Consumer Description

VEHICLE PARKED DURING RAIN EVENT, NOTED HEAVY LEAKAGE INTO SPARE TIRE WELL AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR FLOORBOARDS. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES. WINDOWS HEAVILY FOGGED/ICED UP FROM MOISTURE IN CABIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE THIS MONTH. SECURED DEALER APPOINTMENT, BUT WHEN I ARRIVED I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN THEIR LEAK SPECIALIST IS AT THE SHOP (WHY DOES HONDA HAVE A REGULARLY-SCHEDULED LEAK SPECIALIST??). I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT LEAKED WATER. THE FIT NOW HAS RUSTY METAL PARTS, WET CARPET, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM WATER INFILTRATION. *TR
