Hazard Flashing Warning Light Unit Problems of Honda FIT

Purchased this car as a certified used car in November 2010 from tarrytown Honda. Numerous incidents of stopping on the road with this car since June 2011 but this is the latest incident. Previous incident also reported on this website. Also filed complaint with american Honda in September 2011 (case#n0122011-09-0701741) and filed for nys lemon law arbitration in 2011 but never received a response. Car dashboard lighting started to go while driving and steering difficult. Car stopped after coming off of brooklyn bridge on 5/10/12 and had to be frantically pushed to the side of the road with help of good samaritan and my passenger because hazard lights wouldn't remain on. Car was towed to Honda dealership by aaa. Car completely died on the road in the middle of highway traffic with steering impossible and hazard lights not operable. Dealership states that alternator and battery need replacement - for the second time in one year! I belong to a Honda Fit online forum where other Honda Fit owners complain of the same problem. The dealership has not been able to resolve the problem since the first incident in June 2011 and I maybe injured or killed if I continue to drive this car.

Up to now, this car never exhibited a problem with low beam failure. The car was brought to the dealer for the recall correction for high/low beam switch when the recall was announced. On Thursday night, March 15, 2012 low beams failed to come on after repeated attempts. Used high beams to drive home. Brought vehicle in to dealer Friday morning. They could not replicate the failure, checked systems, found nothing malfunctioning. While driving Saturday night, low beams initially worked during steady use for an hour. After entering a dark road, I switched to high beams, and when I went to switch back to low beams for oncoming car, they failed. Used high beams to drive last 8 miles home. Using high beams is not as hazardous as no lights, but I was blinding oncoming vehicles, and they in turn would switch to high beams and blind me.
