  NOTICED THAT FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE IT WENT EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A TANK FULL OF GAS. I DID SOME INTERNET RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A DEFECTIVE 'FUEL SENDING UNIT'. IT AFFECTS HONDA PASSPORTS AND ISUZU RODEO VEHICLES . MY SUV HONDA PASSPORT FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING DUE TO BAD FLOAT CHAMBER ON THE PUMP COMPONENT HAS MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. MY FUEL GAUGE HAS STARTED FLUCTUATING WILDLY. THE MOST COMMON THING THOUGH, IS THAT IT READS OUT OF GAS SHORTLY AFTER A FILL UP. THIS IS THE SAME MODEL AS AN ISUZU RODEO AND THE PROBLEMS ARE DUPLICATED THERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE A RECALL HAPPENS AND THAT IT COVERS THE HONDAS AS WELL. *TR

  NORMAL DRIVING OF MY 1999 HONDA ODYSSEY AND AT 107,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION FAILS. HONDA REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT CHARGED ME THE LABOR EVEN THOUGH THERE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES HAD EXPIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW I HAD A TRANSMISSION COOLER INSTALLED, WHICH I BELIEVE EXTENDED ITS LIFE. I BELIEVE HONDA HAS SURPRESSED A DRECALL ON THIS TRANSMISSION AND IS PASSING THE INSTALLATION LABOR ON TO THE CONSUMER. THEREFORE, I DO NOT BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING.*AK

I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND EXTREMELY UPSET FOR I PUT ALL MY MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE A RELIABLE TRUCK AT SCHOOL. NOW I AM UP A CREEK, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING 2 JOBS DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE NO TRUCK.

  AFTER A MAJOR SERVICE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE PERFORMED BY MOSES HONDA, 6018 U.S. 60 RT. EAST OF BARBOURSVILLE, I NOTICED A SEVERE DEPLETION OF BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MOSES AUTO SERVICE AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD A TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY ADDED BRAKE FLUID. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED MORE ATTENTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON MY NEXT SERVICE DATE. AFTER MY NEXT SERVICE DATE NO MENTION OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED. ON NOVEMBER 23, 2004 I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT. 60 AND PASSED THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT EXIT 15 I-64 AND WAS CONFRONTED BY A GRAY VAN SUDDENLY STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY THRUST MY FOOT ON MY BRAKES, TO NO AVAIL. I SUBSEQUENTLY COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAGS, SMOKE AND NOISE. THERE WAS A CABELL COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF NEAR THE SCENE WHO DID THE REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION. LATER THAT SAME DAY I ONCE AGAIN PASSED THROUGH THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND DISCOVERED NO TIRE SKID MARKS. THIS HAS AROUSED MY SUSPICION ABOUT THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE IS STORED AT PAUL'S GARAGE. 6141 CHILDERS RD. BARBOURSVILLE, WV PH.304-736-4531. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE FOR BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE REPAIRS BEGIN. THANK YOU, JAMES H. PARSONS

• 11/23/2003· POWER TRAIN

  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

• 11/22/2005· POWER TRAIN

  I HAVE OWNED THE 1999 HONDA PASSPORT FOR 3 YEARS. AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, THE SUV WOULD SHIFT HARD FORM THE LOWER GEAR TO FIRST. SO HARD IF FACT, THAT OTHERS IN CARS NEARBY NOTICED. RECENTLY, THE SUV WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING DURING ACCELERATION. AT FIRST IT WAS SLIP, BUT QUICKLY WORSENED. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM A HIGHER GEAR DOWN (ESPECIALLY ON TURNS) THE GEAR SEEMS TO SLIP AND THERE IS A JOLT. I TOOK THE SUV TO BE DIAGNOSED. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL DAYS FOR DIAGNOSIS. FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT, PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. THEN IT WAS THE TYPE OF OIL IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. WENT AWAY FOR A DAY, THEN RETURNED. FINALLY, HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I SPENT OVER $4000 ON THESE REPAIRS AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JB

• 11/21/2002· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLINGCrash

  CONSUMER STATES THAT INTERMITTENLY WHEN DRIVING AND DECELERATING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW DOWN, BUT ONCE STOPS WILL "LURCH" FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING COLLISIONS WITH OTHER CARS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. TS

• 11/16/2000· SUSPENSION

  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

• 11/13/2001· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

  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

• 11/11/2011· SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE

  MY LOCAL LAS VEGAS HONDA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY VEHICLE FOR A RECALL RELATED TO: THE FORWARD MOUNTING POINT BRACKET FOR THE LEFT OR RIGHT REAR SUSPENSION LOWER LINK MAY EXPERIENCE EXCESSIVE CORROSION. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP REPLACED NO PARTS, AND SIMPLY TREATED THE AREA WITH AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COMPOUND. THREE WEEKS LATER, MY AUTO MECHANIC TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR DRIVING DUE TO THE FRAME HAVING ROTTED AWAY ENTIRELY IN PLACES. HE WAS ABLE TO POKE HOLES IN THE REMAINING FRAME WITH HIS FINGER BECAUSE THE STEEL WAS RUSTED THROUGH SO BADLY. MY MECHANIC INDICATED THAT I SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE JUNKYARD IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, THE ENGINE, DRIVE TRAIN, INTERIOR, AND BODY ARE ALL IN GOOD OR EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND/OR INFERIOR THE FRAME MATERIALS USED BY HONDA. MY DEALERSHIP SENT ME ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A CLEARLY UNSAFE VEHICLE! *TR

  WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE OVER BUMPS OR ROUGH PATCHES OF THE ROAD AT 35-40MPH, WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. BEEN TO DEALER & MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE VIBRATION. ALSO,DURING WINTER WET SLICK ROADS THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE OUT OF CONTROL.*AK

• 11/09/2004· POWER TRAIN

  IN MY SECOND YEAR OF OWNING MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT, I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A JARRING JOLT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP IMTERMITTANTLY. NOW, ABOUT A YEAR LATER, THIS HAS GROWN TO A VIOLENT BANGING JOLT WHEN ACCELERATING, AND A FULL SLIPPING BETWEEN GEARS AS I PROCEED. THIS GREW WORSE VERY FAST, AND NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AT A COST OF OVER $4,000.00, ACCORDING TO BELL ROAD HONDA IN PHOENIX. I'M AT A LOSS, AND NEED HELP.*AK

• 11/06/2000· SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULICCrash

  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
