Honda accord 2001 4-dr sab: passenger side rear front engine support completely rusted away due to AC leak. Driver side rear front subframe is completely fine, no rust. Mechanic said car is too dangerous to drive unless I invest in new subframe for over $1,200. My car only has 70,000 miles on it and I'm very disappointed it hasn't been recalled for clearly a defective AC leakage. I have found many forums with the same problem including the article 'center for auto safety requesting recall of 1.5 million honda accords for rust issue in sub- frame and honda accords found with sub-frames rusted out by the nhou. I could have been seriously injured driving this car while I worked as a food delivery driver for grubhub. I deserve compensation, my passenger subframe is completely rusted out and hanging by a thread whereas my driver side subframe is completely fine. That doesn't just happen it should have been recalled.

Takata recall I am writing you because I brought a car a little under a year ago. I was driving it 2 weeks ago and my breaks gave out it was my break line. I got the car looked at and my frame is rusted and caved in on my break line. I called the dealer the same day nomore then 30min after it happen. The father was not there which is the man who sold me the car at nehre service. He was on vacation he came home 5/16/18 which is 2weeks and a day of it happening. He told me that I need to call the honda factory there was nothing he could do for me. I'm writing this complaint because by law you can not sale a car with a rusted, damaged or bruised frame. He refused to late me trade in when my payments was done which was back in september. I'm to the point where I don't know what to do. Please help me because I put 3000 dollars into this car at this man shop. Please get back to me, I almost lost my life because of this.
