TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V661000 (AIR BAGS). KENDALL HONDA (846 GOODPASTURE ISLAND RD, EUGENE, OR 97401, (855) 981-5504) REPAIRED THE VEHICLE MONTHS AFTER THE PART WAS RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAD ONCE OWN THIS VEHICLE IN WHICH I WAS MAKING PAYMENTS. I HAD SLID ON ICE AND SNOW ONE YEAR AND WENT INTO A DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO A POST. THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH AS WELL AS A LITTLE DAMAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAG NEVER DID DEPLOY AND I RECENTLY HAD A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE LISTED HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

I CONTACTED THE DEALER HONDA COGIN LOCATED IN ORLANDO - FL TWICE AND I CAN NOT MAKE THE EXCHANGE,

On 1/29/22 in Dayton OH, I was stopped and turning left out onto the road. I accelerated lightly and the left axel broke in the middle of the turn. The car was stopped in the middle of two lanes. I was able to get help and push the car back in the business driveway by keeping it in neutral. The car would make repetitive clicking sounds if I left it in park. I had it towed. Repair shop fixed issue. It was the left front axel shaft that broke. My car has about 130,000 miles on it and is a 2010 Honda Fit. It is available for inspection. I am so thankful that I wasn't on a high speed road as a car could have collided into me when I was turning left because the axle broke before I could get fully into one lane. If I had been moving at higher speeds, I definitely would have gotten in an accident. There were no warning indicators before the incident. I regularly serviced the vehicle.

Driveshaft snapped. Replaced by dealer at considerable expense. Honda opened a case number #11878648, but refuses to pay or return calls.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V770000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED FRIENDLY HONDA (1143 DUTCHESS TURNPIKE, POUGHKEEPSIE, NY 12603) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAD COME TO A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET IN XENIA, OHIO AND WHEN I APPLIED THE GAS TO PULL OUT I HEARD A CLUNK AND THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN NORMALLY. I SURMISED SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE POWER TRAIN. I CALLED AAA AND THEY THOUGHT THE SAME, THE TOW DRIVER HAVING BEEN A MECHANIC FOR MANY YEARS SAID BROKEN DRIVE SHAFTS ON HONDAS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT WAS TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN BEAVERCREEK, OH AND IT WAS FOUND THE LEFT SIDE DRIVE SHAFT HAD BROKEN AND NEEDED REPLACED. ARE BROKEN DRIVE SHAFTS COMMON ON HONDAS? I HAVE ATTACHED THE REPAIR BILL.

FRONT AXLE SNAPPED

Just purchased the car and it suffers from "Memory Steer". After a turn, the steering does not return to neutral, but the steering wheel requires input to straighten out. Alignment, Strut Bearings and Ball Joints checked OK, suggesting the binding is in the steering column, Steering Rack or perhaps the Electric Power Steering. The problem occurs at all speeds.

While driving, the steering wheel intermittently locks up or loses power making control of the vehicle extremely difficult while driving straight and near impossible when it happens while turning.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 3-5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED FIRST TEXAS HONDA LOCATED AT (3400 STECK AVE, AUSTIN, TX 78757 (512) 220-1121) WHERE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,397. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

STEERING WHEEL HAS BEEN SUDDENLY, AND INTERMITTENTLY, TURNING IMMEDIATELY 90 DEGREES WHERE I HAVE TO CORRECT THE WHEEL IN ORDER TO AVOID A CRASH. TYPICALLY HAPPENS ON SLIGHT TURNS, LIKE GETTING ON OR OFF A HWY RAMP OR TURNING ON A RED LIGHT. GOODYEAR TIRE SAID THEY ARE SEEING ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING AND INFORMED ME THIS ISN'T A DRIVABLE CAR UNLESS $2400 REPAIR. THE SUDDENNESS OF THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH, ESPECIALLY AT THE SPEED.

THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY FREEZES UP, FOR ABOUT A SECOND, AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON DURING OR AFTER THESE EVENTS. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS BEEN NOTICED WHILE MAKING TURNS, WHICH IS VERY UNSETTLING. I NO LONGER TRUST THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY, AND NOW FEEL THE NEED TO LEAVE A VERY LARGE DISTANCE WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ANY ONCOMING CAR. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY MORE, FOR FEAR OF HER SAFETY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR AN EPS FAILURE FOR HONDA FITS OF PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE 2010 MODEL YEAR.

HVAC MOTOR/BLOWER ONLY WORKS ON HIGH SPEED. MAKES HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISES AT TIMES, NOT ALWAYS.

BURNT OUT AC SWITCH DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEATING BY THE LIGHT BULB EMBEDDED IN THE SWITCH. THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNT PLASTIC OR ELECTRICAL BURN SMELL.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPED WORKING. AND RADIADOR FANS STAY ONE WHEN I TURN OFF CAR

ENGINE WIRING WAS CHEWED AND HEAVILY DAMAGED BY RODENTS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE ENGINE BAY IS EASILY ACCESABLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THERE IS NO SHEILDING. I ALSO READ THAT ON THIS PATICULAR MODEL THE WIRING INSULATION IS SOY BASED, POSSIBLY ATTRACTING RODENTS TO SAID EAT WIRING.

