Consumer Description

1999 HONDA ACCORD LX SUB-FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BEING RUSTED OUT, BETWEEN THE ANTI-SWAY BAR MOUNT AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM TO SUB-FRAME BUSHING. IN CONTRAST, THE SAME AREA ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS IN GREAT SHAPE. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE AC CONDENSATION DRAIN LINE DIRECTS WATER TO THIS SUB-FRAME SECTION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT IS MAINLY A DESIGN FLAW THAT ONLY SHOWS UP OVER TIME. MECHANICS DEEM IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND COULD CAUSE A FATAL CRASH WHEN RUSTED OUT. HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SUB-FRAME COULD COST UP TO SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. HONDA SHOULD DO A RECALL TO HAVE IT REPLACED.
