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.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
THE FUSE FOR THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS BLOWS ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS (USUALLY WITHIN 4-30 DAYS). THE FAILURE DISABLES THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE ALARM SYSTEM, KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM AND "ALARM PANIC BUTTON" FEATURE. VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY A FEMALE (MY WIFE). KEYLESS/ALARM WERE MANDATORY SAFETY FEATURES THAT WE REQUIRED FOR VEHICLE PURCHASE (STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON THIS MODEL). VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN 7 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. HONDA HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REPAIR. HONDA HAS REPLACED MASTER DOOR LOCK SWITCH AND FOUND/REPAIRED A WIRING HARNESS DEFECT. PROBLEM CONTINUES UNCORRECTED (KEYLESS AND ALARM SYSTEM ARE THEREFORE NOT RELIABLE). HONDA HAS ADDED 12 OR MORE ADDITIONAL FUSES TO THE VEHICLE THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
