2009 Honda Fit problems

“Honda has sent me numerous mailers advertising a gift card and loaner vehicle as incentives for participating in their Takata recall. Honda also cites the promise of a loaner vehicle in every press release trumpeting their so-called commitment to this recall. My local Honda dealership refuses to provide a loaner vehicle. I reported this problem to Honda expecting them to intervene, but I received nothing except useless automated email responses.”

“At highways speeds vehicle became difficult to maintain in a straight path. Slight change in the steering would result in car drifting to the left or right, requiring constant correction. Car felt unsafe to drive...took to mechanic to be diagnosed. Informed car needed a new steering rack system.”

“Pulling out onto a busy highway my car lost propulsion. It died in the middle of the highway with cars coming towards me. I found out the front right drive axle broke. I have photos of the broken drive axle. I later found out the part was recalled. I was never notified of any recall. I had my mechanic fix the car. He put in a new axle. Then I found out (on Facebook) that the axle was covered by recall. I called Honda. They said they will reimburse me for the repair. I sent them all the info, detailed bill and paid in full receipt. They did not pay. They closed my case. They do not return phone calls or letters.”

“Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2009 Honda Fit. The contact stated that there was an abnormal clicking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 54,247. While the contact’s uncle was using a car app scanner, he discovered that the mileage was 172,429. The odometer was currently 90,000. There were no other agencies contacted.”

“HVAC BLOWER MOTOR WORKS ONLY ON HIGH SPEED. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND IT IS DUE TO OVERHEATING, WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON IT SINCE IT SEEMS LIKE A FIRE HAZARD. AS SOON AS MINE WENT OUT, THE AIR SYSTEM ALSO STARTED MAKING A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. *TR”

“THE HOOD OF MY CAR IS RUSTING FROM UNDER THE HOOD TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOOD. ALL OF THE RUST SPOTS ARE AT THE SPOT WELDS WHERE THE HOOD AND SUBHOOD ARE ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM. NO CAR SHOULD RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT.”
