1995 Honda Passport

THROTTLE STUCK ON 1995 HONDA PASSPORT/ISUZU RODEO RESULTING IN DEATH OF BUDDY THATCHER AT AIRPORT AUTO AUCTION IN ALCOA TN. SINCE THEN ANOTHER PASSPORT THROTTLE HAS STUCK WHILE BEING DRIVEN TO AUCTION. INVESTIGATION HAS SHOWN THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE CABLE HOUSING WHICH RESULTS IN THIS FAILURE--THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE AND I WANTED TO REPORT/CHECK TO SEE IF IT HAS BEEN REPORTED /ON OTHER YEARS AND MODEL--PASSPORT AND RODEO RAN FROM 1994 TO 2002. PROBABLE ISUZU TROOPER HAS SAME ISSUE. *TR

NAR 04/10/2003 THE CONSUMERS BACK DOORS STICKS SHUT AND THE CHILD LOCKS HAVE NEVER BEEN ENGAGED. IT HAS BEEN FRUSTRATING AND DISAPPOINTING FOR PASSENGERS TO HAVE TO CLIMB TO THE FRONT DOORS TO GET OUT THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER FEEL IF THE LOCKS WERE PROPERLY FIXED WHEN THEY WERE UNDER WARRANTY THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT HAVE CONTINUED. HE IS ASKING TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE AMOUNT OF $313.14 FOR DOOR LATCHES. *CB

CONSUMER WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BACK DOORS, THEY STICK SHUT EVEN WHEN THE LOCKS ARE IN THE UP POSITION, SOMETIMES THE BACK DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR POWER UNIT TO THE LOCK WAS INOPERATIVE AND REPLACED, ALSO THE CHECK LOCK CYLINDER ON THE LEFT FRONT DOOR FAILED, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. *SLC

THE LEFT REAR DOOR LOCK DOES NOT UNLOCK WITH THE OTHER DOORS; IT COMES UP HALFWAY BUT DOES NOT ALLOW OUTSIDE ENTRY. IT IS NECESSARY TO PULL UP THE INSIDE DOOR LOCK ALL THE WAY TO ALLOW ACESS FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CENTRAL LOCKING SYSTEM (ACTIVATED BY THE DRIVER'S DOOR) ACTIVATES BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS BUT NOT THE LEFT REAR DOOR. ALSO, THE ENGINE CANNOT BE STARTED ON THE FIRST TRY. THE STARTER ENGAGES BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT FIRE. ON THE SECOND TRY, HOWEVER, THE ENGINE WILL START. ALL MY OTHER VEHICLES START WITH "ONE CLICK"; REQUIRING ONLY MINIMAL CRANKING. THE ENGINE, A 3.2 LITER V-6, MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN RUNNING; ALMOST LIKE A SUBDUED DIESEL ENGINE. *AK
