Consumer Description

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. THE PASSENGER SIDE SUBFRAME IS BADLY CORRODED, DUE TO THE A/C DRAIN HOSE DRIPPING ONTO THE SUBFRAME. THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOOKS FINE THOUGH. I NOTICED THE ISSUE, AFTER READING ABOUT COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND CHECKED OUT OF CURIOSITY. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $2000-$2500 TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME (ABOUT A $1,000 FOR THE SUBFRAME AND ANOTHER $1,000-$1,500 FOR LABOR) AND WAS TOLD THIS IS A SAFEY ISSUE. IF THE SUBFRAME WERE TO FRACTURE, THE HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE COMPROMISED AND STEERING WILL CEASE.
