2007 Honda Fit Structure

SIGNIFICANT WATER LEAK THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS CAUSING ACCUMULATION OF MOLD AND OTHER IRRITANTS. AS AN ASTHMATIC THIS CAR HAS ALMOST BEEN UNDRIVEABLE. I SPEND COUNTLESS HOURS DRYING THE CARPET AND LEAVING THE WINDOWS OPEN TO AIR OUT. HAVE NOT FOUND A FUNGICIDE OR ODORANT TO COVER THE MOLD. JUST AS SOON AS I DRY IT UP, THE NEXT RAIN STORM WILL DRENCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN. *JS

2007 HONDA FIT LEAKS WATER ON DRIVER'S SIDE, FOCUSED ON REAR PASSENGER SEAT, PARTICULARLY IN BACK CORNER NEAR WHEEL WELL. OCCURS MAINLY IN HEAVY RAIN AND HAS RESULTED IN MOLD GROWTH. LOCAL DEALERSHIP (HONDA OF MIDDLETOWN) HAS BLAMED LEAK ON PREVIOUS BODYWORK, IGNORING CUSTOMER'S REFERENCE TO NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE EXACT SAME LEAK ISSUE NATIONWIDE IN CARS WITHOUT BODYWORK. THEY CALL THIS AN "ISOLATED INCIDENT" AND REFUSE TO ADDRESS ISSUE WITHOUT CUSTOMER PAYING OUT SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTIC WORK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOORS WERE RUSTING FROM THE INTERIOR TO THE EXTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE AND STATED THEY BELIEVED THAT THE METAL WAS NOT TREATED PROPERLY WHEN MANUFACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

MY 07 HONDA FIT IS LEAKING WATER. THE CARPET IS WET AND MOLDY, ESPECIALLY UNDER THE REAR SEATS. THIS CAUSES MY WINDOWS TO HAVE CONDENSATION ON THEM AND IMPAIRS MY VIEW THROUGH THE WINDOWS SINCE THEY ARE FOGGY FROM OCTOBER TO MARCH WITH THE COLDER WEATHER.. THE SPARE TIRE AREA HAS WATER SITTING IN IT EVENTHOUGH I TAKE THE PLUG OUT TO DRAIN. THE CAR IS DEVALUED DUE TO THE STINK AND THOSE WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS DON'T WANT TO RIDE IN IT. DUE TO THE MOLD. THE CAR HAS STARTED RUSTING WHERE WETNESS POOLS, UNDER THE SEAT. AND IF IT ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF SOON, THE WET INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANELS WILL NOT ONLY RUST PREMATURELY BUT COMPROMISE MY REAR ELECTRICAL, SUCH AS MY SPEAKERS AND WHATEVER ELSE GOES THROUGH THE DOORS. I NEED THE LEAK FIXED, THE CARPET REPLACED AND THE DOOR PANELS TO BE DRAINED. *TR

FRONT VEHICLE CARPET BENEATH GAS/BRAKE PEDALS HAS WORKED LOOSE. IT IS CURLED UP AND MAY POSE A RISE TO BRAKING ACCELERATING PEDALS, I WILL CONTACT HONDA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE DRIVER'S LEFT FOOT TENDS TO GET CAUGHT IN THE CARPET AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A SIMPLE FIX FOR THIS. THE PLASTIC RUNNERS ON THE FLOORBOARD AT THE DOOR CAN'T BE LIFTED TO REPAIR THIS BECAUSE THE HOOD RELEASE HANDLE IS INCORPORATED INTO THEM. *TR

WE'VE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL EPISODES IN WHICH THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR IS HOLDING AN IMPRESSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER AFTER IT HAS RAINED. WINDOWS HAVE NOT BEEN LEFT OPEN. WE HAVE DRIED UP THE AREA ONLY TO FIND ANOTHER PUDDLE OF STANDING WATER IN THE FLOOR SPACE AGAIN AND AGAIN. THERE ARE NO TELL-TALE SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ON THE UPHOLSTERY OR CEILING MATERIAL BUT THERE IS STARTING TO BE A MOLD SMELL BECAUSE WE CANNOT KEEP THE WATER OUT! THIS IS STARTING TO RUIN THE FLOORING CARPET MATERIAL AS WELL AS THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE INSIDE OF OUR WELL-KEPT FAMILY CAR. WE'RE VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS COULD RUIN THE CAR; I'VE READ MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME SITUATION/CONDITIONS AND I HAVE YET TO READ WHAT HONDA HAS FOR AN ANSWER/SOLUTION. I LIVE IN A RAIN-HEAVY AREA - ON AN ISLAND - WITH NO HONDA DEALERSHIP. *TR

