I HAVE OWNED THE 1999 HONDA PASSPORT FOR 3 YEARS. AT ABOUT 50,000 MILES, THE SUV WOULD SHIFT HARD FORM THE LOWER GEAR TO FIRST. SO HARD IF FACT, THAT OTHERS IN CARS NEARBY NOTICED. RECENTLY, THE SUV WAS HAVING PROBLEMS SHIFTING DURING ACCELERATION. AT FIRST IT WAS SLIP, BUT QUICKLY WORSENED. UPON ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR WHEN SHIFTING FROM A HIGHER GEAR DOWN (ESPECIALLY ON TURNS) THE GEAR SEEMS TO SLIP AND THERE IS A JOLT. I TOOK THE SUV TO BE DIAGNOSED. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL DAYS FOR DIAGNOSIS. FIRST DIAGNOSIS WAS THE DRIVE SHAFT, PROBLEM DID NOT GO AWAY. THEN IT WAS THE TYPE OF OIL IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. WENT AWAY FOR A DAY, THEN RETURNED. FINALLY, HAD THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT. PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I SPENT OVER $4000 ON THESE REPAIRS AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *JB

1999 HONDA PASSPORT DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM.*MR THE CONSUMER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AFTER IT WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED ANT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE ABS RECALL WAS COMPLETED THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHILE BRAKING THE CONSUMER HEARD NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT HE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *NM

DT: CONSUMER GOT A RECALL LETTER IN MARCH 2004 ON THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM . HAD RECALL PROBLEM FIXED ON JULY 29, 2004. NOW, WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT REQUIRED DISTANCE AND CONTINUES ON A FEW FEET MORE WHILE DRIVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. DROVE ON A COLD DAY ,AND WHEN HE PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF, IT MADE A NOISE LIKE A FAN BLOWING. TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY FIXED THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT RIGHT. GAVE THE DEALER $200.00 TO REPLACE REAR ROTORS, AND ALL THEY DID WAS PUT NEW PADS ON OLD ROTORS. *AK CONSUMER STATES NEW PADS WITH THE OLD ROTORS MADE HIM RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. *TT
