2010 Honda Fit Electrical System

HVAC MOTOR/BLOWER ONLY WORKS ON HIGH SPEED. MAKES HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISES AT TIMES, NOT ALWAYS.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPED WORKING. AND RADIADOR FANS STAY ONE WHEN I TURN OFF CAR

ENGINE WIRING WAS CHEWED AND HEAVILY DAMAGED BY RODENTS. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE ENGINE BAY IS EASILY ACCESABLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR, THERE IS NO SHEILDING. I ALSO READ THAT ON THIS PATICULAR MODEL THE WIRING INSULATION IS SOY BASED, POSSIBLY ATTRACTING RODENTS TO SAID EAT WIRING.

KEY WILL NOT GO IN ALL THE WAY TO THE IGNITION, SO CANNOT START THE ENGINE. PART: 06351TF0A11 (LOCK CYLINDER) WAS REQUIRED TO BE REPLACED

BURNT OUT AC SWITCH DUE TO EXCESSIVE HEATING BY THE LIGHT BULB EMBEDDED IN THE SWITCH. THERE WAS A SMELL OF BURNT PLASTIC OR ELECTRICAL BURN SMELL.

CAR WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT WITH 7 MILES ON ODOMETER IN APRIL 2010. PASSES ALL NH STATE INSPECTIONS. HAD NO INDICATION THERE WAS ANY ISSUE WITH CAR UNTIL I WENT TO REREGISTER IN JANUARY OF 2011. CAR WOULD NOT PASS NH STATE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE EMISSIONS MONITORING COMPUTER WAS IN A DEFAULT STATE. HAD DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE NH STATE INSPECTION TO PASS AFTER REPLACING A RELAY. IN JANUARY 2012, HAD SAME ISSUE. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED A MAIN ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX. AGAIN IN 2013, FAILED NH STATE INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO PASS. AGAIN IN JANUARY 2014, THEN JANUARY 2015. DEALERSHIP TALKED WITH HONDA ENGINEERS, BUT NO RESOLUTION WAS AVAILABLE. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS DUE TO THE WINTER AND THE SLOW TURNOVER OF THE CAR WAS DROPPING THE ELECTRICAL POWER BELOW 10V, AND RESETTING COMPUTER. NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS RESULT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MARCH 2013. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHILE USING THE AIR CONDITIONER THAT WHEN I GO TO TURN IT OFF THE DIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN I USE THE HEATER, THE DIAL IS HOT TO THE TOUCH. *TR

WIFE DROVE CAR TO WORK ON RAINY DAY AND OPENED WINDOW TO USE KEY CARD TO ENTER PARKING GARAGE. WHEN LEAVING WORK WINDOW WOULD NOT OPEN. I AM A MECHANIC AND INSPECTED SWITCHES ON MASTER SWITCH WHEN WIFE ARRIVED HOME THAT DAY. WINDOW WOULD SURGE UP WITH SWITCH PLACED IN UP POSITION NO OPERATION IN DOWN POSITION. I ORDERED NEW DRIVERS WINDOW MASTER SWITCH ONLINE AND REPLACED UNIT AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I NOTICED HONDA FIT OLDER MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR WINDOW SWITCH ISSUES. I THINK THEY STILL HAVE A ISSUE WITH MOISTURE GETTING TO THE SWITCH SOLDER BOARD.SWITCH PART NUMBER 35750-TK6-A01 $154.00. *TR

2010 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE UNDERBODY EXPOSED WIRES DAMAGED BY RODENTS THAT CAUSED TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE UNDERBODY HAD EXPOSED WIRES THAT WERE OPEN TO THE GROUND. RODENTS HAD EATEN INTO THE WIRES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS, THE FIRST INCIDENT CAUSED A TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION; THE VEHICLE SLAMMED INTO GEAR UPON STARTING AND THEN AGAIN AT 25 MPH. THE SECOND TIME, THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR WIRE WAS GNAWED AND NOT FUNCTIONING. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED HONDA WAS APPARENTLY USING BIODEGRADABLE, SOY-BASED WIRING THAT ATTRACTED RODENTS.
