general problems of the 2008 Honda FIT

Id like for my car to get assessed for any of the 8 recalled items that pop up in your system. . I bought this car from a dealership and I don't believe that they did anything for it to fix the recall problems.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while turning into a parking lot approaching a parking space without warning the vehicle accelerated forward. The contact slammed on the brake pedal, however the vehicle failed to stop. The contact depressed the brake pedal again and the vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact shifted the vehicle gear into park. The vehicle has not been diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however no further assistance was taken and the manufacturer informed the contact that the warranties had expired, and to contact NHTSA to log a complaint. No dealer was contacted. The contact mentioned NHTSA campaign number: 20v770000 (power train) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included. The failure was approximately 106,340.

A week before bringing in the vehicle to the dealer for the recall inspection the drive shaft broke while backing out of the garage.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The left side drive axle broke while pulling out of our driveway.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving 20mph the vehicle lost all motor and electrical power; which resulted in the vehicle rolling back down the hill it was on and crashing into a fence. No airbags were deployed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a local police lot and a report was filed. No physical injuries from the occupants of the vehicle. The contact stated no warning lights was illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with, NHTSA campaign number: 20v770000 (power train). The manufacturer was informed of failure and is currently awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

I own a 2008 Honda Fit with 105,000 miles on it. Upon attempting to accelerate from a stop sign going left, there was a bang and grinding from the engine area. Vehicle then began rolling backwards despite being in drive with the gas depressed. After a tow to a local dealer, it was diagnosed as a driver-side cv axle failure. When I asked the dealer if this is something that could have been caught and to inspect the passenger side , they advised there is no external warning by visual inspection since the area prone to failure is covered by a rubber boot. Dealer then mentioned that she had noticed Fits and older acords having this problem.

When I backed out of my daughter's driveway, I tried to shift the automatic transmission from park to reverse. It clicked but would not go in reverse as I lifted my foot from the brake. It rolled forward slightly. I put it back in park again and decided to try once more. There was no floor mat on the floor. There were no cars coming at this point. I shifted into reverse and removed my foot slowly from the brake. The car flew into the street with rapid acceleration and I couldn't brake for an oncoming car, which I crashed into. The Fit's left tail light and bumper were hit at such an angle and impact that my car spun forward and the transmission moved into drive. The air bag did not deploy. The brakes would not stop the car and it went zooming across my daughter's lawn, almost hitting a huge palm tree and a utility pole. It then spun around and finally stopped before it almost crashed into my daughter's house where my grandson was watching behind the window. The occupants of the other car in the crash said they had never seen anything like this and were willing to testify to that fact. The police report lists mechanical failure as the cause. The Honda Fit was towed to an auto body shop and repaired at a cost of $4400. The repair people would not test drive it because they were afraid to. They demanded that the car be towed to the Honda dealer for inspection. The tow truck driver experienced the rapid acceleration problem too as he was moving the car to the tow truck. He had to remove the key. The Honda dealer said they inspected the car and could find nothing wrong. I won't drive that car again and traded it in at Honda. They said the car was going to auction. Whoever buys that car could have a major problem.

I was casual driving when the car began to not respond to the amount of acceleration given. First gear was also having a problem engaging then the rest of the gears began to follow. I was about to visit my family for the weekend when I was about to merge into traffic my car didn't respond and continuously revved in high rpms. I was moving 30 on a 65. I only have roughly 30000 miles and had bought this new 4 years ago, almost to date. I've driven manual all life and never had this problem. This can be a potential danger as tractor trailers and bigger cars could easily have crushed me as I merged but luckily I had driven onto the shoulder.
