Consumer Description

THE SUBFRAME THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE/TRANSAXLE AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS RUSTING THROUGH ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE DURING OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AND APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN THIS GENERATION OF ACCORDS. MOST MECHANICS ATTRIBUTE THE CAUSE OF THE DEFECT TO THE LOCATION OF THE AIRCONDITIONER DRAIN TUBE THAT DRIPS CONDENSATION ONTO THE SUBFRAME WHILE IT IS RUNNING. *TR
