2010 Honda Fit

I WAS DRIVING WEST DEVON WITH THE SPEED LIMIT 20, I WAS GOING AT 5 TO 08 MILES OR LESS,IN A SECOND I FELT THE CAR ACCELERATE BY HIMSELF , I TRIED TO STOP, THE BREAKS DID NOT RESPOND AND HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME.THE IMPACT WAS LIKE SOME ONE WAS PUSHING ME, WHEN I HIT THE CAR AND I HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON, THE AIR BAG DID NOT WORK, FOR THE DAMAGE IN MY CAR THE WAS SOO BAD THAT THE WHOLE FRONT WAS DAMAGE SO BAD FOR THE SPEED, THAT I AM NOT SURE IF THIS CAR SAFE FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE.THIS IS WAKE CALL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY I AM SURE AS SOON THE REPAIR IS DONE I WILL TRADE THIS CAR.THIS CAR IS LIKE DRIVING WITH PLASTIC METAL. I SAW IN THE INTERNET HONDA RECALL SOME FIT MODELS. *JS

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE SERVICE ROAD A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SHORT, I STEERED MY VEHICLE TO THE LEFTSIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION. IT WAS RAINING AND THE ROAD WAS SLICK CAUSING MY CAR TO GO INTO A TAIL SPIN. I GAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR WITHOUT MAKING IMPACT TO ANYTHING AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ALTHOUGH MY AIRBAGS BURST OUT THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO INFLATE COMPLETELY. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT COMPLETELY CAME OUT OF ITS TRACK. I SUFFERED A SCRATCH/BURN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK AND A BRUISE BELOW MY RIGHT SHOULDER FROM THE SEATBELT. AMBULANCE AND POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT, THE POLICE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAD NEVER WITNESSED A SIMILAR SITUATION OF HOW AND WHY MY AIRBAGS AND SEATBELT WERE IN THAT CONDITION WITHOUT SKID MARKS OR IMPACT. *TR

2010 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE UNDERBODY EXPOSED WIRES DAMAGED BY RODENTS THAT CAUSED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNDERBODY HAD EXPOSED WIRES THAT WERE OPEN TO THE GROUND. RODENTS HAD EATEN INTO THE WIRES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE FIRST INCIDENT CAUSED A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION; THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO GEAR UPON STARTING AND THEN AGAIN AT 25 MPH. THE SECOND TIME, THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRE WAS GNAWED AND NOT FUNCTIONING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED HONDA WAS APPARENTLY USING BIODEGRADABLE, SOY-BASED WIRING THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 15332 MILES ON JUNE 13 2013 THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON, ADVISING THAT A TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR HAD FAILED. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT WAS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY BY JIM WHITE HONDA IN MAUMEE OHIO.. LESS THAN 4 WEEKS LATER AT APPROXIMATELY 16846 MILES ON JULY 13 2013 THE TPMS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT WAS REPLACED AND WAS COVERED BY WARRANTY BY HOLMAN HONDA OF FORT LAUDERDALE FLORIDA. THESE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW. HAVING TWO DIFFERENT TIRES FAIL WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON A CAR THAT IS RARELY AND CAREFULLY DRIVEN IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF SOME SORT OF DEFECT. CALLS TO HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE POINTLESS AND THE FIRST FAILURE COST $215.93. I WAS NEVER GIVEN THE PARTS OR TOLD ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT THE PARTS "FAILED". AS PART OF THE TREAD ACT, BECAUSE THEY ARE SAFETY EQUIPMENT I BELIEVE THAT DEFECTIVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY REGARDLESS OF THE DATE OF PURCHASE, AND I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED AND A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

THIS IS A REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM!! IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME IF THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 55 DEGREES. IF THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN HEATED FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING OUT TO THE ROAD, THE ENGINE WOULD BE DEAD EITHER AT AN UPHILL STOP SIGN OR DURING DRIVING WHILE THE BRAKE NEEDS TO BE USED. THE BATTERY SIGN LIGHTS FIRST AND FOLLOWED BY THE OIL LIGHT AND THEN THE ENGINE WOULD SWITCH OFF. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING EAST ON ROUTE 322 NEAR DAUPHIN, PA AT ABOUT 55 MPH. I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE. A CAR TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE CUT IN FRONT OF ME. TO AVOID HITTING HIM, I APPLIED THE BRAKES HARD. MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT OUT OF CONTROL, FISHTAILING IN THE LANE AND THEN SUDDENLY WENT INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. THE REAR END OF THE CAR SWUNG AROUND HITTING A BRIDGE ABUTMENT, BOUNCED OFF, AND WENT BACK INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE CAR OUT AND PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP IT. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE, BUT DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THIS INCIDENT REMINDED ME OF AN ACCIDENT I HAD YEARS AGO WITH THE CHEVY CITATION AND THE BRAKES LOCKED ON ME. IS THE SAME THING HAPPENING WITH THE FIT? I KNOW IT HAS ABS, BUT THINGS CAN AND DO GO WRONG. I ASKED THE REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK AT THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING. BUT THE PROBLEM MAY NOT BE VISIBLE. *TR

THE CAR'S STEERING IS EXTREMELY OVER-RESPONSIVE, BUT IS UNFORTUNATELY NOT SPEED SENSITIVE. AS A RESULT, IF ONE TAKES THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR EVEN A SECOND, THE CAR OFTEN MOVES OUT OF ITS LANE. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SCARY EXPERIENCES, WHERE WE LOOKED OVER OUR SHOULDER MOMENTARILY IN PREPARATION FOR A LANE CHANGE, CHECKED TRAFFIC ON BUSY CROSS STREETS, OR CHANGED A HEATING OR COOLING SETTING, AND FOUND OURSELVES CROSSING OVER THE CENTERLINE OR NEARING THE DITCH. THE CAR DOES NOT TRACK STRAIGHT, AND ALSO TENDS TO VEER LEFT OR RIGHT AFTER GOING OVER BUMPS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT ONE OF US COULD GET KILLED IN EITHER A HEAD-ON COLLISION OR BY RUNNING INTO THE DITCH. THE CAR IS A BASE FIT MODEL, WITH A 5-SPEED MANUAL. *TR
