Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2001 Acura TL with 162,000 miles has a subframe that is severely rusted and weakened to the point of collapse on the passenger side of the vehicle. Acura has decided to call this normal wear and tear but I strongly disagree. The air conditioning condensing unit has a small hose for condensate that is located directly above the site of the rust. This hose has been dripping onto the subframe whenever the AC has been in use. …”
