The car wash avoidance rings a bell too. The Insight had the same issue. The panels covering the rear wheels would get yanked off by the tire cleaning brushes that some car washes use. I had to get it hand washed when I went to the car wash. I also had to manually remove/replace the panels when they washed it. This didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but became a nuisance after several years. I'll have to go back and re-read that verbiage again. Not sure if thats just one of those kinds of CYA disclaimers or whether owners really do need to not use the automatic car wash.

I had the side mirror of a Ford Taurus get ripped right off the car by the brushes in a car wash. Anyone who warranties damage from that would be locked in an insane asylum. Every car wash I go to with brushes has a disclaimer prominently displayed saying they aren't responsible for damage to the vehicle. The idea that the car manufacturer should be instead is beyond ludicrous.
