Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed that my 1999 Honda Passport had a recall for the suspension. I called the dealer here in lexington ky don jacobs and set up an appointment. The day before my appointment I called to verify that they had the parts that was needed and was told that they could not fix my vehicle because they could not get the parts or tools to repair my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11195978, filed 2019-04, 225,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10323795, filed 2010-04, 105,000 miles“I have a 1999 Honda Passport that has a corrosion problem in the left back rear lower link to the frame. It is rusted to the point where there is a big crack between that piece and the frame. It was noticed today when I mounted new tires on the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10290733, filed 2009-11, 159,125 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10332353, filed 2010-05, 116,387 miles“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.”
