Electrical System · reported Nov 10, 2026
On XXX, my 2025 Honda Passport failed to restart after the automatic idle-stop system activated while I was stopped in heavy traffic. When I released the brake, the engine would not restart despite multiple attempts. The dashboard warning lights illuminated, including the red battery warning light. My vehicle was completely immobilized in an active lane of heavy traffic, blocking other motorists. I was unable to move the vehicle out of the roadway, creating a serious risk of a rear-end collision or other traffic accident. I remained stranded until a passing motorist stopped to assist me and…
Power Train · reported Nov 9, 2026
Vehicle is equipped with Auto Idle Stop (AIS). When coming to a complete stop at traffic lights or intersections, the engine shuts off as designed. However, upon releasing the brake pedal, the vehicle fails to automatically restart. The engine stalls completely, leaving the vehicle immobilized in active traffic. This has occurred multiple times with increasing frequency over the past six months, creating a severe rear-end collision hazard. The most recent occurrence was 11/7/2026.
Electrical System · reported Nov 8, 2026
The vehicle suffered a complete engine stall in an active traffic intersection during an Auto Start-Stop / Idle Stop event and entered a 45-minute electronic communication freeze. Car stopped and then when took foot off of pedal, the car stopped and it didn't actually start. Breaks were hard and I couldn't do anything with the car. It didn't allow me to do anything. Usually it takes time to start after it is stopped and sometimes it takes 3 seconds to start when stopped in a traffic light. In one occasion, I heard the sound when there is an issue, but when reviewing, it doesn't show an actual…
Engine · reported Nov 5, 2026
I have a 2025 Honda Passport with just over 20,000 miles that is having the Start/Stop issue where the car will not restart primarily after it has been driven a few miles and the engine is hot. I usually try to turn this feature off, but if I forget, there is a good chance that I will be stuck blocking traffic. Very dangerous in high traffic situations. This has happened several times recently. I first started noticing the issue when restarting the car after a short stop and the engine was still hot. The starter seemed to pause before starting the engine. I took the car to the local Honda…
Steering · reported Nov 5, 2026
When the IDLE LOCK system engages and the engine shuts off, there is an intermittent issue where the car will not automatically restart the engine. The vehicle will go into neutral and require shutdown and restart before going into drive. This has resulted in extremely dangerous situations when it occurs on highways or in traffic. The Honda service department was unable to replicate this occurrence and recommended that I disable the Idle lock system each time I started the car.
