2002 HONDA ACCORD Suspension Problems

-The front subframe on the passenger side completely rusted through and broke. The driver side is perfectly fine and still has factory paint on it, but the passenger side is completely rusted out. Yes the vehicle and issue are available for inspection. -The front subframe is the frame component that holds and supports your front suspension, steering, engine and transmission. With the failure of the subframe the front passenger side of the car dropped down and the steering and suspension were compromised. Very unsafe for the driver and passengers to lose control of the vehicle. Loss of control is also very dangerous for others on the road. -The problem is very prominent for this year and model of car. It is an engineering flaw from the factory for years 1998-2002. The air conditioning evaporator drain hose is routed right onto the passenger side sub frame. The moisture from the drain...

The right side of the main front subframe of the car broke. The subframe on the right side was completely rusted out and corroded away. However, the left side of the subframe was perfectly intact with no damage and only minor surface rust. The car has only 50,000 miles on it. When the subframe broke my friends [XXX]aunt [XXX] old) was driving and the right side of the car dropped down and the steering was compromised. The broken subframe resulted in a loss of control of the car but an accident was avoided thankfully due to her only driving at low speeds. They took the car to an independent mechanic, who welded some support brackets to the subframe to get the car to move. After doing some research, I found multiple forums, websites, videos, and repair TSBs about this issue. The failure occurred because of an engineering failure of the...

UPON INSPECTION OF THIS VEHICLE, PART OF THE FRONT SUBFRAME HAD RUSTED THROUGH, FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER HOSE EMPTYING ON TOP OF IT. ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW THE EXTENT OF VISIBLE DAMAGE; OTHER DAMAGE WITHIN THIS STRUCTURE IS NOT VISIBLE TO THE EYE. HONDA REFERS TO THIS PART AS THE "REAR BEAM," PART NUMBER 50200-S87-A00. THE STEERING RACK AND FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ATTACH TO THIS PART, ALONG WITH THE REAR ENGINE MOUNT, AND CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON AND VERY DANGEROUS FLAW IN THIS GENERATION OF ACCORD.

WHILE COMPLETING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE IN A 2002 HONDA ACCORD COUPE EX, NOTICED THE SUB FRAME PASSENGER SIDE COMPLETELY RUSTED IN HALF (APPROXIMATELY 4-5 INCH SECTION). RUST CAUSED BY AC CONDENSATION FROM DRAIN LOCATED DIRECTLY ABOVE SUB FRAME. REMAINING FRAME IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2002 EX HONDA ACCORD IN 2015; I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A RELIABLE DEPENDABLE CAR. HONDA IS KNOW FOR ITS RELIABILITY BUT LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT THE WHOLE SUB-FRAME (FRONT & BACK WAS FULLY RUSTED). MY SRS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON QUITE OFTEN. THE A/C DRAIN I STRONGLY BELIEVE WAS INSTALLED IMPROPERLY WHICH CAUSES THE SUB-FRAME TO RUST AND CRACK. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 82,358 MILES AND PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH HONDA DEALERSHIP WHICH MY POWERTRAIN ONLY COVERED UP TO 90,000 MILES. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE WHICH WAS AT 91,000 MILES AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED TO HAVE POWERTRAIN PROBLEMS. EVEN THOUGH ON MY BILL OF SALE IT STATED AS IS HONDA DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT A CUSTOMERS SUCH AS MYSELF WOULD LOOK UNDER THE BODY OF THE CAR. I WENT ONLINE AND HAVE READ...

WHILE BRAKE WORK WAS BEING DONE ON THE 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE SUB-FRAME WAS BADLY WORN AND IN DANGER OF COLLAPSE. THE CAR CANNOT BE MOVED SAFELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE VEERED IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AXLE, TIE ROD, AND BEARINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

MY SRS LIGHT IS ON ... DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAG PROBLEM???? , I CONSTANTLY DEAL WITH STEERING PROBLEMS. REPLACED MY STRUTS AT LEAST TWICE!!! I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME HELP!!! THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WHEN I GO IN MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE AS IT SAT OVER NIGHT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A CLUNKING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER LEAKED ONTO THE SUBFRAME AND CAUSED IT TO BECOME RUSTED AND FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THE PART WAS UNABLE TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED; HOWEVER, A REPAIR WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

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.

