TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Have had the car in the shop multiple times in the last year attempting to solve a consistent radial pull. This has become a safety issue as the car is now being used by a 21 year old granddaughter. Discount Tire has consistently refused to help. The latest alignment was conducted by Advance Auto Tech of Angleton Texas which shows the alignment is not the problem. It is one of the tires now identified as the left rear. Alignment test was conducted on 07/01/2021. Consumer stated tires are 205/65 R15.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TOOK IT TO OREILYS TO READ THE OBD AND THE GUY TOLD ME MY ECU WAS WIPED. MY IDENTITY HAS ALSO BEEN STOLEN AND THESE GANG OF PEOPLE WHO IMPERSONATE ME HAVE DONE THIS, AT AN EARLIER TIME 8/19 MY KEYS WERE STOLEN FROM MY ROOMMATE AND I REPORTED IT BECAUSE THEY GOT TICKETS IN MY NAME. ANYHOW I HAVE TO PUSH START MY CAR TO OVERRIDE THE FACT THAT THERES NO DATA TO TELL MY CAR WHAT TO DO AND MY KEY IS ALSO INVALID AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. WAS HOPING THERE WAS A WAY YOU COULD GET INFO ON WHO DID THIS AND ACCESSED THE INFO?? OR IF I AM COVERED UNDER THE PRIVACY ACT??

ENGINE
I AM WRITING TO YOU IN REGARDS TO A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE ENGINE SUBFRAME OF MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD LX HAS 1/4 ENGINE CONNECTIONS ROTTED THROUGH. THIS IS LOCATED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE STRUT ASSEMBLY, BENEATH THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN, AS NOTED BY OTHERS ON POSTING ON THE INTERNET. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHERWISE, ESPECIALLY WITH VERY LOW MILES (156,000) THERE IS VERY LITTLE RUST ON THE VEHICLE CONSIDERING IT'S AGE. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE WRITES: 'DURING DEGREASING (AND REPAIR OF RADIATOR) FOUND ENGINE SUB-FRAME RUSTING OUT AND COMING APART. ADVISED CLIENT THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY RISK TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION'. IT APPEARS TO BE THE RESULT OF A DESIGN FLAW RELATING TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN. HONDA SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THIS UNSAFE SITUATION. I AM SHOCKED THIS CATASTROPHIC SAFETY CONDITION WAS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE WITHOUT WARNING BY HONDA AND/OR THE NHTSA!!

HONDA ACCORD 2001 4-DR SAB: PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY DUE TO AC LEAK. DRIVER SIDE REAR FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE, NO RUST. MECHANIC SAID CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNLESS I INVEST IN NEW SUBFRAME FOR OVER $1,200. MY CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE AC LEAKAGE. I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING THE ARTICLE 'CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY REQUESTING RECALL OF 1.5 MILLION HONDA ACCORDS FOR RUST ISSUE IN SUB- FRAME AND HONDA ACCORDS FOUND WITH SUB-FRAMES RUSTED OUT BY THE NHOU. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DRIVING THIS CAR WHILE I WORKED AS A FOOD DELIVERY DRIVER FOR GRUBHUB. I DESERVE COMPENSATION, MY PASSENGER SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND HANGING BY A THREAD WHEREAS MY DRIVER SIDE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE. THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

THE VIN NUMBER LISTS THIS CAR AS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPES. THERE ARE 17 OPEN RECALLS FOR 2001 HONDA ACCORD 2 DR BASED ON SAFECAR.GOV. THERE ARE 4 OPEN RECALLS FOR 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPES BASED ON THE HONDA RECALL SITE. FOR SOME REASON NONE OF THESE RECALLS ARE SHOWING UP AS APPLICABLE TO THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER EVEN THOUGH IT IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD COUPE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RESULT OF AN OVERSIGHT OR AN ERROR THAT CAN HAVE POTENTIALLY DEADLY CONSEQUENCES IF IT MEANS THAT VEHICLES THAT SHOULD BE IN THE RECALL ARE NOT BEING INCLUDED. *TR
