All honda fits have a massive water penatration issue. Water leaks from even small amounts of water from rear lift hatch from cracks in the weld seems an into car along inside on both sides in to the wheel well with spar tire. This causes high humidity and consequently massive damageing moister and rusting inside. Found to compromise electrical for tail lights and Hazzard lights. Also causeing massive sweating of water vapor that leads to obscure of ability to see through rear window and through all windows. Also massive threat to elderly and children and immune compromised people because toxic mold growth is likely to form. Honda refuses to repair say they don't care how many die because of issue. Children almost killed due to inability to see through rear window.

Water enters the car excessively whenever it rains. When researching the issue online, I discovered that many fit owners have the same issue. It appears that water comes in around the windows and the plastic sheeting inside the door compartment isn't sealed correctly, so instead of shedding the water to outside of the car it allows the water to enter the vehicle around the rear speakers. I'm not sure yet how it is getting into the hatch area. I typically have my rear seats down, so I didn't notice the two inches of standing water in my backseat. Further investigation LED me to find two inches in the spare tire compartment as well. Judging by the rust disintegrated jack in the spare tire compartment, this has been happening for quite some time. My rear seat, carpet, and carpet pad have been soaked for so long that when I was vacuuming the water out of the car today, I saw white mold growing along the top of my rear seats. I'm sure the car is loaded with mold and possibly needs to be totaled due to this issue. This now presents major health risks.

Right half shaft failed due to salty winter road water entering the area between the shaft damper and the shaft, gradually corroding the shaft until there was no longer enough sound metal left to transmit torque to the wheel. The shaft failed while leaving a stoplight; if it had failed at highway speed, it likely would have been disastrous. From what I can find on a honda fit forum, this seems to be a fairly frequent failure mode for both fits and civics. I have three other photos of the failed half shaft, but they are a bit too large to upload. I also retained the failed part.

My 2007 honda fit sport (automatic) has had a trunk leak for years. I had noticed wet carpeting behind the passenger side seat but assumed it was from wet shoes after rainfall. It turns out that this is in fact a failure in the window/door seal in the rear passenger side door. The car had begun to develop an odor which, when I checked today, has turned into mold. We can't drive the car at all because of fears of inhaling mold spores. I had checked the fitfreak.net website and it seems that this is an extremely common issue among fit owners. Why has this not been addressed? My car is worthless unless this can be fixed and the mold totally removed. It doesn't matter whether the car is moving or stationary: water will seep in from the frame, wet the carpet, and produce mold.
