1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2016

My 2009 Honda sport is red. The paint is fading all over. . . . So much that it appears pink in many places. This is not representative of what Honda's do. I am hopeful that Honda will cover costs for repainting the vehicle.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 04/10/2009

The paint on my car has either not cured correctly at the factory, or is too soft. After driving the car for a few months the paint is chipping off and the car looks worse than my 7 year old Honda accord. This is not a safety concern, but will definitely cause the car to rust very soon. This should not happen after 6 months of driving. If you search online, this is not an isolated incident and almost all Fit owners are noticing that there is a serious issue with the paint on the car that will cause the body of the car to start to rust very quickly.
