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.

My 1999 Honda Passport was in need of a inspection sticker. I proceeded to the service station for my sticker when the right rear shock separated from the frame and was dragging on the road. I returned home and inspected the frame which was rusted and falling apart. The top coil spring mounts were pushed up against the body. The rear wheel stabilizer hangers are ready to let go. I called repair shops and was told these vehicles are not repairable because you can't weld on top of rust. My Honda now sits in my yard. It is drivable but would be a hazard to my life and safety as well as others.

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.

Frame rust around the spot where rear control arm is attached to frame. It is completely rusted thru. The part is still attached to the frame, but the frame itself has rusted through on either side and has separated from the vehicle. I heard some clicking noises and stopped vehicle to check it, and found the part totally separated from the vehicle frame, and proceeded to call a tow truck.

Car & steering wheel vibrate & shake so hard it tends to put my hands & arms to sleep. Honda does not consider this a safety issue. The car has been in the shop seven times to address this problem; they have only made the problem worse. Now Honda expects me to drive the car 45 more days while waiting for a "master mechanic" to find the time to work on the car. This is totally unacceptable, I do not feel safe or have confidence in this car. I have filed a BBB report and contacted a lawyer. It is also my understanding Honda/rodeo made over 30 changes in the suspension system of the 2000 models.
