I will be driving and my car will just shut off, I also have the extended stopping problem and braking causing me to manually steer. I have also had trouble with the car not starting or starting slowly. I was told there were several recalls before I purchased the car and they were repaired - the abs was done last year but the problem continues. I would like the abs replaced. I checked your website for outstanding recalls and found. I called the dealer and was told the abs was done 2/04 but the truck continues to have the same problem - extending stopping. I have had my Passport 3 years and have only received one recall - but the problem currently exists . . . Extended stopping distance. The only recall sticker in the door is for the pedal. Additionally, I have also had a problem with the truck turning off in the middle of a turn (forcing me to manually steer my car) 98v70 (describes it completely) my truck also refuses to start properly. It starts and then shuts off - sometimes it takes up to 3 times to turn on and stay on. (sb03-03-s003 describes this as well) since I cannot determine who performed the other recalls, how can I be certain they were done or done properly? my vehicle continues to have the identical problems associated with the following recalls: NHTSA campaign # 02i002001 - service brakes, hydraulic; anti-lock (5/29/02) 98v170000 - electrical system - wiring, front underhood (7/23/98) 98v170002 - electrical system - wiring front underhood (7/23/98) 00v058000 - suspension, rear (2/29/00) 97v206002 - other (11/11/97) I have not had any accidents as a result, but I am afraid to drive with my children in the car if my car just shuts off in the middle of a turn, or on the freeway and at low speed. I have also had it accelerate while on the freeway revving the engine constantly - these have all happened for the last 3 years with no recall notices.

When applying brakes on dry road surface abs would intermittently engage itself from 10-0 mph and cause the brakes to momentary lock up. The vehicle has been to the dealer on two separate occasions and they were unable to duplicate the problem. The consumer was concerned that this may cause a vehicle crash if this issue continued. When decreasing speed to 15 mph or lower the brake pedal would begin to push back and tremble. There would also be a spring like noise which would sound like the abs when engaged in winter driving conditions. The rear wipers were inoperative. Also when the defrost was on, the vehicle idle would go up extremely high, then drop, stall out and sometimes the abs would activate when driving conditions were normal.

While parking, the vehicle's rubber cover on the brake pedal slipped off the pedal, causing the consumer's foot to slide off the pedal and hit against the accelerator pedal, which in turn, caused the vehicle to lurch forward and hit a concrete wall. The dealer was notified. The air bag did not deploy. The consumer stated that a bent plate across the bottom of the pedal lever was the cause of the failure and accident.

I found out that the anti-skid brake system on my car had problems, which comes with a recall by national highway traffic safety. I contacted my dealer(Honda) but I was told that my car is not covered. I read your recall history, which indicates that my car belongs to those having this problem lately. However, since the dealer is not willing to provide free service and parts as to my request, I have to report this issue to the appropriate dept. The found problem is when I was slowly driving this car and needed to press brake, but the car kept moving forward, which I did not feel the brake applied. I almost hit bypassing. It took unexpected long time to stop the vehicle. I believe that there must be problems existing with my car.

While driving under any braking conditions vehicle would have extended stopping distance. Driver contacted the dealeship.

The dealership did not have the parts for the antilock brake system recall 02 I 002 001, within a reasonable time.

When the anti lock brakes were applied, the brake pedal traveled to the floor, which caused the vehicle to experience extended stopping distance.

The dealership doesn't have the parts for abs recall 02 I 002 001 repairs for months.

While coming to a stop sign consumer depressed the brakes, vehicle never slowed down, and ran through the intersection. Vehicle had four brakes jobs done, and was still having the same problem.

While driving on uneven pavement brakes will lock up, and it will be hard to control vehicle. Dealer notified.

Brakes will not stop vehicle if road surface is bumpy. Today, vehicle felt like it was not going to stop and almost caused an accident. The braking system has never been good.

Abs system was not working properly while driving, back tires locked up, and vehicle started to swing from side to side before consumer regained control. Contacted dealer, and dealer noted that there was a problem, but still was unwilling to do anything.

Brakes malfunction intermittently resulting in extended stopping distances. Vehicle has been serviced by dealer twice, however problem still exists. Feel free to provide any further information. See 10039844 for more details.

The incident dated 12/21/01 occured as the vehicle exited off the freeway in san pedro, CA. My brother was driving and was aware of the previous brake problems that have occurred in rainy conditions. The vehicle followed the offramp at 25 mph. We had ample distance between the us and the car in front. As the car came to a slow down, my brother stepped on the brakes but they did not work. There was a rumbling sound as the tires kept rotating. He veered over to the lane to our left so as not to hit the car in front of us. The vehicle continued to slide about 10 more feet on its own until my brother pulled on the emergency brake. As this was happening an 18 wheeler truck was approaching from behind us. Fortunately he was able to stop, the screeching of his brakes was loud, and although our bumpers were touching no one or no vehcile was damaged. The other two incidents of the brakes locking up also occured in rainy conditions. The first happening on the day I bought the vehicle. Again, fortunately no other car was in front of me or for sure I would hvae definitely had rear end collisions as my vehicle slid about 2 feet after the brakes were pressed. Also, in very hot temperatures (90-100 degrees) the brakes when pressed make the vehicle rumble loudly to the point where the rear view mirror shakes for about 3 seconds. The other ongoing problem has been the screeching and squealing of the brakes from the day the vehicle was purchased.

