1998 Honda Passport Other or unknown Problems

“I will be driving and my car will just shut off, I also have the extended stopping problem and braking causing me to manually steer. I have also had trouble with the car not starting or starting slowly. I was told there were several recalls before I purchased the car and they were repaired - the ABS was done last year but the problem continues. I would like the ABS replaced. I checked your website for outstanding recalls and found. I called the dealer and was told the ABS was done 2/04 but the truck continues to have the same problem - extending stopping. …”

“After refueling gas on thurday, november 5, 1998: 2 minutes into trip home (10 min trip), I heard pop/explosion in left-rear. On arrival, noticed that the gas cap was hanging on the side of the vehicle - but was in place after gas refuel. On friday, november 6, 1998: noticed that gas showed at 1/2 with only 45 miles driven after refueling (I had reset trip meter after fuel). During the course of the day, the gas gauge showed gas levels ranging from 1/2 to 3/4 - these levels would not remain constant (even when parked). …”

“At speeds around 50 MPH and above, vehicle has a persistent shimmy (vibration) in the steering wheel. Honda dealer says it is the tires, tire dealer says the tires are ok. Dealer kept the vehicle all day, and the problem was about 90 percent better. But the shimmy came back within a month. Have talked to Honda's customer service people, they claim no knoweldge of it. But the internet is full of reports of the shimmy on early production vehicles (like mine). I seem to have exhausted all other avenues, so I am now filing this report( DOT number: )”

“Many problems with Passport. Abs light stays on (bad rear sensor failure 3 times), front suspension problems (bushings are failing) problem happens 6 times, vehicle may stall while driving when clutch is depressed which causes loss of control of vehicle, fuel guage went out (dealer says it is the main computer system)”

“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.”
