I bought a 1998 honda passport at the auction in salem newhampshire on december 20, 2014, the vehicle has an estimate of 87;000 miles on it, which is why I bought the car in the first place on top of the fact that the vehicle appeared to be in good condition, however to my surprise after taking my car to the mechanic, I was told that the frame to the vehicle was extremely rotted and would most likely be a hazard. I was not aware that the vehicle was on recall for frame rot issues until today december 29,2014, I tried to receive co-operations from a honda dealer and was told that the recall was closed and that their was nothing they can do and simply apologized. What I do not understand is why would they leave a recalled vehicle on the market, wouldn't this be a violation of the lemon law? I believe as a recent honda passport owner, to a vehicle that has hardly been used, judging by the miles, I should be entitled to services from honda in regards to the recall that was "closed". Besides it was honda's error and it is their obligation to build safe vehicles for the consumer.

I took my honda passport to fox honda, to get the recalls looked at and they said that the frame was rusted out and that it was unsafe to drive, so they said the recall for the frame had ended already so they couldn't do anything about it. They let me drive the honda off there lot knowing that I could get in a wreck. There's got to be a mandatory recall on these passports and get them off the road. Its just not going to kill you but other people too.

I brought my 1998 honda passport in to have it inspected. I was told the entire frame including brackets were entirely rusted. It would not pass inspection and I was told it was unsafe to drive. I never received a recall notice about rust. I depend on my truck and my grandchildren have to ride in it. Please make this a mandatory recall, some one is bound to be killed by honda mistakes. (who knows how many accidents there have been.) I am the original owner and have had all upkeep done . Once again please make this issue a mandatory recall, for safety sake.
