2013 Honda Fit complaints

REQUESTED AIRBAG FIX AT DEALERSHIP WERE BOUGHT, WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BECAUSE THE AIRBAG NUMBER MUST BE MATCHED TO THE HONDA 2013 FIT. NEVER CALLED. ASKED AGAIN AND WAS IGNORED.

SPARK PLUGS BLEW OUT THEY WERE NOT TORQUED CORRECTLY. HONDA KNOWS AND HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST JULY OF 2016 (ACCORDING THE THEIR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS . HONDA HAS NOT EVEN SENT OUT LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THESE 2013 HONDA FITS. I LEASED THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2014 IN JANUARY 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IT SUDDENLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A SEMI. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE

BATTERY DIES. HAD IT PROFESSIONALLY RECHARGED, LASTED 6 WEEKS AND BEGAN DYING AGAIN. HAD TO JUMP START NUMEROUS TIMES. NOW BATTERY IS RUINED AND I NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR AND NEW BATTERY. CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES. I AM 2ND OWNER, BOUGHT IT IN 11/2016 AT 24,000 MILES.

THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO MANIFEST WHEN THE PASSENGER IS A LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULT, IN THE CASE OF MY WIFE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 115 POUNDS ' LIGHT TO BE SURE, BUT NOT ABSURDLY SO. *JS WE SEE THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY AND RARELY. MAYBE A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN A WEEK. THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT INDICATES THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED COMES ON. IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE THIS STATUS INDICATOR, FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS LIGHT IS ON, WE ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE SIDE AIR BAGS AS THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS LIGHT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AS LITTLE AS THREE SECONDS, SOMETIMES AS LONG AS A MINUTE. MOST OFTEN IT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT TEN TO FIFTEEN SECONDS. THERE IS NO PATTERN FOR WHEN IT MIGHT COME ON, OR WHAT WILL MAKE IT GO OFF. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. THIS PROBLEM ONLY MANIFESTS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF SHE IS DRIVING AND I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT NEVER OCCURS. IN ADDITION, THE REPORTS I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS ON THE INTERNET SUGGEST THAT THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, THAT THIS PROBLEM MANIFESTS ONLY WITH LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. INDEED, WE HAVE SEEN THIS OCCUR ONE TIME WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND A LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULT FRIEND OF OURS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 100 POUNDS WAS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SO IT SEEMS TO BE VERY MUCH RELATED TO PASSENGER WEIGHT.

2013 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY AIRBAG RECALL ISSUES, DEALERSHIP REFUSAL TO CANCEL LEASE AGREEMENT AND REFUSES RENTAL VEHICLE ASSISTANCE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PARTS HAD NOT COME IN FOR THE RECALL REPAIR OF THE AIR BAGS. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER WAS NOT IN POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS OF THE LEASE; THEREFORE, SHE FEELS SHE SHOULD BE CREDITED FOR THOSE 3 MONTHS. UPDATED 05/03/2017*JS

SWERVING IN UNSAFE MANNER DURING NORMAL WIND AT 55 MPH. HONDA FIT 2013 HB FWD TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON INNER LOOP OF WASHINGTON DC BELTWAY SWERVED MULTIPLE TIMES TO AN UNSAFE MANNER (MOVED OUTSIDE OF LANE) FOR 1 TO 2 SECONDS WHEN MET WITH LIGHT WIND. MANY OTHER CARS/TRUCKS TRAVELED ON SAME PATHS AT SAME OR HIGHER SPEEDS WERE NOTICEABLY UNAFFECTED. TIRES TREADS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, BALANCED, AND ALIGNED. PROBLEM NOT NOTICED BEFORE DUE TO TRAVELING MAINLY IN CITY ROADS WITH LESS WIND; THIS SWERVING OCCURRED ALMOST DAILY ON OPEN HIGHWAY FOR PAST FEW WEEKS.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2016 ALERTING ME THAT MY VEHICLE, A 2013 HONDA FIT-SPORT WAS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA FAULTY AIR BAG RECALL. THE LETTER ASKED FOR A RESPONSE WHICH WAS SENT IN AND SAID THAT DUE TO EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES, THAT I COULD TAKE NO ACTION AT THE TIME, BUT THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE SUMMER OF 2016 WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO GET THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAG REPLACED. IT IS JANUARY 2017. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL THE LETTER I RECEIVED WAS DATED MARCH 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER LETTER. NOW THAT THE RECALL IS 10 MONTHS OLD , I WONDER IF ANYTHING AT ALL WILL BE DONE. THANKS FOR READING.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2013 HONDA FIT IN MARCH, 2016. IT IS NOW DECEMBER OF 2016 AND MY DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN A NEW AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE. I THINK 9 MONTHS OF DRIVING THIS CAR WITH THIS AIRBAG IS TOO LONG TO WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT. DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN DO ABOUT IT EXCEPT TO SEND THIS NOTE TO YOU. *TR

