1999 HONDA PASSPORT DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM.*MR THE CONSUMER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE A YEAR AFTER IT WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED ANT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. ALTHOUGH THE ABS RECALL WAS COMPLETED THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE BRAKE PROBLEMS. WHILE BRAKING THE CONSUMER HEARD NOISE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT HE FRONT AND REAR ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *NM

DT: CONSUMER GOT A RECALL LETTER IN MARCH 2004 ON THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM . HAD RECALL PROBLEM FIXED ON JULY 29, 2004. NOW, WHEN BRAKES APPLIED, THE CAR WILL NOT STOP AT REQUIRED DISTANCE AND CONTINUES ON A FEW FEET MORE WHILE DRIVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD. DROVE ON A COLD DAY ,AND WHEN HE PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED IT OFF, IT MADE A NOISE LIKE A FAN BLOWING. TOOK IT TO DEALER, AND THEY FIXED THE ABS MODULE SYSTEM AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE BRAKES ARE STILL NOT RIGHT. GAVE THE DEALER $200.00 TO REPLACE REAR ROTORS, AND ALL THEY DID WAS PUT NEW PADS ON OLD ROTORS. *AK CONSUMER STATES NEW PADS WITH THE OLD ROTORS MADE HIM RUN INTO A BRICK WALL. *TT

1999 HONDA PASSPORT EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE EQUIPMENT AND ENGINE REVVING AT IDLE.*MR THE ABS LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE WAS IN FOR RECALL. THE BRAKES GOES OUT WHEN VEHICLE HIT A BUMP AT 10 MPH. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN COMING TO A STOP CAUSING EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. *BF *NM

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, BRAKES FAILED OR SHUDDERED A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. FINALLY ABS LIGHT WENT ON AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THIS MEANS THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM IS NO LONGER WORKING - HAVE HAD NO BRAKING PROBLEMS SINCE. DEALER SAYS IT'S A REAR SWITCH THAT'S OUT, AND WANTS OVER $200 TO REPLACE, BUT I HAVEN'T FIXED IT SINCE RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THE ABS SYSTEM IS FAULTY ANYWAY. HAVE A DAUGHTER I DON'T WANT INJURED IN A CRASH DUE TO FAULTY BRAKES. *NM

AFTER A MAJOR SERVICE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE PERFORMED BY MOSES HONDA, 6018 U.S. 60 RT. EAST OF BARBOURSVILLE, I NOTICED A SEVERE DEPLETION OF BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MOSES AUTO SERVICE AND EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING. THE SERVICE MANAGER HAD A TECHNICIAN TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY ADDED BRAKE FLUID. THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED MORE ATTENTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE ON MY NEXT SERVICE DATE. AFTER MY NEXT SERVICE DATE NO MENTION OF THE BRAKE PROBLEM WAS ADDRESSED. ON NOVEMBER 23, 2004 I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT. 60 AND PASSED THROUGH A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT EXIT 15 I-64 AND WAS CONFRONTED BY A GRAY VAN SUDDENLY STOPPED. I IMMEDIATELY THRUST MY FOOT ON MY BRAKES, TO NO AVAIL. I SUBSEQUENTLY COLLIDED WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS A HORRIFYING EXPERIENCE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAGS, SMOKE AND NOISE. THERE WAS A CABELL COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF NEAR THE SCENE WHO DID THE REPORTING AND INVESTIGATION. LATER THAT SAME DAY I ONCE AGAIN PASSED THROUGH THE ACCIDENT SCENE AND DISCOVERED NO TIRE SKID MARKS. THIS HAS AROUSED MY SUSPICION ABOUT THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE IS STORED AT PAUL'S GARAGE. 6141 CHILDERS RD. BARBOURSVILLE, WV PH.304-736-4531. I WOULD LIKE FOR YOUR OFFICE TO INVESTIGATE THIS VEHICLE FOR BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE REPAIRS BEGIN. THANK YOU, JAMES H. PARSONS
