2016 Honda Fit UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I put a deposit down at a dealership & they sold me a car with issues I have the proof I’m trying to file a complaint on the dealer

When it is cold outside the gauge cluster fails due to a loose solder connection on the instrument panel circuit board. This is a common and know issue with 2015/2016 Honda Fits.

Major leak in drivers side, causing pool of water near gas and brake pedals. Occurs when it rains and could be coming from door panel where electrical components are.

Water leak problem at passengers side . Including passenger side airbags area get wet , and sunroof area too . My car is 2016, never been in accident and well maintained, I couldn’t think of any reason to cost water leak . At 5/22/2022 evening time heavy rain, 3 hours parking car outside, passenger side floor almost 2-3inches water . That’s a lot of water.

MOLD THRU OUT CAR ON INSIDE HEADLINER HEALTH HAZARD AND PERSONAL SAFETY IN CAR DUE TO GAP IN CARS HATCHBACK.

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".

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.

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.

UPON EXITING MY STATIONARY 2016 HONDA FIT IN MY DRIVEWAY, MY LEG HIT THE DOOR GUARD, WHICH CAUSED AN INJURY REQUIRING 19 STITCHES.

THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE (TPMG) ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON RANDOMLY. WHEN RESET IT STAYS OFF FOR MINUTES THEN COMES ON AGAIN. IT STAYS ON EVEN WITH CORRECT RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE IN ALL 4 TIRES. THE SPARE TIRE IS NOT HOOKED UP TO THIS GAUGE. THIS CAR IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURS BUT ALSO OCCURS RANDOMLY AT OTHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE GAUGE COMES ON THE TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS NORMAL.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE 2016 HONDA FIT HATCHBACK WHICH IS ABOUT 3 MONTHS OLD WITH 1245 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER. SHE WAS ON A CITY STREET DURING A HARD RAIN. THE PRESSURE FROM THE RAIN WATER FROM THE STREET SPLASHING UNDERNEATH THE CAR SEEMED TO STRIP THE 4 PLASTIC BOLTS OFF THAT WERE HOLDING THE FRONT FLOOR ENGINE COVER(THE LARGE BLACK PLASTIC ENGINE COVER THAT I CALL( THE SKID PLATE) CAUSING IT TO FALL AND DRAG ON THE ROAD ALL THE WAY HOME. THE PART # IS74641-T5R-A00. THE WOLFCHASE HONDA DEALER CHARGED US $418.37 TO REPLACE THIS PART .I WENT ONLINE TO CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND THEIR WERE SEVERAL NHTSA MISCELLANEOUS PROBLEMS/ COMPLAINTS ON THE 2015 AND 2016 HONDA FIT CONCERNING THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS. ONE OWNER SAID THAT 4 PLASTIC SCREWS WERE ALL THAT HELD THIS COVER ON THE CAR. THE PLASTIC SCREWS MUST NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO TAKE THE EFFECTS OF BUMPY ROUGH ROADS OR PRESSURE FROM RAIN WATER CRASHING AGAINST THE COVER. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD THESE COVERS REPLACED BUT THEY KEPT FALLING OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND THAT THE HONDA CO. NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND STOP CHARGING OWNERS 4 TO 5 HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR. THE PROBLEM MAKES US SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR IN THE RAIN OR BUMPY ROUGH ROADS. WHEN THESE PLASTIC SCREWS BREAK AND FALL OUT THEY DISLODGE THE COVER FROM THE CAR CAUSING IT TO DRAG THE STREET WITH VERY LOUD NOISES AND RUINING THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER. I BELIEVE METAL OR STEEL SCREWS COULD HOLD THIS COVER ON MORE SECURELY. SURELY HONDA CAN DESIGN SOMETHING BETTER FOR THIS PROBLEM. WHEN YOU PAY AROUND $20,000.00 FOR A NEW CAR AND ONLY HAVE 1245 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD, YOU REALLY EXPECT A BETTER SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE VEHICLE.
