1999 HONDA PASSPORT Complaints

ABS MODULE WENT BAD. IT WOULD MAKE A CONSTANT MOTOR NOISE EVEN WITHOUT IGNITION ON. *AK

1 TIRE HAS A RADIAL PULL, AND 1 TIRE CAUSES VIBRATIONS IN THE STEERING. THE TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ROTATED. THE VIBRATIONS GO AWAY WHEN THE BAD TIRES ARE ROTATED TO THE REAR. I HAVE NOTICED NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. I DID NOT FIND ANY RECALL ON THEM AND THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT REPLACE OR PROATE THE TIRES SINCE THEY ARE WORN PAST 2/32". IS THIS TRUE, IS THERE ANY RECOURSE WITH THE TIRE COMPANY?*AK (DOT NUMBER: Y7MT TIRESIZE: P245/70R16)

WHILE DRIVING THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED VARIOUS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE ABS SYSTEM, THE ROTORS FAILED CAUSING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT ANY SPEED, THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN THE FRONT PADS.

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES WHILE GOING OVER A BUMP PEDAL WENT TO FLOORBOAR, RESULTING IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, AND CAUSING A COLLISION.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS STAYED ON. CONTACTED DEALER, AND DEALER DISCONNECTED ABS MOTOR FROM VEHICLE.*AK

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH OUR PASSPORT SINCE ITS PURCHASE IN 4/99. IN 2/00, WHILE DRIVING A 65MPH, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL SPONTANEOUSLY WENT DUE TO A LEAK IN THE REAR AXLE OF THE CAR. OUR VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 50 DAYS DUE TO PROBLEMS OBTAINING THE CORRECT PARTS FROM ISUZU. WE HAVE ALSO HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS SYTEM ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS,UNEVEN AND SLICK SURFACES. IN EACH INSTANCE, ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE FIRMLY ENGAGED,THE VEHICLE EMITTED A LOUD GRINDING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE CAR, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO ONE SIDE, AND THE ABS SYSTEM DID NOT IMMEDIATLEY ENGAGE.ON 11-21-00, THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO PROPERLY ENGAGE ON OUR VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN A REAR END ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLES' ABS SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE AT A SPEED UNDER 15 MPH. THE CAR PULLED TO ONE SIDE AND WOULD NOT STOP! THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED OVER $5000 WORTH OF DAMAGE ALTHOUGH NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS A SLIGHT DENT TO THE BACK BUMPER. DURING A MAJOR SNOWSTORM IN 2-01, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE NO LONGER WORKED ON THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE MANUAL SAYS THAT THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE COULD BE ENGAGED ON THE FLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT TRAVEL OVER 10MPH WITHOUT VIBRATING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION,THE RIDE FELT LIKE BEING IN A BULLDOZER AND WE WERE BOUNCED AROUND THE ROAD. FURTHER, THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE WOULD NOT DISENGAGE UNLESS THE VEHICLE WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. THIS REPAIR TOOK OVER 50 DAYS TO ACCOMPLISH AND WAS DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP NOT USING THE CORRECT PARTS TO FIX THE DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM IN 2000. FINALLY, THE ABS SYSTEM SPONTANEOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED ON 6-16-01 WHILE DRIVING AT UNDER 30MPH. IN ADDITION TO THE MALFUNCTION,A LOUD WHINING SOUND CAME FROM THE ABS BOX UNDER THE HOOD EVEN WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF! WE HAVE EXTREME CONCERNS OVER THE SAFETY AND QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE. THE OWNERSHIP BY THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN GREATLY LACKING. *AK

WHILE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH BRAKES APPLIED AT TOP OF CONSUMER'S DRIVEWAY,BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, AND ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN, AND VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER 20 FEET, LEAVING SKID MARKS ON DRIVEWAY. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/ATTACHMENTS.*AK

RECALL 00V058000 SUPPOSEDLY COMPLETED ON MY CAR, BUT PART FELL APART ANYWAY. *AK

I AM SEEING PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK SLIDING SIDEWAYS ON SLIPPERY ROADS WHEN MAKING TURNS. THIS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. THE WHOLE VEHICLE TENDS TO MOVE SIDEWAYS AND THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED ONE ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE.*AK
