POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT IS CONTINUING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTO TRANSMISSION. FROM A COLD START THE SUV WILL INTERMITTENTLY SHIFT HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE POWER COSTA MESA HONDA DEALER TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE 5 TIMES. THEY HAD NO WAY OF DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM AS THE SUV WOULD DO THIS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. FINALLY, AFTER ONE DAY OF DRIVING IN TRAFFIC I FOUND A WAY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD PLACED IT INTO 1ST GEAR (LOW) THE SUV SHIFTED INTO 2ND! I AM NO MECHANIC BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I WAS DRIVING IN 2ND WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT REALIZED OH I NEED TO BE IN 1ST! SO I TOOK THE SUV BACK TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED A FAA MOTOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. PART NUMBER: 8-96041-156-0, THE PART WAS 400 DOLLARS AND ABOUT 200 LABOR. THE ISSUE WAS FIXED FOR A MONTH NOW CONTINUES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL NOT SHIFT FROM LOW TO SECOND. NOW THEY WANT ME TO REPLACE THE RANGE SELECTOR SWITCH PART NUMBER: 8-96017-511-0 FOR $147.32 (PART ONLY). *LA

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, AS SOON AS AUTO TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TO 1ST GEAR AT 30 MPH, I EXPERIENCE SUCH A VIOLENT, HARD JERK THAT IT IS ACTUALLY SEEN BY PEOPLE IN OTHER VEHICLES. THIS JERK CREATES A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE ALSO THAT CAN BE HEARD BY PEOPLE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. THIS SAME JERKING IS EXPERIENCED WHEN DECREASING SPEED TO COME TO A STOP, AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS JUST STARTED, I ONLY HAVE 29600 MILES VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. HONDA COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THEREFORE DID NOTHING. IT SCARES ME, AND MY CHILD BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A JOLTING VIOLENT MOVEMENT. *LA
