The vehicle handling is poor when making sudden turns (avoidance maneuvers). When I spoke to my local dealer, the Honda representative indicated there is no safety recall and everything metal rusts in this area (southeast wisconsin). He gave me a number for some Honda care center, but after navigating through the automated phone system I found out the center was not open at the time I called. . . Frustrating. Upon examining the underside of the vehicle it is apparent the frame (engine cradle or sub frame) where the stabilizer bar mounts to the frame on the passenger side is totally rusted through, allowing the stabilizer bar to move a great amount only to be held up by the sway bar link pin on the passenger side. My concern is that if the sway bar link pin termination comes loose or breaks, the sway bar will drop and drag on the pavement, possibly catapulting the car.

Both right and left links connnecting the rear stabilizer bar to the rest of the rear suspension broke. This allowed the bar itself to swing freely and bang against other suspension components and the underside of the car. Both links failed in the same way, breaking into two at the lower welded joint.

While returning from vacation the car began to make noises from both front tire areas. The car suspension felt loose and there was a distinct lack of control. The Honda dealer took it in immediately and replaced both front wheel bearings and the links that hold the stabilizing bars to the frame. We have already replaced the bearings in the back wheels.
