Took my vehicle in for inspection. Mechanic has informed me that the subframe on the passenger side has completely rusted out and is due for immediate failure. Upon researching the subframe for the 6th generation Honda Accord, multiple articles, blogs, and even a news video report by wews news channel 5, point to a/c drain hose as the issue causing premature wear. The driver's side subframe is significantly in much better condition vs the passenger side.
Mileage: 133,000- started my car at home and couldn't get it out of park. Tried turning it off and then on again while stepping on the breaks. Break petal release and hit the floor. Had to tow vehicle to shop. Shop found that entire under body (sub-frame) was rusted, rotted/ leaking. Brake and fuel lines totally rotted along with entire under body, especially noted- located on the front passenger side near the strut assembly, beneath the air conditioner drain. Total cost over $2,000. Also, paint pealing/ rusting off. Started at 60,000 miles. After reading hundreds of complaints online regarding these same issues, and finding that Honda is not taking responsibility (air conditioner is located right above engine) I have decided not to spend another time on this car and will never purchase another Honda for as long as I live. I guess people have to die before Honda will admit model flaw. I'm so lucky I wasn't driving when my breaks went out.

My 18 year old son bought a 2001 Honda Accord after saving his money. One year later while having a oil change the mechanic noticed the front passenger side of front subframe was rotted so bad a section was missing. Terrible that Honda will do nothing about this problem that seems to affect many Accords. I encouraged him to buy a Honda or Toyota for their reliability, at least Toyota did a recall on their frames.
From a position of park in a parking garage to the position of drive the car immediately began accelerating uncontrollably. The gas pedal seemed stuck and slight pressure on it to get it unstuck made the car go faster so I placed both feet on the brake pedal with full downward force but the car kept accelerating. I finally had to crash into another vehicle to prevent my car from hitting people walking in the parking garage.

To Honda corporation recall department on June 19 2014 I was driving my 2001 Honda Accord coupe when I was suddenly hit by a delivery truck who was trying to make an illegal left turn in front of me. My car was total. The front side and passenger side of my car are totally demolished. The irony of it all is that, the front and the side air bag failed to deploy. And as the result I was severely injured without the protection of the air bag. On March 2015 which is almost a year after my accident I received an air bag recall letter from Honda corporation. I should have received the warning and recall letter before my accident which is June 19 20014. Honda corporation is responsible for my injuries for making a defaulted air bag and failed to warn me about the situation before my accident. I am asking the maker of Honda to pay for my outstanding medical bills which is incurred due to the accident. I still have my Honda. Honda corporation refuse to reply to my letter. That's why I am making this complaint to the Honda corporation truly samson tesfasion 444 lucas avenue #11 los angeles, CA 90017 (213)481-1917.

The car was involved in a wreck with an 18 wheeler that had a trailer on it. It pulled out in front of my car and the trailer hit the front of my car where it totaled my car. The air bag had all types of trash that sms out once the air bag exploded. Auhust.

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.
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 vehicles having the same problem. Honda didn't even send a representative to look at the car when I requested one.
