2009 HONDA CR-V- I recently received a recall notice from Honda regarding a problem with a rear frame member of my 2009 CR-V. I am all too familiar with this problem since it happened to me around two years ago. At the time of its failure I was advised by the service station that towed it that was a non-repairable situation. I therefore had it towed to my West Winfield home where I would later sell it as "junk". There seemed little use (and added expense) to have it towed to a Honda dealer since it was beyond repair. Upon receiving the recent notice I reached out to Honda who wanted little to do with my situation since I no longer owned the vehicle. I sought to at least seek some form of compensation, somewhere between the value of the vehicle and the amount I received as salvage (approx. $1100). While they've assigned a case number to me, they have not offered to provide any kind of relief in any shape or form. I am reaching out to you for some guidance on how to best proceed. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

The rear wheel on the left driver side detached from the frame while driving on the hwy and lost control. Luckily I could pull off and drive into the ditch. The frame is rusted enough that auto shop says that the repairs aren't worth it because the entire back frame is rusted and will just happen on the other side. No sounds beforehand to indicate their would be a malfunction. The control arm was detached from the rusting but other components broke from the frame rusting and wheel coming loose on the hwy. It will be inspected further.
