NHTSA Complaint #11170552 — 2006 HONDA PILOT

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR NYS INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC CALLED ME TO TELL ME HE CANNOT PASS THE INSPECTION. THE REAR SUB-FRAME HAS SEVERE CORROSION. THERE ARE LARGE SECTIONS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. HE SAID NO ONE WOULD PASS THIS VEHICLE'S INSPECTION. HE SAID THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF THE REAR SUSPENSION TOTALLY COLLAPSING RESULTING IN A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. HE SAID JUST HITTING A BUMP IN THE ROAD HARD ENOUGH WILL CAUSE THIS. SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN CORROSION THIS BAD ON A 12 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, EVEN IN NYS.
