The problem I have is: There is 3 recalls for my vehicle. One is the urgent as Takata airbags installed.

Dealers name: Gary Smith Honda, 225 Miracle Strip SW, Fl., 32548. Is it safe to drive this car?

MY 2007 HONDA FIT SPORT (AUTOMATIC) HAS HAD A TRUNK LEAK FOR YEARS. I HAD NOTICED WET CARPETING BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BUT ASSUMED IT WAS FROM WET SHOES AFTER RAINFALL. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS IN FACT A FAILURE IN THE WINDOW/DOOR SEAL IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THE CAR HAD BEGUN TO DEVELOP AN ODOR WHICH, WHEN I CHECKED TODAY, HAS TURNED INTO MOLD. WE CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AT ALL BECAUSE OF FEARS OF INHALING MOLD SPORES. I HAD CHECKED THE FITFREAK.NET WEBSITE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE AMONG FIT OWNERS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? MY CAR IS WORTHLESS UNLESS THIS CAN BE FIXED AND THE MOLD TOTALLY REMOVED. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE CAR IS MOVING OR STATIONARY: WATER WILL SEEP IN FROM THE FRAME, WET THE CARPET, AND PRODUCE MOLD.

AFTER RAINFALL, WATER IS COLLECTING (AND NOT DRAINING) IN THE BACKSEAT FLOOR AREA (UNDER THE CARPET) AND ALSO IN THE REAR HATCH, WHERE THE SPARE TIRE IS LOCATED. THE RUBBER SEALS ON THE BACK DOORS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION - AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF WATER SPOTTING ON THE INSIDE OF THE BACK DOORS OR THE REAR HATCH AREA - SO IT'S DIFFICULT TO TELL WHERE THE WATER IS COMING IN FROM. I PULLED THE CARPET UP IN THE BACK SEAT AREA AND HAVE TOWELS DOWN TO ABSORB THE WATER. I ALSO HAVE THE BACK SEATS UP AND HAVE TOWELS BELOW THEM THE CONTINUE TO GET SOAKED AFTER IT RAINS. THE TOWELS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR SEEM TO COLLECT MORE WATER THAN THE DRIVER-SIDE TOWELS. I'VE READ NUMEROUS REPORTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2007 AND 2008 HONDA FITS BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. IT'S A HEALTH HAZARD TO HAVE WATER AND DAMPNESS INSIDE A VEHICLE, WHERE MOLD COLLECTS/GROWS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER YET AS MOST REPORTS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SAY THEY HAVE TAKEN THEIR CARS IN NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO REMEDY. I'M GOING TO TRY TO INVESTIGATE WHERE THE WATER IS COMING IN ON MY OWN, BUT FROM THE STORIES I'VE READ ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A REAL ISSUE WITH 2007 & 2008 FITS.

THIS CAR STALLS IF DRIVEN IN COLD WEATHER WHEN ENGINE IS STILL COLD. WHEN SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL (MANUAL TRANSMISSION), SAY, APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, GENERALLY WHEN CAR IS STILL IN MOTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT SPEEDS RANGING NEAR STOPPED TO 45 MPH. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR, MOSTLY IN COLDER WEATHER. STALLING DOES NOT CREATE AN ERROR IN THE COMPUTER LOG, SO IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S NOT HAPPENING WHEN TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING 2011 HONDA FIT IN THE HIGHWAY A SMALL PEBBLE HIT LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF FRONT WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK (CRACK IS ABOUT 20 INCHES LONG). WINDSHIELD MAY BE TOO THIN OR DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE UNDER REGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES THE WINDSHIELD WOULDN'T CRACK (SMALL PEBBLES USUALLY CHIP THE WINDSHIELD), I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY PUBLIC CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL (HONDA FIT) AND I FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING, PARTICULARLY IF THE OBJECT HITTING THE WINDSHIELD IS BIGGER THAN A PEBBLE; CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK, THEREFORE REDUCING VISIBILITY TO THE DRIVER.

Honda is re-recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under previous recall 10V-033. The remedy applied in this earlier recall may have been insufficient.

If the switch is not damaged, the owner will be instructed to await a second notification that will instruct them to return to the dealer to have a replacement switch installed free of charge. Honda anticipates it will have sufficient parts inventory to notify owners of vehicles with undamaged switches to return to dealers for replacement switches in Fall 2013.

THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (ODS) AND THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM (OPDS) IS ROUTED UNDERNEATH THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD. IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, SALT FROM THE SNOW ON THE DRIVER'S SHOES WILL MELT AND MAY PENETRATE THE CARPET AND LEAK INTO THE WIRE HARNESS. IF THE HARNESS IS EXPOSED TO SALT BRINE, CORROSION MAY OCCUR AND THE WIRE MAY BREAK CAUSING THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. A FAILURE OF THE ODS AND OPDS MAY NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD SEAT OR AN OUT-OF-POSITION PASSENGER AND DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AND SIDE AIR BAGS WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED.
