Consumer Description

WHILE CHANGING THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY CAR I NOTICED THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF MY SUBFRAME WAS HEAVILY RUSTED. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION THE SUBFRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH IN SEVERAL SPOTS. DIRECTLY BELOW THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE I WAS ABLE TO PUT A FINGER THROUGH THE METAL WITH LITTLE TO NO PRESSURE. THE LOCATION OF THIS DRAIN TUBE ALLOWS WATER TO DRIP DIRECTLY ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SUBFRAME HAS BARELY ANY RUST ON IT AT ALL. SEARCHING THROUGH THE INTERNET I FOUND MANY REPORTS AND STORIES FROM OWNERS OF THE 1998 TO 2002 HONDA ACCORDS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. A WALK THROUGH A LOCAL JUNKYARD YESTERDAY PROVIDES FURTHER PROOF THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND HONDA NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY.