DRIVING AROUND 60 M/P/H ON 08/12/15 , A BANG CAME FROM THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT HOME I INSPECTED THE PROBLEM. THE ENGINE SUB-FRAME HAD ROTTEN AND FELL APART, I WAS VERY LUCKY I DID'NT HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAD IT AC DRAINPIPE DIRECTS WATER, WHICH IS RIGHT ONTO THE SUB-FRAME IN THIS SECTION, WHICH CAUSE IT TO RUST OUT FASTER THAN THE REST OF THE FRAME. I WILL BE GETTING IT REPAIRED, BECAUSE MY GRANDDAUGTHER NEED THIS CAR TO GET WORK & COLLEGE. HONDA MOTOR SHOULD REPAY ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT HONDA KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SOME YEARS AGO. (1999 - 2002 PROBLEM).

THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS LOCATION DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE SWAY BAR BUSHING MOUNT AS WELL AS A BODY ATTACHMENT TO THE SUB FRAME. THE CAR WAS EXHIBITING A SQUEAKING/CLUNKING NOISE DURING TURNS AND HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY IN A SHORT MATTER OF TIME. THE REST OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST OR DAMAGE WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAUSE MAY BE LINKED TO THE LOCATION OF THE AC DRAIN HOSE DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS LOCATION. *TR

THE REAR FRONT SUB-FRAME OR CROSS MEMBER OF MY VEHICLE HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DUE TO THE A/C DRIPPING ON THAT CERTAIN PART OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ALMOST IN PERFECT CONDITION. THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE MODELS 98-02. IF SOMETHING ISN'T DONE THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. THE REPAIRS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A USED PART BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS TO ALL THE VEHICLES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT HONDA KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT ONLY ADDRESS WHEN ASKED, THEY HAVE NOT INFORMED THE PUBLIC OF THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD. IT IS AN ENGINEERING FLAW OF HONDA'S THAT IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE HURT. TOYOTA DID THE RIGHT THING WITH THEIR TRUCKS WHEN THE FRAMES WERE SPLITTING IN HALF, HONDA SHOULD AS WELL. 2002 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE. *TR

AS I SLOWED TO MAKE A U-TURN (TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT) ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE RIGHT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT BROKE. THE CAR COLLAPSED ON TO THAT WHEEL AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE RIGHT AXLE WAS PULLED OUT IN THE PROCESS. AS I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK I LOOKED AND NOTICED THE SHAFT WHERE THE SCREW CONNECTS TO THE BALL JOINT WAS SPLIT IN HALF. IT WAS A LOUD FRIGHTENING MOMENT AND NOW THAT WHEEL WAS STICKING OUT AWAY FROM THE CAR WITH THE OTHER STILL IN PLACE. I LIFTED THE CAR UP WITH THE JACK...THE CARS FENDER EDGE COLLAPSED ONTO THAT TIRE AND I WAS AFRAID THE SHARP PRESSURE COULD MAKE IT BLOW. I AM THANKFUL THIS HAPPENED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC AT A LOW SPEED. I HAD JUST FINISHED DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT 20 MILES THAT MORNING AND WONDERED WHAT IF THIS...

