1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/20/2023

The rear trailing arm broke loose from the frame causing the wheel to twist back into the wheel well. It is now at my garage and could be inspected. This happened at about 45 miles per hour causing me to take evasive action so as not to cause an accident. There was no warning lamps affiliated with the suspension system.

2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 09/28/2022

The rear trailing arm became detached from the unibody due to rust/rot. This caused the rear tire to shoot sideways and backwards causing the vehicle to no longer be drivable. The vehicle has spent its life in wisconsin, new york, and vermont. As it happened on the road close to my house it was not assessed by any service center, but it is very obvious what happened. I pulled the vehicle back to my house myself. I can provide pictures as proof and I still have the vehicle in my possession (it has obviously been taken off the road). My problem is exactly what is described in the most recent Honda crv recall NHTSA#23v228 or Honda #xdz. Since my crv is a 2004 it apparently does not qualify for the above recall. . . But it very obviously is the same thing and really should be covered by Honda. If they issue a recall on a certain year range but that same issue happens on a different year are we just supposed to sit back and say "OH well"? my family could have been very hurt if that component broke while the vehicle was on the highway. There has to be someone who can help with this. All that I've gotten from Honda is "your VIN doesn't match the recall". I realize this. . . But the same exact issue happened to my 2004 crv. Now I have a vehicle that should be worth $4,000+ worth absolutely nothing unless I scrap it out. . . This is a known design flaw.

3 Suspension problem

4 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2017

During test drive the vehicle stalled upon braking. Thus leading to 3rd party inspection request. Upon receipt of photos and estimate for safety repairs notice a counter offer was sent to the dealer to which they declined to repair or reduce the vehicle. I have concern that the vehicle will return to the lot and an unknowing buyer will be at risk.
