2007 Honda Fit Other or unknown Problems

“I was taking a ride through the mountains and had parked and when I tried to start the car the ignition switch wouldn't turn like it was locked, I was by my self, and it started raining and my window was down , I couldn't get ahold of anyone who could come help me so I had to figure out how to start the car a different way which I had to use whatever I had handy ,,well it took a whole day and more for me to finally get it started, when I did I start smelling burning , I was freaking out , when I noticed it was coming from my window switch, I started trying to get the fire to stop and I shut…”

“In december after a heavy rain, the drive side door lock became inoperable - the key could not be inserted. I took it to my Honda dealer who charged me $220 to re-key the lock. On january 18, 2011 we had another heavy rain and the same thing occurred. I will be taking it back to the Honda dealer to have it repaired. I will demand that this repair be free of charge. I am concerned that there is a design flaw in the locks that lets water into the lock and ruins it during a heavy rain.”

“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.”

“The problem I have is: There is 3 recalls for my vehicle. One is the urgent as Takata airbags installed. I called local Honda dealer on 6/27/25, they order the part and I received the email stating that part arrived. I called dealer today to schedule a replacement. When I ask how long it will take, lady say about 1/2 day. When I ask if Honda will give me car to drive in that time, she stated No., but I can rent a vehicle for $75. Dealers name: Gary Smith Honda, 225 Miracle Strip SW, Fl., 32548. Is it safe to drive this car?”

“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. …”
