Takata recall. I received the recall notice for my 2013 Honda fit in march, 2016. It is now december of 2016 and my dealer has no idea when a new airbag will be available. I think 9 months of driving this car with this airbag is too long to wait for a replacement. Don't know what else I can do about it except to send this note to you. *tr

My 2013 Honda fit has only 76,000 on it. While driving the radio shut off, head lights dimmed, dash board lights flickered and I lost power steering. Took it to the Honda service station in jasper alabama and they could not find the problem. The engine light and steering wheel with exclamation point showed up on the dash board. Car looses power steering while driving for a few seconds and then comes back on. This is very dangerous. With a vehicle with less than 80,000 miles on it this should be recalled as I am not the only one on this forum to have a complaint about this exact issue.

When driving my Honda, the car intermittently loses electrical power for about a second. When this happens the power steering is disabled. I fear losing control especially when making turns. The steering will lock up. This happens literally daily at this point. Doesn't matter if I am on the freeway or city street.

The power steering goes out while driving randomly and has been happening every drive for at least a year and 6 months. It passes car inspections because the situation is restarted when you turn the car off and turn it on. There is no indication when it will go out and it’s not correlated with another condition. It seems to be totally random. If I turn the car off and restart it, it works again. It could be for another half mile, 30 miles or 1 mile, then it will go out again. When I take it to a garage and get diagnostic testing it comes up with nothing being wrong because it resets when the car is started. It’s extremely frustrating and dangerous because I’ll be driving and without warning power steering shuts down. I have been reading online that Honda has a recall on its electric power

Last evening the interior vehicle power (headlights, dash lights, AC/heat fan) intermittently flashed off then back on while driving...when this happened as I arrived home, I completely lost power steering (electronic power steering warning light came on) and could barely turn the steering wheel. Thankfully I was moving at relatively slow speed when I lost power steering, but this could certainly be a life hazard at higher speeds.

Due to a friend having an issue with their same year/model car, my mom being overly cautious, thankfully brought hers in to be checked. They found the car had premature loose plugs and damaged coils. Required replacement of 4 plugs and 2 coils. This happened at only 48,077 miles. If she had not brought it in when she did, this could have been a serious and dangerous problem like her friend who was on the highway when their engine went due to the same issue with loose plugs. Apparently this appears to be a factory defect in this model. They charged her $105 and covered the rest under a "goodwill" warranty because she refused to pay for the damage.

I loaned my car to a relative for three days and when it was returned I detected a fuel smell in cabin when outside air was selected. On the heated. I am a retired aircraft mechanic and know my way around engines. I did an internet search and found a Honda tech line summary article ats 160714 version 2 ( loose and blown out spark plugs due to failed factory torque). Number two plug had a vibration and was loose, causing the fuel blow by. The spark plug could not have blown out due to the coil holding it in place and engine performance was fine with no codes.the car has 38,000 miles. This undetected failure would cause the passengers to breath gas fumes for an extended period of time. The dealer claims no knowledge of this tech summary. Vehicle safety has made great advancements in my l

ECU detected a cylinder #2 misfire, check engine light started blinking while idling. prior, noticed a little bit of misfiring while driving at 60 mph, faint but noticeable. well aware of the plaqued inner cylinder's spark plugs coming loose on these make and models and honda's failed torque spec being changed from for the spark plug being in the cylinder. know this because of forums online. the plugs were torque spec to 20 ft-lbs. checked the #2 cylinder and spark plug was loose/out of the threads. also top piece of spark plug broke off and fell into cylinder. threads completely taken off the cylinder. having a honda dealer taking a look to assess damage. car mileage is 109,500. completely unacceptable and don't really feel confident in driving this vehicle safely anymore. car still has a

Soy coating is a rodent gourmet buffet!! First issue was june of 2015, rodents had chewed through the fuel pump and gasoline was leaking out. My 80 year old mother smelled gasoline when her car was parked in the driveway. There was a large nest found as well when Honda inspected the car. A few months later, october 2015, nest and mice droppings were found in pollen filter/glove box area. She brought it back and upon the dealer recommendation, Honda wrapped all of the fuel/vapor/electical wires in rodent tape (which they happily supply). This is when she was told by customer support that it was a common complaint/issue due to the soy and we started researching and found out about the soy coating and industry wide problems. Total cost to my mother $1373.00 for the fuel pump repairs an

July 2016 bought goodyear assurance tires to replace the worn tires. I replaced 1 tire in september for what appeared to be a puncture. On 12/1/16, 2nd tire went flat as I was traveling on i71 for what I thought was a puncture. The sidewall is bulging and it appears the belting is defective (thin and flimsy and cannot be repaired. Both punctured were from a rock that should have been deflected with normal belting. Tires were made in japan. The tires have less than 10,000 miles.

We installed from firestone in biloxi 4 new bridgestone ecopia ep422 plus bl 175/65r15 DOT# v6twec 84h 70,000 mile limited warranty tires on our 2013 Honda fit november 30th 2016 at 38,715 miles. In december 27th 2019 with 70, 830 mileage, we took it to the firestone dealer in gulfport as the TPMS light was on and learned that the left front was low 10 pounds. The next morning the light was on again so back to the dealer to learn that the inside facing of the tire, near and parallel to the rim, had a 4" long rotted section that you could almost put your fingers through. We were advised that a new tire was in order. In further inspection of this tire after it was off the rim, one could see the numerous cracks that had developed about an inch away from the rim. Now we are wondering if the re

Drivers side cv shaft sheared underneath vibration dampener. I was trying to take off from a stop at an intersection and the shaft broke. I was attempting to make a right hand turn onto a rural state route. This could have been quite bad if anyone was coming. After pushing the car to the side of the road it wouldn't stay put in park almost leading to it rolling into another vehicle while I was halfway out of the vehicle. The break also happened inside the vibration dampener so if there were any clues of this part starting to fail they were hidden and would have been almost impossible for a mechanic to spot.
