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.

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..

THIS STARTED WITH A LITTLE STIFFNESS IN STEERING. IT IS VERY HARD TO CONTROL NOW WHEN MAKING A TURN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE THE CAR. LOCAL DEALER SAYS HE CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HONDA NEEDS TO ALERT AND RECALL.

THE BACK WINDOW ON 2010 FIT SPORT HATCHBACK DID NOT HAVE ANY PREVIOUS DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WHEN I GOT IN AND SHUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED BEFORE I HAD EVEN STARTED THE IGNITION.. THE CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE OR CRACKS/CHIPS OF ANY KIND. THE ENITRE BACK WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED.

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.

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONT END COLLISION (CAR REAR-ENDED ANOTHER). HAD BEEN TRAVELLING ~40 MPH; BRAKED OVER A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 CAR LENGTHS WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN HILL. DRIVER SUSTAINED CONCUSSION.

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

HVAC (HEATER/AC FAN) DOES NOT WORK FOR SPEED #1-3, ONLY WORKS FOR HIGH SPEED #4. MANY OWNERS OF HONDA FIT 2009 AND LATER HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. WHY HAVEN'T THERE A RECALL?

I WANT TO KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR NEED REPLACING.

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

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

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.

THE CAR WAS BEING PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET, AT ABOUT 5 MPH, WHEN BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, AND SHOWS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED, IN WHICH THE OFFICER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS TO HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL!!!!! FIRST IT WAS DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AFTER SEPARATELY PAYING $700 TO GET MPG BACK TO SPEC. AIRBAG: ENTERED DEALER GETTING 33 MPG, LEFT GETTING 28MPG. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN A REPAIR SHOP DID MY EMISSIONS TEST. A FRIEND GOT MPG AGAIN BACK TO SPEC 33 CHARGED $125 (NOT $700). NOW HONDA WANTS TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG!!! WANTED $1000 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WITH A NEW DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. GOOGLE SEARCH THE GUY WHO GOT FOUR OF THEM!!! SAFELITE CHARGED ~$450. SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID NOTHING IS "FREE" ABOUT RECALLS, AND I DO NOT WANT HONDA TOUCHING MY CAR!!! I HAVE COMMUNICATED, THAT I WANT SOMEONE I CAN TRUST TO DO THE AIRBAG, TO AT LEAST 5 HONDA REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR RESPONSE IS ALWAYS THE SAME: SILENCE! ... AND THEN MORE SCREAMING RED MAIL!!!! WELL I AM SCREAMING TOO!!!!! TELL ME OF AN INDEPENDENT NON-HONDA SHOP I CAN TAKE IT TO, AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO GET THIS DEADLY THING OUT OF MY CAR!!!!! NOW YOU WANT A DATE????? BEEN HARASSED AND RIPPED OFF FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHOULD JUST SELL THAT DEADLY PC OF JUNK!!!!! THERE IS MORE UNRELATED STUFF I COULD WASTE YOUR TIME AND MINE TELLING YOU

WIFE DROVE CAR TO WORK ON RAINY DAY AND OPENED WINDOW TO USE KEY CARD TO ENTER PARKING GARAGE. WHEN LEAVING WORK WINDOW WOULD NOT OPEN. I AM A MECHANIC AND INSPECTED SWITCHES ON MASTER SWITCH WHEN WIFE ARRIVED HOME THAT DAY. WINDOW WOULD SURGE UP WITH SWITCH PLACED IN UP POSITION NO OPERATION IN DOWN POSITION. I ORDERED NEW DRIVERS WINDOW MASTER SWITCH ONLINE AND REPLACED UNIT AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I NOTICED HONDA FIT OLDER MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR WINDOW SWITCH ISSUES. I THINK THEY STILL HAVE A ISSUE WITH MOISTURE GETTING TO THE SWITCH SOLDER BOARD.SWITCH PART NUMBER 35750-TK6-A01 $154.00. *TR

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

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH 2013. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THAT WHEN I GO TO TURN IT OFF THE DIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I USE THE HEATER, THE DIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. *TR

I WAS HIT ON DRIVER SIDE BY A OLDER HONDA ACCORD MODEL VEHICLE YEAR 2000 BODY TYPE; THE ACCORD WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A GREEN LIGHT THAT JUST CHANGED FROM RED, SO HE WASN'T GOING FAST (IM ASSUMING) WHEN HE HIT ME WHILE I WAS PASSING THE INTERSECTION AT ABOUT 49MPH. I WANT TO REPORT THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS DRIVING IS UNSAFE AND HANDLED POORLY, LOST TOTAL CONTROL, BRAKES AND STEERING LOCKED, ROLLED OVER FOUR TO FIVE TIMES HITTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT POLE; THE STABILITY OF VEHICLE IS VERY POOR AND ENGINE, TRANSMISSION EVERYTHING FELL APART UNDER THE HOOD. I AM REQUESTING FOR THIS MATTER TO BE INVESTIGATED, IM INSURED THE CAR IS HERE AT MY HOUSE FOR NOW, YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO COME HERE TO SEE IT OR WORK IT OUT WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. THANK YOU AND THIS IS SERIOUS, YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED THROUGH THOSE INTERSECTION CAMERA'S ON SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 AROUND 1030AM, CAMINO REAL & HWY 76, BONSALL CALIFORNIA. *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

