The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted or notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 213,000.
Motor mounts bust causing shaking alot of reports on YouTube. Airbag passenger turns off at times no apparent reason. Sometimes with bag in seat or nothing at all. Motor mounts are bad in these cars won't last 100 thousand miles bolts break if it doesn't get fixed automatically. Antioch brake system slides when slammed on breaks in no rain
I was taking a ride through the mountains and had parked and when I tried to start the car the ignition switch wouldn't turn like it was locked, I was by my self, and it started raining and my window was down, I couldn't get ahold of anyone who could come help me so I had to figure out how to start the car a different way which I had to use whatever I had handy, ,well it took a whole day and more for me to finally get it started, when I did I start smelling burning, I was freaking out, when I noticed it was coming from my window switch, I started trying to get the fire to stop and I shut off the car. So I had to take off the panel to get the part off so I could get off the mountain. I didn't know that that was an already known recall or I would have gotten it fixed sooner, I didn't learn about it until I received an urgent notice in the mail about airbag inflator. So I am here at the pye Honda in dalton ga.
Nothing actually "happened" while I was driving the car. My airbag light went on and would not shut off, so I visited hennessey Honda in woodstock, Georgia, for service. I am perplexed that I need to replace a passenger airbag for almost $700. A recall was issued three years ago, and I had a canister replaced on the 2007 Honda Fit, due to a recall. Last week I looked on the NHTSA recall list and found the passenger side airbag inflator recall list from June 27, 2019, and the 2007-2008 Honda Fit is listed. When I put in my VIN into the list, it indicates that I have 0 recalls. I don't understand why I would not qualify for the recall repair. If the airbag product was defective, I should not have to pay for the repair for a new one. I wanted to file a complaint to make sure NHTSA knows that these airbags still need repairs, and perhaps Honda should be pressured by NHTSA to complete these repairs free of charge. Thank you.
Takata recall. Received a recall letter in the mail from american Honda. Took the vehicle to stevens creek Honda one month ago. The told me that they would need approval from Honda to do the recall. Still have not received an approval to get the recall done. Is there anything you can do to help me with this situation?

Takata recall Honda replaced the passanger airbag, but not the driver side. They said it wasn't a takata inflator. This did not make sense to me. Today (6/12/18 ) on the news they said millions of the airbags are still a serious problem and have not been replaced. I just want the truth about my car, why would they put a takata bag on one side and something else on the other"??"
The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact wanted to file a complaint against the manufacturer. A manufacturer representative at the recall center advised the contact that the frontal driver side air bag needed to be replaced. The scheduling department refused to schedule an appointment to have the air bag replaced. The dealer (rick case Honda, East 200th street, euclid, Ohio, 216-416-6700) stated that the frontal driver's air bag would eventually need to be replaced. The contact also stated that the driver's air bag was replaced by the previous owner of the vehicle. The contact had not received a recall notification. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The contact had not experienced a failure.
I recently was involved in a head on wreck, totaling my car. The airbags never deployed although the car was a complete loss from the frontal impact. I was moving forward in a 45 mph zone, as someone ran a stop sign to my right. I was driving on a straight highway, on the inside lane.
Takata recall SRS light came on at almost 113,000 miles with code 11-10 for driver side airbag inflator. All open recalls for this vehicle have already been completed. The driver side airbag was recalled in Fits from 2009-2014. Only the passenger airbag was covered by recall in 2007 Fits.
I own a 2007 Honda Fit sport and just yesterday while the car was parked and not running, I went to start it to leave work and the eps indicator light came on, steering wheel locked and car would not start. Was told a few things to try; bypassing battery cables clearing the circut, checked the fuse and neither worked(worth a try just to say we did so we would know). Finally had it towed to automotive shop, left over night only to find out the car started right away with no warning light on (eps indicator) for the mechanic. They drove it around, turned off, restarted and it started right up. Also hooked up to their code tool and no codes came up. My concern here is that this will happen again to myself, my 16 year old son, my 13 year old son riding as a passenger, or other passengers while driving (our only form of transportation) and cause an accident, harm, injury, or possibly death to ourselves and others around us. This is not safe and Honda should fix this issue regardless of how old the vehicle is or the mileage. It's a hazard to every life!
Was in an accident after recall in which the front end was crushed completely and none of the airbags opened recently took car in for recall prior and complained about other concerns with car at dealership
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit.

Takata recall: I made an appointment to get my passenger-side airbag fixed, but since I live an hour away from the dealership, I was going to have to drop the car off the night before. When I asked gunn Honda for a loaner car, they refused. They said they don't give loaners for recall repairs, especially when it's one that "doesn't affect the use of the car." They said, "you don't have to get this recall done. Just don't let anyone ride in the passenger seat." I called american Honda (corporate). The three people I spoke with were terrific, and a loaner was secured at gunn Honda as a result of corporate's intervention. When I arrived at gunn Honda, the first thing that [xxx], my service advisor, said was, "oh, you're the one with the loaner. You called corporate." He went on to say, "yeah, she was mad when she called." I replied, "I'm not surprised. I was too. But it looks like it's all getting taken care of, so that's good." He then said with a smug smile, "well, she's in big trouble because we don't do that, and our factory rep was pissed that she got you a loaner. She's in big trouble." The rude and antagonistic comments continued. He commented on how unnecessary it was for me to get the recall taken care of because I "don't have to use the passenger seat." Comments were made about how Honda is blameless in the airbag recall issue and shouldn't have to do anything extra for their customers because they didn't do anything wrong. I received dirty looks from several other people while I was there, especially when I took pictures of the outside of my car for documentation before leaving it there. Today I received a call that the car was ready but my battery is "not registering when tested." I was advised to buy a new battery even though mine has at least 40 months left and a 40% credit.

I received the recall notice (see attachment) from Honda in July 2016. I made an appointment at fairfax Honda for repair. When I stopped by to drop it off the person at the service told me they need to place an order for the part. He said I should be getting a call or an email when it's delivered. I never heard back from them for 2weeks so I called them. They said it's not delivered yet so I will have to wait more. It's now January 2017 and haven't heard anything.

Honda Fit 2007 recall. I received a recall notice in July of this year about a recall repair needed for the vehicle I recently purchased. The recall was for the passenger side airbag to be replaced by then end of the summer and start of fall. I contacted the dealership after I received the notice and was told I would receive a second notice which I never received. My call was transferred over to another department where I left my contact information and a woman called me a few days later stating she would order the part and contact me when it came in. I have never received any other notice or call about it since and I am worried for my safety in this vehicle if it should rupture or cause any other injury to myself or any passengers.
