About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I brought my car to a certified auto shop for routine maintenance and during the inspection the mechanic lifted the car and allowed me to take pictures of the rusted sub- frame on the passenger side. It is very clear that the air conditioning unit drains directly into sub-frame causing condensation along with a puddle of water sitting on the frame which caused a rusted hole in the sub-frame. The spout for the air conditioner should be extended to allow the water to go directly onto the ground. Due the faulty design several Honda owners will need to have their sub frame replace along with the bearing. This is a high safety risk while driving, the rusted frame could fall apart and potentially causing accident.

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.

Took vehicle to mechanic to inspect wheel noise. Inspection resulted in replacement of ball joint. Inspection also revealed 80-85% rust-out of subframe on passenger side. No other undercarriage rust is evident and the vehicle is otherwise in excellent condition. This is the same area of the subframe which has been reported as a 'defect' due to factory placement of the A/C drain hose. This is a dangerous condition waiting to happen.

There are 2 recalls on my year, make & model that I am experiencing. However, Honda claims my VIN is not included in the recall. I find it very odd that I could be experiencing both of the recalls, but my car is excluded. I also have seen several complaints all over the internet about the clearcoat on '98-'02 Honda's peeling. Honda is not accepting responsibility for the defective clearcoat.
