Intake replaced under warranty

Just had left fabric/metal ring Intake replaced under warranty... Took 30 seconds to replace in service bay

Service advisor wonders if a rat or bug got in and chewed little holes in it... There were about five that I noticed when I spread the slinky coil in the intake tube

Just an FYI

Good call

I recall seeing an owner post pics of his used 2012 intake and it was all shredded

Wow man you've been having some issues lately with your E huh? Suspension malfunction, throttle issues and now this? Good thing for warranty right. My guess is your won't keep past warranty expiration

i expect it for these overengineered heaps! I knew I wasn't buying a Honda; never leaves me stranded on the road but all issues require many trips to dealer

you are correct sir --- this thing is GONE before or day before warranty ends lol

lucky for the extended warrenty
, these parts arent expensive about 60 each, but its just dumb, and i bet have holes in my intakes may be the reason it felt laggy, and freaking dealership didnt even pick it up...i usually goto Flethcer jones in NB but im sure they are all the same about getting volume in the door and doing quick work...

the strut bearing issue is still there, i guess ill go back in again and somehow no one will hear it and the same ol ****

when I took mine to the dealer in 2015 for this intake issue they surmised a mouse must have chewed through the intake fabric and then allowed it to re-accordian back so it remained undetectable until I actually took some time to closely observe them

must be lots of these hungry mice out there!
