My Hatch has been filling up with lots of water not too long after I began leasing it and it sloshes around, it is in my rear lights, has made the inside light of my hatch no longer work. Now, water is leaking in from both rear windows and somewhere in through the fabric of the inside back roof area creating a growing water stain and mold. Spare Tire well in back also fills up with up to 2 inches of water. Mold, Rust, Electrical problems and more are the result. Honda has not yet taken care of it although I have had a diagnostic and see that it has been reported here multiple times.
I have a 2016 HR-V A large amount of water gets trapped inside the rear tail light which can short out the lights if not repaired. I noticed it after hearing water sloshing around every time I opened the rear trunk. This is a manufacturing defect and a definite safety issue for Honda. Problem has been an issue since at least 2017 but nothing has been done. Others have reported this as well. Took it to Honda dealer who claimed no knowledge of any issues like this
Multiple times within the past year, especially if it is cooler outside, my car screen for my mileage, gas tank hand, and all of that electrical stuff will completely disappear. When it shows back up most of the time it will have crazy letters and start flashing. The icon with the key has recently popped up on my dash which stands for something being wrong with the system.
The rear hatch door has water inside of it. Both taillights have condensation in them and you can hear water sloshing around when you open and close the door. Electrical components have started to malfunction due to the water and Honda doesn't care because the warranty has expired.
To cancel a tire inflation warning at approx. 17,000 miles, I popped the hood of the vehicle to access the negative battery cable with the intention of disconnecting +reconnecting to clear warning.instead I found both neg.+pos. Cables unsecured to both battery posts.I contacted american Honda to report this defect, request a battery replacement, electrical system test+error code retrieval.this extremely dangerous situation may have permanently damaged the vehicle+despite my numerous calls to Honda, I've yet to receive a response.this is a build, sales+service problem that should not exist on any new vehicle sold.symptoms prior to discovery=dimming headlamps@idle, poor transmission+engine response, reduced mileage+intermittent burning smell.I was fortunate my vehicle never died in traffic or caught fire.my case number with Honda=05755540.again, my concern is that the factory in Mexico, the selling dealer in temecula and the first servicing deaer in anaheim(@10,000 service)never verified that the battery cables were properly secured for safe operation.my mechanical service experience+dumb luck should not be a substitute for Honda's failure on multiple levels.short of "I'm very sorry" from the person taking my initial complaint, Honda has done nothing to correct the described problem.
Observed Hr-V pulling into driveway at night. Car completely dark. Brake lights work normally, drl's appeared to be on. I assumed driver forgot to turn on lights. Two weeks later, driver pulled over by police at night for no parking lights. Trobleshooting showed normal brake lights, turn signals, hazard flashers, and dash lights dim when parking lights selected. Could not find any fuse or relay referenced in the owners manual for the parking lights. Found a schematic online and isolated problem to a "taillight relay" but could not find the relay referenced in the owners manual, or find location online. Took car to dealer for warranty repair. Relay located in hidden compartment under battery. Safety issue - parking lights inop- only repairable by dealer- no reference in owner's manual for hidden taillight relay - stopped by police at night on intestate and given verbal warning for safety violation.
