1995 Honda Passport Engine cooling Problems

“At approximately 40000 miles the engine started to use an excessive amount of oil. It now takes an additional 1.5 - 2 qts every 3000 miles. I believe this is not normal vehicle operation. The manufacturer claims this is normal oil consumption. I have never owned a car that used oil like this. I believe there is something wrong with the valve guides or piston rings.”

“I bought the vehicle used...it smokes white smoke...takes several tries to start...engine dies...will not shift down automatically...oil gushes out everywhere...uses excessive amounts of fuel...got trapped in vehicle with my two children because electrical system would not unlock doors.”

“From my understanding the premature failure of the lifters is quite extensive throughout the us. Why hasn't anything been done about this? Shouldn't the manufacturer have to cover the cost of this repair? It set me back $4,100.00.”

“The contact owns a 1995 Honda Passport. The mechanic found a pen hole crack in the radiator and made the repair. When the contact activated the air conditioner, all of the antifreeze seeped through the pen hole crack and onto the engine. Currently, the engine is vibrating and shaking and the vehicle is burning fuel. The current and failure mileages were 186,667. Updated 09/18/07”

“I have a 1995 Honda Passport with a noticable clicking or ticking noise in the engine. I have done exaustive research with other owners through the internet. I believe a recall should be applied to this engine defect. There are simply too many other Passport drivers with the same problem. At this time I understand there is a bulletin from Honda about the clicking but no recall. I am forty years old and have never had to issue a complaint like this. I just have a true gut feeling that this defect is for real. Please let me know if there have been other such notices from consumers. …”
