POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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

DT: CONSUMER GOT A RECALL LETTER IN MARCH 2004 ON THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM . HAD RECALL PROBLEM FIXED ON JULY 29, 2004. NOW, WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT REQUIRED DISTANCE AND CONTINUES ON A FEW FEET MORE WHILE DRIVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. DROVE ON A COLD DAY ,AND WHEN HE PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF, IT MADE A NOISE LIKE A FAN BLOWING. TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY FIXED THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT RIGHT. GAVE THE DEALER $200.00 TO REPLACE REAR ROTORS, AND ALL THEY DID WAS PUT NEW PADS ON OLD ROTORS. *AK CONSUMER STATES NEW PADS WITH THE OLD ROTORS MADE HIM RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. *TT

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THIS CAR BURNS OIL AT A VERY FAST RATE, WITH NO SIGN OF LEAKS, ETC. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY CAN'T FIND SOURCE. I HAVE TO CHECK OIL LEVEL AND USUALLY REPLACE EACH WEEK - I DRIVE ABOUT 150 MILES WEEKLY. SEEMS VERY EXCESSIVE TO ME, ESPECIALLY W/ NO SUGGESTION ON HOW TO FIX. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER A YEAR OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE, STARTED STALLING OUT EVEN WHILE DRIVING (AUTOMATIC TRANS). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE MANIFOLD GASKET NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WANTS OVER $600 TO DO SO. I CAN'T AFFORD IT YET, SO I'M DEALING WITH THE STALLING UNTIL I CAN PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, BUT I'M WARY OF IT BECAUSE I'VE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THE DEFECT IS REPETITIVE IN THIS VEHICLE. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, BRAKES FAILED OR SHUDDERED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. FINALLY ABS LIGHT WENT ON AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THIS MEANS THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS NO LONGER WORKING - HAVE HAD NO BRAKING PROBLEMS SINCE. DEALER SAYS IT'S A REAR SWITCH THAT'S OUT, AND WANTS OVER $200 TO REPLACE, BUT I HAVEN'T FIXED IT SINCE RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ABS SYSTEM IS FAULTY ANYWAY. HAVE A DAUGHTER I DON'T WANT INJURED IN A CRASH DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. *NM

APPROX 6 MO AFTER PURCHASE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. SHOWS EMPTY W/ BLINKING LIGHT AT ALL TIMES, AND I MUST RECORD MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL-UPS SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. HAVEN'T REPAIRED AS RESEARCH SHOWS THIS WILL COST OVER $600 AND USUALLY FAILS AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM - SHOULD BE RECALLED. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
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
