2000 Honda Passport Complaints

NHTSA RECALL 10V436000 PERFORMED IN EARLY 2011. "PERFORMED LINK BRACKET INSPECTION AND STAGE 1 REPAIR OP: 4195A2" NOW, 4 YEARS LATER.

JUST READ WEB INFO ON FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY AFTER GAS TANK IS ABOUT HALF FULL ON HONDA PASSPORTS. MY VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE MOVES SIGNIFICANTLY ON TURNS AND AT TIMES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES WHEN TANK IS ABOUT GAS 1/2 FULL. THIS JUST STARTED HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD APPROX 87K MILES ON IT. WHEN GAS TANKED IS TOPPED OFF - USUALLY AROUND 8-10 GALS - EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING FINE AGAIN. HEARD HONDA MAY HAVE ANNOUNCED A RECALLED THIS FOR HONDA PASSPORTS BUT UP TO YEAR MODEL1999. BUT GIVEN THE SAME SYMPTOM AND JUST STARTED HAPPENING ON MY YEAR 2000 VEHICLE ..THINKING ALL YEARS SHOULD BE INCLUDED. I HAVE NOT TALKED TO DEALER YET. HONDA MAINTAINS A GREAT REPUTATION AND SHOULD OFFER AN EXPANDED RECALL. GIVEN THE AGE, THE VEHICLE IS LIKE NEW AND OTHERWISE RUNS FANTASTIC AND I HAVE LOW MILAGE ON THE VEHICLE. WOULD IMAGINE THE SAME PARTS USED IN 1999 PASSPORTS (FUEL SENDING UNIT/LEVER) IS SAME IN THE YEAR 2000. THANK YOU FOR FURTHER RESEARCH AND INFORMATION TO HONDA PASSPOR...

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH AND SOMEONE PULLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME REQUIRING ME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. I HEARD SOMETHING SNAP OR BREAK IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. IT WAS VERY HARD TO STEER, THE CAR SEEMED TO WIGGLE AND SWAY. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD, WITHIN A HALF BLOCK. I LOOKED FOR A FLAT TIRE, NOTHING SEEMED WRONG SO I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME. THERE WAS A HORRIBLE RUBBER SCRAPING SOUND FROM THE LEFT REAR. I GOT OUT AGAIN AND SAW THAT THE TIRE WAS WEDGED AGAINST THE WHEEL WELL. I CALLED A WRECKER AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. AS SOON AS HE SAW IT THE MECHANIC CALLED ME AND SAID, "YOUR CAR IS TOTALED, THE FRAME IS ROTTED OUT." SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. MY NEIGHBOR ALSO OWNS A 2000 HONDA PASSPORT AND HE TOLD ME THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE FRAME, SUSPENSION FOR MY MODEL AND YEAR. I FOUND THE RECALL #10V436000 AT HTTP://WWW.HONDAPROBLEMS.COM/RECALLS/PASSPORT/2000/ I CALLED HONDA ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 9 TO REPORT THAT I HAD NEVER RECEIVED A RE...

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION EVERYWHERE OTHER THAN THE REAR FRAME. I HAD NO IDEA HOW BAD THE RUST WAS UNDER THE VEHICLE IN THE REAR. I BOUGHT THE SUV 1 YEAR AGO IN AUGUST FOR $2700 WITH 121,000 MILES. I TOOK EXCELLENT CARE OF IT & ON 10/3/13 I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY WHICH WAS A 55 MPH SPEED LIMIT. AS I ACCELERATED MY FRONT END WOBBLED BACK & FORTH BAD AND AT 25 MPH MY SUV DARTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD & I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES MISSING THE GUARD RAIL. BY 1 FOOT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME DUE TO MY DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE WAS PINCHEDINTO MY REAR BUMPER. MY BODY SHOP GUY SAID THE REAR TRAILING ARM RUSTED RIGHT OFF THE FRAME & ESD MOST LIKELY NOT FIXABLE UNLESS I WANT TO SPEND OVER $1500 TO HAVE THE FRAME CUT OUT & TRY TO FIND GOOD METAL TO WELD TOO IF THERE IS ANY. AN THE OTHER SIDE IS BAD TOO. I HAD NO IDEA THIS COULD HAPPEN &I HAD MY PASSPORT AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. 6 MONTHS AGO & ASKED THE GARAGE BOSS IF THERE WAS ANY REC...

I WAS TOLD ABOUT A FRAME RECALL ON MY 2000 PASSPORT, I CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AND ASKED THEM TO END SEND ME 49.00 + TX TO HAVE MY CAR LOOKED AT. I PAID, THEY TELL ME MY CAR DOES FALL UNDER THE RECALL BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS, AND THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. COME TO FIND OUT THE PERSON THAT OWNED MY VEHICLE WAS TOLD BACK IN FEB 2012 THAT THE FRAME WAS BAD, SO THEY TURNED AROUND AND SOLD THE CAR, IT WENT TO AUCTION AND NOT DISCLOSED TO THE PERSON I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM IN MAY 2012. I TOOK THE CAR TO HAVE IT ALIGNED THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT ALIGN THE CAR BECAUSE THE FRAME IN THE FRONT WAS RUSTED AND HAS HOLES IN IT, AND NOW WE HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR FRAME WAS FILLED WITH GRAPE FOAM AND COVERED OVER WITH UNDERCOATING THAT COVERED UP THE HOLES IN THE FRAME. WHAT DO I DO, HONDA WILL NOT BACK THIS VEHICLE OR HONOR THE RECALL. I DO NOT HAVE ALOT OF MONEY AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO JUST PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WORK FOR A DEALER...
