ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I HAVE A 1995 HONDA PASSPORT WITH A NOTICABLE CLICKING OR TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE EXAUSTIVE RESEARCH WITH OTHER OWNERS THROUGH THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THIS ENGINE DEFECT. THERE ARE SIMPLY TOO MANY OTHER PASSPORT DRIVERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A BULLETIN FROM HONDA ABOUT THE CLICKING BUT NO RECALL. I AM FORTY YEARS OLD AND HAVE NEVER HAD TO ISSUE A COMPLAINT LIKE THIS. I JUST HAVE A TRUE GUT FEELING THAT THIS DEFECT IS FOR REAL. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER SUCH NOTICES FROM CONSUMERS. MOST I ASSUME DO NOT REALIZE THE NHTSA IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I AM GOING TO GET SOME RELIEF ON THIS MATTER. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. RESPECTFULLY, CLIFTON DAVIS

#726788August 6, 2000
STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:LOCK
THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS; IT COMES UP HALFWAY BUT DOES NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE ENTRY. IT IS NECESSARY TO PULL UP THE INSIDE DOOR LOCK ALL THE WAY TO ALLOW ACESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM (ACTIVATED BY THE DRIVER'S DOOR) ACTIVATES BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS BUT NOT THE LEFT REAR DOOR. ALSO, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. THE STARTER ENGAGES BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT FIRE. ON THE SECOND TRY, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL START. ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES START WITH "ONE CLICK"; REQUIRING ONLY MINIMAL CRANKING. THE ENGINE, A 3.2 LITER V-6, MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN RUNNING; ALMOST LIKE A SUBDUED DIESEL ENGINE. *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE LIFTERS IS QUITE EXTENSIVE THROUGHOUT THE US. WHY HASN'T ANYTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS? SHOULDN'T THE MANUFACTURER HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF THIS REPAIR? IT SET ME BACK $4,100.00. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK, IT BEGAN TO PULL BACK AS IF I HAD THE E-BRAKE ON, WHICH I DID NOT. I TOOK IT INTO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MILEAGE IS SO LOW THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS DARK & BURNT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR ONLY 2MONTHS SO HOW COULD THAT BE OUR FAULT IF THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR SAFETY CHECK PROPERLY ON THE CAR. THIS IS A DEFECT ON THE PART OF THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT AT (STAR FORD) AS IS THE FAULT OF THE HONDA DEALER. *AK

#712216September 27, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
AT APPROXIMATELY 40000 MILES THE ENGINE STARTED TO USE AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. IT NOW TAKES AN ADDITIONAL 1.5 - 2 QTS EVERY 3000 MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS NOT NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A CAR THAT USED OIL LIKE THIS. I BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VALVE GUIDES OR PISTON RINGS.