KEY WILL NOT GO IN ALL THE WAY TO THE IGNITION, SO CANNOT START THE ENGINE. PART: 06351TF0A11 (LOCK CYLINDER) WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED

I was driving slowly down a side street and nosing into a parking spot (not parallel parking) when the car surged forward. I hit the car I was parking in back of and propelled that car into the one in front of it. My car has damage to the hood and front bumper

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA FIT FROM DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING, TEXAS. WE HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING ALSO. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE KEY LOCKS ON THIS CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 37746 MILES. THE KEY WOULD GO ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK AND THEN WOULD JAM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER. (SEE ATTACHMENT ONE TO THIS LETTER FOR THE DEALER INVOICE). AT APPROXIMATELY 54000 MILES THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK. THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SIMILAR TO EARLIER FAILURE. I CALLED MY DAVID MCDAVID ADVISOR TO SEE WHETHER THE LOCK CYLINDER WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. HE TOLD ME THAT SINCE 12 MONTHS AND 12,000 MILES HAD PASSED THAT I HAD NO WARRANTY ON THE PART. I THEN WENT TO CAR TOYS LOCATED IN IRVING TO SEE WHETHER THEY COULD PUT A KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM IN THE HONDA FIT. AFTER THEIR POSITIVE ASSURANCE, I HAD THEIR SYSTEM PUT IN THE CAR. (SEE ATTACHMENT TWO TO THIS LETTER FOR CAR TOYS INVOICE DATED SEPTEMBER 10, 2018). ON JUNE 27, 2019, MY WIFE WENT TO STORE AND WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE KEY WOULD ONLY GO HALF WAY INTO THE IGNITION AND THEN JAM. I WENT TO WHERE THE CAR WAS LOCATED AND TRIED TO GET THE KEY TO WORK. I HAD NO LUCK AND AFTER DISCUSSING WITH ADVISOR AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING, I HIRED A WRECKER TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 59439. (SEE ATTACHMENT THREE TO THIS LETTER FOR THE DEALER INVOICE). I HAVE SPENT $1858.58 ON THIS KEY LOCK ISSUE AS FOLLOWS: DATE COMPANY MILEAGE ON CAR APR 18, 2016 DAVID MCDAVID HONDA 37746 SEP 10, 2018 CAR TOYS APPROX 54000 JUNE 26, 2019 DAVID MCDAVID HONDA 59349

BROKEN AXLE

2010 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR RECALL. *SMD

TAKATA RECALL MY HONDA 2010 FIT IS METALLIC BLUE AND THE PAINT IS FADING. THE ENTIRE ROOF IS WHITE. LARGE WHITE SPOTS ON THE HOOD AND NOW FADING MARKS ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR. IT IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. A 5 YEAR OLD CAR AND IT LOOKS 15 YEARS OLD. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS NOT AGREED AT THIS TIME TO PAY FOR A FULL REPAINT JOB. THEY HAVE AGREED TO PAY 70% OF THE TOTAL BILLFOR THE ROOF AND HOOD OF THE CAR. MY CONCERN IS THAT THEY WILL REPAINT THE ROOF AND HOOD AND NOT THE BACK AND SIDES AND THEN THEY WILL FADE. I ALSO WILL NEED TO RENT A CAR WHILE THEY ARE REPAIRING THE PAINT. THIS WILL BRING MY TOTAL CLOSE TO $500.00. THIS IS NOT MY FAULT AND I BELIEVE A PAINT JOB SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 5 YEARS. WHEN I LOOK AROUND A PARKING LOT AND SEE CARS OLDER THAN MINE WITH A PERFECT PAINT JOB I GET FRUSTRATED. THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

THE PAINT IS WEARING OFF OF THE TOP OF THE CAR CLEARLY THIS IS DEFECTIVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO LOCK MANUALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY. THERE WAS ALSO AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED TROY HONDA (1835 MAPLELAWN DR, TROY, MI 48084, (248) 649-0202) AND WAS PROVIDED A REPAIR QUOTE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

PARKED AT A MALL. DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. AFTER MANY EFFORTS I MANAGED TO GET FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPEN. KEY WOULD NOT UNLOCK DOOR FROM OUTSIDE. FOR 2 DAYS WHILE WAITING FOR APPOINTMENT AT DEALERSHIP HAD TO LEAVE UNLOCKED AND USE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. DEALERSHIP "FOUND DOOR LATCH FAULTY." TOTAL COST OVER $800.00. HAS BEEN REPLACED.

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE QUICKLY DEGRADING PAINT JOB ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, AND I AM PARKED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT WHERE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS CARS ARE NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES. THE ONLY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WITH PAINT DEGRADATION COMPARABLE TO MY CAR IS A BLUE 1999 HONDA CIVIC, BUT IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN MY '10 FIT. JUST TO REITERATE, WE ARE PARKED IN THE SAME PARKING LOT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUN AND ELEMENTAL EXPOSURE. AFTER LOOKING TO SEE IF MY VIN WAS LISTED UNDER CURRENT HONDA CAMPAIGNS, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT LISTED. HOWEVER, A FRIEND POINTED OUT AN ONGOING CAMPAIGN FOR 2006-2013 CIVICS WITH EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTIES. THE CIVICS INCLUDED ARE ALL IN THE DARK BLUE OR BLACK COLOR FAMILY, WHICH IS THE SAME AS MY FIT. I LOOKED UP PHOTOS OF THE PAINT DEGRADATION ON THESE CIVICS, AND NOT ONLY ARE THE PAINT COLORS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT THE DEGRADATION IS IN THE SAME AREAS AS THAT OF MY FIT. THE ROOF AND HOOD ARE THE TWO BIGGEST PROBLEM AREAS, AND THE CAMPAIGN LISTS ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, UPPER PORTION OF THE DOORS, AND UPPER PORTIONS OF THE QUARTER PANELS. THE DEGRADATION DESCRIBED ON THE CIVICS IS A CHALKY OR CLOUDY APPEARANCE, EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY CAR'S CURRENT APPEARANCE. NOW, JUST TO SUM THINGS UP: 1. MY CAR IS IN THE YEAR RANGE OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 2. MY CAR IS THE SAME PAINT COLOR FAMILY AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 3. MY CAR HAS THE SAME AREAS OF DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS, INCLUDING THE HOOD, THE ROOF, AND THE UPPER PORTIONS OF THE DOORS. 4. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF CHALKY, CLOUDY, OXIDIZED DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 5. I AM NOT THE ONLY HONDA FIT OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE. 6. MY CAR STARTED DEGRADING WELL INSIDE THE 7 YEAR EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY PERIOD GIVEN TO OWNERS OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS.

