“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.”

NHTSA complaint #10679066, filed 2015-01, 50,840 miles“The carpeting is falling apart after just over 5,000 miles near the driver's feet.

I believe a foot could get caught up in this carpeting shreds.”
NHTSA complaint #10405498, filed 2011-06, 5,500 miles“My issue is with the quickly degrading paint job on my vehicle. I have done nothing different from any other car I have owned, and I am parked in an apartment complex parking lot where all of my neighbors cars are not having any issues. The only car in the parking lot with paint degradation comparable to my car is a blue 1999 Honda civic, but it looks much better than my '10 FIT. Just to reiterate, we are parked in the same parking lot with the same amount of sun and elemental exposure. After looking to see if my VIN was listed under current Honda campaigns, I have found that it is not listed. …”
