Consumer Description

I TOOK MY CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR REGULAR SERVICE ON AUGUST 7, 2012. THE MECHANIC CALLED ME AND SAID THAT ELEMENTS OF THE REAR SUSPENSION, PARTICULARLY THE REAR AXLE LOWER LINK BRACKET MENTIONED IN THE 1998 HONDA PASSPORT RECALL - #00V058000, AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THE REAR SUSPENSION, WERE SO CORRODED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER TO ADDRESS THE RECALL MENTIONED ABOVE, AND AT THAT TIME THEY APPLIED AN ANTI-CORROSIVE COATING TO THESE AFFECTED PARTS. THIS SOLUTION DID NOT SEEM TO WORK. AT THE TIME, SOME OWNERS OF THE MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE HAD THEIR VEHICLES BOUGHT BACK BY THE MANUFACTURER. I FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED THAT OPTION. INSTEAD, A VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME THAT WAS UNSAFE TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY. *TR
