    The rear engine beam rusted through on the passenger side of my 2001 honda accord ex 4 cylinder sedan rendering the vehicle un-drivable. Honda motor co refuses to accept responsibility for this issue which is a design defect caused by the air conditioner drain line being placed so that it leaked onto the passenger side of the rear engine beam. The driver side of the beam is perfect, with no rust issue. I have been…

    I brought my 2001 honda accord, which is in pristine condition, with 158,000 miles in to my mechanic.

    The green paint on the roof and door started to peel off and generated white layer substance. I noticed many honda green cars have similar problems, i believe that this is badly manufactured, faulty and defective paint. *tr

    The clear coat is peeling. Started on the roof. Then the trunk now it appears the hood may be starting. I kept this car well maintained and there was no good reason for the clear coat to start to peel. Honda gave me $500 in "loyalty cash". I have seen this problem on numerous other honda accords dating to the early 2000's. When it first started i thought it was due to using car washes. But then i noticed other…
