“Paint is chalking and cracking off my hood and roof. Started noticing in march 2017. Asked Honda service center about it and after sending me to a paint specialist to get it looked at/paint job estimate and being told it looked exactly like the paint issues Honda civics are experiencing, Honda service center manager told me it was 'normal wear and tear' and they would not help me.”

“Since purchase 2010 I have noted a suspicion of vehicle's electrical system. I have spoken numerous times of this suspicion and issues of concern to friends and family and with dealership. Dealership told me they are unable to check the electronic system.. My suspicion began within a year of purchase ,with automatic door locks making unusual sound as if not enough juice to lock or open automatically to more concern of driving with a drag sense and feeling like going to stall at traffic lights approximately 2015? Complaint form asks for exact mileage and year began. …”

“Takata recall my Honda 2010 FIT is metallic blue and the paint is fading. The entire roof is white. Large white spots on the hood and now fading marks on the side of the car. It is only 5 years old and in excellent shape. A 5 year old car and it looks 15 years old. The Honda dealership has not agreed at this time to pay for a full repaint job. They have agreed to pay 70% of the total billfor the roof and hood of the car. My concern is that they will repaint the roof and hood and not the back and sides and then they will fade. I also will need to rent a car while they are repairing the paint. …”

“2010 Honda FIT base while idling or in park I push the driver side power door lock master switchforward to on position. Intermittently there is a a high pitch screeching sound. Dealer stated the whole switch needs to be replaced and that it is electrical switch issue with intermittent short. This will be done under warranty. An online search shows that Honda corp in tokyo (september 2011) has issued a recall of 963,000 Honda FIT and cr-v worldwide (including u.s.) for this same problem. However the dealer said my VIN is not under recall...hmmm?”
