1999 HONDA PASSPORT Structurebody 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 LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT A NUMBER OF SITES HAVE NOTED THAT THE HONDA PASSPORT AND THE ISUZU RODEO (BOTH THE SAME CAR FROM THE SAME PLANT IN INDIANA) HAVE SPECIAL PROBLEMS WITH RUSTY FRAMES, BUT I THOUGHT I SHOULD...
