I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC FOR TWO ISSUES: A POSSIBLE BRAKE FLUID LEAK, AND A WEAK TO ALMOST NONFUNCTIONAL A/C IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. HE TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT DUE TO RUST (THE RUST WAS NOT MENTIONED WHATSOEVER DURING THE CAR'S INSPECTION ONLY 6 MONTHS PRIOR) AND WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHECKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDELY PREVALENT ISSUE WITH GEN 6 ACCORDS (98 - 02). I'VE LIVED IN A SNOWY CITY FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, BUT THERE IS NO APPRECIABLE RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE CAR. ONLY IN THIS ONE SPOT, WHICH IS DIRECTLY UNDER THE A/C DRAIN. HONDA CHANGED THE LOCATION OF THE A/C DRAIN IN 2003 (WITH THEIR 7TH GEN ACCORDS), AND THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE ON THOSE CARS. HONDA HAS SAID THAT IT IS JUST A COINCIDENCE, BUT THEY ARE BETTER OFF PUTTING OUT A RECALL AND COVERING THE COST OF REPLACING THESE FRONT PASSENGER SUBFRAMES THAN HAVING TO PAY FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ONCE SOMEBODY IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF A ROTTING SUBFRAME. WHILE I THINK THAT MY WEAK A/C MAY BE WHAT CAUSED THE ACCELERATION OF THIS SUBFRAME ROT, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH THE SUBFRAME AND HONDA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO RECONCILE THE ISSUE. FORD DID A RECALL ON A 12 YEAR OLD CAR WHEN THEY DISCOVERED A DESIGN FLAW. I AM CONSULTING LAWYERS AT THIS TIME TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BEFORE THERE IS A REPORT OF SOMEBODY DYING DUE TO THIS. *JS

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF SUBFRAME ROTTED. DRIVER SIDE IS GOOD. INSPECTOR SAID HONDA WILL NOT FIX. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE. WHEN WILL NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. SHOULD I CALL MY CONGRESS MAN TO GET THIS PROBLEM TO BE KNOWN TO THE MASS PUBLIC. I CANT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE HASN'T BEEN KILLED WITH THIS BLATANTLY OBVIOUS DISREGARD FOR FAMILES WHO USE THESE CARS, AND NOT KNOW THE DANGER.REMINDS ME OF WHEN I CONTACTED THE NHSTA ON MY TOYOTA TACOMA FRAME RUSTING OFF THE TRUCK AND HAVING MY DAUGHTER IN THE TRUCK PRAYING WE COULD MAKE IT HOME. I ENDED UP SELLING THE TRUCK FOR HALF THE PRICE OF IT TO ONLY HEAR A MONTH LATER THAT TOYOTA WAS AT LEAST WILLING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BUT TO LATE FOR ME AND A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS. *TR

SUSPENSION
HEARD A NOISE WHEN BREAKING, TURNING, OR GOING OVER BUMP. TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC & FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT SUSPENSION SUB FRAME (REAR CROSS MEMBER) WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. SWAY BAR IS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE FRAME. $1600 REPAIR & HE CAN NOT EVEN FIND A PART AS HE HAS SEEN SO MANY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM IN LAST COUPLE YEARS. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO AC DRIPPING ON THE FRAME IN THAT SECTION. DRIVER SIDE IS SOLID. HONDA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE! *JS

SEAT BELTS
THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT LOCKS PREMATURELY AT LOW SPEEDS AND WILL NOT RETRACT PROPERLY. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT SEATBELTS ARE NOT UNDER A LIFETIME WARRANTY IF IT IS MECHANICAL IN NATURE. THE PASSENGER SEATBELT ALSO GRINDS WHEN PULLED AND THE DEALER IS BEING DIFFICULT TO REPAIR. THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT IS SLOW TO RETRACT BUT APPEARS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

SRS INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD. CAR NEEDS THIS REPAIRED BEFORE VALID MA INSPECTION STICKER CAN BE APPLIED. HONDA DEALER REPAIRED FIRST "SRS INCIDENT" DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BUCKLE. HONDA DEALER DECLARED PROBLEM FIXED. DROVE CAR HOME. 2 DAYS LATER, SRS INDICATOR RE-APPEARS ON DASHBOARD. TOOK CAR BACK TO HONDA DEALER. HONDA DEALER NOW SAYS THAT CAR REQUIRED NEW OPDS SENSOR. APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST: JUST UNDER $500. NO MENTION OF PREVIOUS RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE FOR ALL HONDA ACCORDS 2000-2001. RECALL WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS AND 157,000 MILES. CURRENT MILEAGE UNDER 154,000 MILES. CALLED HONDA CORPORATE OFFICES. BOTH HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE UNWILLING TO HELP. CAN NHTSA HELP WITH GETTING HONDA TO ABIDE BY OLD RECALL? I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE. I BELIEVE THE SRS REPAIR FROM LAST WEEK RESULTED IN THE CURRENT SRS OPDS FAILURE. I CAN SEE MANY ANGRY HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ON INTERNET WEB SITES. ADD ME TO THE LIST. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON MAY 29, 2014 OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING OUR CAR AND HAD JUST DROPPED A FRIEND OFF AT THE BUS STATION, AFTER THE FRIEND GOT OUT OF THE CAR, SHE PULLS OFF AND GOES AROUND A CORNER AND THE CAR ACCELERATES AND JUMPS A CURB, UPROOTS A TREE, HITS A PARKED CAR, WHICH CRASHES INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR. OUR CAR WAS TOTALED. I THINK THE OTHER CAR WAS TOTALED AND THE OTHER CAR HAD MODERATE DAMAGE. OUR DAUGHTER HAD A GASH IN HER ARM AND A LOT OF BUMPS AND BRUISES. MY DAUGHTER IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INCIDENT, NOR WILL IT BE THE LAST. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC TO INSPECT WHEEL NOISE. INSPECTION RESULTED IN REPLACEMENT OF BALL JOINT. INSPECTION ALSO REVEALED 80-85% RUST-OUT OF SUBFRAME ON PASSENGER SIDE. NO OTHER UNDERCARRIAGE RUST IS EVIDENT AND THE VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS IS THE SAME AREA OF THE SUBFRAME WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED AS A 'DEFECT' DUE TO FACTORY PLACEMENT OF THE A/C DRAIN HOSE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION WAITING TO HAPPEN. *JS

