THE SPLASH GUARD/SPLASH SHIELD CAME LOOSE UNDER THE FRONT OF MY CAR AND STARTED DRAGGING WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO REMOVE IT. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS UNUSABLE AND HAVE ORDERED ONE TO REPLACE IT. IT WILL COST $232 FOR THE PART AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH TO INSTALL IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT TIMES THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE FUEL INJECTION STALLS OUT TEMPORARILY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO VENICE HONDA IN FLORIDA TWICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE. I HAVE THE RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA. NHTSA RECALL 15V-559. WHEN I WROTE TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA THEY REPLIED THAT THEY NEED LOTS MORE INFO BEFORE THEY CAN REIMBURSE ME. APPARENTLY WHOEVER WROTE THIS DOES NOT KNOW THAT CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING ON A SAFETY RECALL. I DON'T WANT MONEY, I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE I GET HIT FROM BEHIND. IT MOSTLY STALLS IN CITY TRAFFIC MAKING A TURN AND SOMETIMES TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD A LOUD SOUND LIKE SOMETHING WAS DRAGGING UNDER THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND FOUND THAT THE PLASTIC UNDERCARRIAGE HAD COME LOOSE AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INSISTED THAT I HAD HIT SOMETHING, WHICH I HAD NOT. THEY PUT NEW SCREWS IN BUT THEY DID NOT HOLD AND IT CAME LOOSE AGAIN. I NEVER HIT ANYTHING AND THERE WAS NO REASON THAT IT SHOULD HAVE COME LOOSE. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT OFF WHEN IT CAME LOOSE AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHIMMER AND HAVE A FLUCTUATION IN POWER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH. I HAD TO MOVE OVER TWO LANES TO PARK ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON: MALFUNCTION; TRACTION CONTROL; POWER STEERING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING NONSTOP (IT WAS ON SOLID PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT). I WAS NOT SAFE ON THE SHOULDER WITH CARS FLYING BY ON THE INTERSTATE. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND AFTER A SLIGHT HESITATION, THE CAR STARTED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A HALF MILE ON THE SHOULDER AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE SO I WAS IN A SAFER LOCATION. THE CAR'S POWER WAS INCONSISTENT AS I DROVE THIS HALF MILE. ALL THE WARMING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER'S SHOP. THE HONDA SHOP WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WARNING LIGHTS THAT I REPORTED. THEY SAID THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION WHAT THE PART FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD ALL THE SCHEDULED SERVICE AND RECALLS ADDRESSED, NOW THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED THE CAR RUNS NORMAL AGAIN. EXACTLY TWO WEEKS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME HONDA DEALER SHOP CHANGED MY OIL & FILTER AND PERFORMED THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND THEY REPLACED THE PLUG TOP IGNITION COIL PER A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE WONDERED IF THERE COULD BE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THE DEALER SHOP HAVING REPLACED THE PLUG TOP IGNITION COIL. I HAVE THE HONDA DEALER PAPERWORK SUPPORTING MY REPORTS. THE CAR'S SHIMMERING AND LOSS OF POWER ON THE INTERSTATE PUT ME IN SERIOUS DANGER OF A CAR ACCIDENT.

SEAT BELTS
CENTER AND DRIVER REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES ARE INSTALLED BACKWARDS CAUSING THE SEATBELTS TO NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. HONDA FIX IS TO INVERT THE BRACKET, WHICH CHANGES THE ANGLE OF THE LOAD APPLIED TO THE SEATBELT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT.

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION. NOVEMBER 2015 THE CAR WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE, WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK, THE CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 70 FEET BEFORE STOPPING. TOOK IT TO TOM WOOD HONDA ALL THEY CHECKED WAS THE BRAKES AND SAID IT WAS FINE. UPDATE: FEBRUARY 2016 MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A PANERA BREAD GENTLY TAPPED THE BRAKES THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WENT THRU THE DOOR AT PANERA BREAD. TOM WOOD HONDA CHECKED THE BRAKES SAYS ITS FINE AND RELEASED IT TO THE COLLISION CENTER. I AM MAKING LEASE PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR BUT WHEN IT'S REPAIRED IT IS STAYING AT THE LOT. IT ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN AND IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. I CANNOT ALLOW ANYONE IN MY FAMILY TO DRIVE IT. I ALSO CANNOT AFFORD INSURANCE WISE TO DRIVE A CAR I KNOW ACCELERATES WHEN IT DECIDES TO.

