AIR BAGS
TAKATA AIRBAGS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION HAVE CONTACTED PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE FIT 3 TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND AM TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK WHICH I DO. I WAS TOLD TO PARK THE CAR AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A LOANER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GET INSURANCE ON THE LOANER. I FEEL IT IS THEIR DEFECTIVE CAR WHICH I PURCHASED IN GOOD FAITH AND THEY SHOULD COVER THE INSURANCE. ALSO STOP PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER - REPAIR THE CAR -AND STOP TRYING TO PURCHASE IT BAC. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING.

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.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATOR (SRS) SENSOR IS LIT ON DASHBOARD OF MY 2012 HONDA FIT AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2012. HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING SINCE MAY 25, 2016. TODAY IS MAY 30, 2016. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED I AM NOT ALONE AS MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OWNERS MANUAL SAYS THAT THE SRS LIGHT MEANS THERE IS A PROBLEM RANGING FROM SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSION TO THE SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS HARNESS RESTRAINTS. RESEARCH ALSO STATES THAT AIR BAGS WILL NOT ACTIVATE DURING ACCIDENTS WHILE THIS SRS IS LIT. SOMETHING HONDA LEFT OUT OF OWNERS MANUAL. ANOTHER PROBLEM I READ REPORTS ABOUT FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS, AFTER HAVING THEIR SRS LIGHT CHECKED BY A HONDA DEALER, WAS THIS COULD MEAN A DEFECTIVE OCCUPANT POSITION SENSOR AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE. ALSO FOUND DURING RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A CAMPAIGN AGAINST HONDA FOR THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE OCCUPANT POSITION SENSOR. DON"T KNOW IF THIS SRS LIGHT PROBLEM HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, BUT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A LINK. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE PURCHASED ASAP TO HAVE MY SRS LIGHT PROBLEM CHECKED. IN THE MEANTIME I CERTAINLY HOPE NO ONE RUNS INTO ME.

STEERING
EPS FAILURE: LAST MONTH, AFTER A GAS STATION STOP; I STARTED THE CAR, TO SEE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) INDICATOR LIT. FINDING THE POWER STEERING NOT WORKING, I CHECKED THE MANUAL. TURNING THE CAR OFF & ON AS RECOMMENDED RESET THE INDICATOR AND UNLOCKED THE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES SINCE THEN. LAST WEEK THE PROBLEM HAPPENED THREE TIMES, AND PERSISTED UNTIL I DROVE A SHORT DISTANCE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT FAILURE IN TRAFFIC, DURING A TURN, ETC. READING ONLINE, I FOUND MANY DRIVERS REPORTING THIS TROUBLE WITH BOTH OLDER AND NEWER FITS, LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE; SOMETIMES HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING. THE TROUBLE CAN OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ISSUE IS DETAILED IN HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN 09-043, JULY 7, 2009.
