MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT IS CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTO TRANSMISSION. FROM A COLD START THE SUV WILL INTERMITTENTLY SHIFT HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE POWER COSTA MESA HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE 5 TIMES. THEY HAD NO WAY OF DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM AS THE SUV WOULD DO THIS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. FINALLY, AFTER ONE DAY OF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC I FOUND A WAY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD PLACED IT INTO 1ST GEAR (LOW) THE SUV SHIFTED INTO 2ND! I AM NO MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I WAS DRIVING IN 2ND WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REALIZED OH I NEED TO BE IN 1ST! SO I TOOK THE SUV BACK TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED A FAA MOTOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. PART NUMBER: 8-96041-156-0, THE PART WAS 400 DOLLARS AND ABOUT 200 LABOR. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED FOR A MONTH NOW CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL NOT SHIFT FROM LOW TO SECOND. NOW THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE RANGE SELECTOR SWITCH PART NUMBER: 8-96017-511-0 FOR $147.32 (PART ONLY). *LA

IN FEBRUARY 2002 VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. DRIVER TAPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A SPIN. THEN, VEHICLE HIT A CLIFF, AND ROLLED ONTO THE LEFT SIDE. CONSUMER RECEIVED A SAFETY CAMPAIGN LETTER, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. CONSUMER SUSPECTED THAT ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE COLLISION. *AK

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS SOON AS AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR AT 30 MPH, I EXPERIENCE SUCH A VIOLENT, HARD JERK THAT IT IS ACTUALLY SEEN BY PEOPLE IN OTHER VEHICLES. THIS JERK CREATES A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE ALSO THAT CAN BE HEARD BY PEOPLE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS SAME JERKING IS EXPERIENCED WHEN DECREASING SPEED TO COME TO A STOP, AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED, I ONLY HAVE 29600 MILES VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HONDA COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THEREFORE DID NOTHING. IT SCARES ME, AND MY CHILD BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A JOLTING VIOLENT MOVEMENT. *LA

WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND MAKING A LEFT INTO AN INTERSECTION DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES AND CONSUMER'S VEHICLE SKIDDED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, CAUSING A COLLISION.

THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT HONDA DEALER IT WAS FOR THE RECALL OF 7/2003 REGARDING THE CHANGING OF THE ABS SYSTEM AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE WE HAD THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND THE BRAKES ENGAGING ON DRY PAYMENT. NOW THEY TELL US THAT THE WIRE HARNESS UNDER THE TRUCK IS BROKEN AND MAKING THE ABS SYSTEM COME ON . THJIS REPAIR WILL COST CLOSE TO 300.00 DOLLARS TO FIX.

AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE CONSUMER PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. *AK *SCC *NLM

VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT, AND TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. *AK *JB

THE FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY ON MY VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED FOR OVER 60,000 MILES AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT SERVICED BECAUSE THE DEALER WANTS $700 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL BE USING THE EXACT SAME PARTS THAT MIGHT FAIL AGAIN.

YOUR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #202, OF FEB 16, 2002, EXPLAINS A PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT, WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE READS AN EMPTY OR LOW FUEL WARNING, EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT IN DANGER OF BEING EMPTY. THE CORRECTION WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $500.00. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS CONDITION AND REPAIR TO REQUIRE THE OWNER TO COVER, WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS IT WAS A DEFECT WHEN MANUFACTURED. PLEASE HELP TO CORRECT MANUFACTURER OVER SIGHTS LIKE THIS WHEN SELLING A LONG-TERM ITEM LIKE A CAR OR TRUCK. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY VEHICLE OTHERWISE, AND WOULD HATE TO HELP BLEMISH THE REPUTATION OF HONDA AND IT'S PRODUCTS. BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FAILURE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *JB

THE ENGINE CONSUMED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL, THE MANUFACTURER STATED IT WAS NORMAL. *JB

FUEL GAUGE HAD NOT GIVEN ACCURATE READING FOR 5-6 MONTHS. USED HONDA REPAIR FACILITY'S SUGGESTION OF GAS TANK CLEANING TO ELIMINATE THAT POSSIBILITY FOR CAUSE OF START FAILURE. WITHIN THE SAME TANK FULL OF GAS, CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. REPAIR FACILITY FINALLY DETERMINED ECU AND FUEL PUMP TO BE THE CAUSE. SEEMS THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, AND ONLY INFORMED PEOPLE SEARCH OUT FORUMS LIKE THIS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM.*JB

THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED, DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. *JB

AUTO TRANSMISSION MAKES HARD KNOCKING SOUND ON SHIFTING THAT MAKES THE CAR JERK AND SHUTTER. IT'S SO VIOLENT THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER CARS NOTICE AND PASSENGERS IN MY CAR GET SCARED. THIS STARTED AT 50,000 MILES, HAS BEEN IN TWO SHOPS, FOR ALMOST 15 DAYS AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT ALWAYS BE DUPLICATED AT THE SHOP. *NLM

HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM WITH OIL CONSUMPTION AND BLAMES FAILURE ON OIL DEPRIVATION (LACK OF MAINTENANCE) EVEN THOUGH OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS AND WITNESSES TO LAST 3000 MI. OIL ADDS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER HONDA PRODUCT, EVEN IF IT IS BUILT BY THEM! *NLM

MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT'S ABS LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED AFTER IT'S SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC CODES REQUIRE THE MAIN ABS COMPUTER MODULE TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE LIGHT IS LIT, THE ABS SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE LIGHT OCCAISIONALLY DOES GO OFF AFTER SELF DIAGONOSTICS, ABOUT 2% OF THE TIME. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH ISUZU INDICATES THAT THEIR RODEO, WHICH IS THE SAME VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR DOES HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN PLACE FOR FAULTY ABS MODULE, WHICH ALTHOUHG IT APPEARS UNRELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, WOULD ALSO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS THE ABS MODULE IS REPLACED IN THIS SAFETY CAMPAIGN.

FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM: FUEL GAUGE FREQUENTLY HAS BEGUN TO DROP TO A READING OF ZERO WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING BUT RUNNING. THE RESERVE LIGHT WILL BLINK AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT SHOW ANY FUEL READING UNTIL THE CAR BEGINS MOVING AGAIN. IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE A CORRECT READING IS SHOWN. INTAKE MANIFOLD SYSTEM FAILURE: DATE AND MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATED, WILL LOCATE RECORDS WITH EXACT DATE AND MILEAGE. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS WERE REPORTED AS "CRACKED" BY THE DEALER AND REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF $400 (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AND STALLED PRIOR TO REPAIR. TSB FROM HONDA IS AVAILABLE.

THIS IS THE THIRD HONDA I HAVE OWNED, BUT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TWO HAD OVER 300,000 MILES COMBINED....NO PROBLEMS. THIS REALLY ISN'T EVEN A HONDA, IT IS AN ISUZU. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL PARTS INSIDE AND OUT WERE MADE BY HONDA AND THAT ISUZU SUPPLIED ONLY THE SEATBELTS AND THE ACTUAL CAR FRAME. I HAVE HAD THE A/C BLOWER REPLACED TWO TIMES, THE FIRST TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN I TURNED ON THE BLINKER, THE A/C WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE AUTO TRANSM. SPENT OVER $150 PLUS COST OF RENTAL CAR AND HONDA SAID THE PROBL. WAS WITH THE TRAILER HITCH. I DID NOT PAY FOR REPAIR...THEY WANTED OVER $600...HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR WAS GIVEN BACK, MYSTERIOUSLY THE CD PLAYER BEGAIN WORKING AND SO DID THE A/C...CHECKED AND THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER (ALTHOUGH THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING) AS SOON AS I PICKED UP THE CAR...NO MORE PROBLEMS DURING THAT TIME. A YEAR LATER (NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) THE A/C BLOWER WORKS INTERMITTENLY, THE TRANSMISSION TODAY JUST STARTED TO MANUALLY SHIFT ITSELF FROM 2 TO 3RD GEAR AND MAKES A HARD CLUNKING SOUND. A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT WAS SHIFTING ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR LOW AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. ALSO, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS INOPERABLE...THE TANK REGISTERS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY. HEARD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ISUZU RODEOS AND PASSPORTS. I EVEN WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS A 99 RODEO AND

WHILE DRIVING ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT BRAKES WILL LOCK UP, AND IT WILL BE HARD TO CONTROL VEHICLE. DEALER NOTIFIED.*AK
