Consumer Description

MY 2007 HONDA FIT SPORT (AUTOMATIC) HAS HAD A TRUNK LEAK FOR YEARS. I HAD NOTICED WET CARPETING BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BUT ASSUMED IT WAS FROM WET SHOES AFTER RAINFALL. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS IN FACT A FAILURE IN THE WINDOW/DOOR SEAL IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE CAR HAD BEGUN TO DEVELOP AN ODOR WHICH, WHEN I CHECKED TODAY, HAS TURNED INTO MOLD. WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL BECAUSE OF FEARS OF INHALING MOLD SPORES. I HAD CHECKED THE FITFREAK.NET WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AMONG FIT OWNERS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? MY CAR IS WORTHLESS UNLESS THIS CAN BE FIXED AND THE MOLD TOTALLY REMOVED. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY: WATER WILL SEEP IN FROM THE FRAME, WET THE CARPET, AND PRODUCE MOLD.
