We are new to this group. Purchased a 2003 silver 5sp 4 days ago. We are in the midst of a significant storm here in Colorado. Was just driving vehicle to test it in snow and both shields on the undercarriage hit snow or water or ice (its not that deep, maybe 3-4 inches on road, but is wet and heavy) and peeled back, ripping out from the bolts and the plastic grommets nearly to the back of the car. It also cracked the cover in a few places, perhaps when I was backing up?
Has anyone had a similar problem? How was it fixed? Did Honda cover under warranty? What were the costs, if not under warrantly? Most importantly, how about a permanent solution to this issue - it would seem to be a serious design flaw!?
We like the car a lot, but if it can not be driven in snow, then it should be clearly adervtised as such. Moreover, we would not have purchased the car if we had know of its limits in this regard!
Any help would be much appreciated.
