VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS

Honda is re-recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under previous recall 10V-033. The remedy applied in this earlier recall may have been insufficient. In the affected vehicles, over time, the plastic cover may separate from the master power window switch allowing water to enter the driver's window and reach the master power window switch. If the master power window switch is damaged as a result of the water intrusion, overheating and failure of the switch may result.

Consumer Complaints(369 total, showing 10)

AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The problem I have is: There is 3 recalls for my vehicle. One is the urgent as Takata airbags installed. I called local Honda dealer on 6/27/25, they order the part and I received the email stating that part arrived. I called dealer today to schedule a replacement. When I ask how long it will take, lady say about 1/2 day. When I ask if Honda will give me car to drive in that time, she stated No., but I can rent a vehicle for $75. Dealers name: Gary Smith Honda, 225 Miracle Strip SW, Fl., 32548. Is it safe to drive this car?

STRUCTURE

I heard that some honda models between 2003 and 2007 may qualify for a paint recall. The paint job on the roof is the major issue. It's been peeling and the paint is almost gone on the roof and getting rusty. It's a safety concern because my car now looks pink and that would not be helpful to law enforcement if anything happened because my car is documented as being red.

STEERING

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the power steering warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the power steering became inoperable. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 210,000. The VIN was not available.

SEAT BELTS

See attached document for complaint

STEERING,STRUCTURE

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the vehicle recently lost power steering functionality while pulling into the driveway. Additionally, the contact stated while the vehicle was being serviced by an independent mechanic, the mechanic informed the contact that the subframe was rusted. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed due to sub frame rust; however, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle could not be diagnosed due to the severe rust. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance because the vehicle was out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000. The VIN was not available.

STRUCTURE

All honda fits have a massive water penatration issue. Water leaks from even small amounts of water from rear lift hatch from cracks in the weld seems an into car along inside on both sides in to the wheel well with spar tire. This causes high humidity and consequently massive damageing moister and rusting inside. Found to compromise electrical for tail lights and Hazzard lights. Also causeing massive sweating of water vapor that leads to obscure of ability to see through rear window and through all windows. Also massive threat to elderly and children and immune compromised people because toxic mold growth is likely to form. Honda refuses to repair say they don't care how many die because of issue. Children almost killed due to inability to see through rear window.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,VISIBILITY/WIPER

Headlights and taillights have gone out. Replaced bulbs and fuses. Brakelights and highbeams still functional Faulty relay most likely as a similar problem was already found on the 2002 Honda civic.

AIR BAGS

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 213,000.

STEERING

The power steering indicator lights up and there is no power steering when the car is started. Sometimes the light goes out and the power steering is active after driving several miles. But, frequently the steering does not improve after 25-30 miles of driving. This makes it very difficult when trying to navigate turns, and backing up. The problem according to the mechanics is the Electronic Power Steering Module (EPS Module).

STEERING

The Electronic Power steering stopped working
