The ac rubber hose leaks water and drips on the sub frame causing the sub frame to rust out. The rust totally cracked the sub frame, which in turn, caused the suspension to the be loose. From what I have researched online, this has happened to hundred of consumers. My husband has made a video and has taken the steps to warn the consumers of a cars which were engineered so poorly, and could risk the lives of any one driving this model. I wonder who is in charge of safety for vehicles manufactured by Honda--the complaints from hundreds of consumers regarding the same issue dated way back 2009, but it seemed that neither Honda, nor the government did anything to address the issue. I hope you act, before people get killed due to this safety hazard. I will save this complaint and research Honda cars 1999 thru 2002 and when someone dies from this mistake will make sure the world weighs in through social media.
