1 Spare Tire problem of the 2008 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 12/09/2013

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.

2 Spare Tire problem of the 2008 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 07/20/2011

Water in spare tire well. Originally thought water in the tire well was due to hatch opening during rain/snow, but since vehicle was not used for a week during heavy rain, this must be due to a leaking window seal.
