1998 Honda Passport: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed Sep 14, 2005 · Brakes, Electrical · 43,000 miles · CA

I will be driving and my car will just shut off, I also have the extended stopping problem and braking causing me to manually steer. I have also had trouble with the car not starting or starting slowly. I was told there were several recalls before I purchased the car and they were repaired - the ABS was done last year but the problem continues. I would like the ABS replaced. I checked your website for outstanding recalls and found. I called the dealer and was told the ABS was done 2/04 but the truck continues to have the same problem - extending stopping. I have had my passport 3 years and have only received one recall - but the problem currently exists ... Extended stopping distance. The only recall sticker in the door is for the pedal. Additionally, I have also had a problem with the truck turning off in the middle of a turn (forcing me to manually steer my car) 98v70 (describes it completely) my truck also refuses to start properly. It starts and then shuts off - sometimes it takes up to 3 times to turn on and stay on. (sb03-03-s003 describes this as well) since I cannot determine who performed the other recalls, how can I be certain they were done or done properly? My vehicle continues to have the identical problems associated with the following recalls: the federal safety agency campaign # 02i002001 - service brakes, hydraulic; anti-lock (5/29/02) 98v170000 - electrical system - wiring, front underhood (7/23/98) 98v170002 - electrical system - wiring front underhood (7/23/98) 00v058000 - suspension, rear (2/29/00) 97v206002 - other (11/11/97) I have not had any accidents as a result, but I am afraid to drive with my children in the car if my car just shuts off in the middle of a turn, or on the freeway and at low speed. I have also had it accelerate while on the freeway revving the engine constantly - these have all happened for the last 3 years with no recall notices.

Problem with brake system of honda passports. There is a delay in stopping and car glides forward several feed even after brakes are applied. Had this problem ever since purchasing the car but not as bad. Always was told it is the nature of ABS brakes to do that! Took it to the dealership 3 times and they said they could not similiate the problem and that there was nothing wrong with the brakes. Took it to an independant and he was able to find out the same problem with brakes in 2 hours! Took it back to the honda dealership and they suddenly acknowledged that they had heard about the same problem from other customers. In each case were not able to pinpoint the problem, and basically honda not doing anything about it. Then saw the other complaint reports in mycarstats.com and noticed this has been an ongoing and existing problem with honda. This is a serious safety issue and honda is deceiving the public by not being honest about its existence.

My ABS light is always on and it has been into the honda dealer and they could not locate the problem. I have had a to use my brakes in a quick manner and have found that they lock up. I have two small children and this is a major concern for me. I found a recall on the safety alerts that said there was a recall for this problem on the 98 honda passport. I took the federal safety agency campaign number (021002001) called honda customer service and they have no record of this recall. I tried the local honda dealer and they could not find anything either. They told me there was nothing in their bulletins regarding ABS. My concern is I have been having trouble with the ABS, I have two small children and this has been brought to my attention yet no one can find this campaign id number 021002001 linked to my honda passport. If there is anything that can be done please contact me. Dt
