I HAVE HAD MY 1995.5 HONDA PASSPORT SINCE NEW. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. THE BODY PANELS, INTERIOR AND ENGINE ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT 175,000 MILES. HOWEVER, UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DEEMED AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ENTIRE FRAME RUSTING OUT FROM BOTTOM UP. NO RUST ON ANY OF THE BODY PANELS, ONLY THE FRAME.

I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED FOR BLUE BOOK VALUE FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. I WAS TOLD THE ONLY PROBLEMS WERE THE BLOWER MOTOR AND REAR DOORS WERE STUCK CLOSED. I FIXED THOSE PROBLEMS EASILY AND BEGAN DRIVING IT TO WORK AND BACK EVERY DAY. AFTER PUTTING ABOUT 350 MILES ON IT, I HEARD SOMETHING SMACK THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND IN MY REARVIEW I SAW A CHUNK OF RUST ON THE ROAD. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND DISCOVERED THAT MY ENTIRE FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED WITH HOLES THE SIZE OF MY FIST IN ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT AREAS, SOME OF WHICH ARE KEY STRUCTURAL AREAS. AT WORK, I RAISED IT UP ON A LIFT AND HAD A WELDER TAKE A LOOK. HIS FACE TURNED WHITE AND SAID IT WAS WAY BEYOND A SIMPLE PATCH…
