Frame Rust Problems of Honda CR-V

Honda is aware of an issue affecting many Cr-v's. Honda has recently issued a recall of the 2007-2011 model-year Cr-v's in canada for a rusting problem that could result in a rear suspension control arm separating from the vehicle. This recall applies to vehicles in all provinces from ontario east, which experience heavy road salt usage and humid operating environments. Dealers were instructed to inspect the rear frame stiffeners and to apply corrosion protection. When a vehicle does not pass the inspection, Honda will offer to repurchase it. My son is 17 years old and is driving an affected Cr-v. We live near detroit in michigan. I contacted Honda USA and lodged a complaint. I was given the following case #013293139 and instructed to set an appointment with a local Honda dealership for an inspection. Following the inspection, I was told and given a service invoice which stated, "subframe inspection for Honda case number 13293139 tech found rear of frame rusted through, tech advised starting with removing rear part of frame and welding in new metal. Vehicle not safe to operate in current condition. American Honda will not cover repair. " this rust problem also affects other Honda vehicles and Honda is slowly issuing recalls. Recently, american Honda recalled 2006-2014 ridgelines for "rear frame corrosion. " I would like Honda to repair my son's Cr-v. This is not normal wear and tear. The corrosion problem continues to be focused on the rear driver side (subframe mounting to frame) of Honda vehicles. This is not safe for the public and this is not an acceptable response from american Honda as noted in the service invoice response listed above.

As I was driving down a city street, the right rear suspension control arm came loose from the frame. The right wheel tire subsequently became lodged against the rear of the wheel well at an angle. I was able to maneuver the car to the side of the road. Police arrived to block off the nearest lane so I could safely be towed from the scene, as the car was undrivable. I am fortunate that this did not happen at high speed, as I do not believe I would have safely been able to maintain control of the vehicle. The control arm came loose due to excessive rust on the frame. The area around the mounting location for the arm is torn away from the frame, the nuts and bolts are still attached to the fragments of frame they were originally mounted to. This model year crv is under recall for excessive corrosion in canadian provinces where road salt is extensively used in winter. This model was purchased in minnesota, where road salt is extensively used in winter.

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Cr-v. The contact stated that there were four quarts of water in the rear tire wells and there was an excessive amount of rust on the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was verified that the water had accumulated in the tire wells and diagnosed that the tire wells were not properly sealed, which caused the rear frame to rust excessively and need to be replaced. The rust was treated but the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
