2007 HONDA FIT LEAKING WATER INTO SPARE TIRE WELL AND UNDER PASSENGER SEAT CARPETING. HAD IT IN DURING FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP - COULD NOT FIND IT. HAD IT IN AGAIN IN 2009 - THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. HAD IT IN JULY 13TH, OF THIS YEAR, BECAUSE SMELL WAS SO BAD - LIFTED UP REAR PASSENGER SEAT TO A SOAKED CARPET AND WET SPARE TIRE WELL. THIS TIME THEY FOUND IT , ATTEMPTED TWO FIXES SO FAR. BROUGHT IN TODAY, JULY 19, - WILL BE ATTEMPTING 3RD FIX. AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MOLD SMELL - THEY CLEANED UP THE WHITE MOLD DURING THE FIRST FIX - SO VISUAL EVIDENCE IS GONE. I HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES AND TAKE MEDICATIONS EVERY DAY, YEAR ROUND. THE DEALERSHIP AND MECHANICS SAY THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH HONDA ENGINEERS ON HOW TO FIX - BUT SO FAR UNSUCCESSFUL. I BOUGHT THIS NEW, AS A RETIREMENT GIFT TO MYSELF. CASHED IN AN IRA. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA TO LET THEM KNOW I HAVE FILED THIS. *TR

STRUCTURE
I FIRST NOTICED WATER POOLING ON THE REAR PASSENGER FLOOR SPRING 2010. TOOK TO HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY ALSO FOUND WATER IN THE TRUNK UNDER THE SPARE TIRE. SEALED SEVERAL AREAS INCLUDING AROUND RIGHT REAR WINDOW. WATER CONTINUES TO LEAK INTO REAR FLOORBOARDS, NOW ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES, AS WELL AS A SMALL AMOUNT INTO THE TRUNK AREA. THIS HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED NOSE UP ON A SLIGHT SLOPE FOR THE MOST PART. DEALER HAS RE-EXAMINED CAR AND DETERMINED THAT IT IS A RESULT OF BODY WORK TO REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR, ALLEGING THAT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE DOOR IS UNEVEN (AND WELL BELOW THE LEVEL THE WATER IS COMING IN). HOWEVER WATER CONTINUES TO COME IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR HATCH AREA WHERE NO BODY WORK WAS DONE. (CAR HAD A DEER THROWN INTO THE 2 DRIVERS SIDE DOORS AND FRONT QUARTER PANEL, THIS WAS NOT A VEHICULAR ACCIDENT, NO FRAME DAMAGE, ETC, JUST DENTED DOORS). THE WATER ON BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR FLOORBOARDS (WHICH HAS A "HUMP" IN THE MIDDLE OF IT) IS ALMOST 1/2" DEEP AFTER A STEADY RAINSTORM. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
MY 2007 HONDA FIT HAS CONTINUALLY WORE OUT TIRES ON THE REAR OF THE CAR, WEARING THE OUTER EDGE AFTER ONLY 10,000-15,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH AMERICA HONDA, BUT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE. BASED ON AN ONLINE FORUM (WWW.FITFREAK.COM) THIS IS A RECURRENT ISSUE THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 40 MINUTES ON THE HIGHWAY, LEFT IT IN THE PARKING LOT OF A RESTAURANT WHILE AT A BRIDAL SHOWER FOR ABOUT 2 1/4 HOURS. BECAUSE THE DAY WAS HOT I LOWERED THE DRIVER'S WINDOW TO LET AIR IN, THEN DROVE THE CAR OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND IMMEDIATELY ONTO THE HIGHWAY ON-RAMP. ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY I RAISED THE WINDOW AGAIN. VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER I SMELLED A "HOT" OR BURNING SMELL, NOTICED THICK SMOKE COMING OUT BETWEEN THE WINDOW BUTTONS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF THE CAR, GOT OUT AND CALLED FOR HELP. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES FLAMES WERE COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I COULD SEE THE PLASTIC ON THE DOOR MELTING AND DRIPPING. POLICE AND FIRE PERSONNEL ARRIVED, EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND TOWED THE CAR. ALTHOUGH I TRIED TO STAY AWAY FROM THE SMOKE I DID END UP INHALING SOME OF IT AND EXPERIENCED MILD CHEST PAIN AND COUGHING FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. *TR

