Suspension Problems of Honda Passport - part 1

When I'm driving my 2023 Honda Passport my steering wheel vibrates/shakes feels almost like the wheel is gonna come off. When I turn my steering wheel left or right driving or parked I hear a loud knock noise coming from under the front of my car. I have had multiple things checked and looked at and brand new tires and no matter what. When I get an alignment my car still pulls one way or another. I thinks its the steering gearbox.

Rear tires wearing out inside prematurely due to wheel alignment got off, install all new tires and did wheel alignment and found out that camber adjustment required to fix the issues but repair shop and even Honda dealer can’t adjust camber settings since camber is not adjustable in 2019 Honda Passport. Honda dealership told me to go somewhere else and have them install aftermarket camber adjustable kit? totally unacceptable. If can’t fix this problem then my tires will wear out prematurely again. Honda should recall this and have it replace with adjustable camber.

My frame was rusted throughout at 130k miles the car's rear trail arm mount on the frame detached and almost caused me to run into on by traffic numerous times at 25 mph. Only once I stopped to pick up my sons from school the car's rear trail arm detached completely from the frame, I had deemed it undrivable and called for someone to come by and tow it back home. On my own further inspection, I noticed an absurd amount of rust in the rear left side, and holes in the frame. As well as I said the rear trail arm detached from the frame.

Purchased this automobile that have a vibration while riding in every type of roads that I noted after riding back home from the dealership. At the moment of the initial test drive this condition wasn't noted since we test drive a Passport ex-l trim model. I went to the dealership (appointment on record) and informed the service department of the issues. I waited at the dealership for 2. 5 hrs and they informed that they verified the alignment and wheel balances and nothing was found. I returned home and called back the dealer and informed that vibration condition still occurring. They suggested to change the 4 tires and wheels since maybe a from factory issue. I asked the dealer to perform a test ride on a new similar unit. We did it, drove the new unit and no vibrations found, so that is not a normal operating condition. Dealer test drive my automobile and noted that the vibration still there on the driver's seat and steering wheel. I went to the dealership again and left the car for correcting the vibration issue. They still working on the same service order and didn't closed the previous one. Today, they changed the front right tire (doesn't looks new) and they mentioned that they redo the wheel balances. After a second repair attempt, while driving back home I noted that the vibration stills. During the ride back home I noted that while breaking, the automobile was vibrating also now. New issue. My automobile was left at the service department for a complete verification with their technicians. I asked them before delivering the automobile to me to perform a final test drive inspection with the shop foreman after correcting the issue. As a note, vibration condition happens in newly asphalted roads, old asphalted roads, highways, FL turnpike, everywhere. I feel unsafe with these vibration conditions.

The plastic gas tank is about to fall out of the metal casing that surrounds it, it is almost completely ate away. There is also a frame crack due to rust on the passenger rear frame behind the rear tire. The mechanic advised that we not continue to drive this car until the issue has been resolved due to our safety. . Read more...

The rear trailing arm has broken away from severe frame rust. There was a recall for this exact problem in 2010 but it only recalled cars from the northeastern states. This car was not recalled even though it is and has been in alaska. I believe the environmental conditions here are just as severe as the northeastern states and the recall should extend here also.

The frame on my Passport broke. Come to find out my frame is rotted. I'm happy I wasn't on the interstate and going a reasonable speed or who knows what might have happened to me and my family. I see now that this is a common thing with these Passports. I find it crazy that there is a recall for the 1998 but not the years before even though they have the same issues. Honda outsourced the work to isuzu to be cheap and ended up with a defected product. So Honda wich is a major corporation gets rewarded for being cheap while us normal people trying to make ends meet end up with a junk car that's worthless. I see these on the road still and I keep my fingers crossed for the people driving them. Please make Honda fix this problem.

Driving started to sway slightly for no apparent reason, on the way home there was a sudden grinding and loss of control over the vehicle staying in one lane, I pulled it over to the side of the road and looked at it. The rear trailing arm rusted and separated from the frame. Hundreds of complaints over this issue as well as complaints that canada is reimbursed and in the us it is hard to get the proper compensation. Had the vehicle for two years, were assured there were no recalls when we bought it from a dealer, we were never informed of any recalls while owning it. Vehicle has recalls on rust and the frame that Honda said expired, but they had us tow our vehicle to Honda center then offered 100 dollars to us after the tow fee was deducted or we could pay 1800 to fix it. We had it in a safe place that would have given us much more money for totaling it out because he wouldn't fix it due to the repair still being unsafe. This is this particular service centers way of getting unsafe Honda's off the road.

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.

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?.

I took my Honda Passport to fox Honda, to get the recalls looked at and they said that the frame was rusted out and that it was unsafe to drive, so they said the recall for the frame had ended already so they couldn't do anything about it. They let me drive the Honda off there lot knowing that I could get in a wreck. Theres got to be a mandatory recall on these Passports and get them off the road. Its just not going to kill you but other people too.

Same as NHTSA: 10v436000 campaign. Defect consequence: excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash.

Last year I noticed rust that had become a gaping hole in the lower part- rear axle frame of my Honda Passport's . Recently when I was driving real axle frame cracked with a loud noise. Temporary welding is done . I checked with Honda service, car body repair and local mechanic -no one assured that it can be fixed. And finally it makes the car impossible to sell. Please help me on this. I am the third owner VIN 4s6cm58wxx4419339.

I purchased a 2002 Honda Passport used, I recently heard a noise under the car and when checked part of the frame was broken. I looked online and found a recall, never notified about it. I called a dealer and waited 5 days and called them again and they set up an appointment for me. I took the vehicle in and was told that it is unsafe to drive and they will not release it to me. They said that is is not the tracking link that is the problem, it is the frame. This vehicle should be recalled for the frame rotting not just the tracking links. Honda is very unprofessional and this is a serious problem.