FINDING WATER BUILDUP IN THE FRONT DRIVE FLOORBOARDS OF MY 2007 HONDA FIT. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS AFTER RAINSTORMS WITH SIGNIFICANT DOWNPOUR AND I DIDNT NOTICE THIS BECAUSE LATELY WEATHER'S BEEN PRETTY GOOD. NOW I'M FINDING THE WET SPOT WITH MOLD TO GO ALONG WITH IT AS WELL UNDERNEATH THE FOAM PIECE UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. OTHERS HAVE HELPED ME TRACE IT TO MY DOOR SEALS AND THERE IS MUCH MOLD GROWTH UNDERNEATH, SO EVEN BEFORE I DISCOVERED THIS IT MUST HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE BUT IN LESSER DEGREE. I FEEL AS THIS SHOULD NOT BE A WARRANTY ONLY FIX BY HONDA AND THAT THE DOOR SEALS AND CARPETS SHOULD BE REPLACED AS A RESULT. GROWTH OF MOLD IN A CAR WHICH YOU'RE DRIVING IN EVERYDAY CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO ANYONE'S HEALTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR FLOORBOARD CONTINUED TO BECOME SATURATED WITH WATER WHENEVER IT WOULD RAIN. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF MOLD GROWING IN THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 05/12/11 *BF UPDATED 05/16/11

THIS SPRING,WE NOTICED THE FLOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS WET,VISIBLE PUDDLES IN THE BACKSEAT AREA AND WATER IN THE SPARE TIRE AREA.WE ALWAYS HAVE THE WINDOWS CLOSED,THE KIDS ALWAYS KNOCK SNOW OFF THEIR BOOTS AND WE HAVE SNOW MATS,SO THERE IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR.WE EASILY REMOVED A GALLON OUT OF THE BACK AREA WITH A SHAMWOW,BUT NOW THE MOLDY SMELL IS STARTING UP AND THE CAR ALWAYS HAS CONDENSATION INSIDE ON THE WINDOWS.WE GOT THE FLOORS FAIRLY DRY A WEEK AGO,AND SAT THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WHILE IT RAINED. LO AND BEHOLD,PUDDLES AGAIN!! THE DEALERSHIP SAYS "SORRY,YOUR PAST 3YEARS/60000"AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY"HONDA PLUS"DOESN'T COVER WATER LEAKS. HONDA CANADA SAYS GO PAY FOR AN INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP"THEN WE'LL TRY TO HELP YOU OUT"THIS CAR IS NOT YET 4 YEARS OLD AND IT SOAKS UP WATER LIKE A SPONGE.I 'M NOT SHELLING OUT A SINGLE PENNY FOR THIS OBVIOUS DEFECT.

STARTED NOTICING THAT WATER WAS GETTING INTO THE BACK FLOOR BOARD OF THE VEHICLE. UPON INVESTIGATION NOTICED CONSIDERABLE AMOUNTS OF WATER UNDER THE SPARE TIRE. I HAVE NOTICED THE MOLD GROWING IN THE CARPET AND HAVE CLEANED THIS UP TWICE. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER (JOHNSON CITY HONDA) SAYS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE PAST. THIS OCCURS EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IN THE RAIN. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE LOCAL DEALER. *TR

HEAVY RAIN CAUSES MY 2007 HONDA FIT TO LEAK INTO THE REAR PASSENGER FLOOR BOARD. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE AUTOMATIC CARWASH WAS TO STRONG. BY THE TIME I DISCOVERED THE WATER, IT HAD STARTED TO MOLD UNDER THE FLOOR MAT. IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET IT CORRECTED. BY THIS TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECORD OF MY REPORTING IT THE FIRST TIME. THE FIX THAT WAS DONE WAS RE-SEALING THE DOOR PANEL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE LEAK OCCURRED WHENEVER THERE WAS A HEAVY RAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE LEAK. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,000. UPDATED 03/24/11*LJ UPDATED 1/4/11 *CN