CLEAR COAT AND PAINT ON THE HONDA FIT ARE DEFECTIVE. PEELING BEGAN AFTER ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THERE ARE LARGE PATCHES OF MISSING PAINT ON THE ROOF AND A PATCH ON THE HOOD.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A HEADACHE DUE TO THE HEAD REST WHICH WAS NOT ADJUSTABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED THE HEADACHE WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE HEAD REST AND WHEN THE HEAD REST WAS REMOVED, HE DID NOT EXPERIENCE HEADACHES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200. UPDATED 2/23/11 *CN UPDATED 06/24/11

SEATS IN HONDA FIT 2010 ARE CAUSING SEVERE BACK PROBLEMS TO THE POINT THAT I MAY NEED TO HAVE SURGERY. I AM NOT PRONE TO SEVERE LOWER BACK PROBLEMS BUT SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE I HAVE BEEN TO THE DOCTOR 3 TIMES AND SEEN A PHYSIOTHERAPIST. THE DOCTOR HAS NOW MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME WITH A PHYSATRIST AND IF THIS DOCTOR CANNOT RESOLVE MY PROBLEM, I WILL HAVE TO HAVE BACK SURGERY. *TR

FRONT SEATS MOVING SLIGHTLY WITH HARD CORNERING OR BREAKING. BASED ON COMMENTS OBTAINED ON INTERNET, CHECKED THE FRONT SEAT RAIL BOLTS AND FOUND TWO OF THEM TO BE LOOSE (ONE EACH ON BOTH THE FRONT SEATS). *TR

MY BRAND NEW 2010 HONDA FIT SPORT IS BREAKING MY NECK! THE DESIGN OF THE HEADREST DOES NOT ALLOW ME TO SIT IN A COMFORTABLE POSITION. BECAUSE OF CHRONIC BACK PROBLEMS, I NORMALLY DRIVE WITH THE SEAT BACK IN AN ALMOST VERTICAL POSITION. THE TILT OF THE HEADREST FORCES MY HEAD FORWARD. WITHIN MINUTES, THE PAIN IN MY NECK AND BACK BECOMES UNBEARABLE. *TR

I PURCHASED HONDA FIT AND DROVE IT HOME TO REALIZE THAT I HAVE TO EITHER DRIVE WITHOUT A HEAD RESTRAINT AND COMPROMISE MY SAFETY OR NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES A DAY. THE HEAD REST PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND STRAINS MY NECK TO THE POINT THAT I EITHER HAVE TO SIT UPRIGHT AWAY FROM THE SEAT OR STRETCH MY NECK FAR OUT IN PAIN. EITHER WAY IT IS NOT SAFE, WHETHER IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR GENERALLY FOR MY HEALTH. WITH NO COOL-OFF PERIOD ON NEW CARS IN CALIFORNIA, I CANNOT RETURN THE CAR WHICH AT THIS POINT HAS 12 MILES ON IT, SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE UNSAFELY. I RAN GOOGLE SEARCH FOR HONDA HEAD REST COMPLAINTS AND FOUND OUT THAT CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT HONDA'S NEW HEAD RESTS FOR THE SAME VERY REASON SINCE 2007, FOR MOST OF THEIR MODELS - FROM ACCORD AND ODYSSEY TO FIT. WHAT MAKES THE MATTER WORSE IS THAT YOU CANNOT REVERSE THE HEADREST AS THERE ARE GROOVES ONLY ON ONE OF THE TWO SUPPORT POLES. BY MAKING HEAD RESTRAINT EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE TO USE, HONDA IS FORCING ITS CUSTOMERS TO DRIVE UNSAFELY, SPECIFICALLY WITHOUT HEAD RESTRAINT. I SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER AT MY DEALER AND HE TOLD ME THAT HONDA DOES NOT HAVE ADJUSTABLE OR REVERSIBLE HEAD RESTRAINT. HE IS ALSO AWARE OF THE COMPLAINTS FROM THE CUSTOMERS. SOLUTION SHOULD BE EASY TO IMPLEMENT BY MAKING THE HEAD REST REVERSIBLE FOR THOSE LIKE ME WITH NECK OR BACK PROBLEMS. I DROVE HONDAS FOR 18 YEARS AND CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HONDA HAS NOT RESPONDED TO 3 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS COMPLAINTS BY THE CUSTOMERS. THERE IS NO INJURIES YET, AS THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AS I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T HAVE VIN WITH ME RIGHT NOW, BUT THIS ISSUE IS NOT SPECIFIC TO THE CAR, IT IS WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE MODELS OF HONDA. *TR

I PULLED SLOWLY INTO A COMMERCIAL PARKING SPACE, THE CAR ACCELERATED AFTER I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A CONCRETE COLUMN. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES AND IT STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SIDEWALK JUST IN FRONT OF A STOREFRONT. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS WITH NO DAMAGE..

