“Vehicle parked during rain event, noted heavy leakage into spare tire well and passenger side rear floorboards. It appears to be coming from multiple sources. Windows heavily fogged/iced up from moisture in cabin. This happened twice this month. Secured dealer appointment, but when I arrived I was told that I have to bring it in when their leak specialist is at the shop (why does Honda have a regularly-scheduled leak specialist??). I was also told that I have to pay for diagnosis and repair since the vehicle is out of warranty. I have never had a car that leaked water. …”
NHTSA complaint #10557939, filed 2013-12, 120,000 miles“Water in spare tire well. Originally thought water in the tire well was due to hatch opening during rain/snow, but since vehicle was not used for a week during heavy rain, this must be due to a leaking window seal.”
NHTSA complaint #10510729, filed 2013-05, 46,000 miles“Have had two blowouts on the same wheel (rear passenger) with different tire brands in less than three years of owning the car (blowouts were 16 months apart, maybe 8k miles). The Honda FIT is not capable of driving on highways! I was traveling at 75 MPH, the tire pressure light came on the dash, my car and steering wheel began to vibrate/jerk, car fishtailed, and I was thrown perpendicular into traffic! I was lucky to not be hit by other drivers on the highway as they were able to stop (second time, there were no other cars behind me). This happened twice! These wheels are not safe! …”
