Description of the problem | Two months after the purchase, the navi went out on the vehicle. The navi was repaired; however, march 3rd, the back-up camera went dark on the screen; after several attempts it worked again. Mar 8-10th, i drove the vehicle with no problems. Mar 11th, i worked from home; the vehicle was not moved during the entire time. The vehicle keys remained on the kitchen table. Tuesday, mar 11th, at 3:00a. M. (spouse moved his vehicle to the street) the vehicle windows were all closed. I reiterate, the keys were on the table and the windows to the vehicle were all closed. Mar 12th, 7:00, on my way to work, i noticed first that the driver side window was completely rolled down and rain had poured in. When i opened the car door, i was amazed to see that all of the windows were down and the sun roof completely open. I've never even opened all the windows at the same time since owning the vehicle. Shortly after driving the car, all the system lights came on and fds failed was displayed on the dashboard indicator. I called honda, informed them of the problem and then drove the vehicle to the dealership. I was later informed by the service assistant that both boxes (i'm guessing electrical boxes) had a substantial amount of water in them, shorting out the system. Honda is seemingly comfortable with shifting the cause of the problem, e. G., that i probably... Left the windows open, pressed all three buttons on the automatic key (didn't even know you could do this) or maybe had the keys in my purse and something pushed all three buttons simultaneously. In short, the window as well as who knows other parts were affected by a malfunction in the electrical system. |
