The rear trailing arm has broken away from severe frame rust. There was a recall for this exact problem in 2010 but it only recalled cars from the northeastern states. This car was not recalled even though it is and has been in Alaska. I believe the environmental conditions here are just as severe as the northeastern states and the recall should extend here also.

My local las vegas Honda dealership inspected my vehicle for a recall related to: The forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link may experience excessive corrosion. The Honda dealership replaced no parts, and simply treated the area with an anti-corrosive compound. Three weeks later, my auto mechanic told me the vehicle is unsafe for driving due to the frame having rotted away entirely in places. He was able to poke holes in the remaining frame with his finger because the steel was rusted through so badly. My mechanic indicated that I should have the vehicle towed to the junkyard immediately. However, the engine, drive train, interior, and body are all in good or excellent condition. This is clearly defective and/or inferior the frame materials used by Honda. My dealership sent me on the highway with a clearly unsafe vehicle!

There was a recall on the corrosion of the lower trailing link frame brackets. The recall was done on 9/13/2011. We took the SUV to our mechanic to have new tires installed and he informed us that the bracket that holds the spring was gone and the other one was going due to corrosion. The Honda dealer that did the recall never informed us of this problem even though our mechanic said they should have spotted it. The driver side spring in the back is resting on the body and could have resulted in a accident if it moved. I have talked to the Honda co. Awaiting results.

Approximately 15 months ago we took the vehicle into the Honda dealership because the engine light came on. The car was put on the lift to determine the problem and they pointed out to me that they saw rust on the frame and they felt it was probably unsafe and too expensive to fix. We then went to another mechanic shop to confirm this since the car had up to that point passed regular state safety inspections and had been maintained. We have records to prove this. The second mechanic made a repair to fix the engine light problem and said he also saw the rust but felt it could be used for local driving. We contacted Honda about the rust problem and they denied any fault with the product. We have since learned that many similar complaints were made. The rust became so great so that the shock tower completely tore loose from the body, both left and right sides. We were then forced to junk the car as of October 2010. Honda waited to communicate with us about the recall until December 2010 even though they were aware of this many months before. They say that because we no longer own the car we are not entitled to any compensation. We told them had we been informed about the recall when they were working on this we never would have junked the car. Everything about the car was in good shape. The outside body looked like new and had this rust not occurred to the degree it did we would still have use of the car.

Noticed that fuel gauge is not working properly because it went empty even though I have a tank full of gas. I did some internet research and found out that this is related to a defective 'fuel sending unit'. it affects Honda Passports and Isuzu rodeo vehicles. My SUV Honda Passport fuel gauge is not working due to bad float chamber on the pump component has manufacturing defects. My fuel gauge has started fluctuating wildly. The most common thing though, is that it reads out of gas shortly after a fill up. This is the same model as an Isuzu rodeo and the problems are duplicated there. I want to make sure a recall happens and that it covers the Honda as well.

My 1999 Honda Passport has a rear stabilizer bar holding the wheel in place that is welded onto the frame. The stabilizer bar has rusted off the frame (or "ripped" off the frame while I was driving), causing the wheel to become loose. This vehicle swerved all over the road until I got it stopped. The vehicle is un-drivable and was towed away. There were no warning signs of this going bad. I am still unsure what the fix would be, as it is the frame that is bad.

I am seeing problem with the truck sliding sideways on slippery roads when making turns. This happen more often when making left turns. The whole vehicle tends to move sideways and this has already caused one accident. I have taken it to the dealer but they haven't been able to find the cause.
