Frame Rust problems of the 2000 Honda Accord

Right side sub-frame, rear beam, k frame is completely rusted through from a/c drain line installed to drain directly onto the subframe. This causes the steering to flex substantially and According to my mechanic could cause the car steering to fail catastrophically or could allow the motor and transmission to fall out of the car. Anti-sway bar is completely broken away from the frame. Found by mechanic checking my car to determine what was wrong with the steering and cornering.

A month and a half ago I took my 2000 Honda Accord for exhaust repair, the mechanic told me that the subframe that hold the car engine motor has completely rusted, I went ahead and to the car to Honda motorcar dealer because of of defective hood latch switch that made the factory car alarm system to go off non-stop, I living a nightmare. Nway the dealer wanted and still want 400 to replace the hood latch switch, the dealer also said the same thing the mechanic had said earlier that the vehicle subframe is rusted and need to be replaced, they need almost 1200 dollars to do so. This a major structural component of the vehicle that can accident and death. I need to drive my car every day for work purposes. How comes there was no recall on this major structural component that holds the vehicle together.

Front passenger side of subframe rotted. Driver side is good. Inspector said Honda will not fix. This is inexcusable. When will NHTSA do something about this. Should I call my congress man to get this problem to be known to the mass public. I cant believe that someone hasn't been killed with this blatantly obvious disregard for familes who use these cars, and not know the danger. Reminds me of when I contacted the nhsta on my Toyota tacoma frame rusting off the truck and having my daughter in the truck praying we could make it home. I ended up selling the truck for half the price of it to only hear a month later that Toyota was at least willing to fix the problem. But to late for me and a lot of other owners.

Recently I heard a clunking sound coming from the front of the car. Upon inspection the mechanic said that the sub frame on the passenger's side had rusted/rotted out and that the front suspension had come loose from the sub frame. 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 looked on the internet and this was a Honda design defect and that numerous individuals had reported the same problem. I asked if Honda was willing to do anything to help with the repair because it was a design defect and that I had been a loyal Honda customer for years. The service manager contacted Hondas district service manager who replied that Honda was not willing to cover any of the $2,000. 00 cost of replacing the sub frame. I then followed up with american Honda motor CO. , inc. 's main customer service department in California. I spoke with [xxx] and she put me on hold for a long time. When she returned she said that the district service manager had said Honda was not going to do anything to help so the main customer service people were not able to do anything to help. A short time ago my grandson, a student at bowling green state university, purchased a 1998 Honda Accord for $4000. 00. Upon recent inspection of that car the sub frame has rusted/rotted out the same as my car and many other Honda Accords. I believe that Honda should be responsible for recalling and repairing these unsafe automobiles before someone is injured or killed as a result of their design defect and that they will continue to be unwilling to do so as long as individuals have no power to make them take responsibility. I am asking that you make it a priority to investigate and issue a recall of all these automobiles with Honda's design defect.
