Three problems related to tire bubble have been reported for the 2009 Honda FIT. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2009 Honda FIT based on all problems reported for the 2009 FIT.
The contact owns a 2009 Honda Fit equipped with dunlop sp sport tires, line size 185/55r 16(n/a). The vehicle was parked when the contact noticed excessive tread wear on all four tires. The contact also noticed bubbles developing on the side walls of both rear tires. The manufacturer of the tires as well as an authorized dealer was notified and the contact was told the tires were on national back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 22,000. The VIN was unavailable.
All tires have been losing air. Have to put air in tires everyday. One tire also has a bulge or bubble. Tires have only been used for 22,000 miles.
A bridgestone tire,185/55/r16, on my 2009 Honda Fit had a defect after approximately 15,000 miles. It developed a bubble on the side of the tire. I had it replaced and filed a warranty form with bridgestone. After 120 days, bridgestone responded through its dealer that the fault was due to a road hazard condition. Since I was not involved in any accidents or abnormal driving conditions, I dispute their findings. I am reporting this in the event their are other failures of this type/size of bridsgestone tires.
