The paint (white orchid pearl) is peeling down to the metal on three of the doors. I did have a spot on the roof repaired during the extended 7 year warranty. But this current problem happened after the warranty expired.

Structure
- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Fit LX-trim vehicles manufactured April 11, 2014, to July 02, 2015 and not equipped with a sunroof. In the affected vehicles, the rear grab handle brackets were not manufactured properly, and as a result, the brackets may puncture the side curtain air bags upon their deployment. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 214, "Side Impact Protection" and number 226, "Ejection Mitigation".
- Risk
- If the side curtain air bags are punctured upon deployment, the outboard seat occupants may be at a higher risk of injury during a crash.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear grab handle bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 18, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1‑888‑234‑2138. Honda's number for this recall is JV8.

What 2015 Honda Fit owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The floor of the driver seat and the floor of the front passenger seat continuously flood after it rains. I have dried the floors with a vacuum and checked for any potential leaks or blockages. However, I cannot find any blockages or leaks that are causing the floors of the car to flood, and it continues to flood after it rains. Besides the floors, nothing else is wet--the seats themselves are dry, and the steering wheel and dashboard all look dry. I am worried this water can lead to the floors rotting or retaining water and having mold--which will be a health concern.
Car loses power when accelerating below 20 MPH. Engine still on but when stepping on gas pedal no acceleration. Pedal is firm but no gas. Looks like iam pushing air. I have to lift my foot off and accelerate again in order to keep the car going. Veryscary and dangerous when changing lanes. Also, another issue... Paint comming off on a lot of locations. Cotacted the local dealer and since I was not the original owner they wont fix it. Very dispoinnted with honda loast car to buy as honda. Poor customer service.
Paint from factory failed. Peels off in sheets. Items falling off a moving car is safety reason enough. Poor paint adhesion was confirmed by local paint/ body repair business. Honda has agreed by extending paint warranty for 7 years from build date but doesn't offer a recall # record to help with the steps of them handling the cost.
Three issues rod nocking at start up paint peeling on top roof by windshield and starting to rust windshield safety is compromised buy the rust and should be recalled I was denied a recall for the paint blue low temperature coolant light is on dash with a ambient temp of 55degrees when cold for first couple off minutes of driving can be a problem with the temp not reading right to warn driver of the true coolant temp and or can cause excessive emissions for the engine not to read right and enrichen the mixture which could be the cause of the rod nick possibly gas washed the main bearings in engine
The air deflector under the front of my car has fallen down 5 times over the past 5 years. It has been replaced once. This has happened during highway driving. I have had to have it zip tied multiple times because either the clips that are used to anchor it are defective, poorly designed, or there are not enough to withstand the forces of the wind.
A year ago the white paint on my 2015 honda fit started peeling on the top of door and roof. I took it to a local dealer he said had not hear anything from honda corp about it and would cost $1500. I could not find anything on line about what to do.
The clear coat on my car is chipping. There is spots all over the drivers side and then some around the rest of the car. I have involved the dealership that I got it from about the issue and involved honda corporation. They brought in 2 managers of honda corporation to look at my car. And they said it was definitely in an accident and there's nothing they can do and to just pay for my car to be repainted myself. I said that it was too much money I can not afford that. Then they said " well just keep waxing it then". I am very upset and annoyed from this. So I wanna write this complaint to find out information if theres anything else I can do. It has been like this since I got the car.
Rear window 'exploded'. I was waiting to make a left turn, no one was behind me, nothing was touching the window, the inside termperatrue was cool, and the front windows were partially open. I heard a loud noise and saw about 1/2 of the window was missing and the rest was crackeled into little pieces. Photo taken immediately after window broke.
After any significant rainfall, water collects within the doors and leaks into the cabin. This water accumulates under the seats and promotes the growth of mold and mildew under the cabin. After a 1-inch rainfall, approximately 2 cups of water collect under the rear seat on the driver side. This leakage occurs both when the car is in motion or stationary.
