Consumer Description

MY FRAME ROTTED OUT ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TRAILING ARM LINKAGE, BREAKING FREE WHILE DRIVING. WAS ABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE UNTIL I GOT INTO A PARKING LOT. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO MY FAMILY'S GARAGE AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE DAMAGE, EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF FRAME WERE MISSING. PUT IN SOME PATCHES IN ABOUT A TWO TO THREE FOOT AREA ON THE FRAME. FAST FORWARD 2 YEARS, RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE TRAILING ARM RUST PROBLEM FROM HONDA. CALLED HONDA BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A TRAILING ARM ISSUE, IT IS A FRAME ISSUE. I GOT A SPECIAL CASE NUMBER, BRING IT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIP. TWO DAYS LATER THEY CALL AND SAY EVERYTHING IS ALL SET AND LOOKS GOOD. I GET THE VEHICLE BACK AND CHECK IT OUT. THEY SPRAYED SOME BLACK STUFF THAT DOESN'T DRY ONTO THE TRAILING ARM LINKAGE, THEY DIDN'T EVEN COVER THE AREA OF FRAME THAT WAS WELDED IN, JUST THE LINKAGE. WOULDN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FRAME HAD ROTTED OUT AND WAS WELDED. THIS IS A FRAME ROT ISSUE NOT A TRAILING ARM WELD BREAKING. THE FRAME WAS IMPROPERLY COATED, AND ROTS ON THE ENTIRE BACK HALF OF THE CAR. *TR
