2001 HONDA PASSPORT IS UNDER RECALL DUE TO THE SUSPENSION BRACKET RUSTING OFF THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. MOST VEHICLES ARE BEING DEEMED UNREPAIRABLE DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME. HONDA HAS BEEN DOING BUYBACKS QUIETLY ON VEHICLES, SOME FOR DECENT OFFERS AND SOME FOR RIDICULOUSLY LOW OFFERS. HONDA NEEDS TO RECALL ALL 1998-2002 PASSPORTS IN SNOW STATES WITH THE CONDITION OF THE FRAME. FRAMES ARE SO RUSTY THAT THERE ARE HOLES IN THEM, QUESTIONING THE STABILITY OF THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY. THE VEHICLE ARE UNSAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD AND HONDA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS DOING LITTLE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
