2000 Honda Passport recalls

Recall 10V-436: Suspension

Reported Sep 22, 2010 · 149,992 vehicles affected · ISUZU MANUFACTURING SERVICES OF AMERICA

Problem: Isuzu is recalling certain model year 1998-2002 isuzu rodeo and model year 2002 isuzu axiom vehicles, and honda is recalling certain 1998-2002 honda passport vehicles, that were originally sold, or are currently registered, in the states of maine, new hampshire, vermont, massachusetts, rhode island, connecticut, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, delaware, maryland, the district of columbia, west virginia, ohio, indiana, michigan, illinois, wisconsin, minnesota, iowa, missouri, and kentucky. Vehicles that have experienced sustained exposure to highly corrosive materials used in some jurisdictions for road deicing purposes may experience excessive corrosion in the vicinity of the forward mounting point bracket for the left or right rear suspension lower link prior to the time that such corrosion would normally be expected.

Risk: 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.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the rear suspension lower link bracket area. For vehicles in which little or no corrosion is found, the area will be treated with an anti-corrosive compound. For vehicles in which corrosion has damaged the rear suspension lower link bracket and affected its connection to the vehicle frame, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In the rare event the corrosion is so severe that the reinforcement bracket remedy would not be appropriate, a repurchase offer will be extended to the vehicle's owner. All inspections and remedies will be provided free of charge for vehicles that are 10 years old or less. For vehicles older than 10 years, isuzu will offer a free remedy, but only if the vehicle is presented to an isuzu service facility, or honda dealer (As applicable), dealer within 12 months of when owner notifications were issued. The safety recall began on december 10, 2010. Isuzu owners may contact isuzu at 1-800-255-6727. Honda owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

My car is involved in the recall 10v436000 buy back program but the dealers as well as honda itself will not follow the NHTSA guide lines they are making excuses and lying to me about responsibility this car has 111,000 miles on it and should last a very long time but the frame is completely rusted and cannot be driven and the electrical problems are all over because of the frame movement . I believe that there are other recalls on this vehicle but honda refuses to take responsibility for anything .

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 87,000 miles · reported Jul 23, 2014
Just read web info on fuel gauge not reading correctly after gas tank is about half full on honda passports. My vehicle's fuel gauge moves significantly on turns and at times check engine light comes when tank is about gas 1/2 full. This just started happening when the vehicle had approx 87k miles on it. When gas tanked is topped off - usually around 8-10 gals - everything starts working fine again. Heard honda may have announced a recalled this for honda passports but up to year model1999. But given the same symptom and just started happening on my year 2000 vehicle ..thinking all years…
