BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PH

LTR FM KRESTON & MARY KAY LANE (ND). THE CONSUMERS SON SUFFERED INJURIES WHEN HIS VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED THROUGH THEIR GARAGE. *JB

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD WORKED INTERMITTENTLY DURING USE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. PH SCC

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.

AS THE CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY, THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND CONSEQUENTLY HIT HER SON WHO WAS PLAYING IN THE GARAGE. RECALL#021002001 *JB *DT *SCC

WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED, THERE WAS A SUDDEN POWER SURGE, GAS PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ENGINE WAS RACING. CONSUMER HIT HER SON AND LANDED IN THE GARAGE. MANUFACTURER NOTIFIED. TS *TT

CONSUMER STATES THAT INTERMITTENLY WHEN DRIVING AND DECELERATING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WILL SLOW DOWN, BUT ONCE STOPS WILL "LURCH" FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING COLLISIONS WITH OTHER CARS. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. TS

FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM: FUEL GAUGE FREQUENTLY HAS BEGUN TO DROP TO A READING OF ZERO WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING BUT RUNNING. THE RESERVE LIGHT WILL BLINK AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT SHOW ANY FUEL READING UNTIL THE CAR BEGINS MOVING AGAIN. IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE A CORRECT READING IS SHOWN. INTAKE MANIFOLD SYSTEM FAILURE: DATE AND MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATED, WILL LOCATE RECORDS WITH EXACT DATE AND MILEAGE. BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS WERE REPORTED AS "CRACKED" BY THE DEALER AND REPLACED AT A CHARGE OF $400 (NOT UNDER WARRANTY). ENGINE IDLED ROUGHLY AND STALLED PRIOR TO REPAIR. TSB FROM HONDA IS AVAILABLE.

NHTSA#:14950-02-1-002-001 RECAL: WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOOPING. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. MR
