Replying to: howardru (Jul 27, 2009 5:29 pm) Resubmit your info to NHTSA. I had to do it 2 times before I received a response/claim #. That was months before I received this e-mail letter. You also have to open a case with Isuzu or Honda, whichever vehicle you own. Actual case #, not just a phone call to them. File a complaint with the car company. Read my info on carcomplaints.com - 1998 Honda Passport, go to body/paint, click on body. I have been pursuing Honda America since January 2009. I am just trying to get as many Rodeo/Passport owners out there to contact Mr. Rinehardt so we can push the automakers to do the right thing. So far, I have been one small voice against Honda. They have ridiculed me, and treated me like I was nothing, but I dogged after Honda anyway. So, I am celebrating just that fact that this is going forward, where ever it goes.

Replying to: marinaky (Jul 27, 2009 5:58 pm) Thanks Marinaky,   I already have a Isuzu Case # and NHSTA Case # from whent his happened last month. Still never got anything from NHTSA.   Either way, I already completed the paperwork, answered the questions and attached detailed photos of the rusted control arm. Already FAXed to him tonight and have a hard copy going out in the mail tomorrow.   Thanks for the heads up. That's 2 voices now!

Better yet, why wait for the U.S. Postal Service to lose your letter to Derek L. Rinehardt. Here is his email address so that you can email him your letter and photos!    drinehardtdot.gov

Well, I contact Isuzu in California and was told it was not a "big problem" and that i was virtually the only complaint they had about frame rust and rot. We were told the car (2001) was totalled with 80,000 miles on it. So, we did have it fixed as the insurance told us it was not there problem and Isuzu told us it was not there problem and we owed $ on this car. It looks brand new....   Any ideas??/   Bbrown55 Replies to this message: howardru (Aug 10, 2009 4:40 pm)

Replying to: marinaky (Jul 26, 2009 12:57 pm) I just got my 2001 Honda Passport inspected today. Great news it passed inspection with needing nothing done to it. BUT I was in shock when my mechanic told me that the vehicle has a bad corrosion problem with the frame and it will pass for now but come next inspection it will most likely need some replacement welding done to it and down the road it will just get worse. I couldn't believe it...it has only 58,000 miles on it! I was wondering, should I still file a complaint even though nothing has broke on the frame yet? -Jon Replies to this message: howardru (Aug 10, 2009 4:43 pm) marinaky (Aug 10, 2009 4:51 pm)

Replying to: bbrown55 (Aug 06, 2009 4:46 am) That is a bunch of BS!   I made the same call when my Axiom rusted through almost 2 months ago and he said, he never heard of it. Maybe this guy didn't but I even gave him the NTSB open report referencing this problem and he said he never heard of that either.   Plausible deniability is their modus operandi. I even called out the NTSB open investigation into the problem and the guy told me the same thing....that he never heard of that. Isuzu is claiming ignorance but they'll be paying the price soon enough.   At least I got mine totalled and got a bit of money.

Replying to: jonjag (Aug 07, 2009 12:18 pm) Dude, you are riding a death trap.   The car will be totalled once it rusts through. File a complant with the NTSB (see my earlier posts on the PE Action #.). File a complaint with Isuzu north America.....and finally....ditch the car in the Cash for Clunkers program because you'll be buying a new car soon enough...   You've been warned!
