1999 Honda Passport suspension problems

“my frame was rusted throughout at 130k miles the car's rear trail arm mount on the frame detached and almost caused me to run into on by traffic numerous times at 25 mph. only once I stopped to pick up my sons from school the car's rear trail arm detached completely from the frame, I had deemed it undrivable and called for someone to come by and tow it back home. on my own further inspection, I noticed an absurd amount of rust in the rear left side, and holes in the frame. as well as I said the rear trail arm detached from the frame.”

“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA PASSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SON WAS DRIVING AND THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE SUSPENSION DETACHED FROM THE FRAME. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE CONTACTS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V436000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO THEM NOT BEING THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THE RECALL EXPIRING, THERE WAS NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE THAT COULD BE PROVIDED THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 122,000. UPDATED 06/02/17*LJ *CN”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA PASSPORT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE REAR SUSPENSION SUPPORT SYSTEM WAS RUSTED AND SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 220,000.”

“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.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 HONDA PASSPORT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SWAYED TO THE RIGHT. THE BUMPER AND TRAILER HITCH BECAME DETACHED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SWAYING ABNORMALLY FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND THAT THE VEHICLE ALSO SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR AXLE AND BUMPER WERE EXTREMELY RUSTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS 10V436000 (SUSPENSION) AND 00V058000 (SUSPENSION). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 129,523.”