MY COMPLAINT CONCERNS THE MANUFACTURERS "FIX" FOR THE CVT DRIVE PULLY SHAFT THAT IS INCORRECTLY SURFACE HARDEN/HEAT TREATED. HONDA TENDERS A SOFTWARE FIX TO REDUCE LOADS ON THE INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED PART. I FEEL THAT THE SOFTWARE FIX IS AN ECONOMICAL RESPONSE, THAT AFTER THE SOFTWARE IS CHANGED, STILL LEAVES MY VEHICLE WITH AN INCORRECTLY MANUFACTURED PART THAT COULD FAIL, CAUSING THE AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THE CORRECT REPAIR WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH ONE CORRECTLY MANUFACTURED.

IN SPITE OF MY REPEATED REQUESTS, THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE LOCATED AT TORRANCE, CA (TEL.# 800-999-1009) WILL NOT GIVE ME THE PART NUMBER OF THE DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT (WITH LOW HARDNESS) INSTALLED ON MY VEHICLE (VN [XXX])! IN OCTOBER 2015 I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING ?IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL? NOTICE CONCERNING MY 2015 HONDA FIT WITH CVT TRANSMISSION (VN [XXX]): DURING CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, A COMBINATION OF HIGH STRESS EXERTED FROM THE CVT PROGRAMMING ALONG WITH POTENTIAL DRIVE PULLEY SHAFTS MANUFACTURED WITH LOW HARDNESS, THE DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT MAY BREAK DURING OPERATION. IF THE DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT BREAKS THE VEHICLE MAY LOSE ACCELERATION OR THE FRONT WHEELS MAY LOCK UP, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE RECOMMENDED CVT SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED BY THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY UPON RECEIPT OF THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN OVER 18,000 MILES PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT DAMAGE TO THE ?LOW HARDNESS? DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED! FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I HAVE THIS INFORMATION ? PLEASE HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS ADVISED TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY CONCERNS BY JENNIFER TIMIAN, CHIER OF THE RECALL MANAGEMENT DIVISION OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATIONS ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL COMPLAINT. IT IS NOT ABOUT AN ACCIDENT THAT HAS OCCURRED, BUT RATHER PREVENTIVE MEASURE TO KEEP THEM FROM HAPPENING. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ABOUT THE DEFECT IN THESE CARS (15V-574). THIS COMPLAINT IS ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE FIX THAT HONDA HAS IMPLEMENTED FOR IT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS FLAW IN HOW THEY ARE FIXING THE DEFECT THAT LEAVES THE OPERATORS OF THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES(OVER 100,000 OF THEM) IN DANGER. THE REASON FOR THIS RECALL IS QUITE SERIOUS. IT APPEARS THAT SOME OF THE PULLEY SHAFTS IN THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS WERE MANUFACTURED WITH LOW HARDNESS AND THIS COUPLED WITH HIGH FORCES IN THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAN CAUSE THE PULLEY SHAFT TO FAIL RESULTING IN LOSS OF ALL DRIVE AND IN ONE INSTANCE LOCKING OF THE FRONT WHEELS (A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT CAN EASILY RESULT IN SOMEONE BEING KILLED). THE SOLUTION THAT HONDA CAME UP WITH WAS TO CHANGE THE PROGRAMMING IN THE CVT TO REDUCE THE FORCE ON THE PART. THIS IN NOT THE CORRECT WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE FLAW THAT HONDA IS OVERLOOKING IS THAT THESE CARS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN AND THE PART HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO STRESSES THAT HAVE CAUSED IT FAIL IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. IN THE CASE OF MY GIRLFRIEND FOR OVER A YEAR. THE PART CAN EASILY BE WEAKENED AND CLOSE TO FAILURE. REDUCING THE FORCES APPLIED TO IT CAN NOT INSURE THAT THE PART WILL NOT FAIL. I FEEL THAT THE CORRECT FIX WOULD BE TO REPLACE THE PART WITH ONE THAT IS PROPERLY HARDENED OR AT LEAST INSPECT AND TEST THE PART TO INSURE THAT ITS STRENGTH HAS NOT BEEN COMPROMISED.

