automatically. My safety was put at risk because in those instances I was driving at highway speeds and the brakes were applied on their own with no obstruction in front of me. Someone could have rear ended me. I am not able to reproduce the problem on command, but it has occurred multiple times. The car has not been inspected for this issue. The only warning I received was the alert that…

   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…

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

    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…

    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

    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.…
