Takata recall: I contacted berkeley Honda to get this recall fixed. A sales person contacted me to try to sell me a new car but the service department never returned the call. I called them back and they supposedly ordered the part but never advised me if the part was available. Further calls not returned. Contacted oakland Honda who said they had the parts but refused to make an appointment - said it's first come, first served. I'm an elderly woman and not well. I cannot be expected to show up and either wait and wait or find out that there is no part available when I get there. I called san leandro Honda - left messages but they never return the call. Please have someone take care of this! It's not good service at all and not realistic to have me never have a passenger while I

My original equipment bridgestone turanza el-470 tire developed a blister in the sidewall after only 16,803 miles. Fortunately the blister was spotted during a meal break in temple, texas. We were returning home to san antonio from dallas on december 26, 2010. Because of the holiday, the late hour and the unavailability of a replacement we were forced to pay for a hotel room in temple for the night. Had we not spotted the blister, the tire would have likely blown out while we traveled in heavy holiday traffic on ih35, endangering our life and health as well as those around us. The local Honda dealership parts manager explained that Honda eschews any responsibility for the tires which they sell with their automobiles. These tires are clearly defective. There have been n

Hi, I would like to report a sudden acceleration problem with my 2009 Honda fit sport model. The incidence happened while I was traveling between 5 to 10 miles per hour. I was trying to park the car. I let the car slowly rolled forward into the empty parking spot ahead. Because I was traveling at pretty low speed, so I only gently applied the brake pedal as I was getting closer to the empty parking spot. As I slowly pressed on the brake, the car just suddenly accelerated. The car shot ahead. I quickly released my foot on the brake pedal and applied the hand brake. After the car came to a complete stop, it actually rolled over on the side walk. Luckily, no one was on the sidewalk and no damage or injury occurred. I have been driving the Honda fit for 1.5 year and this is the only time

I went to my car on a cold morning and found a crack which was not there when I parked the car the night before. It was a linear crack about 6 inches long extending straight from the middle bottom of the front windshield. No evidence of anything striking the windshield or car. No debris. No obvious chip. I drove to dealer the next and they tried to tell me there was a "chip", which was smaller than a pinhead which they felt indicated that it was an impact fracture. When pressed on why it wasn't a thermal or stress fracture, the service manager even once said "yes, it's a thermal fracture, but it was caused by an impact. The area where the "chip" was above the original extent of the original crack and was in a region of spread which developed later, after driving the car to the deal

All 4 doors leaking water badly. Carpets molding.

Front seat passenger seatbelt locks and fails to release. This problem began shortly after we purchased our Honda fit. It has occurred almost weekly. We have taken it into hondas service dept on several occasions but they have never found any problem. We have owned other fits without ever experiencing this issue. *tr

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. High beam would only come on slightly. The other side of the car was fine. Checked online and, as suspected, there was some repair notices about the corrosion on the ground connector due to poor plating which caused the problem. 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. They indicated this was not a warranty problem so would not cover it. I believe this kind of problem will result in many cars having partial headlights and is a safety related failure in a critical system and should be covered

Multiple door lock actuators have failed--numerous times. The door locks either don't work to unlock or to lock or they make a whirring noise, after which they may open. At 78,119 miles on the car, I replaced both the left rear door lock actuator and the rear hatch lock actuator. At 120,000, the right front door, the left rear (again), and the rear hatch lock (again) have all failed! Shop wants $359 each! To repair. Honda customer care provided no assistance other than to say no recalls have been issued.

The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 56,000.
