my frame was rusted throughout at 130k miles the car's rear trail arm mount on the frame detached and almost caused me to run into on by traffic numerous times at 25 mph. only once I stopped to pick up my sons from school the car's rear trail arm detached completely from the frame, I had deemed it undrivable and called for someone to come by and tow it back home. on my own further inspection, I noticed an absurd amount of rust in the rear left side, and holes in the frame. as well as I said the rear trail arm detached from the frame.

Last year I noticed rust that had become a gaping hole in the lower part- rear axle frame of my Honda Passport's. recently when I was driving real axle frame cracked with a loud noise. Temporary welding is done. I checked with Honda service, car body repair and local mechanic -no one assured that it can be fixed. And finally it makes the car impossible to sell. Please help me on this. I am the third owner VIN no: [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Last year I noticed rust that had become a gaping hole in the upper part of my Honda Passport's upper frame. Then I noticed there were rust locations at various parts of the roof and rear. This car has been driven solely on oahu, so there is no issue of deicer or road salt having caused this, and I live miles from the ocean. The gaping hole is growing and this problem may be a safety hazard and it makes the car impossible to sell, which is something I'd intended to do soon, as my girlfriend will also start driving "our" vehicle and she's uncomfortable with a larger car. I looked online and found that a number of sites have noted that the Honda Passport and the Isuzu rodeo (both the same car from the same plant in Indiana) have special problems with rusty frames, but I thought I should report mine, too.