ON LOCAL STREET MEDIUM TRAFFIC WAS DRIVING REALLY SLOW TO ANTICIPATE THE RED LIGHT, LIGHT WENT GREEN SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY BUT THE HONDA FIT SEEMED TO HAVE GREATER SPEED THAN I EXPECTED AND THE VAN IN FRONT OF ME DID NOT SEEM TO BE MOVING AT ALL BUT HIS THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT AND HE SAID HE WAS NOT BRAKING AT THAT TIME AND I KNEW I WOULD CRASH SO I CHECKED RIGHT SIDE AND MANEUVERED TO CHANGE LANE TO THE RIGHT TO REDUCE POINT OF CONTACT AND CLIPPED THE LEFT REAR OF THE VAN. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS SUDDEN ACCELERATION - I AM NOT FEELING SAFE WITH THE CAR AS FREEWAY TRAFFIC IN LA IS STOP AND GO AND I NORMALLY DRIVE THE CANYON DAILY. I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE CHANGE OIL, BRAKE PADS AND TIRES SERVICED THE DAY BEFORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED BACKWARDS BEFORE CRASHING. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. NEITHER THE DELAER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 2,913.

I HAVE A 2010 HONDA FIT SPORT AUTOMATIC, PURCHASED NEW. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH (I.E., GOING DOWN A SPIRAL RAMP, PARKING MY CAR INSIDE THE GARAGE IN MY HOME AND BEING IN EXTREMELY SLOW STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC) MY RIGHT FOOT IS ON AND OFF THE BRAKE. I DO NOT USE MY LEFT FOOT AT ALL IN DRIVING. FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR (FROM JULY 2010 TO JUNE 2011) DURING SUCH SITUATIONS THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE NEEDLE ON THE RPM DIAL WENT TO 4,000-5,000. I HAD TO STEP HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM LURCHING FORWARD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ON JUNE 5, 2011 IN THE MIDDLE OF EXTREMELY SLOW STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WITNESSED THIS MOST SCARY AND DANGEROUS INCIDENT. I EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO THE MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON 6/21/11. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE A SUDDEN ACCELERATION SITUATION AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. MY ONLINE SEARCHES INDICATE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH PRIOR-YEAR MODELS OF THE HONDA SPORT. I AM CERTAIN THERE IS AN UNDISCOVERED PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, AND POSSIBLY OTHERS, WHICH REQUIRES INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE TOO CLOSE AND SOMETIME HE TOUCHED THE WRONG PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED EITHER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 18.

HONDA FIT WINDSHIELDS DEVELOP CRACKS WITH MINOR OR EVEN NO IMPACT! THERE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF REPORTS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS. THIS IS OUR SECOND CRACKED WINDSHIELD WE FOUND WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR IN THE MORNING. *TR

LONG STRESS FRACTURE IN THE WINDSHIELD, STARTING FROM EDGE ON PASSENGER'S SIDE AND EXTENDING FOR ABOUT 2 FEET TOWARDS THE CENTER. FRACTURE APPEARED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THERE WAS NO CHIP, HENCE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A STONE. THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT SHATTER, THOUGH IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND THAT MANY OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE FRACTURE APPEARING WITH NO OBVIOUS CAUSE, AND IN SOME CASES ON CARS THAT HAD ONLY RECENTLY BEEN PURCHASED. THE DEALER REPLACED FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY, THOUGH OTHERS ONLINE REPORTED THAT DEALERS TRIED TO ARGUE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A STONE. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, AND I'M CONCERNED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THAT THERE IS A RISK THAT THE SCREEN COULD SHATTER OR SEPARATE AT THE CRACK WHILE SHE IS DRIVING, HENCE CAUSING A MAJOR DRIVING HAZARD AND POSSIBLE CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE CLOSING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED SUSTAINED CUTS TO HER FINGERS AND BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKED CAR LISTENING TO THE RADIO BEFORE WORK WHEN I SAW A FOOT LONG CRACK FORM HALF WAY UP THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD HORIZONTALLY TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO PEOPLE OR CARS AROUND AND IT WAS A CLEAN STRAIGHT LINE CRACK. I FOUND AN ONLINE FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM WHERE THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE HAVING STRESS CRACK ISSUES WITH THEIR FIT WINDSHIELDS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CHIP IN THE CRACK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PINHEAD, 2 INCHES IN FROM THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THEY CLAIMED A STONE HIT THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CHIP AND SUGGESTED CONTRACTION EXPANSION OF THE GLASS CAUSED THE CRACK. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGES UNDER WARRANTY. A PHONE CALL TO HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMED NO REPORTS OF ISSUES WITH FIT WINDSHIELDS AND ALSO REFUSED WARRANTY COVERAGE EVEN AFTER MENTIONING THE ONLINE FORUM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND A CRESCENT-SHAPED CRACK APPEARED ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE DRIVER'S HEAT VENT, RUNS UP APPROX 6 INCHES AND GOES OVER ABOUT 18 INCHES TO THE OTHER HEAT VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 20 DEGREES, HEATER WAS ON. A QUICK SEARCH OF WEB LOGS INDICATES NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (SEE EDMONDS.COM). *TR

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Honda Fit Sport automatic with 134,000 miles going around 60 mph lost power and started making sputtering noise. Fortunately, there was still some power left, and I was able to navigate to the shoulder of the highway. I turned off the car and turned It back on again and the Check Engine Light came on. I plugged in my BlueDriver diagnostic tool and it says Cylinder 2 Misfire. When I placed it in Drive, the car was making sputtering noise from the Engine Bay Area and would not accelerate, leaving me stranded on the side of the highway. I was lucky enough to maneuver the limping car in the middle of rush hours to the side of the highway. It's a miracle I didn't get into an accident, as the car lost power and was not accelerating properly. The mechanic did a diagnostic and said that Cylinder 2 spark plug blew, commonly due to the plugs coming loose, damaging the spark plug and ignition coil on cylinder 2. I searched the internet and found that other 2nd generation Honda Fit ('09-'13) owners also had spark plugs that came from the factory/ tightened to factory specification to only come loose again. I could have died or have gotten into a serious accident. Because of this horror story and being stuck on the highway for 4 hours, I will unfortunately never buy a Honda again, a brand that was supposed to be reliable.

