Consumer Description

DURING THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE FOR THIS VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THE SUB-FRAME HAD ERODED TO THE POINT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. AS THIS WAS A NORTHERN CAR, I EXPECTED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF RUST AND THERE HAD BEEN SOME PAINT CORROSION. THE MECHANICS STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH AN EXTREME EROSION OF THE SUB-FRAME AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT HONDA TO DETERMINE IF THIS HAD BEEN REPORTED AND RECALLED, PARTICULARLY SINCE IT HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BE SUCH A HAZARD. HONDA STATED THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF SUCH DEFECTS AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO RECALLS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE SINCE THE SUB-FRAME SHOULD NOT RUST THROUGH, PARTICULARLY SINCE IT JEOPARDIZES THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE VEHICLE OPERATION. *TR
