| Check engine keeps coming on & off.. when making a left hand turn and/or engaging the left hand turn signal; this causes the horn to sound. after taking the vehicle in numerous times costing $130.00 to run the test i am told they are not able to find anything wrong. this is very troubling as i have a toddler and this is certainly a safety concern not to mention a budget breaker as this has cost me approximately $1000.00. i finally decided to stop taking it in as the only outcome was a little less money in my money and the failures still occurring. this as been on going since 2003 when i purchased the vehicle. *nm | |||

| Have been experiencing knock in the valves. have taken the truck to multiple repair facilities and it is stated as being normal for the passport/rodeo vehicles. statements have been made by other owners of that same vehicle. isuzu/honda say it has to do with type of gas/oil used. i have only ever used the recommended 5w30 with 87 octane. i have no where else to go. everyone i talk to knows that it is a problem, but there is no fix or bulletin posted.*ak | |||
