The contact owns a 1999 Honda Passport. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated that the rear suspension lower link bracket was fractured due to excessive corrosion. In addition, the mechanic stated that the vehicle was not repairable because the frame was also corroded and the bracket could not be welded back onto the frame. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number: 10V436000 (suspension) but was advised by the manufacturer that the VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000...updated 04/18/13 the consumer stated he finally found a frame restoration shop.

Noticed that fuel gauge is not working properly because it went empty even though I have a tank full of gas. I did some internet research and found out that this is related to a defective 'fuel sending unit'. it affects Honda Passports and Isuzu rodeo vehicles. My SUV Honda Passport fuel gauge is not working due to bad float chamber on the pump component has manufacturing defects. My fuel gauge has started fluctuating wildly. The most common thing though, is that it reads out of gas shortly after a fill up. This is the same model as an Isuzu rodeo and the problems are duplicated there. I want to make sure a recall happens and that it covers the Honda as well.

When the Passport was purchased in may of 2002, the fuel light intermittently blinked. The problem was diagnosed by Honda cars of concord (nc) as a "fuel sending unit." estimated cost, including labor was $500. I decided to keep track of fuel by calculating the mileage because this "wasn't a warranty problem" because I bought it "pre-owned." that problem was minor compared to what came next. I noticed the transmission acting funny by skipping and revving hard. When I took it in for the dealership to check the transmission fluid, (because you can't do this yourself), they informed me that the transmission needed to be replaced. I couldn't believe it. This vehicle has just under 47,000 miles ! after further investigation, I see where scores of others have the identical problem around the same amount of miles. No recall "?" since the car is now valued at less than the payoff because of the transmission problem (negative equity) I am forced to pay for a vehicle that has a short life left and very little mileage. Please help me ! thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

1999 Honda Passport jerks and makes grinding noises. While accelerating, driving or stopping the vehicle would jerk and make a grinding noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but they couldn't find the cause of the problem. When the gears were changed the panel control lights indicated that the vehicle was shifted into low gear. The rear wipers failed and the dealer replaced the wiper/washer switch. The ABS light illuminated. The dealer replaced the antilock PCM.
