“2008 Honda FIT base model: floor of back seat and the cargo area behind back seat is wet, and is now growing mold. I have no idea how so much moisture/water is getting into the carpet. I am also concerned that the floors will rust as well. Seriously, Honda step up and issue a recall and fix this issue!! I will be filing a complaint with the ag's office!”

NHTSA complaint #10726701, filed 2015-06, 105,322 miles

“My Honda FIT repeatedly stalls from cold engine starts. This has been happening regularly and randomly for the last several months. It will stall both when at a stop (such as at a stop light or sign) and at slow speed, such as when pulling out of a drive or backing up. This stops happening once the engine warms up. I have taken the vehicle to two mechanics, neither of whom has been able to find the problem. …”

NHTSA complaint #10452605, filed 2012-03, 60,000 miles

“When I bought this car I took it on a road test. The TPMS light was on. We returned to the dealer and had them check the tire pressure. After I bought the car the light came on as it wished. One time the car was parked for several hours. I left the parking lot and drove a few miles when I heard a strange zinging sound and felt a wiggling feeling in the seat of my pants. I changed lanes to make sure it was not the pavement, it was not. I pulled over to the shoulder of the road and just as I slowed down I saw the yellow TPMS light come on. I got out of the car and checked my tires. …”

NHTSA complaint #10749535, filed 2015-08, 2,000 miles

“Bought used 2008 FIT in jan/2014. Noted water in driver and rear passenger floors/carpet and doors following rain storm. Took wet car to sheehy ford in mechanicsville (where I purchased it) within the used warranty. Was told they could not find cause . Nothing done. Since then and to date (10/30/2015), water continues to accumulate in these areas following rainfall. Musty/mold odor - where is the recall on this issue?”

NHTSA complaint #10787237, filed 2015-10, 65,250 miles

“Rain water is leaking into the interior of the car from multiple entry points. One identified entry point are cracks in the bonding material between the roof and rear upper side panels that allows water into the spare tire well and rear floorboards. Additional water is accumulating in the front passenger footwell from an undetermined location behind the glove box/dash. This has resulted in mildew and mold growth in the interior carpeting, matting and foam. This is a health risk especially to young children and adults with respiratory conditions.”
