2022 Honda Passport Electrical System Problems

With the modern SUV, the electronics must be not only current and up-to-date but also functional. Otherwise, the entire family is going to hate the ride ahead, as seen by recent complaints.

One Edmunds review points out, “Dashboard goes blank from time to time.”

Honda has decided to remain quiet about the problems with the electrical system. However, the silence doesn’t mean the problems have gone away. It only means that customers continue to get more frustrated as time goes on. Plus, it wasn’t that long ago that Honda had to pay out a class-action lawsuit on older models with defective infotainment systems, so not much has changed recently. In reality, Honda provides “versatility nowhere,” unless the systems decide to work for a minute.

2022 Honda Passport Powertrain Problems

Despite how important the powertrain is, Honda hasn’t taken the time to ensure integrity with the system. Instead, this is another vital part causing trouble.

Read what this Edmunds review has to say. “The transmission sometimes shifts hard, not smooth.”

Again, Honda is mum on the problems. Even though this is a major component that makes or breaks the SUV, the automaker remains silent. Surely, the company won’t be as quiet when talking about how great the Passport is. Instead, the automaker will be shouting from the rooftops about how great it is, even though customer reviews tell a different story. For now, anyone looking for true “versatility” has to look elsewhere. The Passport isn’t the ticket to smooth-driving enjoyment for today’s busy families.
