I was in a wreck where I tried to switch lanes from the left to the right, and my power train switched off- which caused electrical parts to splatter into my engine. I then lost control of the power steering. I tried to over correct twice and crashed into the highway divider to avoid hurting anyone else. The only airbags that went off were the passenger side- no driver’s side, front or center. The evidence of the vehicle will show this along with my bodily injuries.

I was driving slowly down a side street and nosing into a parking spot (not parallel parking) when the car surged forward. I hit the car I was parking in back of and propelled that car into the one in front of it. My car has damage to the hood and front bumper

On [XXX], I Down payment for the purchase of a 2010 Honda Fit, for $6,258.00 with 24 Ford of Easton, 703 Washington St., South Easton, MA 02375. License Motor Dealer , On [XXX], the TMPS dashboard light was on...Ford replaced them, but as presently ([XXX]) light is still on, they told me TMPS would go off after I drove car around. April 19, 2025, Last TMPS sensor was put on a 4th tire, I was in the car repair area and noticed a broken Sway Bar Link and a Bubble & Cracks on tire, Ford noticed it but did not offer to fix it and let me drive off dealership lot with broken Sway Bar and bad tire. It was negligent, and UNSAFE TO DRIVE. 30 day Lemon Law Ended on [XXX]. Also, there was a RECALL FOR A DRIVESHAFT, WHICH I FOUND OUT VIA THE INTERNET. On May 13, 2025 I went to a Honda Dealership and they replaced the DRIVESHAFT. I went to AXP Repair Shop to get SWAY BAR LINK fixed, and a new tire, which cost me $250.00. 24 Ford did not inspect my car until March 14, 2025 after they replaced the last Tire Sensor. Since the TMPS light was on they didn't even put a REJECT INSPECTION on my car window and let me drive it without any Sticker. They put my life and others at risk of a fatal accident, negligent in letting me drive off their FORD DEALERSHIP LOT WITH A BROKEN SWAY BAR LINK AND BUBBLE/CRACKS ON TIRE. Everything is very RUSTY under the car carriage. I do not feel safe driving car. I call it a deathtrap.

But did not replace all untill 4/19/2024, that is when I noticed a bubble and crack on tire and a BROKEN SWAY BAR LINK. ALSO THEY DID NOT INSPECT MY CAR WITHIN 7 DAYS, THEY INSPECTED IT ON 3/14/2025. NO REJECTION STICKER PUT ON, SO I was DRIVING THE CAR HONDA WITHOUT ANY STICKER UNTIL THEY REPLACED ANOTHER SENOR. TOLD ME THE TMPS light would go off after I drove the car around. 24 Ford of South Easton of Easton, MA sold me a 2010 Honda Fit that has a DriveShaft recall for corrosion. Also, faulty tire senors, replaced but Dashboard TMPS light is still on, lied about giving me a new tire, tire has bubbles on it and they put tire on rim facing in toward car wheel hub so it won't be visible, I noticed this and a broken Sway Bar Link. Ford let me drive an unsafe car off the lot. They didn't Offer to fix it, I went to AXP Auto , paid $183.00 to fix the Sway Bar Link, then to a tire Shop to get a new tire . I went to Honda Dealership and they replaced the DRIVESHAFT AND GAVE ME A $2000.00 ESTIMATE OF SAFETY REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE FIXED.

THIS HONDA FIT IS A DEATHTRAP AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. 24 FORD SHOULD HAVE REPLACED DRIVESHAFT BEFORE I PURCHASED CAR.

I called the Honda dealership in Concord California on 12/2/2024 for the 20V-770 recall as well as the airbag shrapnel issue. They checked with the service manager and refused to inspect the drive train unless there “Was a problem with the car”. They refused to repair the air bags unless “something happens, hopefully nothing happens then we can look at it.” They offered to have the airbags repaired at our expense. What is the point of having a recall if the dealers refuse to even look at the car until it crashes or hits you with shrapnel?
- Steering
Just purchased the car and it suffers from "Memory Steer". After a turn, the steering does not return to neutral, but the steering wheel requires input to straighten out. Alignment, Strut Bearings and Ball Joints checked OK, suggesting the binding is in the steering column, Steering Rack or perhaps the Electric Power Steering. The problem occurs at all speeds.

