ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SINCE PURCHASE 2010 I HAVE NOTED A SUSPICION OF VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE SPOKEN NUMEROUS TIMES OF THIS SUSPICION AND ISSUES OF CONCERN TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND WITH DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO CHECK THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM.. MY SUSPICION BEGAN WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASE ,WITH AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS MAKING UNUSUAL SOUND AS IF NOT ENOUGH JUICE TO LOCK OR OPEN AUTOMATICALLY TO MORE CONCERN OF DRIVING WITH A DRAG SENSE AND FEELING LIKE GOING TO STALL AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS APPROXIMATELY 2015? COMPLAINT FORM ASKS FOR EXACT MILEAGE AND YEAR BEGAN. DATE I ENTERED IS JUST OVER PURCHASE DATE ALTHOUGH THE HEAT HAS BEEN MORE OF A SERIOUS SUSPICION 2015-2017 THAT I CAN RECALL; MILEAGE OF ISSUES NOTED ARE GUESSTIMATE 0 MILES THROUGH CURRENT 124,000 MILES CAR PERIODICALLY FEELS LIKE WILL STALL IN TRAFFIC AT STOP LIGHT, AND LACK OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS 30-70 MPH. IT IS COMMON TO FEEL LIKE I AM PULLING A TRAILER FILLED WITH HEAVY ROCK AS IF A PULL OR DRAG ON ENGINE, SOMETIMES LIKE IT IS JUST GOING TO STALL WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD BATTERY CHECKED FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS WHEN QUESTIONING WHY IT DRIVING THIS WAY AND I AM TOLD ,THE BATTERY IS OK. I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY 2X SINCE 2010 FOR ACTUAL BATTERY FAILURE. THE DRIVER DASHBOARD AND DRIVER FOOT AREA HEAT UP TO WHAT HAS BEEN NOTICEABLE AND OF SUSPICION TO ME, FEELING LIKE AN UNUSUAL AND DANGEROUS LEVEL OF HEAT TO TOUCH. TO TOUCH HEATING COOLING KNOB FOR EXAMPLE OR IN AREA OF DASHBOARD AND ELECTRONIC KNOBS HAVE BEEN VERY HOT. I HAD JUST SEEN ONLINE AND READ ABOUT A 2010 HONDA FIT ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V101000 RECALL DATED MARCH 7, 2011. I AM TOLD BY HONDA AND NHTSA THAT MY 2010 HONDA FIT IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO NOT BEING OF SAME MANUFACTURER OF OTHER HONDA FITS OF THIS RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY ENGINE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN OF MY SUSPICION ARE RELATED TO THIS RECALL.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY ISSUE IS WITH THE QUICKLY DEGRADING PAINT JOB ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, AND I AM PARKED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT WHERE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS CARS ARE NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES. THE ONLY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WITH PAINT DEGRADATION COMPARABLE TO MY CAR IS A BLUE 1999 HONDA CIVIC, BUT IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN MY '10 FIT. JUST TO REITERATE, WE ARE PARKED IN THE SAME PARKING LOT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUN AND ELEMENTAL EXPOSURE. AFTER LOOKING TO SEE IF MY VIN WAS LISTED UNDER CURRENT HONDA CAMPAIGNS, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT LISTED. HOWEVER, A FRIEND POINTED OUT AN ONGOING CAMPAIGN FOR 2006-2013 CIVICS WITH EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTIES. THE CIVICS INCLUDED ARE ALL IN THE DARK BLUE OR BLACK COLOR FAMILY, WHICH IS THE SAME AS MY FIT. I LOOKED UP PHOTOS OF THE PAINT DEGRADATION ON THESE CIVICS, AND NOT ONLY ARE THE PAINT COLORS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT THE DEGRADATION IS IN THE SAME AREAS AS THAT OF MY FIT. THE ROOF AND HOOD ARE THE TWO BIGGEST PROBLEM AREAS, AND THE CAMPAIGN LISTS ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, UPPER PORTION OF THE DOORS, AND UPPER PORTIONS OF THE QUARTER PANELS. THE DEGRADATION DESCRIBED ON THE CIVICS IS A CHALKY OR CLOUDY APPEARANCE, EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY CAR'S CURRENT APPEARANCE. NOW, JUST TO SUM THINGS UP: 1. MY CAR IS IN THE YEAR RANGE OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 2. MY CAR IS THE SAME PAINT COLOR FAMILY AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 3. MY CAR HAS THE SAME AREAS OF DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS, INCLUDING THE HOOD, THE ROOF, AND THE UPPER PORTIONS OF THE DOORS. 4. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF CHALKY, CLOUDY, OXIDIZED DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 5. I AM NOT THE ONLY HONDA FIT OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE. 6. MY CAR STARTED DEGRADING WELL INSIDE THE 7 YEAR EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY PERIOD GIVEN TO OWNERS OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS.

HONDA HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. BOTH THE DEALER HERE IN IL AND HONDA ON THE WEST COAST INITIALLY INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - HOWEVER, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT BRAND OR MAKE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. IT SEEMED VERY STRANGE TO ME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER WHO UTILIZES JUST-IN-TIME PARTS INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AND A NON-TAKATA (OR DIFFERENT MODEL TAKATA AIRBAG) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE - THUS I REQUESTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE MGR ON THE WEST COAST CONTACT HONDA JAPAN TO DETERMINE THE EXACT MAKE/MODEL OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN EARLY DECEMBER 2016 HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INDEED A TAKATA AIRBAG OF THE TYPE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD AN ADDITIONAL RECALL WOULD BE FORTHCOMING AND THAT I SHOULD SECURE REPLACEMENT IN 2017. I HAVE CHECKED YOUR SAFER.GOV WEBSITE WITH MY VIN AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN ADDED. HAS HONDA APPRISED YOU THAT ADDITIONAL AIRBAGS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, AND IF SO, WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE TO REFLECT SAME. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG GRATIS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE UNIT IS RECALLED. AWAIT YOUR ADVICE/UPDATE. THANK YOU. *TR
