EQUIPMENT
THE CD PLAYER IS INTERMITTENT. IT'S NOT SKIPPING LIKE A NORMAL CD-ROM SKIP, INSTEAD WE GET AN ERROR 3 OR ERROR 1 ON THE DISPLAY. WHEN THIS OCCURS DURING A SONG THE MUSIC STOPS COMING OUT OF THE SPEAKERS BUT WHEN MUSIC DOES START UP AGAIN IT IS AT THE SAME POINT IT WOULD BE IF THE SONG WERE PLAYING. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A SONG HAS JUST STARTED AND THE SPEAKERS GO QUIET FOR 15 SECONDS, THE SONG CONTINUES FROM THAT POINT ONWARD. SOME DISKS JUST STOP AND JAM. THIS IS THE THIRD REPLACEMENT CD PLAYER WE HAVE RECEIVED FOR THIS VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 2000 HONDA PASSPORT STALLED ON ME ONE THURSDAY MORNING AND CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO FIND OUT IF THE PROBLEM IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY AMERICAN HONDA TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO BE DIAGNOSED FOR ANY MECHANICAL FAILURE AND GIVEN A CASE# FOR THIS INCIDENT. I RECEIVED A CALL THE FOLLOWING DAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH REGARDS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT'S A BROKEN TRANSMISSION SEAL THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO STALL AND I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATED WORK ORDER OF $385. I FOLLOWED UP WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND INFORMED THEM OF THE SITUATION DOWN TO ME RENTING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WHILE IT'S BEING REPAIRED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO EVALUATE THE PROBLEM AND WILL REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR IF IT FALLS WITHIN THEIR "SAID" GUIDELINES. SO I WENT AHEAD AND PAID FOR THE ORDER 2 DAYS LATER FOR $333.44 AND $13.34 OF WHICH IS THE COST OF THE PART AND THE REST IS THE DEALERSHIP'S LABOR COST (RIDICULOUS) NOT TO MENTION $27.72/DAY FOR MY CAR RENTAL FOR 2 DAYS. MONDAY CAME AND I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AMERICAN HONDA STATING THAT THEY DID A FOLLOW UP ON THE REPAIR AND THEY DECIDED THAT THE REPAIR COST WERE NOT CONSIDERED "PRE-MATURE DEFECT" THAT I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FROM AMERICAN HONDA.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA PASSPORT 2000 IN SEPTEMBER, 2000. AFTER THREE AND A HALF YEARS, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING AND THE CAR SHOOK WHILE AUTOMATICALLY CHANGING GEAR. I SENT IT TO A HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT IT STILL LEAKED AND SHOOK AFTER THE REPAIR. I THEN SENT IT TO ANOTHER TRANSMISSION SHOP. THE SHOP SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS MADE BY GM, AND THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION HAD A LONG HISTORY OF DEFECTIVENESS. IT NEEDED TO BE OVERHAULED. THIS HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER THE 3-YEAR WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED. I BOUGHT THE HONDA BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE OTHER BRAND OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, BUT HONDA PUT GMC TRANSMISSION IN THEIR CAR, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A DEFECT. NEGOTIATION IS IN PROGRESS WITH HONDA MANUFACTURE BUT UNLIKELY TO RESULT IN COMPENSATION OR RECALL. *AK

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR STOPPING. I WAS TOLD WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE I NEEDED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED. I HAD THE OPTION OF CHOOSING A USED PART FOR $700 RATHER THAN A NEW ONE FOR $4000. SINCE I AM SHORT ON CASH, I OPTED FOR THE CHEAPER. SO NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BUT NOW I NEED TO HAVE MY MANIFOLD GASKETS REPLACED.

I HAVE HAD MY PASSPORT FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND EVERY SINCE I BOUGHT IT I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I TAKE IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 3 MONTHS AND WHEN I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NEED TO ADD A QUART OF OIL. THE TRUCK IS NOT LEAKING OIL,IT NEVER SMOKES, I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE THE OIL IS GOING. I HAVE HEARD OF SIMILAR CASES AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.*AK

EQUIPMENT
WE ARE HAVING A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CORPORATION. I HAVE TAKEN MY 2000 HONDA PASSPORT IN FOR MANY VISITS AT LEAST 6. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE LAST YEAR. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.*AK THIS WEEK ALONE I WAS ALMOST HIT THREE TIMES. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY AND WAS TURNING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WAS ALMOST SLAMMED INTO. I HAVE BEEN CALLING TELLING THEM THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN MANY TIMES THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW THINGS DONE OR THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. EVERY SINGLE TIME WE GET THE CAR BACK EITHER IMMEDIATELY OR SOON THEREAFTER THE VEHICLE STARTS TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. WE SPOKE WITH THE CORPORATE OFFICE THEY TOOK DOWN THE INFORMATION HAD US BRING THE CAR IN AND THEN KEPT IT FOR A SIX DAYS. WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE CAR BEGAN TO SHUT OFF AGAIN. WE ARE IN A LEASE AGREEMENT AND AT THE END OF THE YEAR 2004 WE CAN TRY TRADE IT IN. I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT BUT A CAR THAT IS GOING TO CAUSE MY DEATH IS HORRIBLE. I CALLED IN TO SHOWCASE HONDA AND SPOKE TO JAIME WHO ONLY WANTED US TO BRING THE CAR BACK. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THAT IS IT WILL BE SENT BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME LIFE THREATENING ISSUES. I AM AT MY WITS END. I DON'T KNOW WHERE I CAN GET HELP ON THIS MATTER. DAWNN L. HUMPHREY
