Consumer Description

THE REAR FRONT SUB-FRAME OR CROSS MEMBER OF MY VEHICLE HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DUE TO THE A/C DRIPPING ON THAT CERTAIN PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ALMOST IN PERFECT CONDITION. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE MODELS 98-02. IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A USED PART BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS TO ALL THE VEHICLES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT ONLY ADDRESS WHEN ASKED, THEY HAVE NOT INFORMED THE PUBLIC OF THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW OF HONDA'S THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT. TOYOTA DID THE RIGHT THING WITH THEIR TRUCKS WHEN THE FRAMES WERE SPLITTING IN HALF, HONDA SHOULD AS WELL. 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE. *TR
