Failure Date: 05/02/2017

My car is involved in the recall 10v436000 buy back program but the dealers as well as Honda itself will not follow the NHTSA guide lines they are making excuses and lying to me about responsibility this car has 111,000 miles on it and should last a very long time but the frame is completely rusted and cannot be driven and the electrical problems are all over because of the frame movement . I believe that there are other recalls on this vehicle but Honda refuses to take responsibility for anything .

3 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2013

I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle. It is in great condition everywhere other than the rear frame. I had no idea how bad the rust was under the vehicle in the rear. I bought the SUV 1 year ago in August for $2700 with 121,000 miles. I took excellent care of it & on 10/3/13 I was making a right hand turn onto a highway which was a 55 mph speed limit. As I accelerated my front end wobbled back & forth bad and at 25 mph my SUV darted to the right shoulder of the road & I slammed on the brakes missing the guard rail. By 1 foot. I had to have it towed home due to my driver side rear tire was pinchedinto my rear bumper. My body shop guy said the rear trailing arm rusted right off the frame & esd most likely not fixable unless I want to spend over $1500 to have the frame cut out & try to find good metal to weld too if there is any. An the other side is bad too. I had no idea this could happen &I had my Passport at the Honda dealership. 6 months ago & asked the garage boss if there was any recalls the vehicle missef or if there is anything I should. Watch out for & he said no. I could have been killed if I would have been going faster. How does a 13 year old vehicle rust out that fast? Honda should be held responsible for selling unsafe vehicles.

4 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/23/2013

I was told about a frame recall on my 2000 Passport, I called Honda directly and asked them to end send me 49. 00 + TX to have my car looked at. I paid, they tell me my car does fall under the recall but I would have to pay for repairs, and they also tell me that my car is unsafe to drive. Come to find out the person that owned my vehicle was told back in Feb 2012 that the frame was bad, so they turned around and sold the car, it went to auction and not disclosed to the person I bought the car from in may 2012. I took the car to have it aligned the dealership would not align the car because the frame in the front was rusted and has holes in it, and now we have discovered that the rear frame was filled with grape foam and covered over with undercoating that covered up the holes in the frame. What do I do, Honda will not back this vehicle or honor the recall. I do not have alot of money and can not afford to just purchase another vehicle to get back and forth to work. I work for a dealership in ithaca and when Toyota had their frame recalls, people were put into rental cars, and the vehicles were fixed or bought back. Honda does not seem to care!!!!! what do I do?.

As driving my Passport I notice swaying feeling all over the road and it is very loud when ever you hit the slightest bump. Driving at a very low speed is the only way to drive. The frame is rusted bad. It is full of holes and missing peices. Currently at Honda dealer waiting for the case manager to contact me as it is not safe to drive according to Honda America. So far offered no rental or nothing just no car.
