FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
YOUR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN #202, OF FEB 16, 2002, EXPLAINS A PROBLEM I HAVE WITH MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT, WHERE THE FUEL GAUGE READS AN EMPTY OR LOW FUEL WARNING, EVEN WHEN IT IS NOT IN DANGER OF BEING EMPTY. THE CORRECTION WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $500.00. THIS IS AN OUTRAGEOUS CONDITION AND REPAIR TO REQUIRE THE OWNER TO COVER, WHEN IT IS OBVIOUS IT WAS A DEFECT WHEN MANUFACTURED. PLEASE HELP TO CORRECT MANUFACTURER OVER SIGHTS LIKE THIS WHEN SELLING A LONG-TERM ITEM LIKE A CAR OR TRUCK. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY VEHICLE OTHERWISE, AND WOULD HATE TO HELP BLEMISH THE REPUTATION OF HONDA AND IT'S PRODUCTS. BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A FAILURE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE HAD NOT GIVEN ACCURATE READING FOR 5-6 MONTHS. USED HONDA REPAIR FACILITY'S SUGGESTION OF GAS TANK CLEANING TO ELIMINATE THAT POSSIBILITY FOR CAUSE OF START FAILURE. WITHIN THE SAME TANK FULL OF GAS, CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T RESTART. REPAIR FACILITY FINALLY DETERMINED ECU AND FUEL PUMP TO BE THE CAUSE. SEEMS THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, AND ONLY INFORMED PEOPLE SEARCH OUT FORUMS LIKE THIS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM.*JB

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
AUTO TRANSMISSION MAKES HARD KNOCKING SOUND ON SHIFTING THAT MAKES THE CAR JERK AND SHUTTER. IT'S SO VIOLENT THAT PEOPLE IN OTHER CARS NOTICE AND PASSENGERS IN MY CAR GET SCARED. THIS STARTED AT 50,000 MILES, HAS BEEN IN TWO SHOPS, FOR ALMOST 15 DAYS AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT ALWAYS BE DUPLICATED AT THE SHOP. *NLM
