1999 Honda Passport complaints

AFTER VEHICHLE COOLS DOWN AND I GO TO START THE CAR AND SHIFT DOWN TO DRIVE THE TRANSMISSION SKIPS DOWN TO L GEAR AND WHEN I TRY TO TAKE IT BACK UP TO THE D POSITION IT WILL TAKE THAT GEAR BUT WHEN I TAKE OFF THE CAR KNOCKS REALLY HARD WHEN IT TRIES TO SHIFT GEARS AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP AND IT TRIES TO SHIFT DOWN IT ALSO DOES A HARD KNOCKING.*AK

THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN STARTING THE CAR, AND A LOUND WINDING SOUND CAME OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE ABS MOTOR WAS CONTINUING TO RUN, EVEN WITH THE CAR TURNED OFF. I HAD TO DISCONNECT IT TO GET IT STOP SO I COULD TAKE IT TO THE SHOP. THE COST OF GETTING IT FIXED WAS $1750, WHICH WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.*AK

AFTER JUST PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A "KNOCKING" SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY VEHICLE. AT REGULAR IDLE SPEEDS THIS SOUND COULD NOT BE HEARD. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL IT WAS FOUND TO BE 4.25 QUARTS LOW. THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND AFTER ADDING OIL BACK TO THE ENGINE, THE KNOCKING SOUND STILL CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT SERVICE INTERVALS WELL WITHIN THE DOCUMENTED RECCOMENDATIONS OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP.*AKI

THE ABS SENSOR ON THE CAR HAS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS HAS ALSO OCCURRED TO 14 OTHER PEOPLE. NUMEROUS OTHERS AHVE COMPLAINED ABOUT ABNORMAL BRAKING MODULATIONS, AND SENSATIONS WHILE BRAKING. INCLUDING THAT THE BRAKES SKIPPING.*AK

GAS GAUGE ON THE CAR HAS MALFUNCTIONED. THE PROBLEM HAS ALSO OCCURRED TO 6 OTHER PEOPLE. THE NEEDLE WILL ALWAYS SHOW EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT FLASHING.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE HIGHER THAT 40MPH, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON , AND IT HAD A ROUGH IDLE.

ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING, AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE ABS PUMP KEPT RUNNING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY DEALER.*AK

ABS SYSTEM PUMP WAS CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WITH KEYS REMOVED FROM IGNITION. PUMP WAS EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH AND HAD TO BE DISABLED BY REMOVING THE ABS SYSTEM FUSE. ABS SYSTEM FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON AND IS STILL ON. NO PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE SYSTEM PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE. CAR WAS SERVICED FOR EXHAUST PIPE REPLACEMENT 1 DAY PRIOR TO ABS SYSTEM FAILURE. *AK

WAS COASTING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. APPLIED BRAKES ON A ROUGH SURFACE AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HALT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RE-APPLY THE BRAKES. \ HAD TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART THEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND MECHANCS STATED THAT IT WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION WHEN DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE FOR THE TIRES TO UNLOCK AS PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM. DEALER DROVE WITH ME TO A GRAVEL PARKING AREA AND SPED VEHICLE AND STEPPED ON BRAKES AND IT DID TO HIM WHAT IT DID TO ME. HE STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE AND CONTINUES TO SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. 2 TIMES ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BUMP ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND BUT USED EMERGENCY BREAK TO HALT VEHICLE. *AK

LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON. WHEN I CHECKED OIL, 4 QUARTS LOW. VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN 4000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. CONTACTED DEALER WHO CHANGED OIL/FILTER AND HAS INITIATED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. NO VISIBLE LEAKS. SINCE MONITORING, VEHICLE HAS CONSUMED 1/2 QUART OIL IN 400 MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT AN ENGINE DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON,. THEN ABS MOTOR STARTED TO MAKE A HIGH PITCH NOISE AND CONTINUED ON, EVEN AFTER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. CONSUMER HAD TO DISCONNECT BATTERY TO TURN OFF ABS MOTOR. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *YH

ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING, BACK TIRES LOCKED UP, AND VEHICLE STARTED TO SWING FROM SIDE TO SIDE BEFORE CONSUMER REGAINED CONTROL. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER NOTED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT STILL WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. *AK

