My name is [XXX] - currently own Honda HRV. The Honda HRV was purchased late 2017. Recently after service recall by Honda my car was repaired for service recall by Honda Dealer dealer - 2 days after rain the front passenger floor area next to driver was flooded With water - I immediately took car back to dealer and told them to look at what was wrong as we never had this problem earlier- the service manager told me that there will be charges to even look at it - which I refused to pay as the car I handed before service recall never had this issue. Now with the rains the passenger area next to driver gets flooded every time and after calling Honda they have not responded so far other than informing that they will look up in to it and call me - this has been frustrating experience as it is raining every day for last few days - so please help ASAP. Also checked on internet as one of my friends who has repair garage told me that had similar issue, so inspite of the fact that several of Honda cars have similar problem and it is all over internet ; how come Honda is not aware of this manufacturing defect. This is an serious issue if water remains inside the car will have mold and the car will not be usable - please inform what should a customer do the car is only 3 to 4 years old with just 33,000 miles on it. Honda issued a case number [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

A total brake failure caused an accident. When pressing the brake pedal, it was rock solid and would not budge. My wife was driving getting off a highway exit when the brakes failed and rear ended an SUV stopped at a stop sign. The accident caused her back injury which still bothers her to this day. The crash wasn't bad enough to deploy the airbags, but car damage was over $5000. This problem also happened to me once and happened once again to her. Thankfully, no accident these other two times. Releasing and attempting to press the brake pedal a few time eventually made the brakes work normally. This was when we finally decided to give up the lease because my wife and I did not feel safe driving the car anymore. The car was only 2 years old and had approximately 10000 miles on it. I as a master auto technician B would guess the problem was likely be caused by something jamming up in the brake booster or master cylinder, but the dealer was never able to duplicate the problem and never replaced anything.

The paint on the roof has started peeling severely. It's flaking in several spots from the initial defect. There is evidence of prior repair or damage that was not documented or brought by the dealership. This is a known issue with this make and model of the paint bubbling, peeling and braking off. It is consistently deteriorating. This car is only 4 years old this is a huge concern and problem. Reports have been submitted to Honda.com and Honda of salem located at 1101 van ness ave ne salem or 97301

The paint on the roof of the vehicle has started to peel without a reason. The car was parked and I came out to find a good size paint chip to the top of the windshield. Nothing has hit the roof and there is no dent from the paint being hit.

Paint is peeling off top of 2017 Honda hrv. Was told this is not covered under warranty. This is not an expense I should have to pay out of my pocket. I paid car in full at the time of purchase. I have researched this. And it is problem many Honda's are having. They should stand behind their product and do the right thing.

Found water leaking inside driver side on the floor. Took the vehicle to victory Honda of Plymouth dealership. They found 0tfrt 841199 lower apillar inner body plug missing. Replaced plug. Seems to be common issue with Honda vehicles. Somebody needs to investigate due to being so close to the fuse box. Can be safety concern.
