At least it isn't like the BMW Z3's that rip the bottom of their trunks out and shit their rear end onto the road. They also refuse to do nothing about it and have known about it for years. Like was said, every car has it's issues.

Lawsuits (or possible lawsuits) have not reached critical mass

Rewire done, testdrive complete. Sealed it all up, tied up everything nice and high so this won't happen again.

80k on my insight (now at 170k) and no issues yet :)

That is one of the things I didn't like much about my past DSMs, they kept nickel and diming me. There was always something that came up to destroy a weekend of fun and put me back in the garage for the weekend fixing the problems.

Yeah that wiring harness thing is lame. If I bought an evo that would be one of the first things I would do would be to seal up that area.

Hey Chris, if you take a look in your pic here you see those blue butt connectors? replace all of the red butt conectors you have with those type of butt connectors.

With those blue butt connectors, you are supposed to take a lighter or apply heat somehow the ends of the butt connector, it will shrink against the wire insulation and keep water/moisture out.

Well for future situations. I see many trucks come in with the red butt connectors, and they get corroded from moisture.

I see these alot too, there worthless
