Is the 2019 Honda Passport reliable?

At a glance
- Next to the 2020
- At 35 complaints for each year on the road, the 2019 runs 2.4 times the 2020 (14). That's the only adjacent model year with enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- Two problems run close. Stalling has 57 complaints and infotainment has 55, out of 278 in all. Stalling tends to show up early. Of the 24 owners who gave a mileage for it, half were under about 10,000 miles and a quarter under about 1,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- Only 7 of the 278 complaints (3%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, well under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site. Counted separately (one report can carry more than one), 7 reports mention a crash and 5 people were hurt. The most crash reports, 3 of 7, fall under airbag.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- Infotainment has a recall on the same system (20V-440). Stalling and phantom braking have none. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Filings peaked in 2022 at 50 (full calendar years only). In 2025 there were 48. So far in 2026, 29 more have come in.

How this compares
278 complaints is 1.2 times the median 2019 model on this site and about the median for a 2019 SUV. Among the 4 Passport model years here it ranks 1st for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