A SPARK PLUG CAME OUT OF CYLINDER HEAD WHILE DRIVING. THIS DAMAGED THE CYLINDER HEAD AND IGNITION SYSTEM. FUEL ECONOMY SUFFERED. IT ALLOWED EXHAUSET FUMES TO BE DRAWN INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT CAUSING NAUSEA AND DIZZINESS.

THIS IS A REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM!! IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IF THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 55 DEGREES. IF THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN HEATED FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING OUT TO THE ROAD, THE ENGINE WOULD BE DEAD EITHER AT AN UPHILL STOP SIGN OR DURING DRIVING WHILE THE BRAKE NEEDS TO BE USED. THE BATTERY SIGN LIGHTS FIRST AND FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SWITCH OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A POLE AND PROCEEDED TO CRASH INTO A TREE LOCATED BEHIND THE POLE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER AND EXPLODED INTO FLAMES. THE ENGINE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORTED TO THE SCENE AND FILED A REPORT. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED BURNS TO SIXTY PERCENT OF HIS BODY AND A FRACTURED RIGHT ARM. THE DRIVER WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY AMBULANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP FOR INSPECTION BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 23,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY(SLOW LANE) IN SANTACLARA, CALIFORNIA AT ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR. I SAW A CAR INFRONT OF ME STOPPED 100% NEAR AN EXIT. I APPLIED BRAKE REALLY HARD, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS MORE THE 4/5 CAR DISTANCE MY CAR DIDN'T STOP AND HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME. MY AIRBAG OPENED AND I RECEIVED SOME BURNS. I AM 100% SURE I HIT THE BRAKE REALLY HARD BUT MY CAR TOOK WAY TOO LONG TIME STOP ONLY AFTER HITTING A VEHICLE. HOPE THIS CAR IS RECALLED AND DOES NOT CAUSE INCONVENIENCE TO OTHERS. *TR

I BOUGHT A NEW HONDA FIT IN AUG 2010. LAST WINTER I HAD SEVERAL FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS WITH BRAKES WHEN THERE WAS SNOW ON THE GROUND. APPROACHING OTHER VEHICLES AT A STOP, THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK/NOT GRIP EVEN AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, MAYBE I NEEDED NEW TIRES (ON A BRAND NEW CAR!) I SPENT THE WINTER DRIVING IN TERROR OF SOMEONE PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I JUST TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY FOR A 1 YEAR INSPECTION - AT 11,000 MILES THE BRAKES NEED REPLACEMENT (DEALER SAID I SHOULD DO IT AT MY NEXT OIL CHANGE FOR $290 AND "MAYBE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT DISENGAGING WHEN I START OFF IN THE MORNING" - I DRIVE A STANDARD) I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS AND DRIVING A STANDARD FOR 21 YEARS. THE PROBLEM IS THE BRAKES, NOT MY DRIVING. *TR

I WAS SIDESWIPED ON A WET ROAD AND WENT INTO A SPIN. THE BRAKES PARTIALLY ENGAGED, THROUGH THE ABS SYSTEM DID NOT (NO "CHATTER"). AFTER I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER, THE BRAKES REMAINED PARTIALLY ENGAGED (THE CAR WAS GRADUALLY DECELERATING) - THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE AND I COULD NEITHER DISENGAGE THE BRAKES, NOR INCREASE THE APPLICATION TO MAKE THE CAR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER EXPERIMENTING WITH PRESSING HARD ON THE PEDAL AND THEN PUMPING IT A FEW TIMES WHILE TRAVELING OVER A QUARTER MILE, I ULTIMATELY HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO CODES AND THE TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

AS I WAS MAKING MY RIGHT TURN NEAR MY HOME, I UNEXPECTEDLY SAW MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD IN FRONT OF HIS DRIVE WAY. I QUICKLY STEPPED ON MY BRAKES TO STOP, BUT, MY CAR DIDN'T STOP IMMEDIATELY AND SEEMED TO SURGE RATHER THAN SLOW DOWN (POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE FIT ABS). I THEN TURNED MY STEERING WHEEL TO THE SIDE WALK TO AVOID HITTING MY NEIGHBOR'S CAR WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKES BUT THE CAR STILL DID NOT STOP. THE CAR WENT THROUGH THE SIDE WALK AND A NEXT NEIGHBOR'S BUSH AND FRONT LAWN (ABOUT 20 METERS). EVENTUALLY, I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD AND STOPPED JUST SHORT OF THE DRIVE WAY ON THE TOP OF A SMALL BUSH I REPORTED TO HONDA AMERICA WHICH SENT AN INSPECTOR TO CHECK MY CAR. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT, THE INSPECTOR AND THE HONDA AMERICA CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER THOUGHT MY GOODYEAR RUBBER FLOOR MAT MIGHT BE THE CAUSE. I TOLD THEM DURING THE 20 METERS DISTANCE, I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO NOTICE THAT I WAS STEPPING ON THE BRAKES MUCH HARDER THAN NORMALLY I WOULD FOR THE CAR TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR, THE FIRST THING I CHECKED WAS THE CAR FLOOR NEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL. IF THE MAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM, I WOULD HAVE NOTICED AT THAT TIME. ANOTHER HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT IMPLIED THAT I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I TOLD HIM THAT I COULD NOT HAVE STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR SINCE I DID NOT CHANGE THE PEDAL I WAS STEPPING ON DURING THE TIME IT TOOK TO STOP THE CAR. THE END RESULT, I HAD TO PAID FOR THE CAR DAMAGE. *TR

LOSS OF POWER STEERING POWER ELECTRICAL SURGES WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY AND SECONDARY ROADS. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY RAMPS ONTO FREEWAY, ALSO EXITING FREEWAY ON EXIT RAMPS.GOGGLED HONDA FIT POWER STEERING PROBLEMS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAME PROBLEMS VERY.DANGEROUS FOR MY 20 YR DAUGHTER FIRST VEHICLE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

WHILE STEERING ON THE ROAD (IN MOTION), OUR 2010 HONDA FIT SUDDENLY JERKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE TURN, LEADING TO A NUMBER OF NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED IN FALL OF 2018. DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK AND BOX ARE "BAD" AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2400. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT OR CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS (LIKE TIE ROD ENDS) -- IT'S JUST THE STEERING THAT IS SUDDENLY UNRELIABLE.

