Both airbags need replacement . May want to consider getting a self driving car so you can sit in the backseat if the both front airbags are defective .

after 10 fillups I am averaging 20.9mpg in mixed driving. I am in the middle of an experiment driving around 65mph and my on EVIC mpg is saying 26mpg. Obviously that is off as they usually are, but even if it was off by 4mpg, 22 is still impressive.


I LOVE the truck. So much so that in 2 years I am going to be trading in the Fit for a truck. Whether or not I stay with Honda all depends on how I feel about the new Ridgeline. I am pretty impressed with the MPG of the Hemi as well as the power it has when needed.


if it wasn't for this recall, I never would have entertained a Truck... so for that I thank Honda

Got a call this morning that my airbag was in. wish I was off from work or I would have got it done today. Ugh I should have called in. Anyways scheduled for Friday they scheduled a tow for it on Friday 9am.

I've had my rental since March. Going to ask for an oil change Aswell. And I'm sure there's going to be some recommendations for change in my car.

Just picked up my '13 Fit and man did I missed it. So much head room compared to the '16 Hyundai Accent they loaned me although the Accent's engine is more quiet.

Glad to hear that some of you are getting your car back now. Dealer has had my Fit since 5/13 and I'm anxious to get it back. So far I've had a Toyota Corolla and a Fiat 500 for rentals (on Honda).

I just re-signed my Enterprise loaner yesterday (day 50). My fit has been sitting since 5/6/16.... still thinking a few months away.


We are going on a Route 66 road trip and I am totally excited to take the Ram 1500 Hemi


Honda, please fix others vehicles before mine.... seriously other deserve their car back first

Airbags Disabled

Can the front airbags on a Honda Fit be disabled if the repair parts are not available at the dealership. Toyota is doing this until the parts become available.
