Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LEAKING THROUGH THE DOOR SEALS COMPLETELY SOAKING THE REAR CARPET CAUSING MOLD TO GROW AND PUDDLES TO FORM. HONDA HAS ISSUED RECALLS FOR LEAKING WATER INTO SWITCH AREAS BUT DENIES ALL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE. ANY INTERNET SEARCH WILL BRING UP HUNDREDS OF 2007 AND 2008 HONDA FITS WITH THIS EXACT PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. THE MOLD ISSUE HAS RENDERED THE VEHICLE UNSAFE AND LOWERED ANY RESALE VALUE. DEALERSHIPS WANT APPROXIMATELY $400 TO JUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND THE HONDA CORPORATION WILL NOT HELP IN ANY WAY WITH THE PROBLEM. *TR
