What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
My husband went off the freeway at speeds over 70 MPH, hit a fence and three trees. The last tree was head on collision, as was the fence prior to the tree. There was no airbag deployment on either the driver or passenger sides of the car. This is the first time in a wreck, the car is totalled and this is a big concern!
We own a 2000 honda passport, the frame rail roughed out and snapped off causing my wife to have an accident. Once rusted and snapped the rear end becomes uncontrollable. Please recall all passports and rodeos.
Vehicle started to accelerate while applying brakes to stop. Forced vehicle to rear end another vehicle. Dealer and manufaturer have been notified. Feel free to provide any further information.
Vehicle started making a grinding noise when turning or stopping. I was told when I brought it in for service I needed the rear differential replaced. I had the option of choosing a used part for $700 rather than a new one for $4000. Since I am short on cash, I opted for the cheaper. So no problem with that but now I need to have my manifold gaskets replaced.
Tl*the contact owns a 2000 honda passport. The contact released his foot from the accelerator pedal she noticed that the vehicle maintained at its speed until the brakes were applied. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer and there were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 85000.