SEATS
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

TOWING A 2009 HONDA FIT BEHIND A MOTORHOME WHEN IT LOCKED UP. EVERYTHING WAS SET ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. IT IS AUTOMATIC. WE WERE TOLD IT COULD BE THE BATTERY BUT WE ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT EXPLANATION. HAVE YOU HEARD OF OTHER HONDA FITS LOCKING UP THE FRONT WHEELS WHILE TOWING. IT DRIVES FINE IF NOT BEHIND THE MOTORHOME. WE DRAGGED THE TOAD FOR ABOUT 50 FEET AND HAD TO REPLACE TWO FRONT TIRES. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
MY CLUTCH WENT OUT TWICE IN UNDER 17,000 MILES. DRIVEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS. FIRST CLUTCH WENT AT 6011 MILES (JANUARY 30, 2008). CLUTCH WOULD NOT ENGAGE ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IN LA. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. HONDA REPLACED THE CLUTCH, THE FLYWHEEL, THE PRESSURE PLATE, AND BOTH BEARINGS UNDER THE HEADING OF "GOODWILL". THEY CLAIMED IT WAS USER WEAR. AT 6000 MILES? THE SERVICE CONSULTANT SAID THAT IT WAS THE WORST WORN CLUTCH HE HAD EVER SEEN... IT WAS "BLUE". CLUTCH BEGAN SLIPPING AGAIN AT 17,800 MILES. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGAIN BLAMED ME FOR THE WEAR. COULD NOT TELL ME WHY IT WAS MY FAULT. THE CLUTCH DISC SHOWED UNEVEN WEAR. WHEN I ASKED IF THEY INSPECTED THE TIRES TO SHOW THAT THE CAR WAS "OPERATED PROPERLY" THEY SAID THAT THE USE OF THE CLUTCH DID NOT EFFECT THE TIRES. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE SENT PICTURES IN TO A HONDA REP. WHEN I ASKED TO SEE THE PICTURES 7 DAYS LATER I WAS SENT ONE PARTIAL IMAGE OF MY CLUTCH, WHICH SHOWED OBVIOUS UNUSUAL WEAR. THE IMAGE WAS TIME-STAMPED 6 DAYS AFTER I WAS TOLD THE PHOTO(S) OF THE CAR WERE INSPECTED BY AN AMERICAN HONDA REP. HONDA DENIES ANY RESPONSIBILITY ON THEIR FAULTY MACHINE EVEN AFTER A CASE MANAGER SAID IT WAS "UNLIKELY" MY FAULT, BUT "POSSIBLE". I COULD GROW A THIRD ARM FROM MY FOREHEAD... IT IS "POSSIBLE" BUT "UNLIKELY". HONDA WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND TEAR DOWN COSTS. I DO NOT MERELY WANT THE CAR REPAIRED. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE OF MONEY. IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND A THIRD CLUTCH GOES AGAIN, WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, INJURY OR EVEN DEATH IS POSSIBLE. AFTER 14 DAYS OF DISCUSSION AND NO CAR, OR ONE EVEN SUPPLIED, AMERICAN HONDA AGREED TO REOPEN THE CASE AFTER NOTICE OF ARBITRATION AND A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT. STILL WAITING FOR AN ANSWER. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
ON MAY 21, 2010. MY DAUGHTER HAD A BLOW OUT ON HER 2009 HONDA FIT SPORT THAT SHE PURCHASED IN FEBRUARY. TWO WEEKS PREVIOUSLY, SHE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TIRES ROTATED BY THE DEALER AND NO PROBLEMS WHERE REPORTED. ON MAY 21ST, SHE WAS DRIVING DOWN HWY 99 AT 65 MPH, WHEN THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. BEFORE SHE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT THE LIGHT MEANT, THE BACK REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW. IT WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL ITSELF AT THE WHEEL WITH SOME RUBBER STILL ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL. WE WERE ASSISTED OFF THE HIGHWAY BY CHP BECAUSE THE LOCATION WAS TOO DANGEROUS TO WAIT FOR A TOW. WE HAD AAA RESPOND AND PUT ON THE SPARE AND WE DROVE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE TIRE, EXCEPT FOR THE BLOWOUT. I HAD THE DEALER REPLACE THE TIRE (THEY WAIVED THE LABOR) AND HAD THEM THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE REMAINING TIRES FOR DAMAGE. TWO WEEKS LATER, ON JUNE 4TH, THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. SHE IS CERTAIN THAT THERE WERE NO POTHOLES OR DEBRIS IN THE ROADWAY. SHE BARELY MAINTAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GOT IT OFF THE ROADWAY. CHP RESPONDED TO ASSIST HER. THERE WAS A FIST SIZED HOLE IN THE TIRE IN THE SIDEWALL AND THE RIM WAS SEVERELY BENT. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHO RESPONDED ADVISED THAT IT APPEARED TO BE A FAULTY TIRE. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO OUR DEALER. AGAIN, THEY ARE CLAIMING IT HAD TO BE A ROAD HAZARD. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE ASKED THEM TO INSPECT AND PUT IN WRITING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE REMAINING TIRES OR TO REPLACE THE TWO LEFT FROM THE INITIAL BATCH OF TIRES, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING. *TR

HEADREST FAILED DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THE HEADREST TIPS MY HEAD SO FAR FORWARD MY CHIN IS PRACTICALLY ON MY CHEST. THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST OR REPLACE IT, I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND PARTS DEPARTMENT. MY ONLY SOLUTION IS TO PUT THE HEADREST ON BACKWARD, WHICH MEANS I HAVE NO NECK PROTECTION IN A CRASH. *TR

4 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY NEW CAR, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THEN, WITHIN 10 DAYS, IT DEVELOPED A 2ND CRACK WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TO OREGON (I LIVE IN CA). THE FIRST CRACK BEGAN IN THE BOTTOM CENTER OF MY WINDSHIELD, THE 2ND CRACK BEGAN AT THE TOP CENTER (BEHIND MY REAR VIEW MIRROR). AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND SEVERAL WEBSITE DEVOTED TO THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE SAME MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AS MY CAR FROM PEOPLE ALL OVER THE U.S. *TR

MY 2007 HONDA FIT HAS DEFECTIVE DOOR SEALS IN AT LEAST THE FRONT TWO DOORS AND THE TRUNK LEADING TO BLACK MOLD AND RESULTING HEALTH CONCERNS. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED ON ANY KIND IF INCLINE AND IT RAINS, WATER ENTERS THE CAR VIA THE DEFECTIVE DOOR SEALS AND SOAKS INTO THE REAR CARPETS CAUSING EXTENSIVE MOLD DAMAGE TO THE CARPETS AND SEALS. WATER ALSO FILLS THE REAR SPARE TIRE WELL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE RAIN. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH MY 2007 HONDA FIT. *TR
