This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
A car ran a red light and hit the front of the Honda Fit. The airbag on the driver's side deployed. The chemical from the airbag caused burns that blistered and peeled and the airbag deployment sprained both thumbs. There should be a warning that the contents of the airbags can cause significant burns when deployed. I have scars on my left wrist and right hand from these chemicals. The first responders and paramedics were unaware that these chemicals cause burns so they did not do anything to remove the chemicals or tell me that they would continue to burn as long as they were in contact with my skin.
Our 2009 Honda Fit sport manual's airbag light came on about a month ago. I took it to the dealer today to have the recall serviced. They mentioned that the airbags were not functioning and we should have that looked at, for a minimum charge of $105 (just to determine the problem!). shouldn't this be a manufacturer defect and safety issue? the light came on without any cause we are aware of - no crash, etc. It just came on.
The contact owns a 2009 Honda Fit. While the contact was driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. There were no personal injuries. A police report was not filed for the incident. There was a deployment of the front passenger side airbag. However, the other air bag systems in the vehicle failed to deploy with the level of impact. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 9,000.
Traffic was slowing down because of work on the side of the road. I tapped my brakes twice without any result. The next time I put my foot to the floor and the car would not stop. I ran into a truck. Since my car was low, the sensor did not go off with the air bags. I own a Honda sport Fit 2009.
