MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2016 HONDA FIT HATCHBACK WHICH IS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD WITH 1245 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER. SHE WAS ON A CITY STREET DURING A HARD RAIN. THE PRESSURE FROM THE RAIN WATER FROM THE STREET SPLASHING UNDERNEATH THE CAR SEEMED TO STRIP THE 4 PLASTIC BOLTS OFF THAT WERE HOLDING THE FRONT FLOOR ENGINE COVER(THE LARGE BLACK PLASTIC ENGINE COVER THAT I CALL( THE SKID PLATE) CAUSING IT TO FALL AND DRAG ON THE ROAD ALL THE WAY HOME. THE PART # IS74641-T5R-A00. THE WOLFCHASE HONDA DEALER CHARGED US $418.37 TO REPLACE THIS PART .I WENT ONLINE TO CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND THEIR WERE SEVERAL NHTSA MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS/ COMPLAINTS ON THE 2015 AND 2016 HONDA FIT CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS. ONE OWNER SAID THAT 4 PLASTIC SCREWS WERE ALL THAT HELD THIS COVER ON THE CAR. THE PLASTIC SCREWS MUST NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE THE EFFECTS OF BUMPY ROUGH ROADS OR PRESSURE FROM RAIN WATER CRASHING AGAINST THE COVER. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD THESE COVERS REPLACED BUT THEY KEPT FALLING OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THAT THE HONDA CO. NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND STOP CHARGING OWNERS 4 TO 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR. THE PROBLEM MAKES US SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR BUMPY ROUGH ROADS. WHEN THESE PLASTIC SCREWS BREAK AND FALL OUT THEY DISLODGE THE COVER FROM THE CAR CAUSING IT TO DRAG THE STREET WITH VERY LOUD NOISES AND RUINING THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER. I BELIEVE METAL OR STEEL SCREWS COULD HOLD THIS COVER ON MORE SECURELY. SURELY HONDA CAN DESIGN SOMETHING BETTER FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN YOU PAY AROUND $20,000.00 FOR A NEW CAR AND ONLY HAVE 1245 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD, YOU REALLY EXPECT A BETTER SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE.

MY 2009 HONDA SPORT IS RED. THE PAINT IS FADING ALL OVER....SO MUCH THAT IT APPEARS PINK IN MANY PLACES. THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT HONDA'S DO. I AM HOPEFUL THAT HONDA WILL COVER COSTS FOR REPAINTING THE VEHICLE.

I WAS TOLD BY THE PRESCOTT, AZ, DEALER THAT A "FIX" FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE BEGINNING OF SUMMER. LAST WEEK I LEARNED VIA A PHONE CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP, THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REPAIR MECHANISMS FROM THE COMPANY.

TAKATA RECALL: I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED MY HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL ON 3/24/15. OF COURSE I WANTED TO BE PUT ON A LIST FOR PRIORITY, EXPECTING FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY OTHER KNOWN ORDERLY APPROACH TO THIS NIGHTMARISH ORDEAL. HOWEVER WHEN I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THE NATIONAL HONDA HOTLINE 6/21/6 FOR AN UPDATE, NEITHER COULD PROVIDE ANY NEW INSIGHT WHATSOEVER AFTER 3 MONTHS HAD PASSED. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. A MANUFACTURER CAN PROVIDE SOME AT LEAST REMOTELY ACCURATE DELIVERY ESTIMATE UPDATE AND DISSEMINATE THAT INFO. ALSO, SOMEONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ACQUIRING THAT INFO, COORDINATING WITH OTHER ENTITIES AND DISSEMINATING THAT INFO. RATHER IMPORTANT WITH LIVES AT RISK. IF THESE PARTS ACTUALLY START TO TRICKLE IN, WE, AND EVERYONE INVOLVED, NEEDS TO KNOW TIME FRAMES, AND IF THERE IS A SYSTEM OF SOME SORT IN PLACE ,SO THAT DEALERS CAN PROVIDE A BETTER ANSWER THAN "I DON'T KNOW", AND THE CUSTOMER CAN KNOW THAT THEY HAVEN'T "FALLEN THRU THE CRACKS" WHICH IS PRETTY COMMON IN THE REAL WORLD. THANKS

STEERING
POWER STEERING TURNS OFF AND ON RANDOMLY, STEERING TROUBLE LIGHT COMES ON WITHIN A FEW SECONDS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, STEERING BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT. IF IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING, STEERING WHEEL CAN JERK OUT OF YOUR HANDS. HAPPENS MUCH MORE OFTEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS HOT. OCCURS RANDOMLY, WHILE MOVING OR NOT.
