It appears the rumors about the Honda 9 speed transmission having major flaws are true.
It’s 12:50 am, I’m sitting at a remote highway intersection with my wife and dog waiting for tow truck because our 2019 Passport with 11,000 miles won’t move due to a major transmission failure.
Dash says “transmission problem, see manual”. The manual says nothing about transmission problems or what to do when transmission suddenly shifts into N at 70 mph and won’t shift back into gear.
I’m a loyal and very disappointed Honda owner stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for a tow.
Thank goodness this didn’t happen to my wife when she’s been traveling alone or in traffic.
Oh, and a heavy thunderstorm is moving in.
It’s 3 am, tow truck driver and I are soaked to the bone. Passport is at the dealership. Before we loaded the Passport onto the truck, the tow truck driver was able to get it to shift into D. I took it out for a short test drive and quickly learned the transmission is indeed in bad shape. Very erratic shifts, felt fortunate to make it back to tow truck where we proceeded to load it and haul it to dealer.
