was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? -YES. [XXX] Burbank, CA, intersection [XXX] and [XXX] [XXX] ) There was a huge rainfall this evening. I was heading east on [XXX] and was about to make a "U" going back opposite direction. Making sure there is no on going or opposite traffic, safely i made a "U" turn on a parking lot, the first parking spot..and some of a sudden i realised that my car was touched some obstacle. It was a street light pole but from that pole there was a supporting 45 degrees angle metal wire going across a parking spot! I was not able to see a metal wire because of a light reflection and working windshield wipers.! This metal wire went through my front of a car and cracked the front bumper, left fender i was not able to open my driver door. My speed by doing "U" turn was about 5 miles per hour.. I called to my insurance took a picture of an incident location they came up to me with an estimate $1.553.00... This is insane and might be definitely dangerous for motorcycles and scooters. I have all the pictures, and video as well. Thank you! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The paint on my 2018 Honda Hr-V is chipping on almost every surface of the vehicle. It started on the roof, which has turned into about a 2ft in length surface, and it is now peeling on all 4 doors.

I filled out this form and tried to submit, but saw an error according to your system. I have a paint problem with my 2018 Honda hrv. I see online that there are paint problems with the 2018 hrv, fit, & Accord. The recall that I saw was for a different color than my vehicle. What I also saw was that the manufacturer put too thin of a clear coat on the vehicles. The dealership is claiming that my problem is not covered because it is an environmental issue...tree sap or bird droppings, which is the out that has been given to them. Guessing that the manufacturer has told them to use this to disallow claims. This is clearly a manufacturing defect. I have never had a vehicle that has done this because of bird droppings or tree sap. I have only had one vehicle that a maker volunteered to fix... that was a Toyota vehicle. Al, of the rest of the manufacturers want to make you take them to court to get resolve. I am giving an estimate of the time/mileage of the notice of the problem.
