THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON AND HAVE BEEN FLASHING, WHILE I WAS ON THE STREET, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT TURN SMOOTHLY AND THE CAR PRODUCES NOISE WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT OR REVERSING. AND WHILE RUNNING, IT PRODUCES SMOKE
JUST READ WEB INFO ON FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY AFTER GAS TANK IS ABOUT HALF FULL ON HONDA PASSPORTS. MY VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE MOVES SIGNIFICANTLY ON TURNS AND AT TIMES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES WHEN TANK IS ABOUT GAS 1/2 FULL. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 87K MILES ON IT. WHEN GAS TANKED IS TOPPED OFF - USUALLY AROUND 8-10 GALS - EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING FINE AGAIN. HEARD HONDA MAY HAVE ANNOUNCED A RECALLED THIS FOR HONDA PASSPORTS BUT UP TO YEAR MODEL1999. BUT GIVEN THE SAME SYMPTOM AND JUST STARTED HAPPENING ON MY YEAR 2000 VEHICLE ..THINKING ALL YEARS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO DEALER YET. HONDA MAINTAINS A GREAT REPUTATION AND SHOULD OFFER AN EXPANDED RECALL. GIVEN THE AGE, THE VEHICLE IS LIKE NEW AND OTHERWISE RUNS FANTASTIC AND I HAVE LOW MILAGE ON THE VEHICLE. WOULD IMAGINE THE SAME PARTS USED IN 1999 PASSPORTS (FUEL SENDING UNIT/LEVER) IS SAME IN THE YEAR 2000. THANK YOU FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND INFORMATION TO HONDA PASSPORT OWNERS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 HONDA PASSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V436000 (SUSPENSION: REAR). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BRACKETS WERE REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME, WHICH WAS CONNECTED TO THE BRACKETS, WAS SEVERELY RUSTED, CORRODED, AND SHOWED SIGNS OF BREAKAGE. THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FRAME BECAUSE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR, FUEL WOULD LEAK FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK WHILE REFUELING. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.
GAS GAUGE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY. GAS TANK HOLDS 21.2 GALLONS, YET WHEN THE GAUGE READS 1/4, IT ONLY TAKES 8 GALLONS TO FILL. DO A 360 TURN, THE GAUGE GOES FROM AN INDICATED 1/2 FULL TO EMPTY, THEN LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. AS I STRAIGHTEN OUT THE GAUGE TAKES ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO RECOVER. I FIND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CLASS OF AUTOMOBILE. ISUZU RODEO, AMIGO, AND OTHER HONDA PASSPORTS, 1998 TO PRESENT. I'VE BEEN QUOTED BETWEEN $500 - $700 TO FIX. FROM MY RESEARCH, THE FIX MAY LAST ONLY 30K MILES. *JB
HONDA PASSPORT 2000: CONTINUOUS FAILURE OF THE GAS SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. EXPENSIVE PROCEDURE TO FIX AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND NOT EFFECTIVE. BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE OBC TO "CHECK ENGINE" CAR ALWAYS FAILS STATE EMISSIONS TEST. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND THE USED CAR DEALER COULD NOT EVEN EXPLAIN THE ERROR AT FIRST. THE CAR IS MADE BY IZUZU AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ALSO WITH THE RODEO'S A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE AS I AM SURE MANY CARS ARE FAILING THE EMISSIONS TEST AS WELL AS RUNNING OUT OF GAS, WHILE DRIVING, BECAUSE THE SENSOR FAILS. *JB
FUEL SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS CASUING LOW/INCORRECT READING ON FUEL GAUGE AND ENGINE LIGHT WARNING.*AK
THE SENDING UNIT ON THE FUEL GAUGE OF MY 2000 HONDA PASSPORT IS FAULTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS PART FOR 98-99 PASSPORT/RODEO'S, BUT NOT ONE FOR THE 2000 MODEL YEAR WHICH HAS THE EXACT SAME UNIT AND SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE SAME RECALL.*AK
AFTER 2-3 HOURS OF DRIVING ENGINE SHUT DOWN INTERMITTENTLY AND IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE VEHICLE RESTARTED UNTIL IT COOLED DOWN. THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEY SUSPECTED THE FAILURE MAY BE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. *AK *SCC *NLM
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