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

DUE TO NUMEROUS ERRORS IN THE NAVTEQ/NOKIA/HERE.COM NAVIGATION DVD UPDATE PROVIDED FOR MANY HONDA MODELS IT IS UNSAFE TO USE. IT CONSISTENTLY MISIDENTIFIES ROAD AND EXITS, AND SUGGESTED EXITING OFF A BRIDGE WHERE THERE WAS NO EXIT. THE DISC PROVIDER OFFERS NO REMEDY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WEST DEVON WITH THE SPEED LIMIT 20, I WAS GOING AT 5 TO 08 MILES OR LESS,IN A SECOND I FELT THE CAR ACCELERATE BY HIMSELF , I TRIED TO STOP, THE BREAKS DID NOT RESPOND AND HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME.THE IMPACT WAS LIKE SOME ONE WAS PUSHING ME, WHEN I HIT THE CAR AND I HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON, THE AIR BAG DID NOT WORK, FOR THE DAMAGE IN MY CAR THE WAS SOO BAD THAT THE WHOLE FRONT WAS DAMAGE SO BAD FOR THE SPEED, THAT I AM NOT SURE IF THIS CAR SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE.THIS IS WAKE CALL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I AM SURE AS SOON THE REPAIR IS DONE I WILL TRADE THIS CAR.THIS CAR IS LIKE DRIVING WITH PLASTIC METAL. I SAW IN THE INTERNET HONDA RECALL SOME FIT MODELS. *JS

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

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10554185 NOW WITH THIS NATIONWIDE AIRBAG RECALL I SUSPECT MY INCIDENT IS RELATED BUT AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AFTER MY COMPLAINT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST. OBVIOUSLY SINCE THEN I HAVE REPAIRED MY VEHICLE BUT AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER CONTACTING THIS AGENCY, HONDA HEADQUARTERS IN US AND THE HONDA DEALER AT THE TIME I GOT NO HELP OR GUIDANCE, AND YET A YEAR LATER THERE IS THIS MASSIVE RECALL ON AIRBAGS THAT TOOK YEARS AND MULTIPLE STAGES AND LOSS OF LIFE TO COME TO LIGHT. AT THE TIME OF MY INCIDENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND POLICE REMARKED THAT IN ALL OF THEIR EXPERIENCE THEY HAD NOT WITNESSED THE STATE OF HOW AND WHY MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DOES THIS NOT RAISE A FLAG NOW? PLEASE HELP. *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

2010 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE UNDERBODY EXPOSED WIRES DAMAGED BY RODENTS THAT CAUSED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNDERBODY HAD EXPOSED WIRES THAT WERE OPEN TO THE GROUND. RODENTS HAD EATEN INTO THE WIRES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE FIRST INCIDENT CAUSED A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION; THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO GEAR UPON STARTING AND THEN AGAIN AT 25 MPH. THE SECOND TIME, THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRE WAS GNAWED AND NOT FUNCTIONING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED HONDA WAS APPARENTLY USING BIODEGRADABLE, SOY-BASED WIRING THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS.

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

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

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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS USING AFTERMARKET FLOOR MATS FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARD. THE HOOKS THAT HELD THE FLOOR MAT DOWN BECAME BROKEN AND THE FLOOR MAT BECAME LODGED UNDER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FLOOR MATS WERE TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT STRAIGHTEN. I WAS FORCED TO CONTINUE TURNING. IT WAS A CONGESTED AREA IN FRONT OF BOSTON BACK BAY RAIL STATION. LUCKILY, THERE WAS A SPACE IN THE DROP OFF LANE TO MY RIGHT WITH NO PERSON OR CAR IN THE WAY AND I WAS ABLE TO BRAKE AND STOP WITHOUT INJURING ANYBODY. MY HONDA FIT IS THE S MODEL WHICH HAS CONTROLS ON THE CROSS-BAR OF THE STEERING WHEEL FOR CLUTCH-LESS SHIFTING. THE RIGHTHAND CONTROL HAD CAUGHT ON MY WINTER COAT. AND PREVENTED THE WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION. NOTE THAT I AM SHORT (5'1") SO THAT I HAVE THE SEAT FORWARD IN ORDER TO REACH THE PEDALS. THIS PUTS ME CLOSER TO THE WHEEL THAN MOST PEOPLE. I COULD EASILY HAVE HIT A CAR OR PEDESTRIAN BECAUSE OF THESE UNNECESSARY SHIFTERS. THEY REALLY SHOULD BE REPLACED BY D 1 2 ON THE STICK SO THAT A DRIVER CAN ACCESS THE LOWER RATIOS WHEN NECESSARY WITH OUT THE DANGER OF GETTING CAUGHT. *TR

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

2010 HONDA FIT BASE WHILE IDLING OR IN PARK I PUSH THE DRIVER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK MASTER SWITCHFORWARD TO "ON" POSITION. INTERMITTENTLY THERE IS A A HIGH PITCH SCREECHING SOUND. DEALER STATED THE WHOLE SWITCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THAT IT IS ELECTRICAL SWITCH ISSUE WITH INTERMITTENT SHORT. THIS WILL BE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. AN ONLINE SEARCH SHOWS THAT HONDA CORP IN TOKYO (SEPTEMBER 2011) HAS ISSUED A RECALL OF 963,000 HONDA FIT AND CR-V WORLDWIDE (INCLUDING U.S.) FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE DEALER SAID MY VIN IS NOT UNDER RECALL...HMMM? *TT