DURING THE RAIN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT GOT FLOODED; THIS CAUSED RUST FORMATION ON THE JACK, GROWTH OF THE MOLD AND EXTREME FOGGING OF THE WINDOWS. THE LEAK IS MOST PROBABLY CAUSED BY THE REAR DOOR TO BODY SEAL FAILURE. *TR

STRUCTURAL. MY 2007 HONDA FIT IS LEAKING WATER ONTO THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT FLOOR. IT IS CAUSING MOLD WHICH AGGRAVATES MY ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES. IT IS ALSO RUSTING THE DOOR PANELS, FLOOR BOARDS AND THE SPARE TIRE WELL. I HAD TO THROW OUT MY FLOOR MAT, AS IT WAS MOLDED. I BELIEVE HONDA SHOULD REPAIR THE LEAK, RUST AND MOLD. IT WILL AFFECT MY CAR FOR YEARS TO COME IF ALL ARE NOT ADDRESSED. AN INITIAL CALL TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER RESULTED IN A "YOUR CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY" COMMENT. A CALL TODAY STATED THAT THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT BUT DID NOT GUARANTEE THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. *TR

THE 2007 HONDA FIT HAS DEFECTIVE DOOR SEALS IN AT LEAST THE FRONT TWO DOORS AND THE TRUNK LEADING TO BLACK MOLD AND RESULTING HEALTH CONCERNS. WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED ON ANY KIND IF INCLINE AND IT RAINS, WATER ENTERS THE CAR VIA THE DEFECTIVE DOOR SEALS AND SOAKS INTO THE REAR CARPETS CAUSING EXTENSIVE MOLD DAMAGE TO THE CARPETS AND SEALS. WATER ALSO FILLS THE REAR SPARE TIRE WELL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS PARKED IN THE RAIN. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS WITH MY 2007 HONDA FIT, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE EITHER IN PERSON OR ONLINE. IN THE US HONDA DO NOT ADMIT IT IS AN ISSUE, DESPITE VARIOUS HONDA DEALERS IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM. IN EUROPE AND JAPAN HONDA HAVE ATTEMPTED REMEDY WITH THE HONDA JAZZ - VIRTUALLY THE SAME CAR. THIS LEAK HAS CAUSED ME BREATHING DIFFICULTIES AND OTHER PHYSICAL SIDE EFFECTS. IT HAS REDUCED THE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AND IS A DANGER TO MY PREGNANT WIFE AND MY UNBORN CHILD. DESPITE MY AND OTHERS EFFORTS TO BRING THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF HONDA USA, THEY HAVE IGNORED ALL ATTEMPTS AND WILL NOT OFFER ME ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAVE WASTED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY TRYING TO REMEDY THIS ISSUE THROUGH HONDA. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD BE THE FOURTH ISSUED FOR THIS CAR, AND TWO OF THE PREVIOUS RECALLS ARE LINKED TO WATER LEAKS OR WATER DAMAGE. THERE IS CLEARLY A SERIOUS RELATED DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING WITH THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF THIS MODEL'S LIFESPAN. *TR

