1999 HONDA PASSPORT Complaints

CAR & STEERING WHEEL VIBRATE & SHAKE SO HARD IT TENDS TO PUT MY HANDS & ARMS TO SLEEP. HONDA DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVEN TIMES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM; THEY HAVE ONLY MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE. NOW HONDA EXPECTS ME TO DRIVE THE CAR 45 MORE DAYS WHILE WAITING FOR A "MASTER MECHANIC" TO FIND THE TIME TO WORK ON THE CAR. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE OR HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR. I HAVE FILED A BBB REPORT AND CONTACTED A LAWYER. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING HONDA/RODEO MADE OVER 30 CHANGES IN THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE 2000 MODELS. *AK

THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN APPLYING BRAKES ON ROUGH DIRT ROADS AND THE BRAKES FAIL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. YH

ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS FUEL SENSOR, FOLLOWED BY CYLINDERS BEING REPLACED, UNRESOLVED WHINING NOISE, RECALL ON REAR SUSPENSION, AND NOW RECALL ON HEAD IMPACT PROTECTION. CAR HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN IN SHOP SINCE PURCHASE, AND WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE OVERALL SAFETY AND DURABILITY OF THIS MODEL. LOCAL DEALER HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN TRYING TO RESOLVE PROBLEMS, BUT OVERALL QUALITY AND SAFETY ISSUES HAVE US SEEKING ANSWERS FROM YOU AS TO WHAT STEPS WE CAN TAKE TO HAVE VEHICLE REPLACED BY MANUFACTURER.
