I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 HONDA PASSPORT AND AS I TURNED A CORNER, IT FELT AS IF THE REAR WAS FISH TAILING BUT IT WASN'T VERY NOTICEABLE. I DROVE HOME AND LATER LEFT TO BRING MY DAUGHTER TO DRIVER'S ED AND AS I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I FELT AS IF I LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED ON A FLAT BED AND REPAIRED, THOUGH MY MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REPAIR WASN'T GOING TO HOLD FOR ALL THAT LONG DUE TO THE HORRIBLE RUST ISSUES ON THE FRAME. I HAD THE DRIVER'S SIDE "PATCHED" A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, IT DIDN'T PASS DUE TO THE FRAME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE! I'D PREFER FOR ALL OF THESE VEHICLES BE REMOVED FROM THE ROADWAY AND FOR THE DEALERS TO PROPERLY REIMBURSE THEIR CUSTOMERS. MY VEHICLE HAS LOST A LOT OF VALUE BECAUSE OF THE PATCHES MADE TO THE FRAME. I'M AFRAID I'VE LOST A LOT OF MONEY. *TR

I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS ALL THE OTHER HONDA PASSPORT/RODEO OWNERS WITH MY REAR SUSPENSION LINKAGE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT AND EXTREMELY UPSET FOR I PUT ALL MY MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE A RELIABLE TRUCK AT SCHOOL. NOW I AM UP A CREEK, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSING 2 JOBS DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE NO TRUCK. MY LINKAGE RUSTED OFF AT THE BRACKET WITH THE REST OF THE ROTTING FRAME ON THE FRONT SIDE (CLOSEST TO THE ENGINE) OF THE AXLE CHASSIS CONNECTING BAR. I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FAT I DIAGNOSED THERE WAS A MAJOR PROBLEM BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED. BUT NO IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS MY 1999 HONDA PASSPORT. *TR

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. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR A 2000 HONDA PASSPORT CAMPAIGN# 10V436000. THE MECHANICS WE TOOK IT TO ORIGINALLY SAID THAT WHAT WAS DESCRIBED UNDER THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS RECALL IS WHAT WAS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE SO THEY COULDN'T WORK ON IT. THAT WE HAD TO TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. WHEN WE DID THIS THEY SAID OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL EVEN THOUGH THAT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM WE ARE EXPERIENCING. THAT IS 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. MY SON TOLD US ABOUT THE CAR BEING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND THE ORIGINAL MECHANICS THAT LOOKED AT THE CAR SAID THIS WAS THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE I BELIEVE OUR 2000 HONDA PASSPORT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. AT THE MOMENT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO TAKE IT OVER TO THE BODY SHOP TO GET AN ESTIMATE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED, MY SON WAS JUST DRIVING THE CAR FOR HIS JOB AS A DELIVERY DRIVER OF A SUB SHOP. *TR

I HAVE A HONDA PASSPORT 2000 WITH A SEVERELY ROTTED FRAME. IT IS NOT IN DRIVABLE CONDITION DUE TO ITS ROTTED FRAME. I AM PUTTING OUT OVER 2 GRAND TO REPLACE THE FRAME EVEN THOUGH I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A DEFECT FROM HONDA MANUFACTURER. IT IS DEFINITELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY FALLEN APART. THIS HONDA PASSPORT MODEL NEEDS TO BE ON RECALL ENTIRELY BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER HONDA PASSPORT OWNERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SITUATION. *TR
