1 Electrical Jack problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2012

I recently encountered a very dangerous situation with my 1998 Accord. One day when driving home, I noticed the car felt like it was all over the road and felt like I had no control over the steering wheel. The next day after jacking it up, I discovered the entire right side of the subframe was rusted out, not even attached to the car anymore. It had broken loose. I hate to think what would have happened if I had kept driving it in this condition and hit a large bump. After researching parts for it, I discovered the many people with the same exact problem, and also found out nothing is being done about it. Apparently the ac drain lines leak and rust out the subframe over time. This is a major safety issue and Honda needs to do something about it. If undetected, this could be very dangerous and cause a fatal car accident! I had no choice at this point but pay the very costly repair bill to make my car driveable and safe again. Just bringing this safety issue to your attention. 98-02 6th gen Honda Accord. Thanks.
