2009 Honda Fit Exterior lighting Problems

“The car dashboard lights/radio lost all power for 2-3 seconds and then the eps light on the dashboard lit up. The car lost power steering and was extremely hard to steer during this time. Steering wheel locked while driving and could not turn it for the 2-3 seconds that the car systems were 'offline.' the next day, the car did the same thing and I lost power steering while driving at various speeds in various weathers throughout the day on both the highway and back roads. Utterly terrifying. Towed it to the Honda dealership. …”

“Blinker on the right side became inoperative and inside indicator blinked quickly. Upon investigation discovered the blinker bulb was good but the headlight was very dim and almost out.

It appears that Honda may have bad ground terminals or other connection problem on their safety lighting system. Called Honda dealer and then Honda american. …”

“The contact owns a 2009 Honda FIT. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked and when the contact engaged the low beam headlight, they would not illuminate. The contact played around wit the headlight switch for several moments before they finally illuminated. In addition, when the left turn signal or the high beams were utilized, the low beam headlights would fail. The failure would occur intermittently. The vehicle was neither repaired nor diagnosed for the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 38,500.”