VEHICLES ABS SYSTEM SEEMS TO ACTIVATE AT VERY LOW SPPEDS THUS RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE, BRAKING BECOMES POOR, VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL AT LOW SPEEDS WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED AND WHILE ON DRY PAVEMENT. *JG

WE REAR-ENDED THE CAR INFRONT OF US BECAUSE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED WHEN THERE WAS NO REASON TO DO SO. WE WERE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION ON A HOT, CLEAR DAY, WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR INFRONT OF US MOVED INTO THE INTERSECTION, TURNING LEFT, STOPPING TO LET ONCOMING TRAFFIC PASS. I WAS PREPARED TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP TO ALLOW THE TRAFFIC TO PASS. AS I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES, WE HEARD A NOISE COME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND PROCEDED TO REAR END THE VEHICLE INFRONT OF US. UNFORTUNATELY, I ONLY CARRIED LIABILITY COVERAGE ON THE TRUCK, SO I WAS FACING HAVING A NON-OPERABLE VEHICLE OR A $3,500 BILL TO FIX THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WE MADE SEVERAL CLAIMS TO HONDA OF AMERICA, WHICH WERE PROCESSED, BUT IN THE END, THE STATED THAT THEY WOULD ASSUME NO LIABILITY (MUST HAVE STEPPED ON THE ACCELORATOR I WAS TOLD). I AM SETTING UP AN EMAIL ACCOUNT TO POOL OUR RESOURCES, INFORMATION, STORIES AND RESULTS TOGETHER. PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY LETTERS TO AND FROM HONDA OF AMERICA AT [email protected]. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR HOW OTHER PEOPLE HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. *AK

VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION AT 45MPH. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, CAUSING MINOR INJURY TO DRIVER. VEHICLE IS AT THE BODYSHOP AT THIS TIME.*AK

CONSUMER REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AT 45 MPH, SEATBELT DID NOT RESTRAIN CONSUMER. HIT HIS HEAD ON STEERING WHEEL. DAMAGE TO VEHICLE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.*AK

I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE ABS SYSTEM SINCE PURCHASE. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITNT AND GENERALLY AT SPEEDS OF LESS THAN 20 MPH ON DRY ROADS. I WOULD ESTIMATE NO FEWER THAN 25 FAILURES IN TWO YEARS WHEREIN THE BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE PROPERLY AT LOW SPEED CAUSING THE VEHICLE STOPPING DISTANCE TO BE EXCESSIVE. WHEN BRAKING, THE BRAKES OFTEN FAILED TO ENGAGE PARTICULARLY AT ROUGH INTERSECTIONS. IT FEELS AS IF THE VEHICLE SLIDES OVER THE BUMPS. NOW THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND REMAINS LIT. THE ABS UNIT ITSELF RUNS EVEN WITH THE MOTOR OFF. I HAVE REMOVED THE FUSE AND DISENGAGED THE ABS WHICH ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE SAFELY ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO ABS ACTIVE. WITH THE ABS DISENGAGED, I HAVE HAD NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND COMMON SAFETY DEFECT WITH THE 1999 PASSPORT. THERE ARE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA AND ON THE WEB WHICH INDICATE THIS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DEFECT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION AND I WOULD RECOMMEND FAST-TRACK RECALL ACTION TO AVOID ACCIDENTS RELATED TO THIS DEFECT.*AK

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

ABS MODULE WENT BAD. IT WOULD MAKE A CONSTANT MOTOR NOISE EVEN WITHOUT IGNITION ON. *AK

1 TIRE HAS A RADIAL PULL, AND 1 TIRE CAUSES VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ROTATED. THE VIBRATIONS GO AWAY WHEN THE BAD TIRES ARE ROTATED TO THE REAR. I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I DID NOT FIND ANY RECALL ON THEM AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPLACE OR PROATE THE TIRES SINCE THEY ARE WORN PAST 2/32". IS THIS TRUE, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH THE TIRE COMPANY?*AK (DOT NUMBER: Y7MT TIRESIZE: P245/70R16)

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR ABOVE VEHICLE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED VARIOUS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM, THE ROTORS FAILED CAUSING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED, THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN THE FRONT PADS.