VEHICLE SUDDENLY SPUN TO THE RIGHT 180 DEGREES AND SLIDE SIDEWAYS AND OVER AN EMBANKMENT AND ONTO ITS SIDE. VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY 31 NORTH IN WHITEHALL MICHIGAN. VEHICLE WAS UNDER LIGHT POWER (PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL) ON A SNOWY/ICY ROAD. TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOW 20 DEGREES. CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. VIDEO CAMERA IN THE CAR RECORDED A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL FAILURE, WHICH MAY HAVE EFFECTED VEHICLE'S ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POSITIVE CONTROL. VEHICLE HAS A HISTORY OF HEADLIGHTS BURNING OUT AND BEING REPLACED ON A YEARLY BASES, BOTH MAIN HEADLIGHTS AND FOG LIGHTS. CAR ALSO HAS A HISTORY OF ELECTRICAL FLICKERING. DRIVER IS 6O YEAR OLD MALE WITH 44 YEARS OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE IN WINTER CONDITIONS WITH NO ACCIDENTS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 15332 MILES ON JUNE 13 2013 THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON, ADVISING THAT A TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR HAD FAILED. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BY JIM WHITE HONDA IN MAUMEE OHIO.. LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LATER AT APPROXIMATELY 16846 MILES ON JULY 13 2013 THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT WAS REPLACED AND WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BY HOLMAN HONDA OF FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA. THESE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW. HAVING TWO DIFFERENT TIRES FAIL WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON A CAR THAT IS RARELY AND CAREFULLY DRIVEN IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF SOME SORT OF DEFECT. CALLS TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE POINTLESS AND THE FIRST FAILURE COST $215.93. I WAS NEVER GIVEN THE PARTS OR TOLD ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT THE PARTS "FAILED". AS PART OF THE TREAD ACT, BECAUSE THEY ARE SAFETY EQUIPMENT I BELIEVE THAT DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF PURCHASE, AND I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED AND A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT EQUIPPED WITH DUNLOP SP31 TIRES, SIZE P175/65R15. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE A "TIRE PRESSURE" LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THE LOW PRESSURE WAS DUE TO CLIMATIC CHANGES. THE TIRES WERE THEN FILLED WITH AIR TO THE PROPER TIRE PRESSURE. THE FAILURE HAS SINCE RECURRED TWICE, EVERY 4,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12,500. UPDATED 01/25/11*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED HE PURCHASED 4 NEW TIRES. UPDATED 02/14/11

I'VE RECENTLY PURCHASED A HONDA FIT SPORT 2010, ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE MILEAGE IS AT 7,000 MILES. LAST NIGHT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY ONTO ROAD WHEN A LOUD POPPING SNAP WAS HEARD AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. *TR

DRIVER STOPPED CAR AT A RED LIGHT ON A MAIN STREET. WHEN LIGHT TURBED GREEN, DRIVER PRESSED THE ACCELLERATOR AND THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELLERATE. CAR WAS TOWED BY POLICE, THEN TOWED TO A GARAGE FOR REPAIR. MECHANICS DETERMINED THE AXEL SHAFT HAD SNAPPED AS A RESULT OF PROLIBGED EXPOSURE TO MOISTURE, AND MICROFRACTURES. THE PART WAS REPLACED.

IGNITION AND KEY HAS PROBLEMS WITH KEY STICKING AND LOCK AND UNLOCKING DOORS WITH KEY NOT INSERTING AND NOT UNLOCKING DOORS, POOR DESIGN AND HONDA KNOWS IT JUT JUST IGNORES THE PROBLEMS

PAINT IS CHALKING AND CRACKING OFF MY HOOD AND ROOF. STARTED NOTICING IN MARCH 2017. ASKED HONDA SERVICE CENTER ABOUT IT AND AFTER SENDING ME TO A PAINT SPECIALIST TO GET IT LOOKED AT/PAINT JOB ESTIMATE AND BEING TOLD IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE THE PAINT ISSUES HONDA CIVICS ARE EXPERIENCING, HONDA SERVICE CENTER MANAGER TOLD ME IT WAS 'NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR' AND THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME.

I STOPPED FAIRLY HEAVILY, AND WHILE THE CAR STOPPED WELL AS EXPECTED, THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUED TO DROP ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 MILES. REAR BRAKES ARE OEM..

