My vehicle was recalled for the rusting rear frame (Honda Case # [XXX]) which I took into the local Honda dealer (Stafford Brown in Arlington VA). The service manager at the dealer explained the subframe is rusted extensively to the extent that it is a safety issue. The service manager noted, while the vehicle passed the required Honda test specified in the Honda recall, it is a hazard, and the vehicle would likely fail the same test in 6 to 12 months. The service manager noted they can only address what is specified in the recall. The manager submitted the concern and pictures to the Honda DPSM. The manager also provided me with a copy of the pictures. I also submitted the pictures, to include the email from the service manager to Honda USA. Honda USA rep, Ms [XXX], (case # [XXX]) contacted me and apologized for the situation I am in but offered no means to address the safety concerns. Honda could not explain why they have no remediation for the rust issue that is still a safety hazard when the recall was for rust. Honda is not addressing the issue that they responsible for and was required to remedy by NHTSA, which is rust. I am attaching the pictures and emails sent to me by the Honda Service Manager.

I contacted the dealer on 9/21/22 regarding recall number 22V-430 and was told parts were ordered to complete the repair. I was given case number 13491172. I called several times and made a complaint with Honda Customer Service regarding the delay in having the repairs completed. As of today, 6/4/23, I am still waiting to have the repairs completed. It has been well past the 60 days from the date the dealer was first contacted. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

My truck keeps skipping and stalling I've had everything done with my truck that can be done except ive never had the fuel pump relay inspected so please is there any way that I could have this checked at no cost and I do believe this is a safety issue since my truck could just stall out and cut off at any time and I have a 5year old child. This is about the 4th time I'm reporting this to you. And I do know there is a recall with the fuel pump relay.

When I first bought this vehicle I had a problem with it at 41,000 miles. The fan motor dial would not turn on correctly. I could be driving then if I hit a bump in the road the fan motor would turn on. Now you have to play with it until it turns on to it won't work at all. I think it may have something to do with the wiring because my inside lights don't work right as well. Map light one side works and the other doesn't. I replaced parts and it still doesn't work.

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that there was a water leak inside the vehicle, which caused the carpet padding to mold. He was treated for respiratory infections due to the mold. There was a service bulletin issued in July of 2005 for this failure. The current mileage is 24,000 and the failure mileage was unknown.

The odometer seems to turn much faster than the distance I've traveled, my vehicle is less than 2 years old and the odometer is already up to 31,500 miles. I only have to drive it from home to work (about 10-15 miles a day). I've called the american Honda and I've been told that there are several complaints about this matter. Therefore, I would like you to look into this matter more seriously. Thank you
