2001 HONDA ACCORD LX SUB FRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS RUSTED THROUGH. ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE SUB FRAME APPEAR TO BE IS SOLID CONDITION.

2001 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER LEARNED AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, AND HAD IT FIXED, A CLASS-ACTION SUIT HAD BEEN FILED AGAINST HONDA. PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION, THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING ON UPON SHIFTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP, AND UPON DISASSEMBLY, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE THIRD GEAR CLUTCH PACK WAS WORN. ALSO, THE STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING.

I HAD MY 01 HONDA ACCORD EX RECENTLY INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND A RUSTY HOLE (SIZE OF A QUARTER) ON THE TOPSIDE OF THE SUBFRAME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY STATED, THAT OTHER THAN THIS SMALL RUSTED AREA, THE REST OF THE SUBFRAME AND CAR BODY WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND COMPLETELY FREE OF RUST. MECHANIC STATED, AIR CONDITIONING UNIT IS DRAINING ON THIS AREA OF THE SUBFRAME AND THIS COULD BE UNDER RECALL. THEY SAID THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THE SUBFRAME SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP, AND RECOMMENDED I TAKE IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL ISSUES. TOOK IT TO MIKE PRUITT HONDA AKRON,OH FOR INSPECTION (FOR THIS ISSUE), THEY PUT IT ON A LIFT AND FROM UNDERNEATH SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A HOLE IN THE SUBFRAME. I TOLD THEM, THE RUST HOLE IS ONLY VISIBLE ON THE TOPSIDE OF THE PASSENGERSIDE SUBFRAME. THEY FOUND A SMALL HOLE (WHERE I MENTIONED), SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE, AND THERE WEREN'T ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY DENIED IT WAS CAUSED BY THE AIR CONDITIONING LEAKING ON THAT PART OF THE SUBFRAME, YET COULDN'T GIVE ME AN ALTERNATE REASON.THEY WERE EVASIVE AND DISHONEST AND TOLD THEM I'M GOING TO ANOTHER DEALER. I BROUGHT IT TO PARK HONDA FOR THEIR INSPECTION, THEY FOUND THE RUST HOLE, AND RECOMMENDED THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2250.00. THEY EVADED ANSWERING WHAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE (AIR-CONDITIONING LEAKING ON SUBFRAME) . I HAD THEM DO THIS WORK AND IN THE MEANTIME,I WILL CONSULT A LAWYER. *TR

ON 4 SEPERATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR UNDER 35 MPH, WHEN THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING. TODAY I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED WHEN IT HAPPENED. ALL THE EVENTS HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE RADIO HAS BEEN SKIPPING STATIONS THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT CONTROLS THE CLOCK DOES NOT WORK AT LONGER. THE MOST CONCERNING ISSUE IS LOSING POWER AS I'M DRIVING, WONDERING IF THE PERSON BEHIND ME IS GOING TO STOP AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES AND PUTTING ON MY EMERGENCY SIGNALS. I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2001 MODEL. SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE SITUATION TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A NOTICE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES WHEN THE CAR LOSES POWER.

OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ABOUT 48 DEGREES. MY WIFE DROVE ABOUT A MILE FROM THE TRAIN STATION PARKED THE CAR TO PICK OUR CHILD FROM THE DAY CARE. THE IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN EVEN THOUGH SHE TRIED WITH ALL HER STRENGTH. SHE REQUESTED ANOTHER PARENT (MALE) TO HELP. HE TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL WITH FORCE AND THE IGNITION TURNED. HE SAID HE WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE HER WHEELS WERE NOT TURNED. HE SAID THIS NORMALLY HAPPENS IF THE WHEELS ARE IN THE TURNED POSITION WHEN PARKING, BUT THEY WERE NOT. GOOD THING THE TEMPERATURE WAS NOT 40 BELOW ZERO AS THEY CAN BE HERE. IS THIS A KNOWN PROBLEM ? IS THERE A FIX ? *NLM
