Consumer Description

Water has been leaking into interior part of my hatchback and has moved into the tail lights for years. Honda dealerships have been aware of that problem I have been having. Now water is leaking inside the car causing the seatbelts to be wet and the seats to be wet and damaged and the interior headliner is soaked and dripping inside the car. I currently have the car at the dealership. They could not figure out what was causing this in their initial diagnosis. Now they want to take off the headliner for a ridiculous sum in which I can not afford. I called Honda customer Care as I believe my car has a manufacturer defect from the beginning. There has been recalls on other vins with this exact problem, but they refuse to acknowledge that my car had these issues and should be fixed like the ones that were recalled. I believe my car should be part of that recall and fixed. The dealer has been dealing with my car leakage problems that have gotten significantly worse. Honda customer service refuses to call the dealer to have them do a diagnosis. Honda wants me to pay the outrageous fee the dealer wants to charge me. The dealer wants to charge me $1395.00 just to look at the car. That’s not even to fix it. I am aware of a class action lawsuit that Honda is knowingly selling cars with defective sunroof issues. My car has a sunroof in it. The dealer claims my sunroof is not the problem. I want this looked into please as there are many complaints out there about HRV and roof leaking. Not to mention recalls for leakage in Hondas. Dealer wants me to trade in my car. I feel they are trying to cover up what’s really going on with these cars and roof leakage.
