NHTSA Complaint #10680169 — 2010 HONDA INSIGHT

MOULDING SEAL AROUND REAR TRIANGLE (NON-OPENING) WINDOWS DETACHED ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR CREATING AN UNSEALED WINDOW AND CAUSING RUBBER 'STRIPS' TO FLAP WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED OVER 35MPH. SOON AFTER, THE ENTIRE RUBBER SEAL ON PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DETACHED ALLOWING MOISTURE AND OTHER ELEMENTS TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT MOULDING IS NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURERS NOR EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PURCHASED AND THAT REPAIRS WOULD COST A MINIMUM OF $800. I CALLED HONDA AMERICA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT MAINTAIN A DATABASE OF DEFECTS. I HAVE OWNED HONDAS IN THE PAST AND HAVE NEVER FOUND THEM TO BE SO SHODDILY CONSTRUCTED. I OWN A 1968 VEHICLE THAT STILL HAS ALL MOULDING IN TACT. UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
