Paint bubbles on the front roof near the windshield has resulted in windshield seal to disintegrate and leak water when it rains. Can't run the car through carwash! Expect the water leak to damage internal electronics in the near future.

Clicking noise was coming from front suspension area. Car was inspected by a local mechanic and stated that there was a water leak from the air conditioner condenser onto the passenger side of the front subframe. As a result, the subframe fractured on the passenger side. The mechanic stated that the subframe was rusted and fractured. The front subframe needed to be replaced. Mechanic stated that the car was unsafe to drive as it could have resulted in severe injuries/death. Contacted american honda on 7-15-15 to get a goodwill repair since this is a common issue with other owners as a result of manufacture defect. Amal, the representative in the product concerns department stated that it is honda's policy not to issue goodwill since the car is out of warranty and is 15 years old. Honda - not everyone can afford brand new cars!!! Your reputation has been to produce safe, dependable vehicles, but your lack of actual "customer support" shows otherwise. I was shocked to see that in 2012 this issue was brought to the public's attention including the safety regulators, http://www.newsnet5.com/news/local-news/investigations/center-for-auto-safety-requesting-recall-of-1-5-million-honda-accords-for-rust-issue-in-sub-frame. I urge the federal safety agency to do the right thing and represent us consumers by having honda issue a recall for this defect. Please do something asap before people get hurt and we have another fiasco, I.e., gm ignition, takata airbags.

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.
