I recently had work done on my 1995 1/2 Honda Passport for bad wiring on the fuel pump. Which turned out to be corrosion of the wiring on top of the pump. While under the vehicle my mechanic noticed how corroded the frame was and that it was rusting through. He called me out of concern and had me come down to look at it. He said it was bad behind the passenger side rear wheel and even worse behind the passenger side front wheel. It appears that the frame is almost completely rusted through. He recommended that I do not drive it anymore and that it is a danger to anyone on the road. This is the only vehicle that I own.

My 1995 1/2-1996 Honda Passport has been damaged beyond repair and classified as unsafe to drive. Last week while turning the vehicle from a complete stop off an exit, obviously at a slow rate of speed, it slid on some ice having the front driver's wheel hitting a low curb. Thinking the alignment was knocked out, I was totally shocked when the repair shop told me that the frame had cracked along with damage to the steering box. The vehicle was sent to a welding shop for the repair until I was notified that this was not the only spot with problems. Apparently the whole frame has numerous spots that are completely rusted through. In my research I have found that the Honda Passport was part of an agreement with Isuzu manufacturing of America in lafayette, Indiana to be manufactured. I have also found that Isuzu had a recall involving their vehicles made between 1993-1996 for weld problems on the frames. It involved the rodeo, trooper, pickup, amigo and the Acura slx. American Honda motor company never, from what I can see, recalled or notified anyone of the same problems with their vehicles. The incident that occurred, luckily did not involve any fatalities or injuries but clearly Honda should be discussing a buy back option for this inferior vehicle. I have and still own Honda vehicles that never have had this problem. I purchase Honda for their reliability, structure and safety. When this type of serious problem occurs with vehicles manufactured at the same plant and only one company notifies consumers, the other should be held accountable, even if after the fact. Please get back to me as soon as possible with a solution. I am now without a car and as you can imagine, it causes problems. Thank you.
