I was pulling away from my parking space when i heard a large thunk. Vtm-4, vsa, abs, and [!] lights all went on and the vehicle was making an odd noise. After getting home and noticing that the rear was sitting lower, i looked at the undercarriage and saw that the trailing arms had completely come detached from the sub frame and the rear suspension was being kept in position by the exhaust. This was a monumental…

We were leaving the driveway on christmas eve, we suddenly heard a loud thunk followed by a grinding noise from beneath the vehicle. We stopped immediately and exited the vehicle to see what had happened. I expected to find that we had run over a bicycle but instead found the entire rear axle hanging from the springs. Both rear suspension mounts had catastrophically failed pulling completely out of the subframe. The…

While recently driving my 2006 honda pilot on the highway, the vehicle seemed a little unsteady when cornering. After arriving home, the rear suspension looked too low and the negative camber of the rear wheels looked excessive. Closer inspection revealed the rear frame crossmember had extreme internal corrosion and both rear suspension mounting bolts had completely broken away from the frame (see included photos).…

It turns out that the rear subframe, suspension, and drive train had fallen out of the rear crossmember. This is due to premature rust and inadequate metal used in the rear subframe. The rear subframe and suspension is only being held in with 2 more rusty bolts. This vehicle is not rusty anywhere else and is…

On 8/18/18, while driving on a highway at about 50 mph, we heard a loud thud. Then when the accelerator was pushed, the car made a loud noise. I called my mechanic thinking it might be the exhaust. When he looked at it on 8/22/18, he informed me the rear sub frame was pulling out of the body, and the car was not safe to drive. He said this shouldn't have happened to a car that is 12 years old, and in good mechanical…
