NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Complaints about the 2022 Honda Passport center most heavily on the forward collision avoidance system. Owners frequently report the automatic braking activating without warning and without an apparent obstacle present, including at highway speeds. Several owners describe the system triggering false alerts and engaging the brakes unexpectedly, which they find particularly unsettling in traffic. Engine complaints make up the next notable cluster, though those reports are more varied in nature. Steering draws a smaller number of reports, with owners describing stiffness and unusual noise from the steering column. A handful of owners also mention the infotainment screen blacking out or freezing, which takes the backup camera and rear cross-traffic display offline along with it. An isolated report describes the sunroof glass shattering unexpectedly while driving.

By System
The 2022 Honda Passport has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the rear suspension and the brake master cylinder, either of which can cause a loss of vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.
On the suspension side, rear control arms in vehicles sold or registered in certain high-corrosion states can weaken and fail, causing the driver to lose handling and directional control. The brake concern involves a fastener connecting the brake booster and master cylinder that may not have been properly assembled, allowing the master cylinder to separate and causing a partial or total loss of braking. On the visibility side, a faulty connector in the camera system can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the display screen when backing up. There is also a risk that the heating pads behind both side-view mirrors were not properly bonded to the glass, which can allow the mirror glass to detach and reduce the driver's view of traffic alongside and behind the vehicle.
