NHTSA complaint #11319792, filed 2020-03, 230,000 miles“Took my vehicle to get rear struts replaced and state inspection. Was told car would fail because rear crossover sub frame was rotted beyond repair along with rear bumper frame. Ive been hearing thumping coming from rear right of vehicle thts why I thought it was a strut.

NHTSA complaint #10117933, filed 2005-04, 17,950 miles“My father is an owner of a 2001 Honda Accord ex v6 sedan. The car was purchased in july 2001 and has recently exceeded its warranty mileage of 36,000 miles.

NHTSA complaint #10010518, filed 2003-03, 36,000 miles“The sub frame on the passenger side is extremely rusted out on the top side of the frame making it harder to notice. The drivers side is fine, but under the AC drain on the passenger side, almost rusted through making the car undriveable. Fortunately, I noticed it while replacing the stabilizer link but this has to be a safety concern for Honda.”
