Honda FIT owners have reported 2 problems related to headlights turn off while driving (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Honda FIT based on all problems reported for the FIT.
Honda has recognized a problem with the headlight wiring harness/switch corroding or melting causing the head lights to turn off intermittently or not come on at all. They have sent a recall for certain vins for this model year, but not for all 2007-2008 Fits. This issue has occurred with my vehicle at only 75,000 miles while driving at night. Honda is aware of this problem but is not remedying the situation on all 2007-2008 Fits, only specific vins. This is a dangerous practice, driving with no headlights is extremely dangerous at night. I have contacted Honda but they will not fix the issue because they claim the vehicle is out of warranty. These vins should be covered by the same recall for the other 2007-08 vins.
