As an auto repair shop specializing in foreign vehicles, Fremont Foreign Auto has serviced countless Honda Passports over the years. We understand the most prevalent issues that Honda Passport owners face in the Fremont area and greater Bay Area region of California. By having your Passport serviced regularly at our shop, you can stay ahead of problems before they worsen and lead to costly repairs down the road.
Fuel Pump Failure
One of the most frequent issues we see in Honda Passports is fuel pump failure. The fuel pump is responsible for delivering gasoline from the fuel tank to the engine. When it fails, symptoms include difficulty starting, stalling, sputtering during acceleration, and decreased fuel economy. At our shop in Fremont, we test the fuel pump and related components with advanced diagnostic equipment. If the pump is faulty, we replace it with a new Honda OEM pump to restore proper fuel flow. Preventative fuel system maintenance can reduce the chances of fuel pump failure.
Suspension Problems
With age and mileage, the suspension components on your Honda Passport can wear out. Common symptoms include uneven tire wear, pulling to one side when braking, vibrations through the steering wheel, and excessive bouncing. Our technicians thoroughly inspect the shocks, struts, control arms, tie rods, ball joints, bushings, and other suspension components. We replace any worn parts with high-quality aftermarket or Honda OEM parts, as needed, to restore a smooth, even ride. Regular alignments and balancing your tires can help prevent suspension issues.
Transmission Issues
Automatic transmission problems are another common issue we address on Honda Passports. Symptoms include delayed gear shifting, hard shifting, slipping between gears, and trouble accelerating. At our shop, we diagnose transmission issues through a thorough inspection and test drive. Replacement or rebuilding of damaged internal components may be needed. We also recommend periodic transmission fluid changes to keep your Passport’s transmission running smoothly.
Electrical System Malfunctions
As a modern vehicle with complex electronics, electrical issues can arise on your Passport. Some common symptoms are a flickering check engine light, power windows not working, radio display cutting out, and problems with door locks or climate control. Our technicians use computerized diagnostics to pinpoint the source of electrical gremlins. From there, we can repair wiring harnesses, connectors, sensors, control units, and other components to restore proper electrical operation.
Brake System Repairs
Safe, reliable braking is a must for any vehicle. With wear, Honda Passports may develop issues like brake squealing, pulsation or vibration when braking, soft or spongy brake pedal feel, and longer stopping distances. At our shop, we thoroughly inspect your Passport’s brake components including pads, rotors, calipers, lines, hoses, and brake fluid. We replace any severely worn parts and service items that still have life left according to Honda’s recommendations. This keeps your braking system in top form.
Ignition System Services
When ignition system components fail on your Passport, it may have trouble starting, stall at idle, misfire, or run roughly. Faulty ignition coils, spark plugs, crankshaft position sensors, and camshaft position sensors can lead to these drivability issues. Our technicians use diagnostic testing to pinpoint the exact cause. We can replace individual ignition components or recommend a complete tune-up if needed to restore smooth performance.
Muffler and Exhaust Repairs
Over years of use, the exhaust system on your Passport may rust and develop leaks. Telltale signs include increased engine noise, the smell of exhaust fumes inside the cabin, and failing an emissions test. At our shop, we thoroughly inspect your Passport’s entire exhaust system including the catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, muffler, and piping. We have the latest equipment to expertly repair leaks and damage. This keeps your Passport running quietly and passing emissions tests.