JULY 2016 BOUGHT GOODYEAR ASSURANCE TIRES TO REPLACE THE WORN TIRES. I REPLACED 1 TIRE IN SEPTEMBER FOR WHAT APPEARED TO BE A PUNCTURE. ON 12/1/16, 2ND TIRE WENT FLAT AS I WAS TRAVELING ON I71 FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A PUNCTURE. THE SIDEWALL IS BULGING AND IT APPEARS THE BELTING IS DEFECTIVE (THIN AND FLIMSY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. BOTH PUNCTURED WERE FROM A ROCK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEFLECTED WITH NORMAL BELTING. TIRES WERE MADE IN JAPAN. THE TIRES HAVE LESS THAN 10,000 MILES.

TACATA RECALL. NO CONTACT FROM HONDA RE RECALL. SO WE JUST KEEP DRIVING UNTIL THE BAG KILLS US? HONDA RECALL NO. JY1.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL - I CALLED BELL HONDA IN PHOENIX, AZ A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS TO REPLACE MINE WITH AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY GOT THEM. I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM THEM WHEREAS MY SONS MITSUBISHI HAS HAD TWO NOTIFICATIONS TO BRING THE CAR IN. WHAT'S HONDA DOING AND WHY ISN'T THIS RESOVED YET? PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2016) THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG COULD IF INFLATED RUPTURE AND KILL THE DRIVER. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIRS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THE SUMMER. HAVING HEARD NOTHING ELSE, I CONTACTED HONDA ON 9/23/16 TO INQUIRE FURTHER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. TODAY, 10/28/16 I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FURTHER INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THE REPAIR PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE, AND REPAIRS AFFECTED. NO OTHER EFFORT ON BEHALF OF HONDA HAS BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS CONCERNS AS TO OUR SAFETY, AS WE ARE STILL AT RISK IN USING THIS VEHICLE AND NO OTHER OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO US. *TR

TAKATA RECALL- IN MARCH 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED HONDA AT THEIR TOO-FREE NUMBER AND WAS DIRECTED TO MY LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF CAMPAIGN, IN SAVOY IL. AS OF TODAY I HAVE AS YET TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG REPLACED, YET I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA AT LEAST THREE TIMES OVER THE INTERVENING MONTHS (SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR WHEN HONDA SAID "I WOULD BE INFORMED BY MAIL WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE"). INTERESTINGLY THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE THEY HAD TWO 2013 FIT MODELS FOR SALE ON THE USED CAR LOT. I ASKED THE SALESMAN "IF THE CARS' AIRBAGS HAD BEEN REPAIRED", AND HE SAID "YES". I THINK THE DEALERSHIP NOR HONDA ARE FOLLOWING THE RECALL PROGRAM.

BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE REPLACEMENT BAG WILL ARRIVE AND HONDA MOTORS SAYS THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE DEALER. EACH IS POINTING A FINGER AT THE OTHER ONE FOR THE REASON THE PART HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED FOR THE DEALER TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT. JUST WANT TO GET IT REPLACED SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. NEED HELP IN GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AM I EXPECTED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL HONDA AND THE DEALER FINALLY FULFILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY?

TAKATA RECALL RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO WHILE HONDA IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEIR NEXT STEP?

TAKATA RECALL: ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WE'VE SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE PARTS REPLACED. BOTH TIMES HONDA CALLED US TO CANCEL STATING THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE BACK IN MARCH.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL IN MARCH. IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND THE PART TO FIX MY CAR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN WELL PAST 60 DAYS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED MY DEALER.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS RECALL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SPURIOUS WITH AN INEPT CORPORATION RUNNING IT. I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION IN MARCH 2016 REGARDING MY 2013 HONDA FIT SPORT DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG. I AM STILL WAITING THE FOR PART TO ARRIVED AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO HONDA AUTOMOTIVE. I WAS TOLD HONDA AUTOMOTIVE WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE TO DRIVE DURING THE OVER SIX MONTH PART DELAY (THE LETTER STATED THE PAST SUMMER THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE). I DO NOT HAVE THE PLACE OR INCLINATION TO LET THE NITROGEN OUT OF MY TIRES, EMPTY THE FLUID OUT OF THE CAR, AND PUT THE VEHICLE UP ON BLOCKS IN A GARAGE FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. WHEN I SPEAK WITH A DEALER OR THE CORPORATE OFFICE THE STAFF IS VERY CAVALIER REGARDING MY WELL-BEING. I DO NOT APPRECIATE SOMEONE DECIDING TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE ESPECIALLY INDIVIDUALS WHO ACT LIKE UNFEELING AND INCOMPETENT ROBOTS. OBVIOUSLY, MY FAMILY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND I HOPE TO WIN THE CRUEL GAME I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO BY HONDA AUTOMOTIVE. I WILL SAY I HAVE OWNED FOUR HONDA CARS INCLUDING THIS ONE. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER FOR SELF-EXPLANATORY REASONS. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DEVALORIZE A HUMAN BEING (CUSTOMER) FOR PROFITS; HOWEVER, THIS ACT HAPPENS DAILY. - MAUIGIRL300, ALCOA, TN, USA

