Have had two blowouts on the same wheel (rear passenger) with different tire brands in less than three years of owning the car (blowouts were 16 months apart, maybe 8K miles). The Honda Fit is not capable of driving on highways! I was traveling at 75 mph, the tire pressure light came on the dash, my car and steering wheel began to vibrate/jerk, car fishtailed, and I was thrown perpendicular into traffic! I was lucky to not be hit by other drivers on the highway as they were able to stop (second time, there were no other cars behind me). This happened twice! these wheels are not safe! NHTSA needs to launch a full investigation.

While parked my 2008 Honda Fit has a water leak that can seem to be found. According to internet message boards this seems to be a problem plaguing many if not most 2007-2008 Fit owners. The water leaks and pools on the rear floors causing mold to grow with a strong smell of mildew. When I contacted Honda they told me it would cost approximately $150 per hour to diagnose the problem alone. Instead of that I took it to a local mechanic who could clearly see there was a water issue, but after 2 hours of inspection, could not find the leak. I believe this is a manufacturing defect and should be recalled, especially considering that the carpet has to be replaced to be completely free of the mold. The vehicle has never been in an accident, is not misused, and is serviced regularly (following the recommended Honda maintenance schedule).

This vehicle has been leaking through the door seals completely soaking the rear carpet causing mold to grow and puddles to form. Honda has issued recalls for leaking water into switch areas but denies all knowledge of this issue. Any internet search will bring up hundreds of 2007 and 2008 Honda Fits with this exact problem. This vehicle was purchased new and has never been in any accidents. The mold issue has rendered the vehicle unsafe and lowered any resale value. Dealerships want approximately $400 to just diagnose the problem and the Honda corporation will not help in any way with the problem.

Water leaking through rear hatch weather seal. Originally thought water came through rear hatch whenever I opened it to get things during a storm.I began to realize that water would accumulate when it rained even when the hatch was never opened. I started to hear splashing type sounds thinking it was the fuel or a low coolant level. A few months ago I was vacuuming the car and lifted up the rear floor covering over the tire well and discovered at least two gallons of water almost submerging the spare tire. Shortly afterwards I started to observe water dripping down through a plastic cover that houses a utility hook on the car's ceiling. The headliner also was leaking near the hatch.I now check the tire well after it rains and it never fails that the tire well and surrounding area are wet. I can only use the defrost setting because if I don't the windows will fog up. I have also noticed the rear seat carpeting getting damp even when only the driver's door is used during a storm. The dealership has down played the situation suggesting I have the weather seals replaced by them with a charge for the part and labor. I spoke to Honda of America and they told me to take it to a dealership to be diagnosed for a fee. I have spent several months investigating on my own and have reached my own diagnosis that the weather seals on Honda Fits are defective. I am about ready to trade the car in for something else besides a Honda. I love the car but can only foresee more aggravation down the pike. I am capable of applying silicone caulk under the existing weather seals but will not because I am dissatisfied that Honda has not done anything to fix the problem on all Honda Fits.

I started building condensation up in my car. I took it to straub Honda in triadelphia, West Virginia. They said that it seemed to be a door seal was leaking. They changed the door seal and dried out the whole car. First of all, for a vehicle for not even 18,000 miles on it should not have seals going bad. Then about 2 weeks later it was leaking again. I couldnt even see out of my windows because they were frozen from the inside. When they thawed out, my windows were dripping water onto my dash and doors. I took my car back into straubs again. They said that they had called a number to see if this problem was occurring nationally. He told me that there was some Honda Fits that were doing the same thing and that there was cracking along the hatch of the car and water was running through the interior of the car and settling at the back passenger side of the car. I dont know much about the interior wiring of the car, but I hope there is no wiring that this water traveled through. Now, I have paid $300 out of pocket to fix a problem that is occurring to other Honda Fits as well. If the same thing has happened to ours, than its only a matter of time before there is more occurences. If you would like to get in contact of straubs for any reason, I have that number available also. I also have a picture of what it is like trying to drive the car while the window is defrosting, you cant do anything withn it until it is melted 25 minutes later.

The contact owns a 2008 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the seal between the door and the window was defective and as a result, water would leak into the vehicle. In addition, mold was growing in the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the seal needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who offered to pay for 40 percent of the repair costs. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 36,000.

I have a 2008 Honda Fit...the first indication there was a problem was condensation building up inside on the windows...at first I paid no attention and then I realized it was happening way to often. Before I got a chance to contact the dealer I received a recall in the mail for a possible faulty driver's side window problem. Upon cleaning out the vehicle for some reason I looked inside the spare tire well to find water in the spare tire and surrounding area. Took the car to dealer who claimed to have fixed the problem...1 week later my husband checked it again to find there is still water coming into the spare tire section...the car is back with the dealer who claims "they can't determine where the leak is"...I advised them to duplicate the situation by taking the car to a car wash"...
