Bought new 2000 honda passport (isuzu rodeo) october 2001. July 2002, approximately 11k miles started having problems with vehicle, described to mechanics as clunking,banging, noise & in reverse,vehicle hesitated. (I have concerns documented)reported problem multiple times but told could not duplicate."then,nov 2004,previously conditions worsened & transmission failed at 45k mi. Towed to mike's transmission who installed replacement trans. Week later got vehicle & with in a month,trans light came on & car stalled while driving. Have had to take car in almost every month to get transmission fixed,at least 10x in less than 1 yr. I was taken outside by one mechanic & told I should trade car in b/c passports "all have this problem" & they keep "replacing defective parts" in my vehicle with new defective parts". Couple days later, the trans light came back on. Took vehicle to miller honda & paid for a 2nd opinion & was told trans was shot & fluid in trans was "burnt".called mike's & they agreed to replace the trans again. A few days later,got vehicle back. Last thursday,less than a month after receiving new transmission was driving on freeway in far left lane at 70 MPH & lost all power from gas pedal to engine. Cars speeding past me as I uncontrollably lost speed. Maneuvered across 5 lanes & exited. Friday, found out flex plate/fly wheel severed,connects engine to,guess what,transmission!3 mechanics talked to never heard of this happening before,extremely unusual.so unusual that warranty co won't cover b/c they've never heard of it,nor is it listed anywhere in their books. So,to have a vehicle,cost is $1,766. I'm so unbelievably upset I've been sitting at home,with no transportation,crying. Is it unreasonable to expect a new vehicle should last at least 3 years?(bought vehicle 10/01, trans failed 11/04)mechanics can't believe trans failed at 45k mi (had been complaining of problems as early as 11k mi)numerous people who own rodeo/passport have same problem.what's necessary for honda/isuzu recall this vehicle?

When applying brakes on dry road surface ABS would intermittently engage itself from 10-0 MPH and cause the brakes to momentary lock up. The vehicle has been to the dealer on two separate occasions and they were unable to duplicate the problem. The consumer was concerned that this may cause a vehicle crash if this issue continued. *ak when decreasing speed to 15 MPH or lower the brake pedal would begin to push back and tremble. There would also be a spring like noise which would sound like the ABS when engaged in winter driving conditions. The rear wipers were inoperative. Also when the defrost was on, the vehicle idle would go up extremely high, then drop, stall out and sometimes the ABS would activate when driving conditions were normal. *sc

My 2000 honda passport stalled on me one thursday morning and called american honda to find out if the problem is covered by the warranty. I was instructed by american honda to have the car towed to a nearest dealership to be diagnosed for any mechanical failure and given a case# for this incident. I received a call the following day from the dealership with regards to what the problem was. They told me that it's a broken transmission seal that caused my car to stall and I was given an estimated work order of $385. I followed up with american honda and informed them of the situation down to me renting a replacement vehicle while it's being repaired. I was informed that they are going to evaluate the problem and will reimburse me for the repair if it falls within their "said" guidelines. So I went ahead and paid for the order 2 days later for $333.44 and $13.34 of which is the cost of the part and the rest is the dealership's labor cost (ridiculous) not to mention $27.72/day for my car rental for 2 days. Monday came and I received a call from american honda stating that they did a follow up on the repair and they decided that the repair cost were not considered "pre-mature defect" that I do not qualify for a reimbursement from american honda.

We are having a huge problem with the honda corporation. I have taken my 2000 honda passport in for many visits at least 6. This has been happening since last year. The vehicle shuts off while you are driving.*ak this week alone I was almost hit three times. I was on my way to work today and was turning onto the freeway and was almost slammed into. I have been calling telling them this is a huge safety issue. The car has been taken in many times there have been a few things done or there was nothing found. Every single time we get the car back either immediately or soon thereafter the vehicle starts to stall while driving. We spoke with the corporate office they took down the information had us bring the car in and then kept it for a six days. When we got the car back within a short period of time the car began to shut off again. We are in a lease agreement and at the end of the year 2004 we can try trade it in. I have no problem with that but a car that is going to cause my death is horrible. I called in to showcase honda and spoke to jaime who only wanted us to bring the car back. The problem I have with that is it will be sent back again with the same life threatening issues. I am at my wits end. I don't know where I can get help on this matter. Dawnn l. Humphrey
