The fuse block became defective, thereby the brake lights, horn, tail lights, and blinkers stopped working.
Last evening the interior vehicle power (headlights, dash lights, ac/heat fan) intermittently flashed off then back on while driving. . . When this happened as I arrived home, I completely lost power steering (electronic power steering warning light came on) and could barely turn the steering wheel. Thankfully I was moving at relatively slow speed when I lost power steering, but this could certainly be a life hazard at higher speeds.
My 2013 Honda Fit has only 76,000 on it. While driving the radio shut off, head lights dimmed, dash board lights flickered and I lost power steering. Took it to the Honda service station in jasper alabama and they could not find the problem. The engine light and steering wheel with exclamation point showed up on the dash board. Car looses power steering while driving for a few seconds and then comes back on. This is very dangerous. With a vehicle with less than 80,000 miles on it this should be recalled as I am not the only one on this forum to have a complaint about this exact issue.
I bumped into a raised median and the airbag came out and the wheels got stuck in the median. On wheeler road. At 10 to 20 mph. I have an airbag recall but I have tried contacting you by phone and mail but it wouldn't accept my phone #. I got huge bruises and smoke inhalation from the airbag going off. It shouldn't have. The radio and seatbelt doesn't work either guess it affected the electrical system. Please help me. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

Spark plugs blew out they were not torqued correctly. Honda knows and has known about this problem since at least July of 2016 (according the their technical service bulletins . Honda has not even sent out letters to customers that have these 2013 Honda Fits. I leased the car in April of 2014 in January 2017 while driving on the freeway it suddenly would not accelerate and I was almost hit by a semi. This is a safety issue.
Service reminder came on for oil change. Now 10 different warning lights are lit, the speedometer and tachometer will not work, the air conditioner will not come on, and the vehicle is hard to steer. The d for drive is randomly blinking.

Static shock upon inserting key into ignition. Occurs intermittently and is currently ongoing. Don't recall date of first occurrence but was first reported to Honda on 10/21/14. Honda could not duplicate problem and indicated no similar concerns have been reported. Was advised to touch something metal before inserting key. Have never experienced this issue with any other vehicle I previously owned. Have concerns about how this may effect the electrical components and general safety of the car's performance.
