| This car is leaking horrendously. i have to vaccuum the flooring of this car several times a week to prevent mold from growing on the walls, flooring and seats of the vehicle. no after market work has been done and we have now had to remove all carpet and padding to prevent further mold infestation. this is an all too common and dangerous complaint for this vehicle (and this year specifically for this model). honda refuses to address the issue and it is endangering the health of everyone who rides in my car on a daily basis. please help - this has devalued my 5 year old car and made it a complete lemon! | |||

| I own a 2007 honda fit sport that was in a high speed crash. reading the complaint # 10228324 i can relate to this issue. i was hit on the very front left side at about 55 mph and then pushed off the road to the right. the right front of the car hit a dirt burm around 30 mph. the air bags didn't deploy but the air bag light stayed on until it was reset. the body shop advised me that the impact cut the wiring harness to the air bags and sensor's had been cut in half and the sensors were cracked. it sounds like the left side of this model fit has many flaws and i am lucky that i was seriously injured. the only answer i can get on this issue is that the impact wasn't in the red zone for the air bags to deploy. i'm sorry but if they don't deploy during a front end impact why would i ever think they would have ever deployed with the wires cut in half. the red zone isn't the issue. the car is a death trap on wheels. so much for the safety ratings because it seems like this car has an air bag issue. the recall because of salt, b.s. because i live in texas and have 2 of these cars that the passenger sensor is still shorting out even after they replaced it. texas isn't one of the states that is in the multi salt states that the recall covers. i think someone need to take a long hard look at the issue before some does loose there life. enough said...... my foot also falls asleep and hurts like you could never imagine after i drive only 25 miles. complaint # 10221630 -- i feel your pain..... i have 2 of these cars and each one puts my foot to sleep no matter how i move the seat. ---- *tr | |||

| Tl*the contact owns a 2007 honda fit. while buckling his grandchild into the back seat, the contact realized that the seat bench in the rear was raised. he believes this is a safety defect because if the vehicle were rear-ended, the seat would jump and cause the booster seat and child to be uprooted. he took the vehicle to the dealer and they compared it to three other new models, which were manufactured in the same manner. the dealer was unable to diagnose the cause of failure. the vin, engine size, and number of cylinders were unknown. the current and failure mileages were 11,000. | |||
