STRUCTURE:BODY
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

AS DRIVING MY PASSPORT I NOTICE SWAYING FEELING ALL OVER THE ROAD AND IT IS VERY LOUD WHEN EVER YOU HIT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED IS THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE. THE FRAME IS RUSTED BAD. IT IS FULL OF HOLES AND MISSING PEICES. CURRENTLY AT HONDA DEALER WAITING FOR THE CASE MANAGER TO CONTACT ME AS IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ACCORDING TO HONDA AMERICA. SO FAR OFFERED NO RENTAL OR NOTHING JUST NO CAR. *TT

STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
I HAD TO JUNK MY HONDA PASSPORT BECAUSE THE BRACKET THAT HELD THE WHEEL TO THE FRAME DETACHED DUE TO CORROSION WHICH I WAS TOLD WOULD NOT BE SAFE IF ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR IT. TWO YRS LATER THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT EXACT THING. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HONDA CLAIMS THE COULD FIX THIS WHEN NO ONE ELSE COULD AND WHY WILL THEY NOT COMPENSATE FOR MY LOSS. SORRY BUT AN EIGHT YR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT JUST FALL APART. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 HONDA PASSPORT AND I JUST HAD A RECALL DONE ON IT FOR THE BRACKETS. THE BRACKETS WERE INSTALLED OVER THE RUSTED FRAME. STAGE 4 REPAIRS WERE DONE ON MY PASSPORT. ITS NOT ONLY THE FRAME RAILS THAT RUSTED AWAY. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS 132000. I HAVE NOTICED THE ENTIRE FRAME FROM FRONT TO BACK RUSTING. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. CAN AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. I FEAR ONE DAY THE WHILE DRIVING THE FRAME WILL FALL OFF AND CAUSE A SERIOUS INJURY. LITTLE PIECES FROM THE FRAME FALL AND CRUMBLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA PASSPORT IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THE FRAME SNAPPED IN THE BACK. HONDA HAS RECALLED THE BRACKET BUT NOT THE FRAME. THEY ARE CLAIMING IT'S NOT THE MANUFACTURERS FAULT THAT THE FRAME ROTTED AWAY DUE TO THE SALT THAT IS USED ON THE ROADS IN THE WINTER. THE FRAME ON MY PASSPORT IS COMPLETELY ROTTED WITH NO WAY OF FIXING IT. *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

ON AUGUST 23, 2010 MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY 2000 HONDA PASSPORT ENTERING INTERSTATE 75 IN OHIO WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS ON SPINNING ON ICE. SHE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS GOING TO ROLL OVER BECAUSE IT WENT UP ON 2 WHEELS, LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED BEFORE ANYTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. AT THE TIME SHE WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR. HAD SHE BEEN GOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THIS HAPPENED I AM AFRAID SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SO LUCKY. THERE WAS NO WARNING FOR I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED JUST FINE. THE CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE FRAME WHICH IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE STABILIZER BAR BROKE AWAY FROM THE FRAME DUE TO RUST. THE WHOLE FRAME IS RUSTED WITH HOLES THAT YOU CAN STICK YOUR FINGERS THROUGH. THIS CAR IS NOW JUNK. I AM VERY UPSET AT HONDA FOR NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND RECALLING THIS VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE DIED. WE NOW HAVE A PIECE OF JUNK SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY. *TR
