MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CV AXEL FAILED A YEAR AGO. MIRACULOUSLY IT HAPPENED IN THE PARKING LOT OF A SERVICE STATION WHO THEN DID THE REPAIR SO I DIDN’T NEED A TOW. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN. WHEN I GOT TOWED I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE TOWING HONDA FITS REGULARLY SO IT IS LIKELY DUE TO A DESIGN PROBLEM. LUCKILY I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT TURN INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT FROM A BUSY BUSINESS STREET (VT STATE HIGHWAY 302) WHEN THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND I COULD NOT GET IT INTO GEAR. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY DANGEROUS IF IT FAILED AT HIGHER SPEED AND/OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A ON BUSY ROAD.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 HONDA FIT FROM DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING, TEXAS. WE HAVE THE CAR SERVICED AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING ALSO. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE KEY LOCKS ON THIS CAR. THE FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED AT 37746 MILES. THE KEY WOULD GO ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK AND THEN WOULD JAM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK CYLINDER. (SEE ATTACHMENT ONE TO THIS LETTER FOR THE DEALER INVOICE). AT APPROXIMATELY 54000 MILES THE SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE LOCK. THE CIRCUMSTANCES WERE SIMILAR TO EARLIER FAILURE. I CALLED MY DAVID MCDAVID ADVISOR TO SEE WHETHER THE LOCK CYLINDER WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. HE TOLD ME THAT SINCE 12 MONTHS AND 12,000 MILES HAD PASSED THAT I HAD NO WARRANTY ON THE PART. I THEN WENT TO CAR TOYS LOCATED IN IRVING TO SEE WHETHER THEY COULD PUT A KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM IN THE HONDA FIT. AFTER THEIR POSITIVE ASSURANCE, I HAD THEIR SYSTEM PUT IN THE CAR. (SEE ATTACHMENT TWO TO THIS LETTER FOR CAR TOYS INVOICE DATED SEPTEMBER 10, 2018). ON JUNE 27, 2019, MY WIFE WENT TO STORE AND WHEN SHE RETURNED TO THE CAR, THE KEY WOULD ONLY GO HALF WAY INTO THE IGNITION AND THEN JAM. I WENT TO WHERE THE CAR WAS LOCATED AND TRIED TO GET THE KEY TO WORK. I HAD NO LUCK AND AFTER DISCUSSING WITH ADVISOR AT DAVID MCDAVID HONDA IN IRVING, I HIRED A WRECKER TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. MILEAGE ON THE CAR WAS 59439. (SEE ATTACHMENT THREE TO THIS LETTER FOR THE DEALER INVOICE). I HAVE SPENT $1858.58 ON THIS KEY LOCK ISSUE AS FOLLOWS: DATE COMPANY MILEAGE ON CAR APR 18, 2016 DAVID MCDAVID HONDA 37746 SEP 10, 2018 CAR TOYS APPROX 54000 JUNE 26, 2019 DAVID MCDAVID HONDA 59349

WHILE STEERING ON THE ROAD (IN MOTION), OUR 2010 HONDA FIT SUDDENLY JERKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE TURN, LEADING TO A NUMBER OF NEAR-MISS ACCIDENTS. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED IN FALL OF 2018. DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SAYS THE ELECTRONIC STEERING RACK AND BOX ARE "BAD" AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2400. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY SORT OF ACCIDENT OR CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT, AND THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS (LIKE TIE ROD ENDS) -- IT'S JUST THE STEERING THAT IS SUDDENLY UNRELIABLE.

THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY FREEZES UP, FOR ABOUT A SECOND, AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON DURING OR AFTER THESE EVENTS. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS BEEN NOTICED WHILE MAKING TURNS, WHICH IS VERY UNSETTLING. I NO LONGER TRUST THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY, AND NOW FEEL THE NEED TO LEAVE A VERY LARGE DISTANCE WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ANY ONCOMING CAR. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY MORE, FOR FEAR OF HER SAFETY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR AN EPS FAILURE FOR HONDA FITS OF PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE 2010 MODEL YEAR.

MY ISSUE IS WITH THE QUICKLY DEGRADING PAINT JOB ON MY VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE NOTHING DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED, AND I AM PARKED IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX PARKING LOT WHERE ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS CARS ARE NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES. THE ONLY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT WITH PAINT DEGRADATION COMPARABLE TO MY CAR IS A BLUE 1999 HONDA CIVIC, BUT IT LOOKS MUCH BETTER THAN MY '10 FIT. JUST TO REITERATE, WE ARE PARKED IN THE SAME PARKING LOT WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF SUN AND ELEMENTAL EXPOSURE. AFTER LOOKING TO SEE IF MY VIN WAS LISTED UNDER CURRENT HONDA CAMPAIGNS, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS NOT LISTED. HOWEVER, A FRIEND POINTED OUT AN ONGOING CAMPAIGN FOR 2006-2013 CIVICS WITH EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTIES. THE CIVICS INCLUDED ARE ALL IN THE DARK BLUE OR BLACK COLOR FAMILY, WHICH IS THE SAME AS MY FIT. I LOOKED UP PHOTOS OF THE PAINT DEGRADATION ON THESE CIVICS, AND NOT ONLY ARE THE PAINT COLORS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME, BUT THE DEGRADATION IS IN THE SAME AREAS AS THAT OF MY FIT. THE ROOF AND HOOD ARE THE TWO BIGGEST PROBLEM AREAS, AND THE CAMPAIGN LISTS ROOF, TRUNK, HOOD, UPPER PORTION OF THE DOORS, AND UPPER PORTIONS OF THE QUARTER PANELS. THE DEGRADATION DESCRIBED ON THE CIVICS IS A CHALKY OR CLOUDY APPEARANCE, EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY CAR'S CURRENT APPEARANCE. NOW, JUST TO SUM THINGS UP: 1. MY CAR IS IN THE YEAR RANGE OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 2. MY CAR IS THE SAME PAINT COLOR FAMILY AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 3. MY CAR HAS THE SAME AREAS OF DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS, INCLUDING THE HOOD, THE ROOF, AND THE UPPER PORTIONS OF THE DOORS. 4. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF CHALKY, CLOUDY, OXIDIZED DEGRADATION AS THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS. 5. I AM NOT THE ONLY HONDA FIT OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE. 6. MY CAR STARTED DEGRADING WELL INSIDE THE 7 YEAR EXTENDED PAINT WARRANTY PERIOD GIVEN TO OWNERS OF THE CAMPAIGNED CIVICS.
