2015 Honda Fit body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Possible takata inflators: car in motion hit a large, unexpected, recently fallen tree limb on a public street and rolled over it. The front bumper completely removed and the side airbag went off. However, the front airbag did not deploy causing a visual (ct scan) crack in the driver's sternum. Please note my name is [xxx] and I am writing this on behalf of my mother. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
And around 17,000 miles the car developed an extremely loud squeak that sounded as those it was coming from the dashboard. I took it to the dealer who discovered that were loose bolts from the factory causing the front bumper to squeak. In the process of looking for the squeak they dismantled the dash board. Now the dashboard has come apart around the passenger airbag and cannot be put back to original factory specs. This is an extremely dangerous situation for a passenger in the event of the airbag deployment.
The splash guard/splash shield came loose under the front of my car and started dragging while I was driving down the highway. I pulled over and was able to remove it. The honda dealership says it is unusable and have ordered one to replace it. It will cost $232 for the part and I don't know how much to install it.
Splash guard between front wheels came off while driving down a completely clear freeway and was dragging. Had to drive 15 miles to the nearest exit to buy duct tape, in the process the entire loose side of the splash guard was ruined. No foreign object hit the splash guard.

Parking lever does not feel tight, I can move it side to side. The issue with the seat was present during test drive. I noticed this issue after three month driving the car. I thought need time to adjust to the car
After two trips to the honda dealer, water continues to accumulate on the floor behind the driver seat, whenever the car is driven through heavy rains. We now have another half quart of water on the floor behind the drivers set, and believe there is a serious defect in our 2015 honda fit (a six speed). This much water on the floor can lead to rust, mold, electrical, and mildew/ problems and we feel a need to report the problem we are having. Dealers tend to suggest that car owners are dopes who leave their rear windows open in the rain when this type of thing happens, but that is not the case. We have documentation of our results from the dealer and can provide reports from an independent mechanic if needed. The 2015 fit was redesigned and this may be an early indicator that many more people are going to have similar experiences.
The new car turns out to have been infested with fleas. I did not notice this when I test-drove the car on wednesday, june 11. During the drive home on june 13, I noticed what I though were fruit flies (or some other insect that size and are brown and oblong in shape) on my wrists, which I waved out the window. Later that night, I felt intense itching on my lower legs. I found several above the sock line on each leg. I suspected fleas and confirmed it with flea traps (the flat type with strong adhesive). My wife insisted I take it back to the dealer, but I thought they'd just use a bug/flea bomb and do a worse job of vacuuming than I would do, so I decided to handle it myself with a bug/flea bomb and intense vacuuming for 2 weeks, which seems to have solved the problem. Over the course of the first weekend, before I started the treatment, I eventually got a total of 25 flea bites, mostly on my legs (higher than on the first day as I wore shorts during the weekend drives), but a few on my forearms as well. I have pictures of the bites, if you are interested. I didn't keep the vacuum bags or flea traps, unfortunately. While working to address a possibly related problem about bad smells coming out of the ventilation system (separately reported here and on carcomplaints.com), I learned there was a worker walkout at the mexico-based plant. I wonder if the fleas and rotting meat smell are related to that incident.
Unpleasant smells started coming out of vents in early july 2014 (I purchased the vehicle new on june 13, 2014). They started as smelling like fresh mulch or dog poo, but became more like mold/mildew, sometimes smelling like wet dirty gym socks and getting as bad as smelling like rotting meat. Several attempts (one by me and three by the service department where I'd purchased the vehicle) have been made to correct the problem. Chemical cleaners, replacing the cabin air filter have been done. I have inspected the cowl intakes, cabin air filter and blower box myself and the smells do not emanate from them. I was informed there was a worker walkout at the new mexico-based plant (the real reason for the launch delay in the us from mid-april to mid-june), where the 2015 honda fits for north america are made, and that many vehicles were left standing where they were when the walkout commenced, and the walkout lasted weeks. Someone should investigate this and see what else may have happened to these vehicles while they sat stagnant during the walkout.
When faced with heavy impact the vehicle do not active the air bags. However, the damage of the vehicle were of such magnitude that it broke the transmission, the clutch housing, the front body kit such as fog light , front bumpers and other parts.
