I have a cracked exhaust manfold, I understand several other people have had the same problem. Need to have a recall.
Rain beginning 2/1/14 for 4 days (1 day 3 inches of rain) rain ran into car on left driver's side floor board soaking carpet & mats. Went to several repair shops but they did not handle water leaks, went to wolfchase Honda where I purchased car sept 2005 supposedly new vehicle on wed 2/5/14. After 2 days said it was front windshield & it needed to be resealed . I purchased new windshield 2/17/14 after current one cracked when trying to reseal after removing at auto windshield CO. Rain still ran into car after freezing ice, rain, sleet & snow several days & nights 2/22/14 to 2/25/14. Took car back to wolfchase Honda but service mgr. Abdul jones does not want to do anything since car out of warranty, 9 yrs old. Jones stated NHTSA don't mean nothing, don't care about numerous complaints for same problem. Water leaking in trunk since Nov. 2010 (also numerous complaints). I have spoken to jones 4 times but he does not want to do anything. Not able to reach gen. Mgr. Of dealer. Please investigate, do recall. Car not designed or made correctly. Hole in roof (not welded to body right) where rain runs directly into car (source found by auto glass shop not dealer). I spent money on windshield but it was not the issue as told to me by dealer. Defective vehicle.
