Yep, that's it. It varies a little for each car it seems.
Stunningly stupid for a little issue like this to go on so long. A simple line change-out of thicker foam or a more rigid spoiler would resolve the problem.

FER DAWG DAWGDAWG!!!!

at least I like my dealer......

 

Welcome, Scuddy!

Sorry for giving you something to worry over (but it IS good to know).

 

Well, I followed step #3 in regards calling Honda of America. The guy seemed very friendly, and I could hear him typing away. I made sure to get a case number as well.

I e-mailed the service manager with the same pictures I posted, and whenever I have a need to go to the dealership (maybe oil change or something), I will let them know of the issue. I think I will also e-mail the fleet manager, who sold me the car, since I am probably still fresh in his mind.

On a side note: About 450 miles on my first tank of gas, and I have about 3 bars left!

 

I have an appointment in the morning with my service manager and his manager. I've printed out the relevant pages so I have reference to telephone #'s. Plus I've got new pic's with the nifty-50/1.8 so I should be set.




Went & got my info in the local "system" and even have a bit of paper to that effect. Of course they haven't seen/heard of this yet. Well, until today.

 

I'll have to wash mine and see if I have it. Then again, maybe not.......

 

After reading through this whole string, it seems like every report of this problem is being treated like the "first report" by Honda. Might I suggest those that have had the issue and logged a case, provide their case numbers, as further evidence for everyone that approaches their dealer? I like to be prepared with lots of documentation, when visiting my dealer, and having the case numbers of what sounds like a growing number of owners, will go a long was toward showing the dealers and Honda that we are all "Mad as he!! and not going to take it any more" !!

 

I have a white 2007 about 2 mo. old. I checked it out and I can notice some small scratches. When I rub the dust off, they are not noticeable at all. Could it be less noticeable because I have a white car and the primer is white? If it gets worse, I will take it to the dealer.

 

Just an update (& i'll get the pics up later to show the progression) - I now have a case # and awaiting a time to meet with the zone rep about this. The lady on the phone was very nice & helpful.

 

Sweet! I am going to file a case as soon as the damage can not be wiped off with my finger. Does anyone have a white HCHII with this problem? If so, how long did it take to wear down bad enough to report?
