Far fewer RisingNHTSA has received 63 owner complaints about the 2022 Honda Passport, or 13.2 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical (complaint index 0.33, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 92 model-year 2022 vehicles we track, it ranks #31 of 92 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest). Against other Honda models its rate is 81% lower; against other Midsize SUVs it is 75% lower.
