This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I am constantly hearing a cracking noise through the dash. I thought it was the speaker, but I can hear it even when radio is off. At first it would come and go. Now, it is almost constant. It sounds like there is something rattling against a speaker.
I currently have a 2020 Honda Passport. When I am driving the radio system begins making loud cracking and popping sounds (almost as small things are hitting the windshield). The sounds can still be heard if I turn the entertainment system off. It doesn't matter if I turn the volume low if it always the same frequency. It will continue on an off while driving for a few minutes and then it frequently make a very loud static sound abruptly before saying the network is no longer working. The sound is so sound and jarring it causes me to jump while driving because I never know when this is going to happen. I found and article online that stated: Common symptoms that Honda drivers have experienced in affected vehicles include popping or crackling sounds from the speakers, loss of sound from the audio system, network loss messages, and errors in the display screen. Also there was a Honda Bulletin in March 2019 - 11536Version 1 that states this exact issue was a problem in an earlier model- After realizing this because it has stated happening more frequently initial time it happened was probably prior to this one however we thought it was bugs hitting the windshield while we were driving at night time in a moral rural area.
My infotainment system cracks and blanks out often. It makes a very loud noise and seems to be even lounder than the radio is set at the time. It is very distracting. This is a new vehicle to me and when it happens, especially the first time, it scared me tremendously. It has also completely blanked the screen out from time to time as well. After researching online, this seems to be a common problem but no recall has been issued. I contacted my nearest dealer (Planet Honda, Golden CO) and they said that I could pay to have it checked out, but thats all they could do. the date listed is the first time it happened, a few days after purchased. It happens daily.
Not long after buying my car I noticed a popping sound from the speakers. I took it back to Honda in which they added a harness. This did nothing and the popping got louder to the point it became a distraction and even turning the radio panel off did nothing. The speakers would get hot along with a burning smell. I took it in for a 2nd time in which nothing was done and then the third time the speakers were re-wired. As of today the popping noise is back, I lose connection to all audio (Bluetooth, FM, AM, SirusXM, AndroidAuto, etc.) this makes it impossible to safely use the phone while driving down the road. Along with the popping the main screen continues to cycle through a black screen. Sometimes it comes up immediately sometimes it takes a few minutes. This is an issue when trying to back out of a driveway or parking space. Honda is well aware of the issue as they have sense released a bulletin stating that the problem will be fixed, but with the cavate that Honda be able to duplicate. Outside of hearing the popping sounds there is no warning of when the speakers and or screen with cease to work. These issues do not happen constantly but when they do are an issue at highway speeds. Outside of a harness, re-wiring and constantly re-setting the system there is nothing that Honda seems to be willing to do and drivers should just "deal" with it. The popping has been duplicated along with video evidence, they have also been able to duplicate the system losing connection as that is part of the bulletin and the back up camera issue has a recall but there has been no permanent fix on the speakers. None of the tried methods has seemed to fix many users issues and Honda continues to willfully ignore them.
I was driving on the interstate, no vehicles in front of me or beside me and I heard a loud explosion like a shotgun blast. I looked in rear view mirror and saw glass bouncing from my vehicle. I pulled over and discovered that my sunroof while closed had exploded. Fortunately I had the shade closed so no glass came into the cabin.
