Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear trailing arm fell off of the frame due to major corrosion. We had it towed to dealership for recall #10v-436. Service dept stated the entire frame was rusted through therefore they had nothing to attach the recall bracket to. This recall should be for the entire frame not just the bracket. It broke while backing out of our driveway. Thankfully we weren't doing 70 on the highway.”
NHTSA complaint #10441431, filed 2011-12, 129,000 miles“My husband and I bought this vehicle a few days ago. Today he took it in to get a tune up and oil change. When the mechanic had the car lifted he recognized a significant amount of cracks/rust frame. The plastic gas tank is about to fall out of the metal casing that surrounds it, it is almost completely ate away. There is also a frame crack due to rust on the passenger rear frame behind the rear tire. The mechanic advised that we not continue to drive this car until the issue has been resolved due to our safety. …”
NHTSA complaint #10824308, filed 2016-02, 122,000 miles“2001 Honda Passport - recall for suspension:rear. I currently have my Honda Passport at the local dealer, awaiting information on how long repair will take. I am extremely worried the fix offered may not keep my vehicle safe to operate.”
NHTSA complaint #10378376, filed 2011-01, 164,155 miles“A few years back my trailing linkage on both sides of vehicle rusted away from frame. The drivers side was first and I was traveling at 50 MPH. Hit pot hole and drivers side linkage broke off. Causing me to fish tail in traffic and almost crash. Now I have two cracks in my frame and the rear cross member is rusted through. I have also had the fuel tank support fixed and welded back onto my truck. This will cost me thousands to fix to hopefully make it a drivable vehicle again. Or. American Honda can buyout these vehicles from these owners.”
NHTSA complaint #10558538, filed 2014-01, 98,000 miles“My vehicle is a 2001 Honda Passport 4x4 v6 with 73,000 miles. The frame broke right where the bracket for one of the arms in the rear suspension connects. This caused me to lose control.”