DEAR NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, THE ACCOUNT HOLDERS BELIEVE THAT AMERICAN HONDA HAS FAILED AND IS UNABLE TO REMEDY A DEFECT IN OUR 2013 HONDA FIT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME - WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE WE FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE ACCOUNT HOLDERS HAVE MADE SEVERAL GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS IN PERSON AND VIA TELEPHONE ON FEBRUARY, 26TH 2016 (FIRST ATTEMPT DOCUMENT ATTACHED); MARCH 10TH, 2016, MAY 20TH, 2016, SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2016, AND SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2016 TO HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS REPAIRED FOR OUR 2013 HONDA FIT LEASE. CURRENTLY, HONDA HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE, SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS. WE FEEL THAT OUR SAFETY HAS BEEN NEGLECTED BY HONDA AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN REMEDYING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

TAKATA-DEALER NOTIFIED ME OF RECALL-HAD ME SIGN A WAIVER THAT I DRIVE UNDER MY OWN PERIL. THREE MONTHS HAVE PASSED, DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. DEALER TRIED TO HAVE ME TRADE IT FOR 9K, I HAVE A PRIVATE BUYER READY TO PAY 12,500 BUT CANNOT SELL IT DUE TO THE RECALL. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH 2016 THAT THIS DEFECT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL OR HURT ME AND MY PASSENGERS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND TOLD THE PART WOULD BE IN SOON. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE LETTER, AND SAT ON HOLD FROM MORE THAN 15 MINUTES WAITING FOR AN ANSWER ABOUT MY PART, STATING AGAIN MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND CALLED HONDA NATIONAL AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS SUCH A MASSIVE RECALL, GETTING THE PARTS IS SLOW. SO IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD I COULD GET AN ALTERNATIVE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM. BETTER, BUT STILL NOT COMFORTING TO KNOW MY CAR IS NOT ONLY DEFECTIVE, BUT GETTING A RESOLUTION IS PROVING TO BE PROBLEMATIC AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1. WHY DOES IT TAKE THIS LONG? THAT SEEMS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN POTENTIAL DEATH IS INVOLVED. 2. WHY DIDN'T MY DEALERSHIP OFFER A CAR EARLIER FOR MY SAFETY? 3. WHY AM I ON HOLD FOR 15 MINUTES WITH A DEALERSHIP INQUIRING ABOUT MY PART WITH NO ANSWER? IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS DIFFICULT. 4. MY CAR WAS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WHY COULDN'T I HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A NEW CAR TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE ONE SINCE IT'S SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN? THIS SITUATION REALLY MAKES MY CAR A LEMON!

IN MARCH 2016 HONDA PROMISED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SUMMER 2016 AND HONDA WOULD NOTIFY ME. IT IS NOW ALMOST OCTOBER 2016 AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA IN MARCH, 2016 STATING THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS 'WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016' AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LETTER FROM HONDA. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER. SINCE I LIVE NEAR THE COAST I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HIGHER HUMIDITY CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE INFLATOR. IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS WITHOUT RESOLUTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

MY 2013 HONDA FIT CAUGHT FIRE ON 14JUN2016. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE REMAINS UNKNOWN, BUT IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS HAVING TO DO WITH FIRES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE NJ TURNPIKE, AND WHILE I WAS IN THE CAR, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE BEGAN SMOKING, THERE WAS A FIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL AS ON THE FLOOR IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE BETWEEN THE DRIVER/PASSENGER SEATS AND THE BACK SEATS. I SUFFERED SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE BURNS ON MY HANDS AND ARMS AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT, WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, HAD SEVERAL FOLLOW UPS WITH THE BURN SURGEON AND ALSO HAD TO START THERAPY FOR POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS INCIDENT IS HIGHLY NECESSARY.

2013 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS OR REMEDY STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR VEHICLE DEFECT. *SMD

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH OF 2016 SAYING THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE. IT SAYS THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016." AT THAT TIME I WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE SUMMER IS QUICKLY WANING TO A CLOSE SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PERSON (JL FREED IN MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE STILL MONTHS BEHIND, THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR CARS THERE FOR 3 MONTHS. I DO NOT SEE THIS AS AN ACCEPTABLE SITUATION AND THINK HONDA SHOULD TAKE THIS CAR BACK NOW WITHOUT PENALTY. THEY CLEARLY CANNOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT HONDA IS NOT LIVING UP TO ITS PROMISE. I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AN INCIDENT HAPPENS TO GET A SAFE CAR, NOR DO I WANT TO BE SENDING PHOTOS AS A WIDOWER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