ON MY HONDA ACCORD 2000, I CAN REMOVE THE IGNITION KEY WITHOUT SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION TO 'PARK'. I PARKED MY CAR, AND LEFT THE TRANSMISSION ON 'DRIVE'. THE CAR ROLLED DOWN THE SLOPE AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR PARKED FEW YARDS AWAY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL 05V02500 (IGNITION-PARK INTERLOCK) MATCHES EXACTLY MY CAR CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH THE INTERLOCK SYSTEM. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN. *TR

SUB-FRAME RUSTING: UPON RECENT INSPECTION THIS VEHICLE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE RUSTING THROUGH THE SUB-FRAME ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE RESULTING IN FAILURE TO PASS INSPECTION DUE TO BEING UNSAFE. COST TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THE PART AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE WILL BE $1500.00. NO OTHER SIGN OF RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THIS VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCH INTO THIS SERIOUS AND EXPENSIVE DEFECT WE NOTED THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF ACCORD VEHICLE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL FLAW. ADDITIONALLY, OUR MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WEEP HOLE DRAINS DIRECTLY ONTO THIS AREA OF THE VEHICLE CONTRIBUTING TO THE SUB-FRAME ROT. *TR

DURING AN OIL CHANGE, MY HUSBAND NOTICE A CRACK IN THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, HE IDENTIFIED THAT THE SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH FROM THE TOP DOWN WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN WAS. THE REPLACEMENT PART COST $530 (REGULARLY $720 FROM HONDA) AND OVER $400 IN LABOR TO REPLACE IT. THE PART WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH, BROKEN IN SEVERAL PLACES, AND WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY CAUSED A STEERING PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE PART. *TR

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, THROUGH THIS LETTER, I WISH TO INFORM YOU OF MY DISAGREEMENT WITH THE EVALUATION OF THE AIR BAGS IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY TO PROTECT ME. WHEN I ADDRESSED MY CONCERN TO THE DALTON AGENCY, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE SERVICE MANAGER, MANUEL PEZ NAVARRO AND THE HEAD OF MECHANICS, JORGE CARDENAS ONLY DO OIL CHANGE AND FILTERS. THEY ADVISED IF I WANTED TO KNOW WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY, THAT I SHOULD PAY A TECHNICIAN $600.00 PESOS TO CONNECT A SCANNER TO MY CAR TO SEE IF THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE SYSTEM, AN ERROR THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THERE FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN THE CAR WAS ASSEMBLED. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THE FACTORY INVOICE FOR MY AUTO SPECIFIES THAT IT HAS AIR BAGS AT THE HIGHEST SECURITY LEVEL. THAT IS WHY I?VE TAKEN MY CAR TO BE SERVICE REGULARLY AT THE DALTON AGENCY TO KEEP ALL WARRANTIES IN PLACE. I PLACED MY TRUST IN THE AGENCY, IN THE HONDA COMPANY AND IN THE GLOBAL BRAND AND FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLED ABOUT SERVICE AND QUALITY. I AM TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED BY THE LACK OF CONCERN FROM INDIVIDUAL LIVES. THE TRAUMA, INJURY AND REHABILITATION AFTER THE ACCIDENT HAS BEEN TERRIBLE, LEAST HAVING TO DEAL WITH YOU HAS CAUSED UNNECESSARY FRUSTRATION AND FEAR. KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAG SITUATION HAS BEEN CALLED A SIMPLE MISTAKE OR ACCIDENT DOES NOT HELP MY DILEMMA. LUCKILY I AM ALIVE TODAY, BUT A FEW CENTIMETERS COULD HAVE MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE AND CAUSED A TRAGIC STORY. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME COULD HAVE HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE, ESPECIALLY SOMEONE HAVING A HARD TIME IN LIFE. PLEASE CONSIDER TAKING RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE ?RIGHT THING?. I?M ATTACHING PICTURES AND COPIES OF ALL DOCUMENTS FOR YOUR REVIEW AND PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: LICENSE PLATE #: 124-PPU SERVICE HISTORY: 2001 ? PRESENT SERVICE AGENCY: HONDA DALTON POLANCO DE MXICO, D.F.
