Default Stuff popping off?

I can't figure it out. . . things just seem to be popping off of my car lately. First it was one of the bolts that holds the tonneau cover down. Now my auxiliary power outlet has completely popped out. I went to unplug my V1, and the whole outlet just fell out of the plastic. WTF? I have about 7200 daily driven miles on the car, and I definitely don't beat on it.

I guess I'll just bring it in for the 7500 mile service and have the Honda techs fix this stuff. Still, I had my Integra for 65,000 miles and not one thing fell off, broke, or even squeaked!

Anyone else experience problems like this?

Same exact problem here with the Aux. Power Outlet. The damn thing just popped out one day (mine was always able to spin freely even when it was "in"...is this normal?). In any event, I'm gonna have them fix it at the dealer.

I was kidding about the wheel. I sure hope your steering wheel didn't come off?



Or maybe I missed the joke...

All things considered, there could be a lot more things going wrong with the car, but there aren't. I was just a little bit embarrassed after picking up a date, talking about the car, then having the aux. power outlet pop out while she was plugging in her cell phone charger. All this after I questioned her reasons for buying a Caddy CTS. . . damn.
