SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT'S ABS LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED AFTER IT'S SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT DIAGNOSTIC CODES REQUIRE THE MAIN ABS COMPUTER MODULE TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE LIGHT IS LIT, THE ABS SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE LIGHT OCCAISIONALLY DOES GO OFF AFTER SELF DIAGONOSTICS, ABOUT 2% OF THE TIME. HONDA CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH ISUZU INDICATES THAT THEIR RODEO, WHICH IS THE SAME VEHICLE AND MODEL YEAR DOES HAVE A VOLUNTARY RECALL IN PLACE FOR FAULTY ABS MODULE, WHICH ALTHOUHG IT APPEARS UNRELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, WOULD ALSO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AS THE ABS MODULE IS REPLACED IN THIS SAFETY CAMPAIGN.

THIS IS THE THIRD HONDA I HAVE OWNED, BUT THE ONLY ONE WITH PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TWO HAD OVER 300,000 MILES COMBINED....NO PROBLEMS. THIS REALLY ISN'T EVEN A HONDA, IT IS AN ISUZU. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT ALL PARTS INSIDE AND OUT WERE MADE BY HONDA AND THAT ISUZU SUPPLIED ONLY THE SEATBELTS AND THE ACTUAL CAR FRAME. I HAVE HAD THE A/C BLOWER REPLACED TWO TIMES, THE FIRST TIME WAS UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT, THE CD PLAYER STOPPED WORKING AND THEN THE CAR STARTED EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. WHEN I TURNED ON THE BLINKER, THE A/C WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE AUTO TRANSM. SPENT OVER $150 PLUS COST OF RENTAL CAR AND HONDA SAID THE PROBL. WAS WITH THE TRAILER HITCH. I DID NOT PAY FOR REPAIR...THEY WANTED OVER $600...HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR WAS GIVEN BACK, MYSTERIOUSLY THE CD PLAYER BEGAIN WORKING AND SO DID THE A/C...CHECKED AND THEY REPLACED THE BLOWER (ALTHOUGH THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING) AS SOON AS I PICKED UP THE CAR...NO MORE PROBLEMS DURING THAT TIME. A YEAR LATER (NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY) THE A/C BLOWER WORKS INTERMITTENLY, THE TRANSMISSION TODAY JUST STARTED TO MANUALLY SHIFT ITSELF FROM 2 TO 3RD GEAR AND MAKES A HARD CLUNKING SOUND. A FEW MONTHS AGO, IT WAS SHIFTING ITSELF FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL OR LOW AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. ALSO, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS INOPERABLE...THE TANK REGISTERS EMPTY AND THE LIGHT FLASHES CONSTANTLY. HEARD THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR ISUZU RODEOS AND PASSPORTS. I EVEN WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS A 99 RODEO AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS, BUT HIS FUEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT WHILE HE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE HONDA DEALER DOWN HERE WANTS OVER $600 FOR REPAIR. I FEEL MISLEAD. I PURCHASED HONDA DUE TO SUCCESS ON MY OTHER TWO HONDAS. I COULD HAVE SAVED OVER $10,000 AND PURCHASED AN ISUZU RODEO, BUT I THOUGHT BY PURCHASING A HONDA, I WAS GETTING A RELIABLE SUV. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA/ISUZU AGAIN...I HAVE GOTTEN NO SUPPORT FROM THE HONDA DEALERS. TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS MODEL!

AFTER JUST PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM MY PARENTS DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A "KNOCKING" SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY VEHICLE. AT REGULAR IDLE SPEEDS THIS SOUND COULD NOT BE HEARD. AFTER CHECKING THE OIL IT WAS FOUND TO BE 4.25 QUARTS LOW. THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND AFTER ADDING OIL BACK TO THE ENGINE, THE KNOCKING SOUND STILL CONTINUES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AT SERVICE INTERVALS WELL WITHIN THE DOCUMENTED RECCOMENDATIONS OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE SERVICE HAS BEEN COMPLETED AT THE DEALERSHIP.*AKI

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
WAS COASTING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. APPLIED BRAKES ON A ROUGH SURFACE AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO BRING VEHICLE TO A STOP. HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HALT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP EVEN AFTER TRYING TO RE-APPLY THE BRAKES. \ HAD TO SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND RESTART THEN THE BRAKES STARTED TO WORK AGAIN. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND MECHANCS STATED THAT IT WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION WHEN DRIVING OVER A ROUGH SURFACE FOR THE TIRES TO UNLOCK AS PART OF THE ABS SYSTEM. DEALER DROVE WITH ME TO A GRAVEL PARKING AREA AND SPED VEHICLE AND STEPPED ON BRAKES AND IT DID TO HIM WHAT IT DID TO ME. HE STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES THIS YEAR ALONE AND CONTINUES TO SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ME WHEN IT HAPPENS. 2 TIMES ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BUMP ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM BEHIND BUT USED EMERGENCY BREAK TO HALT VEHICLE. *AK
