Consumer Description

SUB FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ADJACENT TO WHERE THE OIL DRAIN PLUG IS LOCATED. I'VE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA OF MENTOR DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES FOR YEARS. NO MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE COMPLETED THEIR SAFETY CHECKS. MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE WAS IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. THE SUB FRAME IS NOT RUSTING AT ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
