2007 Honda Fit electrical system problems

“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.”

“I WAS TAKING A RIDE THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS AND HAD PARKED AND WHEN I TRIED TO START THE CAR THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULDN'T TURN LIKE IT WAS LOCKED, I WAS BY MY SELF, AND IT STARTED RAINING AND MY WINDOW WAS DOWN , I COULDN'T GET AHOLD OF ANYONE WHO COULD COME HELP ME SO I HAD TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO START THE CAR A DIFFERENT WAY WHICH I HAD TO USE WHATEVER I HAD HANDY ,,WELL IT TOOK A WHOLE DAY AND MORE FOR ME TO FINALLY GET IT STARTED, WHEN I DID I START SMELLING BURNING , I WAS FREAKING OUT , WHEN I NOTICED IT WAS COMING FROM MY WINDOW SWITCH, I STARTED TRYING TO GET THE FIRE TO STOP AND I SHUT OFF THE CAR. SO I HAD TO TAKE OFF THE PANEL TO GET THE PART OFF SO I COULD GET OFF THE MOUNTAIN. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THAT WAS AN ALREADY KNOWN RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT FIXED SOONER, I DIDN'T LEARN ABOUT IT UNTIL I RECEIVED AN URGENT NOTICE IN THE MAIL ABOUT AIRBAG INFLATOR . SO I AM HERE AT THE PYE HONDA IN DALTON GA.”

“2007 HONDA FIT HEADLIGHT RECALL, THEY FIXED THE ISSUE IN 2011 BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND ONE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THERE'S NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO???? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN AS PART OF THE RECALL.IT DOESN'T SEEM IT WAS FIXED RIGHT”

“BATTERY IN MY 2007 HONDA FIT SPORT CONSTANTLY NEEDS REPLACING I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANY OTHER BATTERY BUT A HONDA CERTIFIED BATTERY AND THEY ONLY LAST ABOUT A YEAR TO A YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE BEING COMPLETELY DRAINED IN SOME INSTANCES THE BATTERY ONLY LASTED SIX MONTHS I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2006 AND HAVE SINCE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED FIVE TIMES. ALL FIVE TIMES I HAVE HAD A CERTIFIED HONDA DEALER REPLACE THE BATTERY AND NOTHING ELSE COULD BE FOUND WRONG WITH IT WHEN CHECKED AT THE DEALERSHIP”

“2007 HONDA FIT SPORT. CONSUMER WRITES WITH REGARD TO RECALL NO. 16V-344 AND 07-011 FOR VEHICLE AND INQUIRES WHEN PARTS WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. *AS *JS *JS”

“HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS/SWITCH CORRODING OR MELTING CAUSING THE HEAD LIGHTS TO TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT COME ON AT ALL. THEY HAVE SENT A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT FOR ALL 2007-2008 FITS. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MY VEHICLE AT ONLY 75,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT IS NOT REMEDYING THE SITUATION ON ALL 2007-2008 FITS, ONLY SPECIFIC VINS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE, DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THESE VINS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME RECALL FOR THE OTHER 2007-08 VINS.”
