Consumer Description

MY ACCORD IS SUFFERING FROM SOME SEVERE RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUB FRAME. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT IT IS WORSE THAN I HAD THOUGHT. THE RUST AFFECTS THE AREA IN WHICH THE SWAY BAR IS MOUNTED TO THE FRAME, WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS MOUNTED, AND ALSO SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL, CAUSED BY AN A/C DRAIN HOSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND HOPE HONDA HEARS MY/OUR CONCERNS.
