Honda acknowledges to fix this issue but has failed to fix and does not compensate fairly for replacement vehicle or even down payment on a similar performing vehicle.

9/11/10 while driving 2001 Honda Passport, I heard a loud noise in the rear of the vehicle and simultaneously I lost control of the vehicle. It was towed on a flatbed due to extensive frame rot. The Honda dealer said the frame was so badly corroded there was no place on the frame that they could attach the lower link bracket back onto the vehicle. The loud noise was the lower link bracket breaking loose from the frame because the frame rotted through. I was told the vehicle was not road safe and needed a frame replacement. Since an ea had been opened Honda suggested I go to a garage that can bypass the corrosion and rig something up that would allow a temporary fix until a recall was issued. I did the repair at a cost of $1,200. 00, but it was not guarenteed or road safe for anything but side roads around town. Later a recall was issued on the lower link brackets. My lower link brackets are not defective they are fine and completely intact. The problem is my entire frame is corroded through all layers and is riddled with holes. The bracket cannot be attached because you cannot weld a bracket onto rust and holes. From the date of the recall both Honda of torrington and the independent garage that did the temporary repair said the vehicle was not road safe , fell well outside the parameters of the worst stage included in the recall and that my case would be reffered to Honda to negotiate a settlement. After months of calls to the dealer about the status I was told to bring the vehicle down for the recall repair. We requested to be present and did not authorize repairs unless we were. We called the dealer to ask when they would be calling us down. They said to arrive in one half hour because that's when they would be bring the vehicle in. When we arrived 20 minutes later, we were told a stage 2 repair was already done per the tech-line. Which consisted of spraying wax over an unsafe frame. They refused to put on our invoice that it was road safe.

We have a 1996 Honda Passport that we recently helped our daughter buy. Shortly afterwards we found out about the recall on these, and found that our model year (1996) was not included. Today we were having new tires put on her car and our mechanic called to let us know that the frame rot was more than we initially though, so much so that he highly recommended that the car not be driven any longer as it was not road safe. We have spoken with Honda, and were told to direct our efforts to the NHTSA. This car is now can no longer be driven safely, and we are looking for the NHTSA to have this recall extended to include the 1996 model year. This past weekend we ran into another 1996 Passport owner, and found they have the same issue. Now we had some of the frame rot repaired at a local welding shop, but did not know the full extent of the damage until today when our mechanic called us. The campaign for the current recall for the Honda Passport/isuzu rodeo is 10v436000.

I was driving my 2001 Honda Passport when it started jerking to one side after letting off the gas,but only slightly,like wind had hit the car all of a sudden. This went on for a couple days,and when I was going around a turn,I heard a loud noise,like something breaking and grinding,and the car started to shimmy all over the road. When I had it looked at,I was told its unfixable because there is frame rot where the rear suspension lower link completely rotted off the frame and the a-arm also completely rotted off. There are swiss-cheese like holes all through the frame. It is now undriveable. According to my research this is a known issue, and a possible recall. I very strongly agree that there should be a recall or class action lawsuit. I was very luck y that we were only going about 10 mph when it happened,or there could have been a serious crash. This is obviously a manufacturer error.
