Like EVs, fuel cells are relatively silent in operation and occupants are more likely to
notice other
squeaks and hums, so Honda deployed a host of insulation and
noise - absorption materials including a multi-layered floor carpet and resonators around the wheel rims.
Within a few days, the car started this horrible
squeaking noise, the A / C broke, the motor in one of the back windows broke and won't open, I
noticed that the hatchback area has almost no space whatsoever for groceries, strollers, or anything else wider than a briefcase, the serpentine belt needed replacing, and several other minor yet annoying setbacks.
