What owners say
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 federal safety agency 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 the federal safety agency knows that these airbags still need repairs, and perhaps honda should be pressured by the federal safety agency to complete these repairs free of charge. Thank you.

We have a 13 year old who weighs over 75 pounds. She began riding in the front passenger seat of our 2007 honda fit after her 13th birthday. We noticed that the SRS indicator light came on while she sitting in the front passenger seat. According to the honda manual, if the light comes on other than when you first start the car, you should have your car checked by the dealer, as this may indicate that the air bags or seat belt tensioners are not working properly. We have now taken our car to two different dealers on three separate occasions. They claim the SRS system and the and the sensors work properly. We followed the instruction is the manual, and checked items that might be interfering with the sensors. We have a picture of our daughter sitting in the passenger with the SRS indicator light on. We have had her ride in another 2007 fit, where this problem did not occur. The problem continues to occur in our car, however honda says they cannot fix this, as they claim there is nothing wrong. We disagree. Our 75+ pound daughter cannot safely ride in the front passenger seat. We believe we have a defective vehicle, one that is not safe for 13 and 14 year olds under 100 pounds to ride in the front passenger seat.
I own a 2007 honda fit sport that was in a high speed crash. Reading the complaint # 10228324 I can relate to this issue. I was hit on the very front left side at about 55 MPH and then pushed off the road to the right. The right front of the car hit a dirt burm around 30 MPH. The air bags didn't deploy but the air bag light stayed on until it was reset. The body shop advised me that the impact cut the wiring harness to the air bags and sensor's had been cut in half and the sensors were cracked. It sounds like the left side of this model fit has many flaws and I am lucky that I was seriously injured. The only answer I can get on this issue is that the impact wasn't in the red zone for the air bags to deploy. I'm sorry but if they don't deploy during a front end impact why would I ever think they would have ever deployed with the wires cut in half. The red zone isn't the issue. The car is a death trap on wheels. So much for the safety ratings because it seems like this car has an air bag issue. The recall because of salt, b.s. Because I live in texas and have 2 of these cars that the passenger sensor is still shorting out even after they replaced it. Texas isn't one of the states that is in the multi salt states that the recall covers. I think someone need to take a long hard look at the issue before some does loose there life. Enough said...... My foot also falls asleep and hurts like you could never imagine after I drive only 25 miles. Complaint # 10221630 -- I feel your pain..... I have 2 of these cars and each one puts my foot to sleep no matter how I move the seat. ----

Air bags: frontal
- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, virginia, west virginia , wisconsin and the district of columbia. The wire harness for the occupant detection system (ods) and the occupant position detection system (opds) is routed underneath the carpet on the driver's side floorboard. In areas where road salt is used, salt from the snow on the driver's shoes will melt and may penetrate the carpet and leak into the wire harness. If the harness is exposed to salt brine, corrosion may occur and the wire may break causing the SRS indicator light to illuminate. A failure of the ods and opds may not detect the presence of a child seat or an out-of-position passenger and deployment of both the front seat passenger's frontal and side air bags will not be suppressed.
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, a deploying front passenger air bag or front passenger's side air bag will increase the risk of injury to small or out-of-position occupants.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect and replace the wire harness. The recall began on december 12, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 800‑999‑1009.
