Was advised by a honda technician that it was an emissions problem but the code that came up doesn't show what is wrong. They replaced the gas cap but that didn't resolve the problem. Dt
1998 Honda Passport engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am complaining about another (as the dealer puts it) "common defect" with my passport. In addition to the valve train premature wear, this engine also has an excessive amount of oil consumption. Oil consumption is sporadic, but can exceed more than two quarts per 1000 miles driven. Oil consumption occurs regardless of driving conditions or load on vehicle. In combination with no dash warning, the oil consumption can lead to engine failure within the regular oil change interval. Engine failure replacement at over 10,000 dollars per dealership. No external signs of oil consumption at the vehicle's rear. *mr *ph *nlm **dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut over to artemis**768007

While driving at a speed of 20-25 MPH, the car will cut off and lose all power. Unable to start the vehicle after that, returrned to dealer for service and car was returned to owner due to the fact that the problem could not be duplicated. Over the past few months this has happened around 5-10 times, however each time was able to start the vehicle. Service department has no answer or solution to the ongoing problem. Nlm
While driving at speeds 55 to 75 MPH, engines cuts off but continues running after letting go of gas pedal. Check engine light comes on at highway speeds and turns off after a few days.
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.
Rear hood class was misadjusted, once tighted and rear struts replaced the rattling continued. Nlm

When driving at 25 MPH the engine check light came on and stayed on, and the air conditioner went out and was blowing out hot air. Check engine light is still coming on. Dealer replaced the gas cape, and the consumer was having problem with the exhaust system. Vehicle has been in the shop six times, and the dealer fixed everything. Consumer just got the vehicle out as of 11-05-98, and the accelerator pedal broke while the consumer was driving, and a metal piece was hanging down. The consumer used the metal part to drive when the accelerator pad broke.
