SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK
MY ABS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND IT HAS BEEN INTO THE HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD A TO USE MY BRAKES IN A QUICK MANNER AND HAVE FOUND THAT THEY LOCK UP. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. I FOUND A RECALL ON THE SAFETY ALERTS THAT SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 98 HONDA PASSPORT. I TOOK THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER (021002001) CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF THIS RECALL. I TRIED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING EITHER. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING IN THEIR BULLETINS REGARDING ABS. MY CONCERN IS I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE ABS, I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION YET NO ONE CAN FIND THIS CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 021002001 LINKED TO MY HONDA PASSPORT. IF THERE IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE PLEASE CONTACT ME. DT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT ANOTHER (AS THE DEALER PUTS IT) "COMMON DEFECT" WITH MY PASSPORT. IN ADDITION TO THE VALVE TRAIN PREMATURE WEAR, THIS ENGINE ALSO HAS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION. OIL CONSUMPTION IS SPORADIC, BUT CAN EXCEED MORE THAN TWO QUARTS PER 1000 MILES DRIVEN. OIL CONSUMPTION OCCURS REGARDLESS OF DRIVING CONDITIONS OR LOAD ON VEHICLE. IN COMBINATION WITH NO DASH WARNING, THE OIL CONSUMPTION CAN LEAD TO ENGINE FAILURE WITHIN THE REGULAR OIL CHANGE INTERVAL. ENGINE FAILURE REPLACEMENT AT OVER 10,000 DOLLARS PER DEALERSHIP. NO EXTERNAL SIGNS OF OIL CONSUMPTION AT THE VEHICLE'S REAR. *MR *PH *NLM **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768007

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
THE INCIDENT DATED 12/21/01 OCCURED AS THE VEHICLE EXITED OFF THE FREEWAY IN SAN PEDRO, CA. MY BROTHER WAS DRIVING AND WAS AWARE OF THE PREVIOUS BRAKE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE OCCURRED IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THE VEHICLE FOLLOWED THE OFFRAMP AT 25 MPH. WE HAD AMPLE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE US AND THE CAR IN FRONT. AS THE CAR CAME TO A SLOW DOWN, MY BROTHER STEPPED ON THE BRAKES BUT THEY DID NOT WORK. THERE WAS A RUMBLING SOUND AS THE TIRES KEPT ROTATING. HE VEERED OVER TO THE LANE TO OUR LEFT SO AS NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SLIDE ABOUT 10 MORE FEET ON ITS OWN UNTIL MY BROTHER PULLED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AS THIS WAS HAPPENING AN 18 WHEELER TRUCK WAS APPROACHING FROM BEHIND US. FORTUNATELY HE WAS ABLE TO STOP, THE SCREECHING OF HIS BRAKES WAS LOUD, AND ALTHOUGH OUR BUMPERS WERE TOUCHING NO ONE OR NO VEHCILE WAS DAMAGED. THE OTHER TWO INCIDENTS OF THE BRAKES LOCKING UP ALSO OCCURED IN RAINY CONDITIONS. THE FIRST HAPPENING ON THE DAY I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, FORTUNATELY NO OTHER CAR WAS IN FRONT OF ME OR FOR SURE I WOULD HVAE DEFINITELY HAD REAR END COLLISIONS AS MY VEHICLE SLID ABOUT 2 FEET AFTER THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED. ALSO, IN VERY HOT TEMPERATURES (90-100 DEGREES) THE BRAKES WHEN PRESSED MAKE THE VEHICLE RUMBLE LOUDLY TO THE POINT WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SHAKES FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. THE OTHER ONGOING PROBLEM HAS BEEN THE SCREECHING AND SQUEALING OF THE BRAKES FROM THE DAY THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *AK