I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON ROUTE 322 NEAR DAUPHIN, PA AT ABOUT 55 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. A CAR TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE CUT IN FRONT OF ME. TO AVOID HITTING HIM, I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD. MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT OUT OF CONTROL, FISHTAILING IN THE LANE AND THEN SUDDENLY WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR SWUNG AROUND HITTING A BRIDGE ABUTMENT, BOUNCED OFF, AND WENT BACK INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR OUT AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP IT. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE, BUT DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THIS INCIDENT REMINDED ME OF AN ACCIDENT I HAD YEARS AGO WITH THE CHEVY CITATION AND THE BRAKES LOCKED ON ME. IS THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THE FIT? I KNOW IT HAS ABS, BUT THINGS CAN AND DO GO WRONG. I ASKED THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. BUT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE VISIBLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY HONDA FIT NORTH ON HWY 35 IN ALVIN, TEXAS. WHEN I REAR ENDED A GMC CANYON PICKUP TRUCK. MY CAR MADE A POPPING SOUND FILLED INSIDE OF CAR WITH SMOKE, MY AIRBAGS HAD TRIED TO DEPLOY BUT DID SO INTERNALLY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS DIDN'T CATCH THEY CAME ALL THE WAY OUT. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT, I STEERED MY VEHICLE TO THE LEFTSIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT WAS RAINING AND THE ROAD WAS SLICK CAUSING MY CAR TO GO INTO A TAIL SPIN. I GAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR WITHOUT MAKING IMPACT TO ANYTHING AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ALTHOUGH MY AIRBAGS BURST OUT THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO INFLATE COMPLETELY. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT COMPLETELY CAME OUT OF ITS TRACK. I SUFFERED A SCRATCH/BURN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK AND A BRUISE BELOW MY RIGHT SHOULDER FROM THE SEATBELT. AMBULANCE AND POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT, THE POLICE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD NEVER WITNESSED A SIMILAR SITUATION OF HOW AND WHY MY AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT WERE IN THAT CONDITION WITHOUT SKID MARKS OR IMPACT. *TR

HVAC BLOWER MOTOR WORKS ONLY ON HIGH SPEED (4). SPEEDS 1-3 DON'T WORK ON THE FAN FOR AC, HEAT, OR ANY OF THE VARIOUS HVAC SETTINGS. *TR

THE A/C SWITCH ON THE DASH IS DEFECTIVE. I TURN IT ON, THE A/C CLUTCH ENGAGES BUT, THEN I CAN'T TURN IT OFF... CAUSING THE A/C TO RUN CONSTANTLY, EVEN IN THE WINTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT SHOULDER STRAPS WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY ACROSS THE CHEST AREA AND IT ALSO BEGAN TO RUB AGAINST THE NECK WHICH CAUSED CHAFING. THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

SEAT BELT ON PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IN MY 2010 HONDA FIT SPORT RATCHETS AND WILL NOT RELEASE DESPITE MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. ALL THE DEALER DID WAS SAY MAYBE PASSENGER IS TOO FAT FOR THE CAR. WE ALSO OWN A 2007 HONDA FIT SPORT AND HAVE NOT HAD THAT ISSUE WITH THAT CAR. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY A SHORTER SEATBELT BEING USED IN THE 2010 AS OPPOSED TO THE 2007. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 11V101000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING).

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 HONDA FIT SPORT AUTOMATIC AT 25MPH ON A CITY STREET, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, ALL DASHBOARD INDICATOR LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY DARK; I PULLED THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NOTICING THAT POWER STEERING AND BRAKE ASSIST WERE INACTIVE SO IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO GET THE CAR PULLED OVER. THE VEHICLE RE-STARTED ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME WITH NO REPAIR WORK DONE. 9 DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, DASHBOARD WENT DARK, AND MY IPOD WAS FROZEN, WHICH WAS CONNECTED THROUGH THE USB PORT(IT WAS NOT CONNECTED DURING THE FIRST STALL). THE ENGINE DID NOT START ON THE FIRST OR SECOND ATTEMPT, BUT ON THE THIRD. ONCE THE VEHICLE STARTED, I TRIED TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE, BUT THE SHIFTER WAS STUCK AND WOULD NOT SHIFT. I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS, AND SPENT ABOUT 60 SECONDS TRYING TO SHIFT FROM PARK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT ACTUALLY BECAME UNSTUCK AND ALLOWED ME TO SHIFT. AT THAT POINT I THEN DROVE AWAY, I HAD BEEN BLOCKING TRAFFIC AT A BUSY INTERSECTION, AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE IPOD WAS FROZEN AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO MY RESTART ATTEMPTS. I EVENTUALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO RESET THE IPOD AND IT WORKS FINE NOW. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM (AGAIN), AND KEPT IT AT THEIR SHOP FOR 9 DAYS STRAIGHT. THEY EVENTUALLY TOLD ME I JUST HAD TO TAKE IT BACK, SO I DID. NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER WERE DISPLAYED ON BOTH THE INCIDENTS. *TR

