1997 Honda Passport, sedh3, Eastman, GA, December 15, 2009 17:06

I love my 1997 Honda Passport EX, it's 4 wheel drive if I ever need it. It has a sunroof/moonroof which I have never used due to the fact that it has a round hand crank to open, don't mind that part except it will only "lift up" about 2 - 3 inches in the "open" position.
Now that it's older, it leaks when it rains. NOT GOOD.
I would love for anyone out there to please let me know of any suggestions. I have acually hand sealed the roof window closed with Silicone ! Only to have it wear away with time and
weather. It's leaking once again. Not sure how, but the gallons and gallons of water sound like they are "stored" under the passengers seat. I actually hear it sloshing around if I brake or pull off fast. I would love to find out if there is a rubber seal that can be purchased somewhere so I can just replace the original "dry-rotted" one. That seems to be my only last idea. Anyone out there with an idea would be greatly appreciated.
I can be contacted by email at sedh3@yahoo.com
MANY THANKS ! Love Honda's, this is my 5th one.

1994 Honda Passport, HondaOwner, Naples, FL, January 27, 2009 14:51

I have owned this 1994 Passport since new. This Passport has been an excellent vehicle.
1. Body, Interior & Misc.
a. Interior does not have cup holders.
b. Interior todate is original and like
new. Very little wear.
c. Luggage rack. The luggage rack could
be a little stronger with longer
primary slide rails.
2. Brakes
a. Brakes are strong. Smooth braking.
3. Drive Train
a. Well balanced. Smooth.
b. Transmission. I am on my 2nd
transmission due to a Honda Service
Center not refilling after service.
Other than this issue. No problems.
4. Electrical & Lights
a. Reliable and easy to locate a loose
ground wire.
b. I have replaced two alternators.
5. Engine
a. Original engine is going strong,
occasionally I get a little tapping
valve noise but it doesn't stay.
I have the original engine, it's never
been overhauled. It does not burn oil
and the engine does not leak any
fluids.
6. Exhaust & Emissions
a. The exhaust has been replaced one time
from the convertor back. No problems
with emissions.
7. Heating & Air Conditioning
a. Heater core was replaced in 2007.
Always great heat when needed.
b. Air Conditioning
System was totally replaced in 2006.
A/C in 2008 was not consistantly
blowing cold air. Shop found the power
relay sending signal to compressor was
weak. Replaced relay, A/C now blows
cold air when selected.
8. Suspension & Steering
a. Suspension is original. Performing Honda recommended regular maintence the suspension is flawless.
b. Steering. The HYD steering was rebuilt
in 2006. Like new again, works perfect.
No leaks.

I'm very diligent about having the Passport serviced regularly. Per the maintence schedule published by Honda. I know this Passport is labeled as a Rodeo, but believe me it is NOT entirely a Rodeo. The Passport rides much better and smoother than the Rodeo. My Passport will exceed 250,000 miles in 2009. I'm looking forward to driving it 500,000 miles plus. I would recommend the Honda Passport to anyone looking for a good ride and reliable performance. To maintain my Passport in a like new condition, I spend on average $1,500.00 annually. This includes tires, wipers, etc. The vehicle looks great, it's safe, and reliable. Keeping in mind this year vehicle has solid chrome steel bumpers, built to last. I've been hit by two other cars, they both had major damage while the Honda barely showed a scratch.

1995 Honda Passport, hemicuda, San Mateo, CA, January 15, 2009 11:38

Hard on brakes and leaked oil from day one

1997 Honda Passport, lawrenceg, Beaverton, OR, December 08, 2008 13:25

This was my first Honda and it sure didn't live up to the expectations I had. I later found out it's an Isuzu Rodeo! The engine and transmission leaked oil, and the alternator went out. It didn't have very good power and didn't handle well.

Since it really is an Isuzu, I may try Honda again, but I'll make sure it's really a Honda!

Horrible Gas and oil consumption.

Honda Passport Problems

Brakes
  • Certain models can get a brake squeal at the end of a stop due to the front brake pads leaving a film on the rotors. Replacing the brake pads and turning the rotors will fix this issue.
  • On some models the rear wire harness for the ABS system can fatigue and break causing the ABS light to come on. Replacing the harness with a new updated harness from Honda repairs this problem.
Engine
  • On the V-6 engine, oil in the spark plug tubes can cause a misfire. Resealing the tubes and replacing the spark plug wires will repair this issue.
  • Short fuel injector "leakdown" can cause a long crank time after the engine is warmed up. The fuel injectors need to be replaced to address this problem.
  • Varnish build up in the engine can cause one or more hydraulic lash adjusters to stick and cause a ticking noise in the engine.  The noisy hydraulic lifter will need to be located and cleaned to stop the noise.
Exhaust & Emissions
  • On some models the PCM software delays idle speed changes during cold starts causing stalling problems. A software update from Honda will repair this issue.
  • On certain models contamination of the grease on the gas pedal potentiometer causes the Check Engine light (MIL) to come on and may cause a rough idle. The potentiometer will need to be replaced and adjusted to fix this problem.
Suspension & Steering
  • Dry suspension components can cause a spring type pop when it moves. Lubricating the suspension will stop the noise.
  • On certain 2WD models the front hub can leak grease. Installing a new updated gasket from Honda will repair the leak.
Drive Train
  • Chattering when cornering can occur when the limited slip differential fluid breaks down. Replacing the fluid will repair this issue.
  • A worn vehicle speed sensor driven gear can cause the speedometer not to work. Replacing the worn out speed sensor will fix this problem.
Electrical & Lights On certain models the door checkers can contact  the door wiring harness and damage the wires causing blown fusees and no sound from the door speakers. Repairing the wires or replacing the harness and routing it away from the door checkers will repair this issue.
