Description of the problem	1997 honda passport - body in excellent shape. Interior - very nice. Frame is in horrific condition. The complete frame is extremely rusted from front to rear and in a very weakened state. Transmission cross-member support at frame is also rusted very bad. Front cab supports rusted very bad. The rear spring attachment, left side, rusted and collapsed. It came unattached from the badly rusted frame. Right side, rear, appears in very bad shape also. This frame has been patched and welded many times. It will continually need to be patched and repaired. Afraid if i hit a pothole, the suspension will rip away from the frame due to the severe rusted condition of the frame. Notice many passports in auto salvage yards with rusted frames. Sample frame pieces from passports need to be cut out and the metal analyzed for quality of materials that were used. I believe manufacturer is well aware of this situation and should stand behind this poor product and recall by sending notice to all owners of passports. Ford had frame issues and rusted body issues in the late 60's and early 70's and i believe it was from imported steel that was being used. Ford took care of their customers by making the necessary repairs for them. I witnessed this rust issue that ford had as i was a technician for ford at the time. Please do not disregard this complaint from me and the many other honda passport owners who are afraid to sell or trade in their suvs. Something must be done quickly!!
