My sister has a 2004 tsx and we notice something really strange it seems like the belt is rubbing against the hood isolation which created a hole. The car has now 6000kms (a lot of highway cruising) has anyone had a similar problem?

 

ok maybe I haven't been clear enough... The hood isolation looks like it has been torn not burned but torn. when we close the hood, the torn spot aligns directly with the belt. Is it possible that something different has caused this???

 

maybe it was hanging low to begin with

You set a date to bring it to the dealership yet?

 

Bring it to the dealer... Just make sure you don't spend a penny on this repair...

Regards

 

well... it as not been repaired yet but we found the source of that hole... it as been created by believe or not a mouse or rat!!! the dealership ordered the part and we gonna make sure that it's covered under the warranty!

 

its one thing if the dealer decides to do it under warranty as a good will gesture...but trying to scam the dealer?

 

Don't worry, it's actually the dealer that found the problem...

 

Get that critter before he really causes damage to your cars - chewing on wiring or hoses. Until he is caught try putting moth balls under your car(s).
