State inspection found passenger side of front subframe has rusted through. No other rust is visible on frame. Mechanic claims failure from rust may be due to ac drain routed onto frame at this location. Another 2000 accord was in in the shop at the same time for repair of the same damage. *tr

When i got home i checked underneath my car to see what was causing the awful sound and saw a piece of metal heavily rusted and sheared right through. I checked the other side to see if it was…

I would like to call to your attention abc's investigation into honda accords for dangerous rusted/rotted sub-frames. The center for auto safety in washington d.c. Is calling on honda to issue a voluntary recall for one and one-half million 1998 through 2002 honda accords due to rust that is quietly eating away at a major structural component. The center for auto safety's executive director [xxx] said, "there's no…

He said that the car was unsafe to drive and that i needed to have it repaired immediately. I called sunnyside honda and spoke with the service manager regarding the problem. I said that…

I had some suspension work(outer tierod ends) and an alignment performed today and was shocked when the technician called me out to the shop so he could show me the condition of the right front subframe member; it is totally corroded yet the left front identical part is fine. This constitutes a serious safety issue given the number and functionality of the associated parts that rely on the integrity of ther subframe…

I had given the car for repair due to some noise on the front passenger side wheel. When the mechanic inspected the hub due to ball bearing problem, he removed the knuckle (spindle) and found that the back portion of the cradle was rusted. Part # 50200-s84-a00 - rr beam. This has been caused due to water dripping from the air condition unit. It needs replacement as the cradle may not last long. *tr

I took this honda accord dx (my2000) to the dealer for 120,000 maintenance in september 2011. They told me the front passenger side subframe rusted very badly. But the driver side subframe was normal with no rust. I thought underbody rust is normal for my car's age and did not pay much attention. But after one month, the front wheels began to make strange noise. I took it to an independent auto repair and they told…

Recently took a 2000 accord se to honda dealer for trade in. The dealership put the car on the hoist for inspection before determining a trade in price. One of the first places that the mechanic looked was at the frame and front suspension on the passenger's side. Almost immediately it was found that over half the width of the front cross beam was wasted away, and was in danger of breaking off at any time. Both the…

When on the road vehicle wanders. It has no neutral point. When trying to correct it, vehicle wanders to the other side. Dealer has been contacted. Also, when brakes are applied, brake pedal continues down its full travel to a mechanical "clunk". Master cylinder has been replaced, but still occurs. *ak *ml
