FRAME ON VEHICLE WAS DEEMED "UNREPAIRABLE" BY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, DUE TO RECALL ON VEHICLE. AFTER CONSULTING LEGAL ANGLE FOUND THAT THERE IS A 10 YEAR WINDOW ON CAR MAKERS BACKING THEIR PRODUCT. IRONIC THAT THE RECALL CAME OUT AFTER 10 YEARS, HONDA KNEW OF THIS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WAY BEFORE THE 10 YEAR WINDOW BUT DID NOTHING. THE FRAME ON THIS CAR LITERALLY WAS CLOSE TO COMPLETELY FLYING OFF, AND SOON THAT WILL CAUSE SEVERE INJURY NOT ONLY TO OWNERS OF THAT MODEL CAR BUT ALSO OTHERS INVOLVED. HONDA DID NOTHING TO TRY AND BUY OUT OWNERS, THEY JUST WANT THE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD TO ELIMINATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES IN ANY LAWSUIT THAT MAY COME FROM THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

THE FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE LEAF SPRING IN THE BACK TO FALL DOWN. MY REAR END IS NO LONGER HELD IN PLACE AND CAN FALL OUT FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. IT'S A 97 HONDA PASSPORT. OTHER WISE MY VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION INSIDE AND OUT WHICH MAKES ME SICK TO KNOW THAT THE FRAME IS GONE. *TR

REAR TRAILING ARM FELL OFF OF THE FRAME DUE TO MAJOR CORROSION. WE HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL #10V-436. SERVICE DEPT STATED THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS RUSTED THROUGH THEREFORE THEY HAD NOTHING TO ATTACH THE RECALL BRACKET TO. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR THE ENTIRE FRAME NOT JUST THE BRACKET. IT BROKE WHILE BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY. THANKFULLY WE WEREN'T DOING 70 ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING EXTREME FRAME CORROSION OF BOTH THE FORWARD AND REAR FRAME MEMBER. THERE ARE LARGE PERFORATIONS IN MULTIPLE AREAS ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE FRAME, AND I DON'T SEE ANY WAY TO REPAIR OTHER THAN A COMPLETE FRAME REPLACEMENT. WHY IS THE DIVIDING LINE FOR THE RECALL 10V436000 SET AT THE 1998 MODEL YEAR? THIS IS THE SAME BASIC VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ROTTED FRAME AS THOSE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE DOORS SHOULD ROT OF A VEHICLE LONG BEFORE THE FRAME BECOMES AN ISSUE. *TR
