Description of the problem | A rodent built a nest in the blower motor of our 2013 honda cr-v. The rodent nest affected the operation of the motor, and caused rodent contaminated air to be circulated throughout the cabin. This health hazard could have been avoided by installing screening that would prevent rodents from entering the blower motor. The screening is technologically and economically feasible for honda motor company, ltd. ("honda"). In addition to the safety hazard, honda refuses to cover, under warranty, service and repairs for blower motor damage caused by infiltrating rodents despite the design defect. After reviewing complaints available on the internet, it appears that there are many consumers that have been similarly affecting by the design defect, and by honda's unwillingness to take responsibility for the defect. |
