2008 Honda Fit Exterior lighting Problems

“Takata recall : my 2008 Honda FIT was traveling at 15 MPH and went into a police k-9 unit 'elvis'. The air bag virulently exploded on my jaw and caused my teeth to bit my tongue. The policeman mistook the injury for a seizure and I lost my license indefinitely. I was take to the hospital against my will and given 10,000 dollars in services I didn't want or need due to the air bag. Honda and takata and NHTSA need to come clean and protect the public from this dangerous defect.”

“Low beam lights due not function.lots of similar complaints on the computer.called the Honda garage where I purchased the car and they said they would charge me to look at it and troubleshoot the problem.”

“Combination headlight switch was faulty. While low beams are on, toggling the right turn signal activates the high beam. I brought the car to the dealer and performed the headlight switch recall hoping it would get fixed but the recall only addressed the wiring harness. The problem persisted after the recall. I googled it and it is a common problem. Told the dealer about what I found online and was charging me extra for diagnostics and replacing the part. They told me the recall did not include replacing combination switch itself. …”

“At 5am while headed to work, I noticed the headlights were not on, despite the switch being in the on position. There was a recall previously for the exact same issue. It appears the fix was only temporary, as the exact same issue has popped up again. Low-beams do not work, but hi-beams and foglights work.”

“Both low beam headlights and driving/fog lights stopped working. Problem was intermittent. Hi-beams continued to work. Eventually replaced light bulb and problem went away for several weeks. Problem has recurred, again with both low beam and fog lights not working occasionally. Now suspect a switch problem.”
