does anybody else have problems with brakes squealing on the passport touring? I brought to dealer and they said it’s because it’s sitting 8 hours or more which I don’t buy that crap!! Any suggestions would be helpful

There's never beep a peep out of mine.

If you are referring to brake noise after the car sits overnight and then goes away after the first few applications of the brakes, it's normal. This usually occurs as rust forms overnight on the rotors if they get wet.

I’ve never had a brand new car do that ever and I’ve had many new cars. Just doesn’t make sense

Did you bed the brakes when you bought it? When I picked mine up from the dealer it was the first thing I did on the way home.

Sorry I don’t know what that means. Can you explain for me please. I didn’t do anything but drive it home. It’s a 2020 bought brand new and I’m just baffled by this.

If the noises go away after the first couple of applications of the brakes on the first drive of the day- I wouldn’t worry about it. My rotors are already rusting away on the hub near the wheel studs on a two month old 2021. It’s low grade inexpensive rotor material for sure.

WOW that’s not good only two months. I had an suv Nissian pathfinder older one and it never did this. I just think for brand new cars they need to start using better materials or something because Honda’s are suppose to be good cars.

Yea, the quality of materials used to build this one aren’t up to the same level as my first gen pilot I traded in either. But it does get 6-7 miles a gallon more with essentially the same motor.
My Passport is a far superior vehicle to that one. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and love to drive it.

What do you mean by bed the brakes?
How do you bed the brakes?

Even new vehicles need to have the brakes bedded in.

Oh did not know thats what it was called.
That bedding procedure is very accurate description of my daily driving habits...

Also, regardless of whether or not you broke in the brake pads when new, if you're a driver who eases up on stop signs, you're going to experience the sounds you're hearing. Especially, after sitting overnight. Put some pressure on those pads early in your drive - they heat up and burn off the "noise making" surface rust, and you're good for the rest of the day.
