NHTSA Complaint #11402866 — 2001 HONDA ACCORD

HONDA ACCORD 2001 4-DR SAB: PASSENGER SIDE REAR FRONT ENGINE SUPPORT COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY DUE TO AC LEAK. DRIVER SIDE REAR FRONT SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE, NO RUST. MECHANIC SAID CAR IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNLESS I INVEST IN NEW SUBFRAME FOR OVER $1,200. MY CAR ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT AND I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IT HASN'T BEEN RECALLED FOR CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE AC LEAKAGE. I HAVE FOUND MANY FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM INCLUDING THE ARTICLE 'CENTER FOR AUTO SAFETY REQUESTING RECALL OF 1.5 MILLION HONDA ACCORDS FOR RUST ISSUE IN SUB- FRAME AND HONDA ACCORDS FOUND WITH SUB-FRAMES RUSTED OUT BY THE NHOU. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED DRIVING THIS CAR WHILE I WORKED AS A FOOD DELIVERY DRIVER FOR GRUBHUB. I DESERVE COMPENSATION, MY PASSENGER SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND HANGING BY A THREAD WHEREAS MY DRIVER SIDE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE. THAT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.
