Eight problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1999 Honda Passport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In my second year of owning my 1999 Honda Passport, I began to experience a jarring jolt when taking off from a stop imtermittantly. Now, about a year later, this has grown to a violent banging jolt when accelerating, and a full slipping between gears as I proceed. This grew worse very fast, and now I need to replace the transmission, at a cost of over $4,000. 00, according to bell road Honda in phoenix. I'm at a loss, and need help.
This Passport have been having (automatic) transmission problems at around 15 to 20 miles and at 25 to 30 miles. The mileage on this car now is about 50,200 miles. When I take to the dealer the problem is gone and they cannot diagnose the problem. The gears slams or jerks when it shifts and it also does when you slow down. The problem does not happen on higher gears. I have serviced the transmission and also put a new battery since the dealer said this might be the problem. . . But. . . The problem is still there. Does this problem happens to all 1999 Passports? and if so what is the remedy. . Thank you, orlando r ayala .
Vehicle jerks & shifts hard at various speeds during gear changes. Vehicle was taken to dealership 1 yr before the jerks became violent due to decrease in smoothness of gear changes. The dealer informed me that it was normal in the Passport/isuzu & that it wouldn't get any worse. It has!.
My 1999 Honda Passport is continuing to have problems with the auto transmission. From a cold start the SUV will intermittently shift hard into 2nd gear. I have taken to the power costa mesa Honda dealer to have them diagnose 5 times. They had no way of diagnosing the problem as the SUV would do this every once in a while. Finally, after one day of driving in traffic I found a way to duplicate the problem. I had placed it into 1st gear (low) the SUV shifted into 2nd! I am no mechanic but I do know that it is not supposed to happen. I was driving in 2nd when all of a sudden it realized OH I need to be in 1st! so I took the SUV back to have them diagnose the issue. They replaced a faa motor in the transmission. Part number: 8-96041-156-0, the part was 400 dollars and about 200 labor. The issue was fixed for a month now continues to have the problem but it will not shift from low to second. Now they want me to replace the range selector switch part number: 8-96017-511-0 for $147. 32 (part only).
After vehichle cools down and I go to start the car and shift down to drive the transmission skips down to l gear and when I try to take it back up to the d position it will take that gear but when I take off the car knocks really hard when it tries to shift gears and when I slow down to stop and it tries to shift down it also does a hard knocking.
Auto transmission makes hard knocking sound on shifting that makes the car jerk and shutter. It's so violent that people in other cars notice and passengers in my car get scared. This started at 50,000 miles, has been in two shops, for almost 15 days and has not been repaired. The problem is intermittent and cannot always be duplicated at the shop.
Car starts when shifter changes from park to drive while stepping on brake.
We have had the vehicle four times for the same reason, at certain times while driving when the car is shifting into the different gears it jerks extremely hard on accelerating and decelerating. They have found codes in the transmission and cleared them a few times and the last time they replaced the computer module in the transmission. The problem still exists.
