2010 Honda FIT

• 12/31/2015· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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.

• 12/26/2011· STEERING

  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

• 12/24/2013· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VISIBILITY

  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

• 12/21/2019· AIR BAGS

  WE KEEP GETTING NOTIFICATIONS THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR AIR BAGS. BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY GUSTMAN IN APPLETON, WI.

I WILL SEND THEM BACK TO YOU

• 12/15/2020· POWER TRAIN

  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.

• 12/11/2015· STEERING

  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.

• 12/09/2016· AIR BAGS

  I HAVE CALLED HONDA NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY HAVE NOT REPLACED AIR BAG YET.

• 12/09/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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

  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?

• 12/02/2024· POWER TRAIN,AIR BAGS

  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?

• 11/30/2013· AIR BAGS,SEAT BELTS

  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

• 11/30/2012· STEERING

  THE CAR'S STEERING IS EXTREMELY OVER-RESPONSIVE, BUT IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT SPEED SENSITIVE. AS A RESULT, IF ONE TAKES THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR EVEN A SECOND, THE CAR OFTEN MOVES OUT OF ITS LANE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SCARY EXPERIENCES, WHERE WE LOOKED OVER OUR SHOULDER MOMENTARILY IN PREPARATION FOR A LANE CHANGE, CHECKED TRAFFIC ON BUSY CROSS STREETS, OR CHANGED A HEATING OR COOLING SETTING, AND FOUND OURSELVES CROSSING OVER THE CENTERLINE OR NEARING THE DITCH. THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT, AND ALSO TENDS TO VEER LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT ONE OF US COULD GET KILLED IN EITHER A HEAD-ON COLLISION OR BY RUNNING INTO THE DITCH. THE CAR IS A BASE FIT MODEL, WITH A 5-SPEED MANUAL. *TR

• 11/30/2010· SEATS

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

  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.

PULLS LEFT WHEN DECELERATING AND RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATING. 3. WILL NOT RETURN TO STRAIGHT WHEN RELEASED. YOU MUST RETURN IT YOURSELF AND HUNT FOR STRAIGHT DOWN THE ROAD YOURSELF. ALL 3 DEFECTS ARE A BIG SAFETY HAZARD: YOU WILL BE IN THE ONCOMING LANE OR CURB BEFORE YOU CAN CORRECT IT. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX IT. THE ONLY THING THEY DID WAS INCREASE THE TOEIN SOME AND SAID THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO. I AM ABOUT TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN.

I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN WITHIN A MONTH, BUT HAVE FOLLOWED UP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS BECAUSE THE PART HAS BEEN BACKLOGGED. IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE MY INITIAL PHONE CALL RELAYING MY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. HONDA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. ALL THEY TELL ME EACH TIME I CALL IS TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT OUR FAMILY USES TO COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK, AND SEEING AS HOW WE HAVE A FULL FAMILY, SOMEONE HAS TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. BEING PREGNANT, I AM CONCERNED FOR MY AND MY BABY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT APPRECIATE EXPRESSING MY CONCERNS FOR MY SAFETY AND HONDA'S RESPONSE BEING TO JUST SIT AND WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN.
