Problem overview

Some Honda Passport owners report experiencing starting issues after a shifting problem, often accompanied by a whining engine and non-moving belts. These owners have identified several potential causes, including a dead or weak battery that prevents the vehicle from turning over. Additionally, some have encountered failed starters, which are common culprits for starting failures. Issues with the alternator can also contribute to these problems. Furthermore, ignition troubles may lead to the engine cranking without starting, particularly if there is a lack of spark. Lastly, a malfunctioning starter motor can result in the engine not starting at all, often accompanied by a clicking sound. It is crucial for owners facing these symptoms to consult a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and resolution of the underlying issues.