On [XXX], I Down payment for the purchase of a 2010 Honda Fit, for $6,258.00 with 24 Ford of Easton, 703 Washington St., South Easton, MA 02375. License Motor Dealer , On [XXX], the TMPS dashboard light was on...Ford replaced them, but as presently ([XXX]) light is still on, they told me TMPS would go off after I drove car around. April 19, 2025, Last TMPS sensor was put on a 4th tire, I was in the car repair area and noticed a broken Sway Bar Link and a Bubble & Cracks on tire, Ford noticed it but did not offer to fix it and let me drive off dealership lot with broken Sway Bar and bad tire. It was negligent, and UNSAFE TO DRIVE. 30 day Lemon Law Ended on [XXX]. Also, there was a RECALL FOR A DRIVESHAFT, WHICH I FOUND OUT VIA THE INTERNET. On May 13, 2025 I went to a Honda Dealership and they replaced the DRIVESHAFT. I went to AXP Repair Shop to get SWAY BAR LINK fixed, and a new tire, which cost me $250.00. 24 Ford did not inspect my car until March 14, 2025 after they replaced the last Tire Sensor. Since the TMPS light was on they didn't even put a REJECT INSPECTION on my car window and let me drive it without any Sticker. They put my life and others at risk of a fatal accident, negligent in letting me drive off their FORD DEALERSHIP LOT WITH A BROKEN SWAY BAR LINK AND BUBBLE/CRACKS ON TIRE. Everything is very RUSTY under the car carriage. I do not feel safe driving car. I call it a deathtrap. Also per Carfax it was parked someplace for a year 01/01/2024 - 01/01/2025. 24 FORD OUT IT UP FOR SALE 01/2025. THEY DIDN'T DO ANY ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, DIRTY AIR FILTERS. AXP and Honda told me I need $2,000.00 - $4,000.00 worth of repairs to make car safe. FORD BROUGHT IT AT AN AUCTION. I was really scammed by the DECEPTIVE PRACTICES and LIES. I need to get this information out to the Public and I am trying to get my money back and return the Savage car back to Jon yes Easton Motor Cars, 703 Washington St. South Easton, MA. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Purchased car on March 4, 2025. Noticed TMPS dashboard light was on, returned 3/5/2025, Ford replaced tire senor, light was still on, they replaced 4 tire senors. But did not replace all untill 4/19/2024, that is when I noticed a bubble and crack on tire and a BROKEN SWAY BAR LINK. ALSO THEY DID NOT INSPECT MY CAR WITHIN 7 DAYS, THEY INSPECTED IT ON 3/14/2025. NO REJECTION STICKER PUT ON, SO I was DRIVING THE CAR HONDA WITHOUT ANY STICKER UNTIL THEY REPLACED ANOTHER SENOR. TOLD ME THE TMPS light would go off after I drove the car around. 24 Ford of South Easton of Easton, MA sold me a 2010 Honda Fit that has a DriveShaft recall for corrosion. Also, faulty tire senors, replaced but Dashboard TMPS light is still on, lied about giving me a new tire, tire has bubbles on it and they put tire on rim facing in toward car wheel hub so it won't be visible, I noticed this and a broken Sway Bar Link. Ford let me drive an unsafe car off the lot. They didn't Offer to fix it, I went to AXP Auto , paid $183.00 to fix the Sway Bar Link, then to a tire Shop to get a new tire . I went to Honda Dealership and they replaced the DRIVESHAFT AND GAVE ME A $2000.00 ESTIMATE OF SAFETY REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED. Six weeks after I brought car, Transmission Engine light is constantly on...many other thing wrong. Axle Shaft R&R, front pads and rotor, 4 tires, Dirty Air Filter, old oil filter black oil. Now Transmission Pressure Senor needs replacement. List is long. AXP Auto also gave me a $2,000.00 quote on repairs, transmission fluid pressure switch gasket, etc. steering TIE RODS, REPLACE BRAKES. THIS HONDA FIT IS A DEATHTRAP AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. 24 FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACED DRIVESHAFT BEFORE I PURCHASED CAR. THEY SWINDLED ME on THE SALES CONTACT AS I DIDN'T KNOW THEY CHARGED ME $6200.00 IN WARRANTY, I WAS ABLE TO CANCEL ONE WARRANTY TOTAL OF $2000.00, AS T DIDN'T COVER BRAKES AND OTHER REPAIRS, SUCH AS POWERTRAIN. OFFERED NO GAP TO ME. 24 FORD is BAD.

I called the Honda dealership in Concord California on 12/2/2024 for the 20V-770 recall as well as the airbag shrapnel issue. They checked with the service manager and refused to inspect the drive train unless there “Was a problem with the car”. They refused to repair the air bags unless “something happens, hopefully nothing happens then we can look at it.” They offered to have the airbags repaired at our expense. What is the point of having a recall if the dealers refuse to even look at the car until it crashes or hits you with shrapnel?

MY DAUGHTER HAD AN ACCIDENT, THIS IS HER ACCOUNT: I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 HONDA FIT ON HIGHWAY 880 NORTHBOUND IN THE VICINITY OF ALAMEDA ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 16TH 2015. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS IN THE LEFT MOST LANE GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING MY CAR BEGAN TO SWERVE VIOLENTLY TO THE RIGHT INTO THE LANE TO MY RIGHT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT ONE OF THE TIRES HAD BLOWN OUT, SO I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND DID NOT TOUCH THE BRAKES, THINKING JUST THAT I SHOULD TRY TO KEEP THE CAR AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES AND AS GENTLY AS I COULD BRING IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FIRST SWERVE, THE CAR DID NOT REACT IN THE SLIGHTEST TO MY STEERING ATTEMPTS TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT OR AWAY FROM TRAFFIC, AND IT SWERVED LEFT AND RIGHT A COUPLE MORE TIMES BEFORE HITTING THE CONCRETE MEDIAN ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THE FRONT OF THE CAR CRUNCHED INTO THE MEDIAN, AND THE WHOLE CAR FLIPPED ON ITS PASSENGER SIDE AND SCRAPED AGAINST THE MEDIAN BEFORE FINALLY COMING TO A HALT UPSIDE DOWN. ONCE THE CAR STOPPED I SAW THAT MIRACULOUSLY NOTHING INSIDE OF THE CAR WAS IMPEDING MY EXIT, AND THE GLASS ON BOTH THE WINDOWS HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED, SO I UNDID MY SEATBELT AND CRAWLED OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW AND IMMEDIATELY STOOD UP. THANKFULLY NO OTHER CARS OR PASSENGERS WERE INVOLVED, 911 WAS CALLED, AND THE POLICEMAN WHO CAME SAID THE INCIDENT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS DUE TO TIRE DAMAGE FROM MY DESCRIPTION BUT THEN EXAMINED THE WHEELS OF THE CAR AND REPORTED THAT HE DIDN?T SEE ANYTHING AWRY WITH THEM, LEAVING THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT A MYSTERY. I HEARD NO SOUNDS PRECEDING THE SWERVING, SMELLED NO STRANGE SMELLS, NOTICED NOTHING STRANGE ABOUT THE CAR?S STEERING, AND HAVE HAD NO INDICATION WHATSOEVER OF ANYTHING BEING ?OFF? WITH THE CAR BEFORE THE INCIDENT. *TR
