Owner-reported complaints naming the driver-assistance system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Driver assistance reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS, THERE HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY TEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATIONS IN MY 1998 HONDA PASSPORT. (ISUZU) THIS OCCURS MAINLY IN A STOP AND GO SITUATION WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THE RPM'S SUDDENLY SHOOT UP TO ABOUT 6000, AND JUST AS SUDDENLY DECREASE. THE REAR WHEELS SPIN WHILE I AM HOLDING THE BRAKE DOWN. ON THE LAST OCCASION, I HAD IT IN PARK AND THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE ISUZU PEOPLE AND HONDA PEOPLE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE, NOR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

2 WEEKS AGO I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT, MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, WHEN THE BRAKE MOVED UNDER MY FOOT. THEN THE GAS REVVED LIKE THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING HELD DOWN. I COULD BARELY KEEP THE CAR FROM RAMMING THE CAR STOPPED AHEAD OF ME. I PUT BOTH MY FEET ON THE BRAKE AND PUT MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE KEY OFF. AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR IT WAS NORMAL. DEFINITELY THE MOST HARROWING EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD! MY VEHICLE IS AN 1998 HONDA PASSPORT, NOT A TOYOTA. COULD IT HAVE THE SAME PARTS? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW. *TR

Crash reported
ON OCCASION WHEN WE STEP ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. THO I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES, HONDA CANNOT DUPLICATE THEREFORE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE IT. I AM AFRAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED WITH THE CAR. STILL HAVE 6 MONTHS BEFORE LEASE IS UP AND THEY WON'T BUY OUT THE LEASE OR TAKE THE CAR BACK. ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE WITNESSES WHO HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN. TWICE WE HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS WITH IT, TWICE I'VE GONE THROUGH LIGHTS, ONCE I HIT A SIDEWALK TRYING TO PARK BECAUSE IT JUMPED. I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND AM AFRAID ONE OF THEM WILL BE HURT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT - AND ITS LIKE THEY DON'T CARE OR BELIEVE ME. I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. *AK
