2016 Honda HR-V Structure

Faulty seams and gaskets in the rear cause water to leak into spare tire well. This causes mold & mildew issues to occur. From online research, this is an extremeley common issue for the 2016 Honda HR-V. There is evidence that the water is coming in through the rear tail lights. This has been a common failure point for many others online, which is why I think this is worthy of recall. I first had mold issues about 18 months ago. I thought it may have been from a spilled drink, so I sanitized the upholstery and moved on. Now a few weeks after some rainy weather, I found mold on the upholstery again and felt increased interior humidity in the car. My point is that this issue could remain benign for a long time and manifest as mold during heavy/rainy weather.

The white orchid paint is peeling off on top of car and sides

The car is a 2016 Honda HRV. The car is orchid pearl (white) and has developed extensive paint issues where the paint is peeling on the doors and potentially places on the roof. The car is an excellent overall condition with no history of auto accidents. This paint issue is common for this color HRV and impacts the value of the vehicle and will lead to body surface rust and the problem continues to worsen each month.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? -while driving (Honda HRV) the sunroof exploded and shattered glass sprayed all over our family. Nothing hit or caused trauma to the glass, it simply exploded by itself. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -shattered glass sprayed all over 3 adults and an infant and could have caused facial injuries, abrasions, and more. Additionally the loud noise of the explosion and distraction of the event could have led to a car wreck on a busy highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? -Unsure. I did see a class action law suit with Honda. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? -in process Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? -No

After a rain storm, I noticed that the trunk door of my Honda HRV was filled with water. I could tell that it had a large amount of water in it because I could hear the water sloshing when driving. I also saw water slowly dripping from the trunk door when I opened it. I could tell that there was a lot more water in the door, but there was no way for me to drain it. In addition to having water in my trunk door, I found that the water had also filled in the spare tire well. Upon researching the issue, I have found that this is a common issue with my make and model as many people on a forum reported the same issue. I believe this is a safety issue because it can cause mold problems which is a health hazard. It can also cause damage to the trunk door and electrical components. In addition, water filling in the spare tire well could cause issues with the spare tire and potentially make it unusable. I took my car to the Honda service center and was told that this is a known problem for my make and model, and that the rubber around the tail light deteriorated. Their solution was to replace the tail lights, which would cost over a thousand dollars. Although I understand that rubber can deteriorate, this issue is not found on most cars and is specific to my model. The car should be designed to drain water and not have its parts fill up with water if the rubber has deteriorated.

PAINT IS PEELING ON ROOF NEAR SUNROOF AND ON PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR BELOW THE WINDOW. CAR IS WHITE PEARL ORCHID AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON DEFECT FOR THE 2016 MODEL. CAR WAS STATIONARY, HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, IS CLEANED ON A REGULAR BASIS.

PAINT IS PEELING ON MULTIPLE BODY PANELS. AND THERE ARE RUST SPOTS IN THE PAINT.

THERE ARE TWO AREAS WHERE THE PRIMARY PAINT FROM HONDA IS PEELING/CRACKING. BOTH LOCATIONS ARE ABOUT THE SAME IN SIZE (ABOUT A QUARTER), AND EXHIBIT PEELING/CRACKING DOWN TO THE BODY METAL. THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LOCATIONS, THE AREAS ARE AS FOLLOWS: #1 IS ON THE DRIVER DOOR RIGHT BELOW THE WINDOW TRIM; #2 IS ON THE ROOF ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEXT TO THE SUNROOF. THE PAINT IS ORIGINAL FROM HONDA (2016 HRV), WITH DEALER APPLIED ZAKTEK AT TIME OF PURCHASE (MANDATORY BY HONDA DEALER).

PAINT IS BLISTERING AND PEELING AWAY ALL THE SUDDEN ON ROOF OF CAR AND ON SIDE OF CAR NEAR WINDSHIELD. PAINT IS WHITE AND WHEN RESEARCHED, THIS IS AND ISSUE WITH 2016 HONDA HRV. DEALORSHIP CALLED AND CANNOT SEE ME FOR A FEW MORE DAYS. WAS TOLD TO FILE A REPORT HERE AND THEY WILL LOOK WHEN I GET THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA HR-V. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE NOTICED A WATER LEAK ON THE REAR HATCH OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REGAL HONDA (2615 LAKELAND HILLS BLVD, LAKELAND, FL 33805; (863) 232-5671) AND THE MECHANIC WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING WATER SWISHING IN MY TRUNK HATCH. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY CAN LOOK AT IT FOR $129 BUT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A BAD SEAL. HE ASKED IF IT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT HASN'T. I LOOKED ON THE HRV ONLINE FORUM AND THERE HAS BEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS VERY SAME THING. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT THEIR COST. IT COULD REALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HATCH OR THE TAIL LIGHT SAFETY. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2016.
