[CU2] Parking sensors after rain

**butters88** · 10-01-2014 01:09 PM

My accord Euro parking sensors go off if it has been raining and I stop at a set of traffic lights or similar. Is this normal?

The dealership is trying to tell me that this is the reason there is a switch to turn them off?

Surely they would be designed to take into account rain?

Mine doesn't do this - the occasional random single beep (one beep in 6 months+ of rain) but other than that it's all good.

It only happens after the car has been sitting out in the rain and then I drive it. If it has been in the garage and then I drive out into the rain there is no issue.

Maybe the sensors have rain over them?

Tested it in an underground car park after it had been sitting in the rain. Dried the whole front bumper and it still went off.

What year is it?
Recommend taking it to your Honda Dealer

Try a different dealer? Some are just better than others.

Could still be under warranty?

Bought second hand. It is still under stat warranty.

If the sensors were standard (ie. not aftermarket), then it will be covered under statutory warranty. Your best bet is probably to go back to where you bought it from and explain to them, nicely, what is wrong.
