Complaint
2009
STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PAINT ON MY CAR HAS EITHER NOT CURED CORRECTLY AT THE FACTORY, OR IS TOO SOFT. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MONTHS THE PAINT IS CHIPPING OFF AND THE CAR LOOKS WORSE THAN MY 7 YEAR OLD HONDA ACCORD. THIS IS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN, BUT WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE THE CAR TO RUST VERY SOON. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AFTER 6 MONTHS OF DRIVING. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND ALMOST ALL FIT OWNERS ARE NOTICING THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THE PAINT ON THE CAR THAT WILL CAUSE THE BODY OF THE CAR TO START TO RUST VERY QUICKLY. *TR

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
VEHICLE PARKED DURING RAIN EVENT, NOTED HEAVY LEAKAGE INTO SPARE TIRE WELL AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR FLOORBOARDS. IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM MULTIPLE SOURCES. WINDOWS HEAVILY FOGGED/ICED UP FROM MOISTURE IN CABIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE THIS MONTH. SECURED DEALER APPOINTMENT, BUT WHEN I ARRIVED I WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT IN WHEN THEIR LEAK SPECIALIST IS AT THE SHOP (WHY DOES HONDA HAVE A REGULARLY-SCHEDULED LEAK SPECIALIST??). I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR THAT LEAKED WATER. THE FIT NOW HAS RUSTY METAL PARTS, WET CARPET, AND POSSIBLY DAMAGED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM WATER INFILTRATION. *TR
