Rear Suspension Coil Springs Problems of Honda Passport

The contact owns a 1999 Honda Passport. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change who notified him that the rear coil springs were faulty. The coil spring on the rear passenger side broke off the frame and was visible from the inside of the vehicle. Also, the entire frame was rusted out and was deemed unsafe to drive. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint and offered no other assistance. The failure and current mileage was 127,000.

My 1999 Honda Passport was in need of a inspection sticker. I proceeded to the service station for my sticker when the right rear shock separated from the frame and was dragging on the road. I returned home and inspected the frame which was rusted and falling apart. The top coil spring mounts were pushed up against the body. The rear wheel stabilizer hangers are ready to let go. I called repair shops and was told these vehicles are not repairable because you can't weld on top of rust. My Honda now sits in my yard. It is drivable but would be a hazard to my life and safety as well as others.
