Honda's new HELMS system that sucks up every lead off of your website and then delivers it to your CRM - its having some major issues this past week.
Leads duplicated 10+ times in 24 hours
Leads being delayed by 3+ days
who knows what else.

Just a friendly heads up. if you have a Honda store on their HDS program you may want to check on this. Just another lovely example of what happens when the OEM decides they want to run your website.
