Email I sent to Honda Corporate on XXX. I am contacting executive leadership regarding Honda Corporate Case # ***** My vehicle is currently grounded due to a safety recall and the frame is uninspectable and unsafe to drive per the dealership. A corporate case manager, Breanna, just informed me this afternoon that a buyback AND rental reimbursement will take “months or maybe years”. I was also told that the dealership has not even submitted or released ANY paperwork, even though it has been 2 weeks since the incident and 11 days since we contacted Honda Corporate. She also informed me that this would be one of several departments that I would have to go through. This is not only substandard customer service, but the processing issues are enormously cumbersome. I have already accumulated at least $83 per day since the rental began on XXX, when we were told that the Honda Dealership would not release a car overnight or rent us a car. At that time, we were told they needed to order parts, and they would fix it the next day. This rental car debt is because Honda failed to provide a safe vehicle or alternative transportation, and through no fault of our own. Telling a customer to wait years for a safety resolution is unacceptable. I request an immediate review of my buyback request and an immediate authorization for full reimbursement of my rental costs. Please also note that the PA Attorney General has been notified, as well as the Better Business Bureau, of the practices and stonewalling at Ciocca Honda of Hanover, as well as your obvious support through your lack of action.

SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Rust in the frame- missing parts - holes

STRUCTURE

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that the rear subframe was extremely corroded. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who had repaired the vehicle under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V430000 (Structure). The dealer had repaired the vehicle and was awaiting guidance from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

recall was initiated because salt used on roads during winter could accumulate along the rear frame, where the fuel tank is mounted, causing corrosion and potentially leading to the fuel tank becoming unsecured. Affected Vehicles: The recall covers 2006-2014 Honda Ridgeline pickup trucks that were sold or ever registered in the salt-belt region. Salt-Belt States: The affected states include Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. This is a known issue, I have a huge rusted hole in the truck, and it's not covered because I don't live in a surrounding state of Kentucky or Virginia but I live within 50 miles of both of these states. This known recall should be expanded to include Tennessee and North Carolina and it's ridiculous to recall 50 miles away but not here. Why would you allow this?

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

A recall on rear frame rust compromised with gas tank strapping

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Noticed rust on driver side frame rail.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

My subframe and back of my truck frame rusted so bad gas tank is close to falling off have a strap holding under it but it’s probably not going to help with a rust hole in the frame

SUSPENSION,STRUCTURE

The contact owns a 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The contact stated that while the vehicle was at the dealer for an inspection, the dealer determined that the suspension and sub-frame were severely corroded. The contact was informed that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V430000 (Structure) however, the dealer declined to perform the recall repair due to the suspension and sub-frame corrosion. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had recently purchased the vehicle from a private seller, who informed her that the engine and transmission had previously been replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 357,000. The contact took the vehicle to Bill Walsh Honda in Ottawa, IL for inspection and for the punch test required for recall 22V430 on Dec. 3, 2023 and was told the vehicle passed the punch test and needed to come back in a couple weeks to have new brackets put on to hold the gas tank. The appointment was set for Dec. 15, 2023 but the contact was told the punch test failed this time.

An accumulation of road salt may cause the frame mounting surface, where the fuel tank mounting bands are attached, to corrode and possibly detach the fuel tank, which can result in a fuel leak.Action Need To Fix It:Dealers will inspect and repair the rear frame, as necessary, free of charge. Depending on the extent of any corrosion damage, Honda may offer to repurchase the vehicle. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 1, 2022. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. We took my son's vehicle to our local Honda dealership for the recall repair. They replaced 2 bolts that secure the fuel tank straps to the frame. Then sent us away with an invoice saying the vehicle is not safe to drive due to severely rusted fuel tank straps. I have emailed and called American Honda many times to ask why this is not covered by the recall and requesting a buy back. They have only responded by saying the recall repairs were made. They won't put anything in writing explaining why the severely corroded fuel tank straps that are a safety issue per their dealership are not related to the recall.
