2016 HONDA FIT Complaints

THE GASKET ON THE FRONT DOORS CAME LOOSE RANDOMLY WHICH RESULTED IN RAIN AND WIND TO ENTER THE CAR. I HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH THE GASKET BACK IN EVERY NOW AND THEN BECAUSE THEY DO NOT STAY IN PLACE.

LOUD RATTLING COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE DASH WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STOP WHEN IT IS HOT OUT, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THAT THE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING THE DASH PANEL MAY BE LOOSE OR ILL-FITTED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL DASH PANEL DUE TO A MISALIGNMENT OF THE PIECE (BIG GAP BETWEEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS AND LEFT FRONT PANEL). THE NEW DASH PANEL STILL RATTLES. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THEY "CANNOT" DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID "IT HAPPENS IN SOME CARS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL".

IN PROCESS OF PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF A BUSINESS, I APPLIED MY FOOT BRAKE AFTER WHICH MY VEHICLE FULLY ACCELERATED, JUMPING (AN APPROXIMATELY 12") SIDEWALK INTO A PLATE GLASS WINDOW. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY GAS PETEL ACCELERATED DRIVING MY CAR SO FAST OVER A CURB AND INTO A STONE WALL. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT REPORTED TO HONDA AMERICAN, BUT THE SAME MALFUNCTION OF GAS PETAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED. REPORTED TO MY INSURANCE AND HONDA AMERICAN. MY CAR NOW IF I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT STARTS DRIVING ON ITS OWN. ALSO IN REVERSE IT STARTS DRIVING ON ITS OWN. I DON'T HAVE TO STEP ON THE. GAS PETAL IT MOVES ON ITS OWN. I AM AWAITING FOR HONDA AMERICA TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO MY HONDA DEALER WITH ME TO INSPECT. I AM ASKING HONDA AMERICAN TO PAY REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE. $1,082.00. HONDA IS WILLING TO TOW MY CAR, BUT CAN'T PROMISE ME A VEHICLE WHILE BEING REPAIRED. HONDA AMERICA SENT SOMEONE TO TOW MY CAR, WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO ME. I CANCELED THE TOW, FOR I HAD FRACTURED MY ELBOW AND NEEDED TO SPEAK WITH HONDA AMERICA. I AM WAITING FOR A RETURN PHONE CALL TO SO WE MAY GET MY CAR INSPECTED BY A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE. I WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED, FOR IT WAS A MALFUNCTION OF THE GAS PETAL. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA FIT. WHILE IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED AN INJURED NECK AND BACK, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. KELLY HONDA (540 LYNNWAY, LYNN, MA) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *BF *TR

I NEED A NEW STARTER. I BOUGHT MY 2016 HONDA FIT USED 5 MONTHS AGO. IT NOW HAS 43,900 MILES. A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH THIS MILEAGE SHOULD NOT NEED TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED. I TRIED 2-3 TIMES TO START MY CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START. NO CLICKING NOISE, NO NOISE AT ALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND WHEN JUMPED IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. SEVERAL MORE TIMES IT WOULDN'T START THE FIRST TIME BUT THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME TRYING IT TURNED OVER AND STARTED. MY NEIGHBOR TOLD ME IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES AND AFTER TRYING 3-4 TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHEN TESTED HE SAID IT WAS THE STARTER AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW ONE. IT WILL COST $500.00 FOR THE NEW PART PLUS LABOR. WELL OVER $700.00 DOLLARS. THANK GOODNESS I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE TO PAY $44.00 BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY ALLOWS "AT COST" FOR PARTS. ANOTHER THING, AFTER GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH OR AFTER A RAIN STORM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANELS ARE FULL OF WATER BUT LUCKILY THE WATER DOESN'T ENTER THE CAR AS I'VE READ ON OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL HONDA. ONE MORE THING WHILE I'M COMPLAINING...A LOT OF HIGHWAY ROAD NOISE. FOR THE PRICE HONDA COULD AND SHOULD BE MAKING A MUCH BETTER VEHICLE. ON THE PLUS SIDE, IT IS EASY TO DRIVE, MANEUVER AND PARK.

PERTAINING TO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF A TPMS SENSOR IS REMOVED FROM THE CAR, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ALERT THE DRIVER VIA A WARNING LIGHT. MY 2016 HONDA FIT HAD ALL FOUR TIRES AND RIMS REPLACED THAT DIDN'T HAVE TPMS SENSORS INSTALLED AND NO INDICATOR HAS ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. (IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE THE SENSORS WERE REMOVED)

DRIVER DOOR AND LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR BOTH LET RAIN IN RESULTING IN PUDDLING ON FLOORS. DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TWICE, BOTH UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REPAIR SEALS INSIDE DOOR PANEL THAT PREVENTS LEAKAGE INTO INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. INTERIOR RUGS ARE SOAKED AND HARD TO DRY SINCE AIR CAN NOT BREATH UNDERNEATH. LEADS TO MOLD AND MILDEW WITHIN VEHICLE. INTERIOR WINDOWS FOG UP AS MOISTURE IS TRAPPED WITHIN BODY OF VEHICLE. BEGAN ON 7/27/18 AND CONTINUES TODAY 10/7/18.

ON 9/20/2018 AROUND 5:15 PM IN WEST VALLEY CITY, UT WHILE DRIVING DOWN A FAIRLY EMPTY HIGHWAY (MOUNTAIN VIEW CORRIDOR AND 54TH S. )THE SUNROOF/MOONROOF GLASS OF MY 2016 HONDA FIT SHATTERED. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS AND NO IMPACT. THERE IS NO APPARENT IMPACT FRACTURE.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHERE I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED, BUT MY AIRBAGS "FAILED TO DEPLOY", THEREFORE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE FAULTY AND THIS WAS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE, PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN YOUR LIST OF "RECALLS" AND WHY NOT IF THIS OCCURRED TO ME???
