2012 Honda fit sdr hb sport wants to know does vehicle have takata air bags *cn

2012 Honda fit. Consumer writes in regards to no remedy available to repair airbag recall notice. *smd

No incident or accident. Just a request concerning the takata airbag recalls. The takata airbags are being replaced with another potentially defective takata airbag. Takata is uncertain as to the cause of the airbag explosions. They are still in the process of trying to understand the exact cause and there is no certainty that the problem has been fixed. I would like to ask the NHTSA to allow all vehicles with the takata airbags to deactivate the airbags until the exact cause is known and rectified. This could take years. But I would much rather drive with a deactivated airbag than a potentially explosive device that could kill me. It is my understanding there are no other airbags that are designed to fit Honda cars. It is either another potentially defective takata airbag, or de

Takata recall- went to dealership to get my air bag replace, which they did't have needed to be order and waited 6 weeks. On october the 09, 2016 I was on a vehicle accident driving 25 miles and hour the right side tire hit and embankment and damaged my car for a total loss. The deployment of the airbag hit my chest with such force that my sternum was fracture and bruise through out my chest. I have being having severe pain for the past three weeks. The road is and uphill curve which the speed limit is 25 miles and is two lane road the vehicle behind me had lights on which I believe also were a factor because the lights reflected on the rearview mirror and was to close. Will summit a chp report when necessary.

Takata recall - I am frustrated because I was notified in early march that this product is defective, and 6 months later, there is still not any parts available.I am fearful every day I drive this car. What is being done to get us replacement parts? This is much too long.

While coming to a stop on a hill on a 4 lane highway, there was a sudden loud noise and the car started to roll backward.

When accelerating from a stop, I heard a loud bang followed by a buzzing/grinding sound. The engine was still running but the car would not move forward or in reverse. The car was towed to my mechanic who told me the axel had snapped at the location of a vibration damper.

The left front axle shaft broke in june 2018, with 89,032 odometer miles, and the right axle shaft broke december 3, 2019 with 105,436 miles. In the most recent instance I was stopped on a hill, with a car behind me, and when I tried to accelerate the axle broke and my car started rolling backwards. I applied the brakes quickly enough to avoid hitting the car behind me. In the first instance my wife was driving the car miles from home where she was stranded until a tow truck could be called. My mechanic says he is seeing this with some frequency on Honda fits, and it seems to be the result of rust where Honda installs a rubber vibration damper at the axle. The potential for a serious incident is obvious if the car were to lose propulsion on a busy highway at high speed, or where the car su

The passenger side axle snapped in two inside the rubber damper weight at its center. As Honda forums on the internet show, this is becoming more common as fits age. The damper is held in place by only one stainless steel clamp ( at its lower end). Since water and salt can enter its upper end , without a clamp there, it stays in the space between the axle and damper and the corrosion begins. Even aftermarket manufacturers have diagnosed the problem and left the damper off their axles. When this break happened the vehicle was starting off from a stop and turning right on a city street.

Driveshaft fractured and the car wouldn't move please refer to NHTSA recall 14v-258 for similar or same details.

I having intermittent loss of power steering. So far it has happened mostly with low speed turns. I will have to use more effort to complete the turn when this happens. I had the power steering light come on while driving straight ahead once for a few seconds. 60,000 miles on car so far with no problems in the past and no accidents.

Http://forums.edmunds.com/discussion/comment/3559372 my car would not start today and eps light displays. Upon research, it appears that 2007-2010 models have no recall but link above deals with someone with a brand new 2012 fit that had a serious issue when their car was 2 months old. Mine is obviously older now, but note that it has less than 24k miles on the odometer. Please investigate if there are more such issues out there that I do not know of, since loss of power steering can be a big problem. Apparently, the older models were not recalled, but Honda supposedly extended the warranty on that part up to 150k miles. No such accommodation has been made for my 2012, but I find it questionable that the power steering is an issue for me at under 24k miles as it has been for the other

Computer keeps saying to "check fuel cap." even after several complete shut offs and tightening of the fuel cap, the problem continued to happen. It doesn't happen everyday, just sporadically. It also only has happened after parking on a flat surface. *tr
