STEERING
WHILE GETTING NEW FRONT TIRES THE SERVICE TECH POINTED OUT THE RUSTED PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME AND SHOWED ME THE PERFECT DRIVERS SIDE. LOOKING UP WAS THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN THAT CAUSED THE DECAY. *TR

A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I TOOK MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD FOR EXHAUST REPAIR, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE SUBFRAME THAT HOLD THE CAR ENGINE MOTOR HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED, I WENT AHEAD AND TO THE CAR TO HONDA MOTORCAR DEALER BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE HOOD LATCH SWITCH THAT MADE THE FACTORY CAR ALARM SYSTEM TO GO OFF NON-STOP, I LIVING A NIGHTMARE. NWAY THE DEALER WANTED AND STILL WANT 400 TO REPLACE THE HOOD LATCH SWITCH, THE DEALER ALSO SAID THE SAME THING THE MECHANIC HAD SAID EARLIER THAT THE VEHICLE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED, THEY NEED ALMOST 1200 DOLLARS TO DO SO. THIS A MAJOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF THE VEHICLE THAT CAN ACCIDENT AND DEATH. I NEED TO DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY FOR WORK PURPOSES. HOW COMES THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS MAJOR STRUCTURAL COMPONENT THAT HOLDS THE VEHICLE TOGETHER. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON THEN WENT OFF AND KEPT DOING THAT FOR QUITE A WHILE. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN CONNECTICUT IN 2000, BUT NOW LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO HONDA IN MYRTLE BEACH, SOUTH CAROLINA BUT THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. MY OIL LIGHT ALSO COMES ONCE IN A WHILE THEN GOES OFF. THEY CHECKED THAT TOO (CHARGED ME OVER $60.00) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON? *TR

UPON INVESTIGATING IT WAS FOUND THE CAR WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE, BUT I WAS NOT ELIGIBLE SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

I HAD A SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT MY SUBFRAME WAS RUSTING AWAY. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE SUBFRAME SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS CONDITION AS A RESULT OF NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. I DO HAVE PHOTO'S OF THIS PART. *TR

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A CERTIFIED AUTO SHOP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND DURING THE INSPECTION THE MECHANIC LIFTED THE CAR AND ALLOWED ME TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE RUSTED SUB- FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DRAINS DIRECTLY INTO SUB-FRAME CAUSING CONDENSATION ALONG WITH A PUDDLE OF WATER SITTING ON THE FRAME WHICH CAUSED A RUSTED HOLE IN THE SUB-FRAME. THE SPOUT FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALLOW THE WATER TO GO DIRECTLY ONTO THE GROUND. DUE THE FAULTY DESIGN SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS WILL NEED TO HAVE THEIR SUB FRAME REPLACE ALONG WITH THE BEARING. THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING, THE RUSTED FRAME COULD FALL APART AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING ACCIDENT. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
WHILE BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR BRAKE WORK, THE STAFF NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH, WAS BROKEN, AND WAS LIKELY PUTTING STRESS ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BEARING. FIVE DAYS LATER, I RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE OUT-OF-TOWN USER CAR SALES/SERVICE BUSINESS FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM, TRACING IT TO RUNOFF FROM CONDENSATION OVER THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR DIRECTLY ON TO THE CORRODED AREA. BECAUSE OF THE PRE-EXISTING NATURE OF THE PROBLEM, THE USED CAR SALESMAN IS WILLING TO PAY 50% OF THE COST, BUT PARTS (EVEN WITH THE USE OF A RUST-FREE USED SUBFRAME) AND LABOR TOTAL COST IS $1,200. *TR

FRONT SUBFRAME ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD RUSTING EXCESSIVELY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE AC CONDENSATION LINE IS DESIGNED WRONG AND HONDA WILL NOT FIX. ALL OF US ACCORD OWNERS NEED YOUR HELP. THE OWNER I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM FIRST BEGAN NOTICING THE RUST IN 2007. NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THIS YEAR AFTER IT COMPLETELY CRACKED OFF. *TR

I WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED OUT ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. FROM WHAT HE SAID AND WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, THIS IS QUITE COMMON. WITH HOW SERIOUS THIS IS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA DOES NOT RECALL VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE. WITH THE AC LEAKING RIGHT ONTO THIS SPOT AND THEM FIXING THAT DEFECT AFTER 2002, IT IS CLEARLY THEIR FAULT. IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND AN OVERALL HASSLE FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN, EVEN IN A 15 YEAR OLD CAR. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF. CAR WAS STRUGGLING TO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO GEAR. WHEN IT GOT REALLY HOT, CAR WOULD NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY. WOULD TAKE SEVERAL TIMES OF HAVING ONE FOOT ON BRAKE AND ONE FOOT ON GAS TO GET IT TO START AGAIN.TRANSMISSION IS ACTING LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. JUST BOUGHT THIS USED CAR LAST YEAR. LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, DON WESSEL, OF SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI ACTED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE CAR WHEN WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT IN THERE THEY GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF BUT THEN IT CAME BACK ON A FEW DAYS LATER. TRIED TO GET THEM TO FIX IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER PLACE THEY, HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND SAID THAT ALL CYLINDERS WERE MISFIRING, AND THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION. WE THINK DEALERSHIP SHOULD FIX IT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT THERE AND THEY DID NOT THINK ANYTHING WAS WRONG EVEN AFTER WE BROUGHT IT BACK AND TOLD THEM THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND CAR IS STILL ACTING UP. *TR

THE AC RUBBER HOSE LEAKS WATER AND DRIPS ON THE SUB FRAME CAUSING THE SUB FRAME TO RUST OUT. THE RUST TOTALLY CRACKED THE SUB FRAME, WHICH IN TURN, CAUSED THE SUSPENSION TO THE BE LOOSE. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDRED OF CONSUMERS. MY HUSBAND HAS MADE A VIDEO AND HAS TAKEN THE STEPS TO WARN THE CONSUMERS OF A CARS WHICH WERE ENGINEERED SO POORLY, AND COULD RISK THE LIVES OF ANY ONE DRIVING THIS MODEL. I WONDER WHO IS IN CHARGE OF SAFETY FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BY HONDA--THE COMPLAINTS FROM HUNDREDS OF CONSUMERS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE DATED WAY BACK 2009, BUT IT SEEMED THAT NEITHER HONDA, NOR THE GOVERNMENT DID ANYTHING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. I HOPE YOU ACT, BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED DUE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I WILL SAVE THIS COMPLAINT AND RESEARCH HONDA CARS 1999 THRU 2002 AND WHEN SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS MISTAKE WILL MAKE SURE THE WORLD WEIGHS IN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. *TR

I NOTICED THAT DURING SIDE WIND OR GOING OVER DIPS IN HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD WANDER AND SWAY MAKING STEERING QUITE DIFFICULT AND SO I HAD MIDAS DO A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT WHICH DIDN'T HELP. THE MIDAS INSPECTOR TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T ABLE TO GUARANTEE THE ALIGNMENT, SINCE HE THOUGHT IT HAD BEEN WRECKED AND THAT THE FRAME WAS OUT OF KILTER. HOWEVER I RESEARCHED ONLINE, AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A TYPICAL DESIGN FLAW ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL, WHERE THE A/C LIQUID DISCHARGE WAS RIGHT ABOVE THE SUB-FRAME AND HAD RUSTED THE REAR CROSS MEMBER COMPLETELY LOOSE FROM THE FRAME. SINCE I AM ON SOCIAL SECURITY-DISABILITY, I AM UNABLE TO PAY TO REPLACE PART #50200-584-A00-RR BEAM. *TR
