2016 Honda HR-V Lighting Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Honda HR-V. The contact stated that water had accumulated in the tail lights, causing the lights to become inoperable. The contact stated that he had noticed an abnormal water sound while driving the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

My Hatch has been filling up with lots of water not too long after I began leasing it and it sloshes around, it is in my rear lights, has made the inside light of my hatch no longer work. Now, water is leaking in from both rear windows and somewhere in through the fabric of the inside back roof area creating a growing water stain and mold. Spare Tire well in back also fills up with up to 2 inches of water. Mold, Rust, Electrical problems and more are the result. Honda has not yet taken care of it although I have had a diagnostic and see that it has been reported here multiple times.

I have a 2016 HR-V A large amount of water gets trapped inside the rear tail light which can short out the lights if not repaired. I noticed it after hearing water sloshing around every time I opened the rear trunk. This is a manufacturing defect and a definite safety issue for Honda. Problem has been an issue since at least 2017 but nothing has been done. Others have reported this as well. Took it to Honda dealer who claimed no knowledge of any issues like this

MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS COOLER OUTSIDE, MY CAR SCREEN FOR MY MILEAGE, GAS TANK HAND, AND ALL OF THAT ELECTRICAL STUFF WILL COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. WHEN IT SHOWS BACK UP MOST OF THE TIME IT WILL HAVE CRAZY LETTERS AND START FLASHING. THE ICON WITH THE KEY HAS RECENTLY POPPED UP ON MY DASH WHICH STANDS FOR SOMETHING BEING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM.

TAIL LIGHTS FILLING WITH WATER, NO BULBS HAVE EVER BEEN REPLACED. BAD SEAL?
