VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
HONDA FIT SPORT :ENGINE WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON FOR WEEKS THEN TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY THEN BACK ON AGAIN SINCE ABOUT AUGUST 2014. I COMPLETED THE 120,000 MILE RECOMMENDED SERVICE AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP NEAR WHERE I WAS AT THE TIME BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEN OFF AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY REGARDLESS OF THE SERVICE. NOT SURE IF IT IS RELATED TO THE ENGINE SURGE I AM WORRIED ABOUT NOW (MARCH 2015) ACCOMPANIED BY MY PADDLE SHIFTERS NOT WORKING WHILE IN D MODE. I EXPERIENCED THIS WHEN ACCELERATING AT 20MPH AND AGAIN AT 35MPH MY ENGINE HAD HIGH RPMS THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT SURGED AND MADE A THUD AS THOUGH THE ENGINE WOULD FALL OUT OF MY CAR. I WAS REALLY NERVOUS TO CONTINUE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AS EACH TIME I ACCELERATED IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT 20 MPH. AT MY DESTINATION FOR TWO HOURS I THEN DROVE HOME WITH SOME HILLS AND WINDING ROADS AND PUT MY CAR IN S MODE TO SEE IF PADDLE SHIFTERS WOULD WORK OR RESET IN SOME MANNER, WHICH IT DID START WORKING. THE SURGING CEASED TO HAPPEN IN S MODE SO I DECIDED TO SHIFT INTO D MODE TO SEE IF PADDLE SHIFTERS WOULD WORK PROPERLY AND THEY DID AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME FORTY MINUTES. THE ORANGE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND PADDLE SHIFTERS SEEM TO BE WORKING IN BOTH S AND D MODE NOW WONDERING WHAT TO GET CHECKED OUT. SINCE I SPENT ALL THAT MONEY ON THE MAJOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE CAR SHOULD WORK WELL FOR THE NEXT 150,000 IT'S NOW NEAR 148,000 MILES I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER I CAN COUNT ON THE PADDLE SHIFTERS OR IF THEY WILL FAIL ME AGAIN. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT USUALLY TURNS OFF ONCE I GET AN OIL CHANGE AND RESET IT HAS REMAINED ON. I DON'T KNOW IF A DIAGNOSTIC WILL REVEAL ANYTHING OR IF I SHOULD JUST GET THE PADDLE SHIFTERS CHECKED. I USE THE PADDLE SHIFTERS A GREAT DEAL WHILE IN D MODE OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY PERSON DRIVING THE VEHICLE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
I READ ONLINE THAT REAR SEATBELTS WERE BEING INSTALLED INCORRECTLY IN MEXICO HONDA PLANT (CEYLA, MEXICO). SO, I TRIED OUT THE BELTS. ONE SEATBELT DOES NO WORK AT ALL !! THE LEFT 'FEMALE' PIECE DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING INSIDE OF IT THAT LOCKS IN THE MALE BELT PIECE, RENDERING IT USELESS. IT IS EMPTY INSIDE, SO NO CLICKING NOISE AS WHEN BUCKLING YOURSELF IN. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT IS AKIN TO SUMO WRESTLING TO GET THE MALE BELT PART OUT OF THE FEMALE PART. I HAVE TO REALLY TUG ON BELT, AND I'M 54 YEARS OLD WITH NO ARTHRITIS IN MY HANDS OR GRIP-STRENGTH PROBLEMS. THESE SEATBELTS ARE AWFUL. CLEARLY, THE REAR-SEATBELT ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY VIOLATION. *TR

SEAT BELTS
DUE TO OTHERS REPORTING IT, I ALSO CHECK THE SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY FIT LX, AND THE CENTER AND LEFT-SIDE REAR PASSENGER BUCKLES ARE ALSO REVERSED IN MY CAR. WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT, I WAS ABLE TO TWIST THEM AROUND, BUT NOW THEY DON'T COME BACK THROUGH SO EASILY WHEN I FLIP THE SEAT BOTTOM BACK DOWN. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUSH AND PULL THEM THROUGH, BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE NOW CORRECTLY ORIENTED. HOWEVER, THIS IS SOMETHING HONDA SHOULD FIX IN CURRENT PRODUCTION AND REPAIR IN PRIOR PRODUCTION. *TR

EQUIPMENT
ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM LOSES CONTACT WITH SMARTPHONE PLUGGED INTO USB PORT. SOMETIMES TURNING OFF AND TURNING THE AUDIO SYSTEM RESTORES CONTACT, SOMETIMES TURNING THE CAR OFF COMPLETELY IS REQUIRED. UNPLUGGING AND RE-PLUGGING THE SMARTPHONE DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS OCCURRED FIRST MONTHS AGO (DON'T RECALL WHEN OR AT WHAT MILEAGE AS IT'S NOT A SAFETY OR HEALTH PROBLEM), BUT HAS STARTED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THE INCREASING FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED THE IRRITATION FACTOR. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THIS STARTED HAPPENING EARLIER THIS WEEK AND HAS RECURRED A FEW TIMES. AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND MOVING THE AT FROM R TO D, IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS FOR POWER TO BE DELIVERED TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. SINCE I'VE BEEN HOLDING DOWN THE ACCELERATOR A LITTLE BIT, EXPECTING FORWARD MOTION, WHEN POWER IS FINALLY SENT TO THE DRIVE WHEELS, THE CAR SURGES A LITTLE BIT. I HAVE LEARNED TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS BY FEATHERING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL UNTIL POWER IS SENT TO THE DRIVE WHEELS, BUT THIS WOULD MAKE PARALLEL PARKING OR GETTING OUT OF A TIGHT CURB-SIDE SPACE VERY TEDIOUS AND MAY CAUSE A SLIGHT ACCIDENT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SINCE SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR ON JUNE 13, 2014, BAD TO AWFUL ODORS HAVE BEEN EMITTED FROM THE HVAC SYSTEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHOM I PURCHASED IT HAS SERVICED IT THREE TIMES (2014/09/17 @ 4,982MI, 2014/09/27 @ 5,254MI, 2014/10/31 @ 6,589MI). EACH TIME, FOAMING AC CLEANER WAS USED. THE THIRD ONE ALSO INVOLVED REMOVING THE BLOWER ASSEMBLY (THEY CUT AWAY PART OF THE DASHBOARD TO GET IT OUT) SO THEY COULD SPRAY CLEANER DIRECTLY INTO THE EVAPORATOR BOX, THOUGH ONLY THE INLET SIDE OF THE EVAPORATOR COILS IS ACCESSIBLE. AFTER EACH SERVICE, AIR COMING OUT THE VENTS WOULD SMELL OF CLEANER FOR A FEW DAYS, THEN THE BAD SMELLS WOULD BE DONE FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN RETURN. THE THIRD SERVICE WAS THE LONGEST-LASTING, BUT BAD ODORS AND NOW MOLD SPORES STARTED COMING OUT AGAIN, FIRST NOTICEABLE IN EARLY DECEMBER 2014. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SEVERE SYMPTOMS OF MOLD EXPOSURE, INCLUDING ITCHY THROAT AND EYES, SINUS HEADACHES, SHARP SINUS PAIN, BLOODY NASAL DISCHARGE, SOMETIMES WITH LARGE CLOTS. I'VE STARTED USING N95 OR N100 RESPIRATORS, DRIVING WITH WINDOWS OPEN AND MINIMIZING USE OF THE HVAC. THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR SMELLS MOLDY/MILDEWY WITHOUT USING THE HVAC SYSTEM; I THINK MOLD IS NOW IN THE REST OF THE INTERIOR, AND THIS CAR IS KEPT OVERNIGHT IN A DE-HUMIDIFIED GARAGE! I SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA EARLY FEBRUARY 2015, A COMPLAINT WITH THE OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE MID-FEBRUARY AND SUBMITTED A LEMON LAW CLAIM ON 2015/03/06 TO THE ARBITRATION PROGRAM HONDA MAKES OWNERS USE. HONDA HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE THUS FAR. HONDA'S CELAYA, MEXICO PLANT, IN ADDITION TO LABOR ISSUES, HAD TRANSPORT TRAINS HIJACKED, WITH PARTS STOLEN FROM MANY CARS. IF THIS IS TRUE, THESE CARS SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD AS NEW! IT WOULD EXPLAIN THE LOOSE DRIVER DOOR TRIM AND REAR HATCH TRIM I FOUND ON MY CAR AND SNAPPED INTO PLACE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
WITH NO PRECIPITATING EVENT THAT WE ARE AWARE OF, THE INNER SIDEWALL OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON US HWY 93 IN WESTERN MONTANA ON A DRY ROAD. ALL FOUR TIRES, PURCHASED AS A SET, HAD JUST UNDER 6,000 MILES ON THEM AND HAD BEEN ROTATED BY THE TIRE STORE FROM WHICH WE PURCHASED THEM JUST TWO DAYS BEFORE INCIDENT AND WERE PROPERLY INFLATED. UPON INSPECTION AFTER INCIDENT OUTER SIDEWALL LOOKS STRESSED AS IT, TOO, WAS READY TO BLOW. AS WE EXPECTED, THE TIRE DEALER HAS AGREED TO REPLACE THE TIRE. *JS

