2001 ACURA MDX Structure Problems

Horrible rust on subframe. Subframe disconnected from vehicle WHILE DRIVING!!! Very lucky I was not going at a high speed. This is very unsafe, and there are many similar complaints for these MDXs/Pilots online.

I HAVE A 2001 MDX WITH REAR SUBFRAME BUSHING BOLTS THAT ARE RUSTED OUT AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE BODY. THE BACK END HAS BEEN CLUNKING. THE REAR SUBFRAME BOLTS THAT GOES THROUGH THE BUSHING HAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE BODY FROM WHAT LOOKS LIKE RUSTED OUT CONNECTORS OR MAYBE THE BODY ITSELF.

VEHICLE WAS BACKED INTO GARAGE PARKING SPACE AS USUAL BY WIFE. KEY REMOVED, VEHICLE WAS THOUGHT TO BE IN PARK. PARKING BRAKE NOT APPLIED. GARAGE DOOR WAS LEFT OPEN. 30 MINUTES LATER, VEHICLE WAS NOT IN GARAGE AND WAS STRAIGHT ACROSS THE CUL-DE-SAC AT NEIGHBORS DRIVEWAY 6' AWAY FROM THEIR CAR. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, MINOR DAMAGE AND PAINT SCRAPES WERE OBSERVED AT BACK OF NEIGHBORS BUMPER AND RIGHT FRONT OF THE MDX. PLASTIC CLIP WAS OBSERVED ON GROUND THAT ATTACHED PLASTIC BUMPER TO BODY OF MDX. SHIFTER WAS FOUND TO BE IN REVERSE ON MDX. TESTING AFTER THE FACT SHOWED THAT THE KEY CAN BE REMOVED WHILE NOT IN PARK. I NOTICED A RECALL STARTING WITH 2003 MDX OF THE KEY BEING REMOVABLE WHILE NOT IN PARK. WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND HAVE BEEN AT SAME ADDRESS. *JS
