We've experienced several episodes in which the rear passenger side floor is holding an impressive amount of water after it has rained. Windows have not been left open. We have dried up the area only to find another puddle of standing water in the floor space again and again. There are no tell-tale signs of leakage on the upholstery or ceiling material but there is starting to be a mold smell because we cannot keep the water out! this is starting to ruin the flooring carpet material as well as the overall condition of the inside of our well-kept family car. We're very concerned because this could ruin the car; I've read many other complaints of exactly the same situation/conditions and I have yet to read what Honda has for an answer/solution. I live in a rain-heavy area - on an island - with no Honda dealership.
Finding water buildup in the front drive floorboards of my 2007 Honda Fit. Generally this happens after rainstorms with significant downpour and I didnt notice this because lately weather's been pretty good. Now I'm finding the wet spot with mold to go along with it as well underneath the foam piece underneath the carpet. Others have helped me trace it to my door seals and there is much mold growth underneath, so even before I discovered this it must have happened before but in lesser degree. I feel as this should not be a warranty only fix by Honda and that the door seals and carpets should be replaced as a result. Growth of mold in a car which you're driving in everyday can be hazardous to anyone's health.
While driving 2011 Honda Fit in the highway a small pebble hit lower driver side of front windshield causing the windshield to crack (crack is about 20 inches long). Windshield may be too thin or defective, because under regular circumstances the windshield wouldn't crack (small pebbles usually chip the windshield), I did an internet search to find out if there were any public concerns about this issue for this particular make and model (Honda Fit) and I found out that many people are having the same problem. This type of issue could potentially be a safety hazard while driving, particularly if the object hitting the windshield is bigger than a pebble; causing the windshield to crack, therefore reducing visibility to the driver.
In December after a heavy rain, the drive side door lock became inoperable - the key could not be inserted. I took it to my Honda dealer who charged me $220 to re-key the lock. On January 18, 2011 we had another heavy rain and the same thing occurred. I will be taking it back to the Honda dealer to have it repaired. I will demand that this repair be free of charge. I am concerned that there is a design flaw in the locks that lets water into the lock and ruins it during a heavy rain.
After coming to a stop, when start to accelerate, vehicle stalls. Then has hard time starting back up. Has caused several close calls with almost being t-boned as the car stalled after trying to complete a left hand turn from a complete stop.
I have a 2007 Honda Fit which has been leaking water in the passenger back floor area for over a year now. It began over a year ago and was sent to the dealership numerous times. It was accumulatiing over a 6 inches of rain and became moldy and smelled horrible. I explained my concerns to the delearship regarding the leak and mold health hazards. Especially having my newborn in the car with me. They could not figure out the problem after repeated attempted to take the car apart. . The last time it was there was in April 2010 and they allegedly fixed the problem. We have not had a huge amount of rain since then (except for alot of snot). The other day after a huge rain storm I noticed a distinct mildew smell. Once again the floor underneath my all weather mats was completely soaked. (directly under my 15 mo old's carseat. ) I have taken it back to the dealership for an unrelated recall and they said they don't know what the issue could be. I am at my wits end and cannot expose my child to this moldy health hazard any longer. I am looking into my rights as a consumer and would appreciate any assistance in this matter.
