1 Underbody Shield problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2012

The driver's side linkage that connects the rear axle to the frame separated completely due to corrosion. I took it to Honda for the recall, which service bulletin 10-079 states Honda will pay for vehicles less than 10 years old at the time of the recall (sept 2010)), and they determined the damage was so bad that they would not attempt to fix the vehicle. I feel I should be reimbursed for my vehicle since the defect has caused such extensive damage as to render the vehicle unsafe.

2 Underbody Shield problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2011

A few years back my trailing linkage on both sides of vehicle rusted away from frame. The drivers side was first and I was traveling at 50 mph. Hit pot hole and drivers side linkage broke off. Causing me to fish tail in traffic and almost crash. Now I have two cracks in my frame and the rear cross member is rusted through. I have also had the fuel tank support fixed and welded back onto my truck. This will cost me thousands to fix to hopefully make it a drivable vehicle again. Or. American Honda can buyout these vehicles from these owners.
