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
I own a 1998 honda passport. I was leaving my apartment complex and as I was approaching a stop sign which leads to a highway, my vehicle would not come to a complete stop whle braking. Though I was not speeding my brake pedal was resisting and felt hard as I pressed the brake more firmly. I ended up partially in the highway and an oncoming car slammed into me on the driver side totalling my SUV. The street was wet from rain. As I exited my vehicle I noticed that my brake lights still remained illuminated even though I was not in the vehicle. Mr
Brakes will not stop vehicle if road surface is bumpy. Today, vehicle felt like it was not going to stop and almost caused an accident. The braking system has never been good.
This problem has been reported to the dealer several times. The dealer found nothing wrong because the problem cannot be duplicated on demand. Last week when slowly making a right-hand turn into a neighbors drive, the brakes completely failed causing a crash.
Brakes malfunction intermittently resulting in extended stopping distances. Vehicle has been serviced by dealer twice, however problem still exists. Feel free to provide any further information. *ak see 10039844 for more details.
The incident dated 12/21/01 occured as the vehicle exited off the freeway in san pedro, ca. My brother was driving and was aware of the previous brake problems that have occurred in rainy conditions. The vehicle followed the offramp at 25 MPH. We had ample distance between the us and the car in front. As the car came to a slow down, my brother stepped on the brakes but they did not work. There was a rumbling sound as the tires kept rotating. He veered over to the lane to our left so as not to hit the car in front of us. The vehicle continued to slide about 10 more feet on its own until my brother pulled on the emergency brake. As this was happening an 18 wheeler truck was approaching from behind us. Fortunately he was able to stop, the screeching of his brakes was loud, and although our bumpers were touching no one or no vehcile was damaged. The other two incidents of the brakes locking up also occured in rainy conditions. The first happening on the day I bought the vehicle. Again, fortunately no other car was in front of me or for sure I would hvae definitely had rear end collisions as my vehicle slid about 2 feet after the brakes were pressed. Also, in very hot temperatures (90-100 degrees) the brakes when pressed make the vehicle rumble loudly to the point where the rear view mirror shakes for about 3 seconds. The other ongoing problem has been the screeching and squealing of the brakes from the day the vehicle was purchased.

While driving about any speed ABS light will come on unexpectedly. Dealer said that was low brakes fluid. Consumer took vehicle to another shop for repairs, and they found out there was brakes fluid leakage. *ak the consumer had received a recall notice for ABS and was fixed by the dealer. However, the ABS light came on one year later and was on and off several times until now it stays on. The consumer believes the dealer failed to fix it properly during earlier servicing.
The problem that I started having with the truck at about 10000 miles is that the vehicle continues to accelerate on its own when I release the acellerator and press the brake. The problem has persisted for quite some time despite numerous trips to the honda dealership. In august of 99 I took the car into the honda dealership in albany, ga and they informed me that the problem was due to an electrical problem. They said it was fixed. I took the car into the same dealership in november of 2000. They kept the car for two days and said that they identified the problem and that the problem was with some of the electrical connectors. The problem was not fixed. The vehicle is currently at the honda dealership in newburg, ny where they have just informed me that they did not identify a problem with it. Four days ago I nearlly ran over three women who live in my housing area because the truck would not stop when I attempted to. The only way that I was able to stop the forward movement of the truck was to quickly place the truck into neutral to disengage the transmission. There is a serious problem with this vehicle and I fear for the safety of my family and others.
I purchased this car in august, 1998 and from the begining, experienced brake noise problems. One dealer tried to fix the problem a number of times but gave up in the end and I was told that "such brake noise is acceptable." my point at the time was that brake noise is symptomatic of a problem, a potentially safety-related problem (especially since we are dealing with brakes). I complained to the manufacturer, who agreed to extend the warranty on the brakes only from three years/36,000 miles to five years/60,000 miles. On september 16, 2000, I brought the car in to another dealer with brake shuddering and noise problems. The dealer found that the rotors and drums were out of spec and I spent $144 to have the rotors and drums turned. I tried to use my warranty but was told that the fix was maintenance and was not covered by the warranty. I again complained to the manufacturer but my complaint was denied. My contention is that a car of such young age and low mileage should not have to have its rotors and drums turned and that such a problem is indicative of a manufacturing defect which american honda refuses to acknowledge.
While attempting to stop and make a turn brakes went completely out, causing vehicle to hit a light pole. Same defect previously occurred w/o an accident. Dealership did not recognize defect. Consumer's insurance company had advised consumer to report complaint due to concurrent problems.
When attempting to brake, occasionally the vehicle will slow and then accelerate as if the gas pedal is depressed with the brake. Dealer has had numerous times, but claim they cannot duplicate problem.
Went on wet pavment, applied brakes, and they shuttered like they were going to catch, but kept gliding forward, this happened often. Also, happened on dry pavment. Dealer has been contacted.
On occasion when we step on the brakes, the car will suddenly accelerate. Tho I have complained numerous times, honda cannot duplicate therefore will not do anything to resolve it. I am afraid someone is going to get killed with the car. Still have 6 months before lease is up and they won't buy out the lease or take the car back. Its very dangerous and I have witnesses who have seen it happen. Twice we have had accidents with it, twice I've gone through lights, once I hit a sidewalk trying to park because it jumped. I have 3 children and am afraid one of them will be hurt. This is a safety issue I'm concerned about - and its like they don't care or believe me. I didn't know where else to turn.
When traveling and upon making a graudal stop on wet or dry pavement consumer noticed pulsation within the brake pedal, resulting in extended stopping distance. Consumer has contacted the dealer, parts have yet to be replaced. Please provide any further details ea-99-008.
When applying ABS brakes pedal goes to the floor, resulting in extended stopping distance. Also, brake pedal and the gas pedal are located very closely together which causes them to depress at the same time. *ak
Master cylinder completely went out, and brake pedal went down to the floor. No prior warning. *ak
