#712523September 29, 1999
SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM, STEERING:LINKAGES
VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 5/97. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 99V069000 RECALLED SIMILAR MODEL FOR DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS, FOR UNITS MANUFACTURED FROM 7/97 TO 8/97. I BELIEVE MY MODEL, MANUFACTURED 5/97, HAS SAME PROBLEM. CAR MAKES "GROANING" NOISE WHEN WHEEL IS TURNED AT STARTUP, AND AROUND CURVES. FEAR UNSAFE CONDITION COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENT. PLEASE IMMEDIATELY EXTEND RECALL #99V069000 TO COVER HONDA ACCORD 1997 MODELS MANUFACTURED IN MONTHS PRIOR TO JULY 1997!!! I ASKED DEALER TO CHECK BALL JOINTS DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, WAS TOLD THAT MY MODEL WAS NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL.

STRUCTURE
MY CAR, LIKE MANY OTHER HONDA'S I'VE OBSERVED, IS RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE-OUT AROUND BOTH REAR FENDER WELLS. SINCE I LIVE IN THE MIDWEST I THOUGHT IT MAY BE WEATHER RELATED. I'VE SINCE NOTICED MANY OTHER HONDA ACCORDS FROM VARIOUS OTHER STATES, WITH LITTLE TO NO SNOW, ICE, AND/OR SALT DURING THE WINTERS, HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PAINT IN THE AFFECTED AREAS IS STILL THERE, BUT HAS BUBBLED. BEFORE I HAVE THIS REPAIRED, I JUST WANTED TO CHECK TO SEE IF THIS IS POSSIBLY A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURES DESIGN AND/OR MATERIALS.
