    The a/c compressor drips directly on the subframe, which rusted it completely apart. Which in turn, destroyed the suspension. My car is now waiting to be towed back to my house, totally not drivable. I was on a city street. Normal turn around a corner. If i would have been injured, i would be filing a lawsuit against honda for extremely poor engineering and lack of thinking this horrible design flaw through…

    When i purchased my car the ac was not working so i had it checked and was told that it was not connected and was told that honda's have been having problems with the frames rotting out due to the location of the ac drain. Upon having the frame inspected was told that my vehicle would not pass another state inspection. My car is in great shape body wise with no other rust. I was told that this is a big safety issue…

Cost of $160 (description - routine maintenance - bg fuel service all - cleaned…

    Driving down the highway and my 1999 honda accord ex. Shuts off. The steering wheel sometimes tightens up but this last time i was able to pull over without a problem. Good thing i was in the right hand lane close to the shoulder. My car has been doing this for a while and cannot figure out why. At first it would go down to a really low idle before it shut off but now it just turns off. It's even worse now that i…

    Just found out today from my mechanic during an oil change that oil was leaking into my antifreeze component. As a matter of fact, my oil chamber was near-empty and my antifreeze component was black and full of oil. He also said that he had seen other cases of this in this particular make and model where the engines had to be replaced. *tr

    This is a v6 automatic. I have kept up with the maintenance of the vehicle exactly as honda has instructed. I have even gone as far to only get it serviced at the dealership. The vehicle has always shifted weird from park into drive. At 75000 miles it began hard shifting into 1st and around 85000 miles it began to not want to shift from 1st into 2nd and especially 2nd back to 1st. Now putting the car in reverse is…
