I purchased a 99 honda passport from mazda of knoxville located in knoxville tn. The vehicle had 49000 mi. 3 days later it started making noise in the engine, and also the fuel gauge stopped working as well as the air conditioner. I called them back, they told me to bring it back to them. They kept it a week and a half. I picked it up and brought it home. They claimed to have done 3700 dollars worth of work to it to fix it. I returned home and 2 days later and had the oil changed, the people changing my oil asked me if the vehicle had been under water before, I said I didn? Know. When I had the oil changed it started making noises again. I called them back and they said the noise was nothing to worry about, it is normal so this time they offered no help. Said it was my problem. I continued to drive the vehicle and now not only is it making noise but it isn?t running right. It will not idle sometimes and other times it will idle at 4000 RPM to the point it sounds like it is going to explode. It has died on me a number of times in busy intersections and is only getting worse.

My 1999 honda passport's ABS light remains illuminated after it's self diagnostic test. I have taken it to the dealer who indicated that diagnostic codes require the main ABS computer module to be replaced. When the light is lit, the ABS system is inoperative. This is a safety hazard. The light occaisionally does go off after self diagonostics, about 2% of the time. Honda claims there is no recall on this vehicle, even though isuzu indicates that their rodeo, which is the same vehicle and model year does have a voluntary recall in place for faulty ABS module, which althouhg it appears unrelated to this problem, would also solve this problem as the ABS module is replaced in this safety campaign.
This is the third honda I have owned, but the only one with problems. The first two had over 300,000 miles combined....no problems. This really isn't even a honda, it is an isuzu. When I purchased the car, I was told that all parts inside and out were made by honda and that isuzu supplied only the seatbelts and the actual car frame. I have had the A/C blower replaced two times, the first time was under warranty. After the first replacement, the cd player stopped working and then the car started experiencing electrical problems. When I turned on the blinker, the A/C went out along with the auto transm. Spent over $150 plus cost of rental car and honda said the probl. Was with the trailer hitch. I did not pay for repair...they wanted over $600...however, when the car was given back, mysteriously the cd player begain working and so did the A/C...checked and they replaced the blower (although they said they didn't do anything) as soon as I picked up the car...no more problems during that time. A year later (no longer under warranty) the A/C blower works intermittenly, the transmission today just started to manually shift itself from 2 to 3rd gear and makes a hard clunking sound. A few months ago, it was shifting itself from drive to neutral or low and then back to drive. Also, the fuel sending unit is inoperable...the tank registers empty and the light flashes constantly. Heard this is a known problem for isuzu rodeos and passports. I even work with someone who has a 99 rodeo and has the same problems, but his fuel sending unit went out while he was under warranty. The honda dealer down here wants over $600 for repair. I feel mislead. I purchased honda due to success on my other two hondas. I could have saved over $10,000 and purchased an isuzu rodeo, but I thought by purchasing a honda, I was getting a reliable SUV. I will never purchase another honda/isuzu again...I have gotten no support from the honda dealers. Too many problems with this model!
While driving on uneven pavement brakes will lock up, and it will be hard to control vehicle. Dealer notified.
The ABS light came on when starting the car, and a lound winding sound came out of the engine compartment. The ABS motor was continuing to run, even with the car turned off. I had to disconnect it to get it stop so I could take it to the shop. The cost of getting it fixed was $1750, which wasn't covered under warranty.
The ABS sensor on the car has malfunctioned. I have done research and this has also occurred to 14 other people. Numerous others ahve complained about abnormal braking modulations, and sensations while braking. Including that the brakes skipping.
Abs light came on while driving, after shutting off engine ABS pump kept running. Vehicle has not been examined by dealer.
Abs system pump was continuously running with keys removed from ignition. Pump was extremely hot to the touch and had to be disabled by removing the ABS system fuse. Abs system failure light came on and is still on. No problems with brake system prior to this failure. Car was serviced for exhaust pipe replacement 1 day prior to ABS system failure.
