STRUCTURE
AFTER ABOUT 2 YEARS, I NOTICED THAT MY CARPET IN THE REAR SEAT AND REAR HATCH AREA WERE SATURATED WITH WATER ANY TIME IT RAINS (LIVING IN FLORIDA, IT RAINS OFTEN). UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE REAR HATCH AREA WAS POOLING WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER (WE'RE TALKING A QUART OF WATER AFTER A HEAVY DOWNPOUR, EASILY A GALLON WITHIN A RAINY WEEK IF NOT TENDED TO DAILY). IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF LEAK AROUND THE REAR DOOR HATCH AND/OR REAR LIGHT SEALS, AND/OR IN THE ROOF, AND/OR IN THE FLOOR. THIS HAS LED TO MOLD AND MILDEW GROWTH IN THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHICH REPRESENTS A SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION PROPERTY DAMAGE TO ANYTHING BEING TRANSPORTED IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS FROM THE 2007-08 MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING YET DONE BY MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS FAR AS I AM AWARE OF. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ALL OF A SUDDEN WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. IF MY SON HADN'T FIGURED OUT TO FLIP ON THE HIGH BEAMS, HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT LOOKS LIKE THE WIRING HARNESS TO THE SWITCH IS BAD. ALL OF THE FUSES ARE FINE. *TR

STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2007 HONDA FIT. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE CAR, UNSURE IF IT'S FROM THE FRONT DOOR OR REAR DOOR PANELS BUT THE FLOORS IN THE BACKSEAT AREA GET SOAKED EVERY TIME IT RAINS. (WHICH IS DAILY THIS TIME OF YEAR IN FLORIDA) MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY TYPE OF REPAIRS. MOLD IS FORMING ON THE CARPET, THE CAR SMELLS HORRIBLE! I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE VERY SAME ISSUE AS ME. DEALERSHIPS ARE SCOFFING AT THE PROBLEM STATING THAT EVERY CASE "IS ISOLATED" AND THAT SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THEMSELVES WHETHER OR NOT IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE VALUE OF MY 2007 HONDA FIT IS DOWN THE TUBES! I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AS WELL AND SOME HAVE PENDING LAW SUITS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE 2007 MODEL IS A LEMON! HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE ALREADY THREE OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACKSEAT WITH THE MOLD! THIS IS AFFECTING OUR HEALTH. *TR

STEERING
EPS POWERSTEERING SYSTEM ON VEHICLE FAILED DURING COLD START OF VEHICLE. DURING A COLD START THE VEHICLE STARTS UP NORMALLY UNTIL YOU TURN THE WHEEL. THE EPS TURNS OFF AND A POWERSTEERING LIGHT TURNS ON. TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN RESETS THE SYSTEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. EPS CAN BE REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP BUT COSTS ABOUT $1000 TOTAL. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HEADLIGHT FAILURE OCCURRING FREQUENTLY. I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY HEADLIGHTS 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HONDA AND THEY JUST REPLACE THE BULB WITHOUT LOOKING FOR THE ACTUAL PROBLEM. USUALLY IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE LIGHT BULB, BUT I HAVE HAD THE PASSENGER ONE GO OUT AS WELL. *TR
