| This is the third honda i have owned, but the only one with problems. the first two had over 300,000 miles combined....no problems. this really isn't even a honda, it is an isuzu. when i purchased the car, i was told that all parts inside and out were made by honda and that isuzu supplied only the seatbelts and the actual car frame. i have had the a/c blower replaced two times, the first time was under warranty. after the first replacement, the cd player stopped working and then the car started experiencing electrical problems. when i turned on the blinker, the a/c went out along with the auto transm. spent over $150 plus cost of rental car and honda said the probl. was with the trailer hitch. i did not pay for repair...they wanted over $600...however, when the car was given back, mysteriously the cd player begain working and so did the a/c...checked and they replaced the blower (although they said they didn't do anything) as soon as i picked up the car...no more problems during that time. a year later (no longer under warranty) the a/c blower works intermittenly, the transmission today just started to manually shift itself from 2 to 3rd gear and makes a hard clunking sound. a few months ago, it was shifting itself from drive to neutral or low and then back to drive. also, the fuel sending unit is inoperable...the tank registers empty and the light flashes constantly. heard this is a known problem for isuzu rodeos and passports. i even work with someone who has a 99 rodeo and has the same problems, but his fuel sending unit went out while he was under warranty. the honda dealer down here wants over $600 for repair. i feel mislead. i purchased honda due to success on my other two hondas. i could have saved over $10,000 and purchased an isuzu rodeo, but i thought by purchasing a honda, i was getting a reliable suv. i will never purchase another honda/isuzu again...i have gotten no support from the honda dealers. too many problems with this model! | |||

| The fuse for the electric door locks blows on an intermittent basis (usually within 4-30 days). the failure disables the electric door locks as well as the vehicle alarm system, keyless entry system and alarm panic button feature. vehicle is driven by a female (my wife). keyless/alarm were mandatory safety features that we required for vehicle purchase (standard equipment on this model). vehicle has been in 7 times for this problem. honda has been unable to repair. honda has replaced master door lock switch and found/repaired a wiring harness defect. problem continues uncorrected (keyless and alarm system are therefore not reliable). honda has added 12 or more additional fuses to the vehicle this has not corrected the problem. | |||