I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE MECHANIC'S TO HAVE MY UPPER BALL JOINTS REPLACED. BOB CALLED ME WITH AN ESTIMATE AND I GAVE HIM THE GO AHEAD TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR. SADLY, HE CALLED ME BACK 2 HOURS LATER TO TELL ME THAT THERE WAS NO SENSE IN SPENDING THE MONEY ON THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THAT THE CAR WOULD SOON FALL APART. HE SAID THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN DAMAGE LIKE THAT BEFORE, THAT IT WAS ODD FOR A CAR OF THAT AGE, AND THAT THE REST OF THE CAR WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. HE ADVISED ME TO CONTACT HONDA TO SEE IF ANY RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND NO RECALLS (AS YOU KNOW) BUT FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS DOCUMENTING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

THE SUB-FRAME IS RUSTED/ROTTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT ADJACENT TO OIL DRAIN PLUG. I WENT TO A MECHANIC FOR A POWER STEERING SYSTEM INSPECTION AND THEY POINTED OUT THE EXTENT OF RUST DAMAGE AND TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I LOOKED INTO THE PREVALENCE OF THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AFFECTING ONLY THE SUB-FRAME AT THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT. *TR

SUB FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH ON PASSENGER SIDE FRONT ADJACENT TO WHERE THE OIL DRAIN PLUG IS LOCATED. I'VE BEEN TAKING MY CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA OF MENTOR DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES FOR YEARS. NO MENTION OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE COMPLETED THEIR SAFETY CHECKS. MOST RECENT OIL CHANGE WAS IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. THE SUB FRAME IS NOT RUSTING AT ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

DURING A PROFESSIONAL SAFETY INSPECTION, THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SPOTTED ROTTED/RUSTED SUSPENSION CROSS K-FRAME "REAR BEAM" (PART #: 50200-S84-A00) ON THE PASSENGER/RIGHT SIDE. IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT IS RECOMMENDED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SUCH REPLACEMENT SHOULD NOT BEEN DONE TYPICALLY IF NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. ESP., SINCE SEVERE CORROSION HAPPENED ONLY ON THE PASSENGER/RIGHT SIDE, IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE DRAINAGE OF THE A/C RIGHT ABOVE THE RUSTED PART. *TR

WHILE TAKING OFF MY TIRES TO INSPECT THE TIERODS AND BRAKES I NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END VEHICLE SUBFRAME DIRECTLY BELOW THE AIR CONDITIONER DRAIN LINE. IT IS RUSTED THROUGH CURRENTLY ONLY ON THE TOP SIDE BUT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THIS PROGRESSES TO THE UNDERSIDE AS WELL. THIS LEAVES ONLY THE LOWER PORTION TO HOLD THE SUSPENSION AND ENGINE IN PLACE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SEEMING CAUSED BY THE DRAIN LINE BEING POSITIONED DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS PIECE OF THE SUBFRAME. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A YEAR AGO FROM A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT IN HIND SIGHT DEFINITELY SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE TRYING TO GET RID OF A LEMON. THERE WERE A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES WITH THE CAR (ELECTRICAL, ETC) AND NOW I FIND THIS. THIS CAR WAS SERVICED AT THIS...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE IN THE FRONT. UPON INSPECTION AT A LOCAL FIRESTONE AUTOCARE CENTER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED AWAY AND READY TO COLLAPASE. I WAS TOLD AT THE HONDA DEALER IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THIS CAR IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION YET THE FRAME IS ROTTED THROUGH . IM TOLD ITS DUE TO HONDAS DESIGN AND THAT THE A/C DRAIN HOSE IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT. DONT THEY HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO THE CONSUMERS WHO TRUST THEM AND BUY THEIR PRODUCT TO INFORM THEM OF SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS

A LOUD, CLUNKING SOUND BEGAN WHEN I WOULD GO OVER UNEVEN ROAD OR BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY THAT LOUD, CLUNKING NOISE APPEARING WHEN I WOULD TURN THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT AND WHEN I WOULD GO OVER BUMPS. FINALLY, THE LOUD, CLUNKING NOISE WAS HEARD AT ALL TIMES DRIVING, ONLY COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN MY MECHANIC, WHO SPECIALIZES IN FOREIGN CARS, INSPECTED MY CAR HE SAID THE REAR SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH AND WAS KNOCKING ON THE REST OF THE FRAME/BEAM ON THAT SIDE. HE INDICATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAIN TUBE IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS SPOT. WHEN I ASKED HOW THE SUBFRAME LOOKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, MY MECHANIC REPLIED THAT IT LOOKED GOOD AS NEW. I CONCLUDE THAT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND WEATHER ELEMENTS COULD NOT BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH RUSTING ON ONE SIDE...

