1999 Honda Passport transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When slowing down, the automatic transmission shifted into neutral, made a loud noise and vibrated. The vehicle was taken to two honda dealers, who stated they did not work on transmissions. Vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic. The transmission was rebuilt, and two days later the same problem occurred. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of failure. *ak
Consumer states that gear shift mechanism is giving a false reading. Dealer has been contacted.
Auto transmission makes hard knocking sound on shifting that makes the car jerk and shutter. It's so violent that people in other cars notice and passengers in my car get scared. This started at 50,000 miles, has been in two shops, for almost 15 days and has not been repaired. The problem is intermittent and cannot always be duplicated at the shop.
After vehichle cools down and I go to start the car and shift down to drive the transmission skips down to l gear and when I try to take it back up to the d position it will take that gear but when I take off the car knocks really hard when it tries to shift gears and when I slow down to stop and it tries to shift down it also does a hard knocking.
While driving the ABS light illuminated, the vehicle was immediately returned to the dealer where they replaced various electronic components related to the ABS system, the rotors failed causing vibration when braking at any speed, the rear brake pads were worn substantially more than the front pads.

We have experienced numerous major problems with our passport since its purchase in 4/99. In 2/00, while driving a 65mph, the rear differential spontaneously went due to a leak in the rear axle of the car. Our vehicle remained at the dealer for over 50 days due to problems obtaining the correct parts from isuzu. We have also had ongoing problems with the ABS sytem especially after going over bumps,uneven and slick surfaces. In each instance, although the brakes were firmly engaged,the vehicle emitted a loud grinding sound from underneath the front of the car, the vehicle pulled to one side, and the ABS system did not immediatley engage.on 11-21-00, the ABS system failed to properly engage on our vehicle, which resulted in a rear end accident. The vehicles' ABS system failed to engage at a speed under 15 MPH. The car pulled to one side and would not stop! The vehicle sustained over $5000 worth of damage although no air bags deployed and the only damage to the other vehicle was a slight dent to the back bumper. During a major snowstorm in 2-01, we found out that the 4-wheel drive no longer worked on the vehicle. Although the manual says that the 4-wheel drive could be engaged on the fly, the car would not travel over 10mph without vibrating the entire vehicle. In addition,the ride felt like being in a bulldozer and we were bounced around the road. Further, the 4-wheel drive would not disengage unless the vehicle was put into reverse. This repair took over 50 days to accomplish and was due to the dealership not using the correct parts to fix the differential problem in 2000. Finally, the ABS system spontaneously malfunctioned on 6-16-01 while driving at under 30mph. In addition to the malfunction,a loud whining sound came from the ABS box under the hood even when the engine was turned off! We have extreme concerns over the safety and quality of this vehicle. The ownership by the dealer/manufacturer has been greatly lacking.

We have had the vehicle four times for the same reason, at certain times while driving when the car is shifting into the different gears it jerks extremely hard on accelerating and decelerating. They have found codes in the transmission and cleared them a few times and the last time they replaced the computer module in the transmission. The problem still exists.
