WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC THAT THE FRONT SUBFRAME OR CRADLE ON OUR 1999 HONDA ACCORD IS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR AND DUE TO THE RUST, ANY PARTS THAT ATTACH TO THE SUBFRAME, SUCH AS THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS AND STRUTS, CANNOT BE SAFELY REPLACED DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE SUBFRAME. THE MECHANIC ESTIMATED THAT THE SUBFRAME WILL BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE WITHIN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS AND SUGGESTED IT BE REPLACED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
1999 HONDA ACCORD WAS SUBJECT OF A RECALL IN MAY 2002 FOR IGNITION SWITCH THAT THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON SUBJECT AUTO AND HAS NOT HAD ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE SWITCH UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO. THE CAR WOULD SHUT DOWN AND DID AT 65MPH IN TRAFFIC. MANAGED TO STEER TO THE ROADSIDE AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT! THE SWITCH HAS AGAIN BEEN REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *JS
