Four problems related to brakes failed have been reported for the 1999 Honda Passport. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
Consumer states brakes continue to fail. Dealer notified.
Consumer stated that the manufacturer was warned repeatly that the brakes were not functioning properly, and the warning was ignored. On may 13 2003 consumer's son was driving at 23 mph ,upon coming to a red light brakes failed, causing vehicle to rear end another vehicle.
Was coasting to a stop at a red light. Applied brakes on a rough surface and the brakes failed to bring vehicle to a stop. Had to use the emergency brake to halt the vehicle. The vehicle would not stop even after trying to re-apply the brakes. \ had to shut off vehicle and restart then the brakes started to work again. Took vehicle to dealer, and mechancs stated that it was a normal function when driving over a rough surface for the tires to unlock as part of the abs system. Dealer drove with me to a gravel parking area and sped vehicle and stepped on brakes and it did to him what it did to me. He stated that this was a normal function. This has happened 8 times this year alone and continues to scare the heck out of me when it happens. 2 times almost caused me to bump another vehicle from behind but used emergency break to halt vehicle.