AFTER ABOUT 2 YEARS, I NOTICED THAT MY CARPET IN THE REAR SEAT AND REAR HATCH AREA WERE SATURATED WITH WATER ANY TIME IT RAINS (LIVING IN FLORIDA, IT RAINS OFTEN). UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT UNDER THE REAR HATCH AREA WAS POOLING WITH A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF WATER (WE'RE TALKING A QUART OF WATER AFTER A HEAVY DOWNPOUR, EASILY A GALLON WITHIN A RAINY WEEK IF NOT TENDED TO DAILY). IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF LEAK AROUND THE REAR DOOR HATCH AND/OR REAR LIGHT SEALS, AND/OR IN THE ROOF, AND/OR IN THE FLOOR. THIS HAS LED TO MOLD AND MILDEW GROWTH IN THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER COMPARTMENT WHICH REPRESENTS A SERIOUS HEALTH CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION PROPERTY DAMAGE TO ANYTHING BEING TRANSPORTED IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BECOME AWARE OF OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS FROM THE 2007-08 MODEL YEARS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING YET DONE BY MANUFACTURER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS FAR AS I AM AWARE OF. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA FIT. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE CAR, UNSURE IF IT'S FROM THE FRONT DOOR OR REAR DOOR PANELS BUT THE FLOORS IN THE BACKSEAT AREA GET SOAKED EVERY TIME IT RAINS. (WHICH IS DAILY THIS TIME OF YEAR IN FLORIDA) MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY TYPE OF REPAIRS. MOLD IS FORMING ON THE CARPET, THE CAR SMELLS HORRIBLE! I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE VERY SAME ISSUE AS ME. DEALERSHIPS ARE SCOFFING AT THE PROBLEM STATING THAT EVERY CASE "IS ISOLATED" AND THAT SIMPLY IS NOT TRUE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THEMSELVES WHETHER OR NOT IT'S UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE VALUE OF MY 2007 HONDA FIT IS DOWN THE TUBES! I HAVE READ THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS AS WELL AND SOME HAVE PENDING LAW SUITS. IT SEEMS AS IF THE 2007 MODEL IS A LEMON! HONDA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS PROBLEM AS THERE ARE ALREADY THREE OTHER RECALLS ON THIS CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. WE HAVE CHILDREN WHO HAVE TO RIDE IN THE BACKSEAT WITH THE MOLD! THIS IS AFFECTING OUR HEALTH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT WAS EXAMINING THE VEHICLE WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WAS WET ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHERE THE WATER HAD ACCUMULATED FROM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

2007 HONDA FIT LEAKING WATER INTO SPARE TIRE WELL AND UNDER PASSENGER SEAT CARPETING. HAD IT IN DURING FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP - COULD NOT FIND IT. HAD IT IN AGAIN IN 2009 - THEY COULDN'T FIND IT. HAD IT IN JULY 13TH, OF THIS YEAR, BECAUSE SMELL WAS SO BAD - LIFTED UP REAR PASSENGER SEAT TO A SOAKED CARPET AND WET SPARE TIRE WELL. THIS TIME THEY FOUND IT , ATTEMPTED TWO FIXES SO FAR. BROUGHT IN TODAY, JULY 19, - WILL BE ATTEMPTING 3RD FIX. AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE MOLD SMELL - THEY CLEANED UP THE WHITE MOLD DURING THE FIRST FIX - SO VISUAL EVIDENCE IS GONE. I HAVE SEVERE ALLERGIES AND TAKE MEDICATIONS EVERY DAY, YEAR ROUND. THE DEALERSHIP AND MECHANICS SAY THIS IS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. THEY HAVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH HONDA ENGINEERS ON HOW TO FIX - BUT SO FAR UNSUCCESSFUL. I BOUGHT THIS NEW, AS A RETIREMENT GIFT TO MYSELF. CASHED IN AN IRA. I HAVE DRIVEN HONDAS FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING HONDA TO LET THEM KNOW I HAVE FILED THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED, HE FOUND WATER ON THE FLOOR IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP ON THREE OCCASIONS WHERE THE VEHICLE HAD MINOR WELDING PERFORMED ON DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THERE IS A WATER LEAK FROM THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CARPET IS WET AND WATER HAS ACCUMULATED UNDERNEATH THE CARPET. THERE IS STRONG MOLDY SMELL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT RAINS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED TOO LOW, WHICH CAUSED THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO STRIKE AGAINST THE GROUND. AS A RESULT, THE DRIVER'S SIDE SHIELD DETACHED. THE LOW DESIGN CAUSES THE UNDERCARRIAGE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH OBJECTS IN THE ROAD AND HIGH-SURFACED DRIVEWAYS. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO AVOID A FEW CRASHES. A REPORT WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER, BUT THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED THE CONTACT'S PHONE CALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY OFFERED TO TRADE-IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DECLINED BECAUSE IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH MONEY. THE DEALER STATED THAT NOTHING ELSE COULD BE DONE AND REFERRED HER TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ABNORMALLY LOW, WHICH CAUSED HER TO FREQUENTLY SCRAPE THE PARTS UNDERNEATH THE FRAME WHILE DRIVING. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS HOW THE VEHICLE WAS INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.
