Noticed rust on driver side frame rail.

Type: Vehicle, Vehicle: 2006 HONDA RIDGELINE, Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Incident: Apr 2024
May 2023

My vehicle was recalled for the rusting rear frame (Honda Case # [XXX]) which I took into the local Honda dealer (Stafford Brown in Arlington VA). The service manager at the dealer explained the subframe is rusted extensively to the extent that it is a safety issue. The service manager noted, while the vehicle passed the required Honda test specified in the Honda recall, it is a hazard, and the vehicle would likely fail the same test in 6 to 12 months. The service manager noted they can only address what is specified in the recall. The manager submitted the concern and pictures to the Honda DPSM. The manager also provided me with a copy of the pictures. I also submitted the pictures, to include the email from the service manager to Honda USA. Honda USA rep, Ms [XXX] , (case # [XXX]) contacted me and apologized for the situation I am in but offered no means to address the safety concerns. Honda could not explain why they have no remediation for the rust issue that is still a safety hazard when the recall was for rust. Honda is not addressing the issue that they responsible for and was required to remedy by NHTSA, which is rust. I am attaching the pictures and emails sent to me by the Honda Service Manager.

I contacted the dealer on 9/21/22 regarding recall number 22V-430 and was told parts were ordered to complete the repair. I was given case number 13491172. I called several times and made a complaint with Honda Customer Service regarding the delay in having the repairs completed. As of today, 6/4/23, I am still waiting to have the repairs completed. It has been well past the 60 days from the date the dealer was first contacted. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

THE ODOMETER SEEMS TO TURN MUCH FASTER THAN THE DISTANCE I'VE TRAVELED, MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND THE ODOMETER IS ALREADY UP TO 31,500 MILES. I ONLY HAVE TO DRIVE IT FROM HOME TO WORK (ABOUT 10-15 MILES A DAY). I'VE CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MATTER. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER MORE SERIOUSLY. THANK YOU *TR