Abs module went bad. It would make a constant motor noise even without ignition on.

No summary listed for above vehicle.

Vehicles abs system seems to activate at very low sppeds thus rendering them ineffective, braking becomes poor, vehicle continues to roll at low speeds with the brake applied and while on dry pavement.

We rear-ended the car infront of us because the anti-lock brake system engaged when there was no reason to do so. We were stopped at an intersection on a hot, clear day, when the light turned green and the car infront of us moved into the intersection, turning left, stopping to let oncoming traffic pass. I was prepared to slow down and stop to allow the traffic to pass. As I applied pressure to the brakes, we heard a noise come from the engine compartment, and proceded to rear end the vehicle infront of us. Unfortunately, I only carried liability coverage on the truck, so I was facing having a non-operable vehicle or a $3,500 bill to fix the damage to the front of the truck. We made several claims to Honda of America, which were processed, but in the end, the stated that they would assume no liability (must have stepped on the accelorator I was told). I am setting up an email account to pool our resources, information, stories and results together. Please email me if you would like to see my letters to and from Honda of America at Passport_brakes@yahoo. Com. I would like to hear how other people have dealt with this issue.

On a number of occasions when brakes are applied in a panic stop they fail to respond, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer has been contacted. Please give any further details.

Anti-lock brakes regularly release/fail while braking and traveling over large bumps. An example: while braking downhill to make a right turn, I traveled over a large bump in the asphalt. The brakes disingaged even though I will still pressing on the peddle. I had to remove my foot and re-engage the brakes. This has happend to me for times, and is well known among late model Passport and rodeo owners.

When applying brakes while going over a bump pedal went to floorboar, resulting in extended stopping distance, and causing a collision. Also, states since the collision there has been extended stopping distances intermittently. Consumer has disconnected abs system. Please provide additional information.

While attempting to stop and make a turn brakes went completely out, causing vehicle to hit a light pole. Same defect previously occurred w/o an accident. Dealership did not recognize defect. Consumer's insurance company had advised consumer to report complaint due to concurrent problems.

Abs kicked-in on dry road resulting to exceedingly long stopping distance. Also has axceedingly stopping distance on wet road. Abs seemed to prevent the car to stop.

We ran into the back of another vehicle at an intersection. He was stopped and we attempted to stop. The brakes did not work and we continued to roll into the crv. We have reported this problem several time to the local Honda dealerships. The problem is the brakes will randomly stop working even though we are applying maximum pressure, they will "chatter" as the dealer described it. They have acknowledged the characteristic but say we have to live with it. It supposedly is a design issue. The abs senses some wheel anomily and disengages the brakes and re-engages them rapidly but not rapidly enough and the vehicle contiues to go forward. We have rolled through stop signs, lights, into intersections, etc. This time into a vehicle. Fortunately, we were not hurt but it only a matter of time until a major injury or death occurs. Again the dealerships have acknowledged the characteristic but say they can do nothing to "fix" it because techinically it is not broken. A techinician said the fix is "off the record" and they disconnect the abs during service and do not connect it again giving regular brakes back without the abs. I requested this to be done but they cannot do it leagally. My insurance company is farmers insurance and the agent warren aldous is located in kemah/seabrook, TX area.

When applying brakes vehicle would jerk intermittently. Dealer notified and nothing could be found.

Experiencing problems with the abs brake system.

No summary.

When applying anti-lock brakes, brakes would release and then grab, causing extended stopping distance.

The problem that I started having with the truck at about 10000 miles is that the vehicle continues to accelerate on its own when I release the acellerator and press the brake. The problem has persisted for quite some time despite numerous trips to the Honda dealership. In August of 99 I took the car into the Honda dealership in albany, GA and they informed me that the problem was due to an electrical problem. They said it was fixed. I took the car into the same dealership in November of 2000. They kept the car for two days and said that they identified the problem and that the problem was with some of the electrical connectors. The problem was not fixed. The vehicle is currently at the Honda dealership in newburg, NY where they have just informed me that they did not identify a problem with it. Four days ago I nearlly ran over three women who live in my housing area because the truck would not stop when I attempted to. The only way that I was able to stop the forward movement of the truck was to quickly place the truck into neutral to disengage the transmission. There is a serious problem with this vehicle and I fear for the safety of my family and others.
