1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2011

I believe Honda should issue a recall for the rims and tires on the Fit sport, they are virtually unobtainable (usually have to be specially ordered - impossible to find when away from home), very expensive ($175/ tire w mount and balance) and very poor quality (3 blowouts in 10,000 miles). I consider this a serious design flaw,affecting the vehicle's safety.

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 01/01/1901

2009 Honda Fit. Consumer states problem with tires the consumer stated the vehicle was purchased to tow behind a motorhome. The vehicle was towed for about 1,000 miles over several days, when all of a sudden the front wheels locked up. The consumer had jut pulled into a gas station traveling 5 mph when it occurred. The two front tires on the vehicle had to be replaced. When the consumer went to the local dealer, the could not explain why it happened. Their only explanation was that maybe the battery failed or was too low but they didn't know why it would effect the front wheels locking or if it caused any damage to the abs.
