I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ON BEHALF OF MY 78 YEAR OLD MOTHER. APPROX. THE BEGINNING OF JUNE, SHE SMELLED GAS WHEN SHE GOT IN THE CAR AND IT WAS NOT RUNNINGR. A FEW DAYS LATER, SHE COULD SMELL THE GAS OUTSIDE, WHEN IT WAS ALSO NOT RUNNING. SHE CALLED HONDA AND WENT FOR AN APPOINTMENT. THEY TOLD HER THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS DAMAGED FROM "RODENTS EATING" IT AND IT WAS "LEAKING GAS". IT ALSO HAD A RODENT NEST ON IT. THAT REPAIR COST HER $699.52. ONE OF THE WORKERS AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD HER THIS WAS A COMMON"PROBLEM DUE TO WHAT THE PLASTICS ARE NOW MADE OF AND THE RODENTS ARE ATTRACTED TO IT". ON JUNE 15, SHE PICKED UP THE CAR AND WENT HOME AND HAD A FRIEND CHECK THE FILTERS AND FOUND ANOTHER NEST IN THE CABIN FILTER, AND CHANGED THE FILTER. IN OCTOBER, SHE SAW EVIDENCE OF MICE INSIDE THE CAR. AGAIN THE CABIN FILTER HAD MOUSE DEBRIS AND ALSO THE ENGINE FILTER. SHE CHANGED BOTH FILTERS. SHE CALLED HONDA SUPPORT, AND TOLD THEM THAT SHE CAUGHT A MOUSE WITH A TRAP IN HER CAR. AND "CEASAR" AT HONDA SUPPORT SAID THAT THEY WERE "HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RODENTS EATING WIRES AND PLASTIC" WHICH WE LATER FOUND OUT WERE LIKELY MADE FROM SOY AND APPARENTLY RODENTS LIKE TO EAT. THEN THEY TOLD HER TO GET HER WIRES COVERED WITH A "RODENT DETERRENT TAPE" AND SHE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HONDA DEALER AND TOOK HER CAR BACK IN. THAT COST HER $563.46. HONDA SUPPORT SAID THE DAMAGE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT GAS WAS LEAKING OUT OF MY MOTHER'S CAR. AND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HONDA HAS STATED IS KNOWN, YET THEY ARE MAKING LOTS OF MONEY BY NOT REVERTING BACK TO THE PREVIOUS OR ALTERNATIVE PLASTICS!!!

THE BATTERY ON THIS CAR DIES CONSTANTLY, WITH NO PROVOCATION BUT WHEN A GARAGE CHECKS IT OUT, IT ALWAYS REPORTS AS A GOOD BATTERY. THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING AND PULLED OVER FOR A 20 MINUTE NAP WITH THE AIR ON WITH THE CAR IN IDLE. THE BATTERY "DIED" AND AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE OFF FOR AN HOUR, IT WORKED AGAIN. IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN, INCLUDING DYING AFTER I HAD THE CAR OFF BUT MY 4-WAY BLINKERS ON DUE TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS. IT'S GOTTEN SO BAD THAT WHEN I IDLE FOR 5 MINUTES THE BATTERY "DISCHARGES" AND THE IGNITION WON'T TURN OVER. I HAVE TO LET THE CAR SIT COMPLETELY OFF TO TURN THE IGNITION OVER AFTER A 5 - 10 MINUTE WAIT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL, ON MY WAY TO WORK, I PULLED OVER TO TAKE A ROAD SIDE NAP FOR 5 MINUTES. THE CAR WAS IN IDLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND THE PHONE CHARGER PLUGGED IN. THE CAR DIED AND I LOST A FULL DAY OF WORK! BUT IT ONLY DIES FOR THE IGNITION, THE ACCESSORIES WILL ALL WORK. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE BECAUSE "THE BATTERY FOR THIS CAR IS SO SMALL IDLING DISCHARGES IT. SO YOU CAN'T IDLE ANYMORE." THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE BATTERY. I ACCEPTED AND WENT ON MY WAY. THEN, LATER THAT WEEK, I WENT TO SEE A MOVIE. I HAD EVERYTHING IN THE CAR SHUT OFF, BUT I LEFT MY PHONE CHARGER PLUGGED IN TO THE POWER OUTLET, WITHOUT A PHONE TO CHARGE. THE CAR DIED AGAIN AND I NEEDED MY FRIENDS TO GIVE ME A JUMP! SAME SCENARIO, ALL THE ACCESSORIES WORKED, JUST THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE BATTERY AND SAID "WELL NOT YOU CAN'T LEAVE THE PHONE CHARGER PLUGGED IN ANYMORE WHEN THE CAR IS OFF--THAT CAN REALLY DRAIN A BATTER." THAT MAKES NO SENSE. THAT IS THE EQUIVALENT OF YOU LEAVING YOUR (OFF) COFFEE MAKER PLUGGED IN AND POWERING DOWN YOUR HOUSE! NO ONE HAS GIVEN ME ANY OTHER EXPLANATION. THIS SEEMS LIKE A DESIGN DEFECT WHEN ONE CAN'T IDLE A CAR.

TOOK 2013 FIT TO DEALER DUE TO CAR NOISE UNDERNEATH AND CAR WANTING TO STALL AT STOPS, OR WHILE WAITING FOR LIGHTS TO CHANGE. MECHANIC FOUND DEBRIS/PART OF A FEATHER ON MAP SENSOR OF WHICH HE KEPT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RARELY EVER HAPPENS TO HONDA CARS AND WARNED THAT MY EXTENSIVE WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER DEBRIS FROM ROADS. I AM SHOCKED TO READ THAT THERE ARE VENTS BELOW THE LICENSE PLATE HOLDER NEAR THE ROAD, WIDE ENOUGH TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPOSE THE ENGINE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS SUCH AS A BIG ROCK, THIS CAUSES ROAD DEBRIS TO ENTER AND HIT THE A/C CONDENSER ONLY INCHES BEHIND THE OPENING. IN MY CASE, ONE WEEK AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR STALLING CAUSED BY MAP SENSOR DEBRIS I HAD A CAR ACCIDENT. THE FRONT BUMPER FELL OFF THE HONDA FIT AND EXPOSED 4 VERY LARGE, ALTHOUGH DEAD, INTACT BIRDS NEXT TO MY ENGINE WITH MANY FEATHERS, TWO ON EACH SIDE OF THE FRONT BUMPER. THE POLICE OFFICE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HONDA AS THEY NEEDED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY. TOLD ME THAT I CAN CONTACT THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR DISPUTE SETTLEMENT LOCATED IN MY CAR MANUAL IF I WANTED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. WHY HASN'T HONDA BEEN FORCED TO PROVIDE A GRILL COVER OR OTHER FORM OF PROTECTION?? I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THE HONDA FIT 2013 IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND MAY CAUSED ME MANY COSTLY REPAIRS. I HOPE SOMEONE HEARS ME AND ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM BEFORE A FATAL ACCIDENT OCCURS. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE PICTURES OF THE FOUR LARGE ADULT BIRDS LYING INSIDE THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR AS EVIDENCE THAT HONDA "MUST" ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR