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH OUR PASSPORT SINCE ITS PURCHASE IN 4/99. IN 2/00, WHILE DRIVING A 65MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPONTANEOUSLY WENT DUE TO A LEAK IN THE REAR AXLE OF THE CAR. OUR VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 50 DAYS DUE TO PROBLEMS OBTAINING THE CORRECT PARTS FROM ISUZU. WE HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYTEM ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS,UNEVEN AND SLICK SURFACES. IN EACH INSTANCE, ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE FIRMLY ENGAGED,THE VEHICLE EMITTED A LOUD GRINDING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CAR, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO ONE SIDE, AND THE ABS SYSTEM DID NOT IMMEDIATLEY ENGAGE.ON 11-21-00, THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE ON OUR VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLES' ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE AT A SPEED UNDER 15 MPH. THE CAR PULLED TO ONE SIDE AND WOULD NOT STOP! THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $5000 WORTH OF DAMAGE ALTHOUGH NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS A SLIGHT DENT TO THE BACK BUMPER. DURING A MAJOR SNOWSTORM IN 2-01, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE NO LONGER WORKED ON THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE MANUAL SAYS THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE COULD BE ENGAGED ON THE FLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT TRAVEL OVER 10MPH WITHOUT VIBRATING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION,THE RIDE FELT LIKE BEING IN A BULLDOZER AND WE WERE BOUNCED AROUND THE ROAD. FURTHER, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS REPAIR TOOK OVER 50 DAYS TO ACCOMPLISH

WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH BRAKES APPLIED AT TOP OF CONSUMER'S DRIVEWAY,BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, AND ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN, AND VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER 20 FEET, LEAVING SKID MARKS ON DRIVEWAY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES REGULARLY RELEASE/FAIL WHILE BRAKING AND TRAVELING OVER LARGE BUMPS. AN EXAMPLE: WHILE BRAKING DOWNHILL TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, I TRAVELED OVER A LARGE BUMP IN THE ASPHALT. THE BRAKES DISINGAGED EVEN THOUGH I WILL STILL PRESSING ON THE PEDDLE. I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT AND RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPEND TO ME FOR TIMES, AND IS WELL KNOWN AMONG LATE MODEL PASSPORT AND RODEO OWNERS.*AK

VEHICLE PULLS SEVERLY TO RIGHT , MAKING VEHICLE HARD TO MANAGE ON ROAD. DELAER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THIS HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONCE, BUT THAT HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM.*AK

MY ABS BRAKES FAILED WHEN I WAS PULLING UP TO A RED LIGHT IN THE RAIN CAUSING ME TO REAR-END ANOTHER DRIVER. THE APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS LESS THAN 20 MPH, AND MY PASSPORT PULLED TO THE RIGHT AS I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BLINKING PRIOR TO IMPACT AFTER I HAD STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, AND WENT SOLID AFTER I HIT THE OTHER DRIVER. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO HAS BEEN SERVICING MY VEHICLES FOR OVER 4 YEARS. THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT, AND WAS CAUSED BY THE MASTER CYLINDER RESETTING ITSELF. THEY FIND NO ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND SAY THERE ISN'T A DEFECT. HOWEVER, I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE ACCIDENT AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE 2 MORE TIMES WITH A PULL TO THE RIGHT. BOTH TIMES WERE ON WET ROADS IN DRIZZLE CONDITIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS GOING LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. THIS OCCURED AGAIN, SAME WEATHER CONDITIONS ON 1 NOVEMBER, AGAIN WITH THE CAR GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH AND AGAIN PULLING TO THE RIGHT. THIS SITUATION CANNOT BE REPRODUCED WHEN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE DRY, AND SOMETIMES CANNOT BE REPRODUCED IN THE RAIN EITHER. IN THE ACCIDENT OF 27 OCTOBER, THE BUMPER OF THE PASSPORT WAS DAMAGED MORE ON THE FRONT RIGHT THAN ON THE LEFT. WHICH SUPPORTS THE STICK AND SLIDE THAT I HAVE FELT EACH TIME THE BRAKES FAIL TO ENGAGE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND IF SO, WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX IT? I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR TRUST MY CAR ANYMORE WHILE DRIVING.*AK