I JUS GOT INTO THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT ALONG HUGH HOWELL RD REVERSE FROM OUT OF MY PARKING SPACE AS SOON AS I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE I HEARD A LOUD REVVED COMING FROM THE ENGINE THE CAR THEN SPED OFF I TRIED TO STOPPED IT BUT THEY BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP IT. ABOUT 30-40FT IT CRASHES INTO A GUARD RAIL. BOTH AIRBAG DEPLOY. DAMAGE FRONT BUMPER,FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND LEFT FRONT AXLE. *TR

INVESTIGATING SOME STRANGE ISSUES, PULLING AND CLUNKS AT SPEED AND BUMPS, TRANNY ISSUES AND NOSE FROM THE FRONT OF MY CAR I DECIDED TO DO AN INSPECTION. I TOOK THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL OFF AND DISCOVERED RUST HOLES RIGHT THREW THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME! IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IT WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION IN MY STATE AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. THIS HONDA HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE NEW. AND HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED FOR ALL THE MAJOR SERVICE OVER THE PAST 11 YEARS AND THIS WAS NEVER SEEN? ITS NOT LIKE IT JUST HAPPENED TODAY IN MARCH OF 2013! I LOOKED AROUND UNDER THE CAR AND UNDER THE HOOD, I SEE THE DRAIN TUBE FOR THE AC DRIPS RIGHT ON THE SPOT THE FRAME IS RUSTED THREW! THEN I TOOK THE DRIVERS SIDE...

ON AUGUST 3, NOTICE A LOUD CRACKING SOUND IN RIGHT FRONT OF CAR. TOOK CAR TO HONDA DEALER AUG. 9. WAS CONTACTED BY SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, STATED FRONT CROSS BEAM WAS CRACKED NEARLY INTO TWO PIECES AND THAT DUE TO THE SERIOUS DANGEROUS CONDITION OF THE CAR IT CAN NOT BE DRIVEN. I WAS ASKED TO COME AND OBSERVE THE CONDITION. UPON ARRIVING I ASKED HOW THIS COULD OCCUR, CAR IS GARAGED, EXCELLENT CONDITION, WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS INFORMED THEY HAVE SEEN THIS CONDITION BEFORE AND THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING DRAINS ONTO THIS BEAM MAKING IT WET ALL THE TIME. THEY BELIEVE THIS HELPED THE BEAM RUST, IN ONE AREA ONLY, UNTIL EVENTUALLY NEARLY BREAKING INTO 2 PIECES. I ASKED IF HONDA ACKNOWLEDGED THIS DEFECT I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW THE DRAIN DRIPS ON THE BEAM AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL?? I CALLED HONDA...

THREE 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE AND VEHICLE STILL NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. *BF THE CONSUMER WAS FINALLY TOLD THE CAMBER COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. *JB

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE'S STEERING AND SUSPENSION. *MR THERE WERE STEERING PROBLEMS, CLICKING NOISES THAT HAD RUN THROUGH THE SHIFTER AND THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN PLACED INTO GEAR. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FOUND IN THE STEERING OR THE SUSPENSION. THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT RETURN COMPLETELY AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD DO SO SLOWLY, IT ALSO MOVED IN CIRCLES. THE BRAKE PEDAL MADE NOISES WHEN IT WAS APPLIED AND METAL LIKE NOISES THAT HAD COME FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DROVE ROUGH OVER BUMPS. WHEN STEPPING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BEFORE GOING INTO GEAR, IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS ALREADY IN PARK. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE RODE ROUGH DUE TO TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES (OVER 50LBS OF PRESSURE IN TWO OF THE TIRES. *SCC THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RACK AND PINION WERE REPLACED. *JB
