Need to know if others are having a similar issue. I have ~4500 miles on my 2019 Passport Elite.
Been to the dealer and they said this could be a 'normal characteristic' of the transmission. Would like to see if others are having similar issues.
To replicate put the car is Sport mode then manual shift. Get to 45 mph then shift back and forth from 7-8th gear. My car produces a buzzing noise similar to going over rumble strips. It is worrisome as it seems to be getting louder over time.

Has the dealer take out another Passport and they said it made the same noise. I have never heard a noise like this from any other car I have driven.
Please try and replicate, so I can build a case. I am about to go test drive other Passports to see for myself.

The words could be describe nothing. The experience tells the tale. Can they replicate the action with another vehicle? If not then is not.

I've been having this issue with my Passport Elite and it drives me nuts. I notice it between 45-55 MPH but most often it happens when I let off the gas around 45 MPH. The dealer looked at this and test drove it and compared to other Passports and said they did not experience any issues, however I don't know for certain they reproduced the sound. It almost sounds like a spiring uncoiling when it happens in mine. I have also noticed it seems to happen more frequently and is louder when it is warmer.

Same here. I have posted a same thread awhile ago.

This happens especially in 45-50 mph range when sudden acceleration is needed.

Glad to know there are others out there.
Mine is specifically when going from 7th to 8th gear. And it happens every single time. The spring noise is a pretty good way of describing it. I now just say my car is farting...
Someone at Honda Financial contacted me about another issue and said it could be related to cylinders shutting down?!? No idea on this though.

Also when it's in outdoor temp is below 50. I always hear some noise shifting in low 20s when the car is not warmed up..