While driving on the highway, my 2010 Honda Fit Sport automatic with 134,000 miles going around 60 mph lost power and started making sputtering noise. Fortunately, there was still some power left, and I was able to navigate to the shoulder of the highway. I turned off the car and turned It back on again and the Check Engine Light came on. I plugged in my BlueDriver diagnostic tool and it says Cylinder 2 Misfire. When I placed it in Drive, the car was making sputtering noise from the Engine Bay Area and would not accelerate, leaving me stranded on the side of the highway. I was lucky enough to maneuver the limping car in the middle of rush hours to the side of the highway. It's a miracle I didn't get into an accident, as the car lost power and was not accelerating properly. The mechanic did a diagnostic and said that Cylinder 2 spark plug blew, commonly due to the plugs coming loose, damaging the spark plug and ignition coil on cylinder 2. I searched the internet and found that other 2nd generation Honda Fit ('09-'13) owners also had spark plugs that came from the factory/ tightened to factory specification to only come loose again. I could have died or have gotten into a serious accident. Because of this horror story and being stuck on the highway for 4 hours, I will unfortunately never buy a Honda again, a brand that was supposed to be reliable.

While driving, the steering wheel intermittently locks up or loses power making control of the vehicle extremely difficult while driving straight and near impossible when it happens while turning.

On 1/29/22 in Dayton OH, I was stopped and turning left out onto the road. I accelerated lightly and the left axel broke in the middle of the turn. The car was stopped in the middle of two lanes. I was able to get help and push the car back in the business driveway by keeping it in neutral. The car would make repetitive clicking sounds if I left it in park. I had it towed. Repair shop fixed issue. It was the left front axel shaft that broke. My car has about 130,000 miles on it and is a 2010 Honda Fit. It is available for inspection. I am so thankful that I wasn't on a high speed road as a car could have collided into me when I was turning left because the axle broke before I could get fully into one lane. If I had been moving at higher speeds, I definitely would have gotten in an accident. There were no warning indicators before the incident. I regularly serviced the vehicle.

My front passenger side cv axel failed a year ago. Miraculously it happened in the parking lot of a service station who then did the repair so I didn’t need a tow. it just happened again. When I got towed I was told that they are towing honda fits regularly so it IS likely due to a design problem. Luckily I had just made a left turn into a business parking lot from a busy business street (vt state highway 302) when the car stopped moving and I could not get it into gear. It would have been really dangerous if it failed at higher speed and/or in the middle of a on busy road.

We purchased a new 2010 honda fit from david mcdavid honda in irving, texas. we have the car serviced at david mcdavid honda in irving also. we are concerned about the key locks on this car. the first failure occurred at 37746 miles. the key would go about half way into the driver's side lock and then would jam. I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the driver's side door lock cylinder. (see attachment one to this letter for the dealer invoice). at approximately 54000 miles the second failure occurred on the driver's side lock. the circumstances were similar to earlier failure. I called my david mcdavid advisor to see whether the lock cylinder was still in warranty. he told me that since 12 months and 12,000 miles had passed that I had no warranty on the part. I then went to car toys located in irving to see whether they could put a keyless entry system in the honda fit. after their positive assurance, I had their system put in the car. (see attachment two to this letter for car toys invoice dated september 10, 2018). on june 27, 2019, my wife went to store and when she returned to the car, the key would only go half way into the ignition and then jam. I went to where the car was located and tried to get the key to work. I had no luck and after discussing with advisor at david mcdavid honda in irving, I hired a wrecker to take the car to the dealership. mileage on the car was 59439. (see attachment three to this letter for the dealer invoice).
