I was driving about 25 mph and someone pulled right in front of me requiring me to slam on the brakes. I heard something snap or break in the rear of the car. It was very hard to steer, the car seemed to wiggle and sway. I pulled over as soon as I could, within a half block. I looked for a flat tire, nothing seemed wrong so I tried to drive home. There was a horrible rubber scraping sound from the left rear. I got out again and saw that the tire was wedged against the wheel well. I called a wrecker and had it towed to my mechanic. As soon as he saw it the mechanic called me and said, "your car is totaled, the frame is rotted out." So I had to have the car towed back to my home. My neighbor also owns a 2000 Honda Passport and he told me that there had been a recall for the frame, suspension for my model and year. I found the recall #10V436000 at www.hondaproblems.com/recalls/Passport/2000/ I called Honda on Monday, December 9 to report that I had never received a recall notice and asked if they could help me. I had read about a buyout program. The rep said that the recall was only good for two years and had expired, there was nothing she could do to help me. This is a serious part of the car, had I been on the interstate I could have had a horrific accident. Honda knew they had a problem, how can they limit the repair to two years" there were 149,992 vehicles involved in this recall, is there anyone that can help me"

There is a recall out for a 2000 Honda Passport campaign# 10V436000. The mechanics we took it to originally said that what was described under the consequences of this recall is what was wrong with our vehicle so they couldn't work on it. That we had to take it to a Honda dealership. When we did this they said our VIN number was not included in this recall even though that is the exact problem we are experiencing. That is excessive corrosion may result in the left or right rear suspension lower link bracket becoming detached from the frame, which can affect vehicle handling and potentially cause a crash. My son told us about the car being all over the road and the original mechanics that looked at the car said this was the problem. Therefore I believe our 2000 Honda Passport should be included in this recall. At the moment the Honda dealership has not repaired the vehicle. They said they would need to take it over to the body shop to get an estimate. There was no accident involved, my son was just driving the car for his job as a delivery driver of a sub shop.