I DID NOT REALIZE IT WHEN I TEST DROVE THIS VEHICLE, BUT THIS CAR HAS MAJOR BLIND SPOTS OUT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW DUE TO DESIGN. ON A WINDING ROAD, I CAN LOOSE SIGHT OF AN ONCOMING CAR BASED ON THE ANGLE OF MY CURVE. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES TRAFFIC COMING AT THE DRIVER PERPENDICULARLY IS ALSO NOT VISIBLE BECAUSE OF THE CAR'S DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND FRONT END DESIGN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. IF I HAD REALIZED IT IN ADVANCE, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS MAKE OF FIT.

WHEN MY WIDE WAS MOVING INTO A PARKING SLOT IN FRONT OF A GROCERY STORE, AT THE MOMENT OF COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND JUMPED FORWARD HITTING FIRST THE CONCRETE BLOCK IN THE PARKING SLOT, THEN THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK, KEPT MOVING FAST FORWARD ONTO THE SIDEWALK AND FINALLY COMING TO AN STOP WHEN IT HIT THE WALL OF THE GROCERY STORE. THIS IS KNOWN AS "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" OR "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION". ABOUT 175,000 2015 HONDA FIT HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS VERY ISSUE IN JAPAN. ALSO, THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY EITHER CAUSING THE BODILY INJURY TO THE DRIVER (HEADACHE, NECK AND BACK PAIN, SHE HAS SEEN DOCTORS AND PHYSICAL THERAPIST).

THE LOWER ENGINE COVER (FRONT) CONTINUES TO FALL OFF DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC SCREWS. EVEN WHEN THE GUARD IS HIT BY SOMETHING VERY SMALL IT IS PRONE TO FALL OFF, WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER HONDA'S WARRANTY. THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC CAN ONLY BE PURCHASED AS A KIT FOR ALMOST $400 (SOMETIMES $500 IN OTHER STATES). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS SEEING AS THOUGH I PURCHASED THE CAR BECAUSE OF ITS LOW PRICE POINT. THE FAULTY SCREWS AND SHIELD ARE NECESSARY FOR THE ENGINE'S SAFETY. IT'S VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND GREEDY FOR HONDA TO SUGGEST I PAY THIS AMOUNT FOR SUCH A CHEAP PRODUCT THAT IS BOUND TO FALL OFF AGAIN.

THE START/OFF BUTTON TURNS THE CAR OFF WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THE CAR SHOULD HAVE TO BE IN PARK TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE. TWICE NOW I'VE ACCIDENTALLY TURNED MY CAR OFF WHILE DRIVING BY PRESSING THE START/OFF BUTTON INSTEAD OF THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. ONCE THE CAR TURNS OFF, IT WON'T TURN BACK ON UNLESS IT'S IN PARK. SINCE I WAS ONLY GOING 30 MPH AND WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE, I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. IN A TENSE SITUATION, I'M AFRAID I'LL HIT THE WRONG BUTTON AGAIN WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT A HIGH SPEED, WHICH WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

BOTH FRONT HEADRESTS ON OUR 2015 HONDA FIT LX CVT ARE TILTED FORWARD SO THEY, IN TURN, TILT OUR HEADS FORWARD - THIS CAUSES NECK PAIN AND THE TENDENCY TO HAVE TOO LOW OF A LINE OF SIGHT, HENCE THIS IS A SAFETY RISK - MANY CARS HAVE THIS DEFECT BUT IT IS RARE IN CARS THAT ARE DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE TO DRIVE SUCH AS PORSCHE, CORVETTE, FERRARI, LAMBORGHINI, EVEN F1 AND INDY CARS - THOSE MANUFACTURERS KNOW THAT SAFETY AND PERFORMANCE DEMAND A NEUTRAL DRIVING POSITION SO HAVE UPRIGHT HEADRESTS - OUR FIRST CHOICE FOR A 4 DOOR CAR THIS TIME WAS A MAZDA 3 BUT ITS HEADRESTS WERE EXTREME - THE FIT WAS THE BEST OF THE CARS ON OUR LIST BUT IT IS TURNING OUT TO BE A "PAIN IN THE NECK" - MANUFACTURERS SHOULD OFFER A CHOICE OF ANGLE FOR THE HEADRESTS (THIS ANGLE AND UPRIGHT WOULD COVER IT) - ONLY THOSE WITH KYPHOTIC THORACIC SPINES WOULD FIND THIS CAR COMFORTABLE, AND MOST PEOPLE DON'T "FIT" THAT DESCRIPTION - THIS MAY NOT BE THE PLACE FOR IT BUT WE DON'T GET MORE THAN 25 MPG CITY DRIVING (EPA RATING IS 33) - DEALER DENIES A PROBLEM WITH THAT MILEAGE
