Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE IN THE FRONT. UPON INSPECTION AT A LOCAL FIRESTONE AUTOCARE CENTER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED AWAY AND READY TO COLLAPASE. I WAS TOLD AT THE HONDA DEALER IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION YET THE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH . IM TOLD ITS DUE TO HONDAS DESIGN AND THAT THE A/C DRAIN HOSE IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT. DONT THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THE CONSUMERS WHO TRUST THEM AND BUY THEIR PRODUCT TO INFORM THEM OF SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS