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY TO PARK IN OUR CAR PORT. AS I APPROACHED THE CAR PORT THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. I APPLIED THE BRAKES BUT IT DID NOT EVEN SLOW DOWN. THE CAR WENT OVER A 8 INCH BY 4 INCH BARRIER AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR PORT, CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED AS IT WENT THROUGH A SMALL GARDEN, THEN IT KNOCKED DOWN OUR PRIVACY FENCE. ALL DURING THIS TIME I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKE. THE CAR THEN WENT ABOUT 60 FEET THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORS YARD AND CONTINUED THROUGH THE NEXT HOUSES' PRIVACY FENCE AND WENT ANOTHER 6 FEET AND FINALLY STOPPED WHEN IT HIT THE HOUSE. THE AIR BAGS NEVER RELEASED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS WOULD OCCUR RANDOMLY AND BECAME INCREASING MORE DIFFICULT. OVERRIDE HAD TO BE USED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN WE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER, FIRST QUESTION WAS "DO THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK?" DEALER REPLACED BRAKE SWITCH P/N 36750-TY0-J11 AS A REPAIR ATTEMPT. SERVICE NOTED THE TECHNICIAN FELT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM AND TO LET THEM KNOW IF IT RECURS. TO-DATE (3 DAYS AFTER REPAIR - OK AT THIS TIME. 1ST OCCURRENCE TOOK 4.6K). QUESTION; DOES HONDA HAVE A BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ISSUE? NOTE: I WAS SURPRISED THAT THE DEALER HAD THE PART IN STOCK FOR SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON THE EVENING OF MARCH 23, 2012, AT APPROXIMATELY 6:30 PM, I WAS DRIVING MY FIT ON THE PA. TURNPIKE. I SUDDENLY HEARD A THUD FROM UNDER THE ENGINE, WHICH SOUNDED AS THOUGH A STONE HAD RICOCHETED OFF THE ROAD SURFACE ONTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CHASSIS. I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED VOLUMINOUS GREY SMOKE ISSUING FROM THE TAILPIPE. AS I WAS LESS THAN ONE QUARTER MILE FROM AN EXIT, I TOOK IT AND QUICKLY PULLED OVER, SHUT OFF THE IGNITION, AND JUMPED OUT. I NOTICED A LARGE, GROWING PUDDLE OF OIL DIRECTLY BENEATH THE ENGINE. PRIOR TO MY SHUTTING OFF THE IGNITION, I AT NO TIME SAW THE LOW OIL PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AS IT TURNS OUT, THE OIL PLUG HAD INEXPLICABLY BLOWN OUT. SINCE I PURCHASED MY HONDA FIT, IT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED IMPECCABLY, AS RECOMMENDED BY THE MAINTENANCE MINDER AND THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE ROOF OF MY HONDA FIT IS FLAKING OFF VERY BADLY. THIS DELAMINATION OCCURRED VERY QUICKLY OVER A FEW MONTHS. THERE ARE 15 YEAR OLD CARS WITH BETTER PAINT THAN MY CAR. HONDAS ARE BUILT TO LAST, BUT THEY WON'T LOOK LIKE THEY ARE LASTING. I TAKE SO MUCH PRIDE IN KEEPING A CLEAN CAR AND THIS CONDITION MAKES ME LOOK LIKE I DON'T TAKE CARE OF IT. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LEAKS WATER EVERY TIME IT RAINS. SAFETY CONCERNS ARE MOLD GROWTH ON CARPETING, BODY RUST FROM EXPOSURE TO WATER, SEATS HAVE ALSO GOTTEN WET WHEN FOLDED DOWN INTO FOOT AREA (MORE MOLD), WINDOWS FOG UP BECAUSE OF EXTRA HUMIDITY IN THE VEHICLE (IMPAIRING VISIBILITY), AND COULD POTENTIALLY ALSO BE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FROM EXTRA HUMIDITY. HAVE ALSO FOUND WATER IN SPARE TIRE WELL IN BACK OF CAR, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHERE THIS ENTERED THE CAR. ASKED A HONDA DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY WANTED TO CHARGE $200 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE JUDGING BY THE AMOUNT OF DISCUSSIONS IN ONLINE FORUMS. *TR

STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STRUCTURE:BODY
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
