DRIVING APPROX 45 MILES PER HR. PASSPORT SUDDENLY PULLED US INTO THE LEFT LANE. WE WERE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO CORRECT LANE AND PULL VEHICLE OVER. DROVE DIRECTLY TO OUR MECHANIC AT APPROX 20 MILES PER HR. FOR ABOUT 2 MILES. HE LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAID TRAILING HEAD WAS BROKE FROM FRAME AND FRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY DRIVE UNABLE TO DRIVE. BOTH SIDES ARE BROKE AT TRAILING HEAD AND RUSTED SO BAD YOU CAN PUSH AND BREAK A HOLE IN THE FRAME. THE FRAME IS THE ONLY RUST ON THE VEHICLE. WE WERE LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING TOWARDS US AND THAT WE WERE NOT GOING VERY FAST. THERE WAS NO PRIOR NOTICE, ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR VEERED LEFT INTO THE OTHER LANE AND IT WAS HARD TO GET IT CONTROLLED AND INTO THE CORRECT LANE AND PULLED OVER. *TR

THE ENTIRE FRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH AND BASICALLY DETERIORATING. I CAN LOOK UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE AND SEE HOLES WHERE THE METAL SHOULD BE AND SEE IT FLAKING OFF. I COULD EASILY POKE A HOLE RIGHT THROUGH IT ON JUST ABOUT ANY POINT ON BOTH THE FRONT AND THE REAR. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A FEW YEARS NOW BUT IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE, TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T THINK IT IS REALLY SAFE TO DRIVE. I SAW ON THE NEWS RECENTLY WHERE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES LITERALLY FALLING APART AND BREAKING IN TWO. THE NEWS STORY STATED THE YEARS 1998-2008 BUT MY 1997 IS EXACTLY THE SAME UNDERNEATH. *TR

THE FRAME IS RUSTED OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY BACK TO WHERE THE CONTROL ARM AND BODY MOUNTS MOUNT TO THE FRAME. I AM NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE NOW AS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS UNDRIVEABLE. THE LAST TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE IT BEGAN TO SHAKE, TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH AND APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES TO MY DESTINATION (HOME). I SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 TO 40 MPH (ON THE FREEWAY) AND PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND DROVE IT STILL SHAKING BUT SOMEWHAT CONTROLLABLE AT THIS POINT. APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES FROM HOME, I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, UPON ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP I HEAR A VERY LOUD CLUNK FROM THE REAREND AND THE VEHICLE IS SHAKING AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I DROVE HOME AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SEE THAT THE CONTROL ARM IS ALMOST DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS AND A FRAME REPAIRERS LOOK AT IT AND THE MECHANIC SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT AND THE FRAME REPAIRER SAID 1600.00 TO 2000.00 TO FIX IT (BASICALLY REPLACING THE ENTIRE FRAME RAIL ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND PART ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AS IT IS STARTING TO RUST NOW AS WELL). THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE FRAME REPAIRER FOR AN ESTIMATE ON MAY 13, 2010 BUT HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE INCIDENT ON MARCH 5, 2010. *TR

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS, EQUIPMENT
I OWN A 1998 HONDA PASSPORT, I BOUGHT IT IN 2008, AND WAS UNAWARE OF THE RUSTING PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION AT ALL BECAUSE OF THE RUST ON THE FRAME, AND THE AXLES. THAT THE TRUCK IS NOT AT ALL SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE RUST OF THE FRAME. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE GAS TANK IS ALSO ROTTING OUT, BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH RUST UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK ON THE FRAME. I DID PAY A MECHANIC TO FIX SOME OF THE FRAME,AND AXLE TO WELD SOME NEW METAL ONTO THE FRAME, BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP IN THE INSPECTION PROCESS, THE TRUCK STILL FAILED TO PAS INSPECTION. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR OVER A YEAR NOW AND I HAVE NO WAY TO FIX IT, OR DRIVE IT. *TR

THE FRAME OF MY 1998 HONDA PASSPORT RUSTED AND BROKE IN OCT 09 WHILE AT SCHOOL. IT COST ME OVER $1500.00 TO HAVE IT WELDED (REPAIRED), SO I COULD DRIVE IT HOME. WHEN I GOT IT HOME IN MAY I HAD MY GARAGE CHECK THE CAR'S REPAIR JOB AND CONDITION. THE WELD JOB ON THE LEFT MID-FRAME HELD, BUT THE REAR OF THE FRAME WAS IN BAD SHAPE. THE REAR OF THE FRAME AND COIL SPRINGS ETC. HAD TOTALLY RUSTED AND DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT THE CAR WAS SAGGING AND UNSTABLE AND UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE BODY, ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION ARE FINE. THE FRAME ACTUALLY HAS HOLES RUSTED THROUGH IT AND CRUMBLES IN YOUR HANDS. THE CAR IS ECONOMICALLY UNREPAIRABLE AND I HAVE TO JUNK THE CAR. I HAVE LEASED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. *TR

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. *TR
