| Description of the problem | Vehicle is a 2005 honda crv. The upper rear hinge on the trunk (outside the vehicle) rusted completely off and the door fell off the upper hinge, and damaged the lower hinge as well from the weight. It fell onto my upper leg severely bruising it, and i had to muscle the door back on until it could be repaired. According to american honda and my case n012010-03-3101277 (gene) rust is only covered for 3 years. I am astounded that they feel this kind of thing is ok to have happen and that they are unwilling to help resolve this claim. The vehicle is designed so that this hinge is always going to be exposed to the elements - they should know that it is at risk for rust based on exposure. I'm lucky it didn't fall off an injure anyone or fall off while i was driving/ |
