2026 HONDA PASSPORT — Complaint #2177061
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST filed February 15, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2177061 (ODI reference 11718152) concerns a 2026 HONDA PASSPORT and was filed on February 15, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 9, 2026. The report was geocoded to Utah based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as lane departure: assist, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA PASSPORT cohort independently describe similar lane departure: assist failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2026 HONDA PASSPORT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The lane keep assist steers like a drunk person. On Interstate 15 at 75 mph, the LKAS steers into other lanes even on a straight road. At 45 mph, when going around a mild curve, it may keep going in a curve when the road straightens out, and steer towards opposing traffic. At 30 mph, when traveling through city intersections, it steers into the opposing left hand turn lane even on a straight road. This new generation of Honda LKAS should be named Lane Krash Assist. LKAS is typically too dangerous to use in traffic. LKAS makes it difficult to drive safely. Honda used to have a good LKAS, but the new generation LKAS is dangerous. I want Honda to fix my LKAS, which likely requires new software and/or new LKAS altogether.
