Worst thing that happened to your Fit?
Rear ending someone who was stopped 20 feet after a yield sign on an under bridge turn around. Thought they were gone, looking back to see if anyone is turning, accelerated, looked forward and there they are, in the middle of the road stopped.
Happened 4 years ago. Fixed now, but just upsetting still.
The Most annoying is my cruise control button not staying down, so can't use cruise control. Some broken piece of plastic or something. Who's idea was that anyway? Wouldn't a toggle switch last longer.

When I first bought my car, I was parking far away from everything and everybody. Your right, parking lots really beat up a car quick.
My wife does a number on the car since she DD's it. The front bumper is chipped and strapped like nobodies business. She's not the best at driving a lowered vehicle.
Hella JDM, lol.

Thats not counting the numerous dents and dings from daily driving and street parking in the city!
This happen last night when the wife was driving it. She avoided a dog and hit the curb. Only damage to the Fit she's totally ok.
Front passenger wheel and tire are toasted. Rear wheel has a chuck out of the wheel. Looks like the front coil over is done as well. Side airbag deployed. It was sad seeing the Fit get towed away.
Insurance company is going to look at it and get back with me tomorrow. They might total it because of the airbag the lady said. I do not think there is that much damage though. Regardless that car is staying with me clean or salvaged title.

When Long John Silvers was having their old fish grease removed by a company that allowed it to spill over and was taken down the alley when it rained hard right after the spill. Our employee parking is right down from LJS. I drove through the grease not knowing it was there because the idiots did not report it so the alley could have been shut down and cleaned up. Since the car is so low to the ground - it got mid-way of the doors, in every little area of the car and smelled like fish grease. Luckily my insurance took care of the intense detailing which was done by my local Honda dealer. They were not sure if the car was going to need to be repainted but they got it all off the body although I still have it showing up on the rims ever so often. Wash those in Dawn and it seems to clean them right up. I have been told by Long John Silver it is the company who allowed it to spill fault but that company called me last week and told me they could not help me! Really - thanks so much for causing several cars to be greased and not taking any responsibility!
Fortunately, I don't live in that area anymore, glad to get away. This was definitely the worst thing that has happened to my Fit. What about any of yours?

Nice new brake rotor!
My wheel rims are rusted and without hubcaps
And I am using budget 35 K mi tires
I got ABS and brake warning lights after starting the car last December; the lights disappered after pressing brake pedal 2 times. The root cause was an old battery
Lesson learned: if your battery is old, turn ignition on and wait 5 seconds before cranking the engine to allow all systems like ABS, airbag and all other bulshit to complete self-test. If you are cranking engine at this time the voltage will go below 9 volts that will set a trouble code with your ABS system.

I rear-end my week old fit back in 2006 with my 1990 CRX. Yep, my brother and I were caravanning both my cars. He was in front. At a stop sign he began to take off but didn't and I didn't pay attention and took off. Low speed but still pushed in my CRX bumper and popped the tow hook cover on the Fit. Put a little indentation on the bumper cover as well. I am never gonna live that down.
Tie between when I ran over a shovel on the freeway that popped up out of nowhere, and my wife's boyfriend sideswiping the front driver's side fender wheelwell when he was helping her move out while we were getting divorced. Other than that my little Fit has been running strong for 8 years! (Watch, now I'm going to wreck it next time I drive it)
I was returning home from the VA Hospital in Temple Texas after an appointment with a dermatologist.. I was there for a skin condition that is a somewhat rare but occurs on Vietnam veterans.. The doctor also found a melanoma on my back and decided to surgically remove it right there in his office... I leave there heading north on I-35 cruising in the bumper to bumper traffic in the left lane at about 90MPH with a one ton Dodge Ram Pickup pulling a 40 foot trailer a foot or so from my rear bumper.. I was already freaking out about the cancer thing and the big truck was way more stress than I could deal with so I moved into the right lane just in time to run over a gator chunked from an 18 wheeler.. The damage estimate was $2000.. I had to cut off the bumper, fender linings and other plastic crap in order to make the 110 mile drive home.. That was in early 2007 so it took weeks for the body shop to get the parts that were to be replaced. That was a very stressful day..
I have to throw my 2 cents in, I brought the car new off the lot, still best car I've ever owned Brand New that is, I had it maybe 3 years when some Dork, decides to slide it's front bumper along side my Right side passenger doors, then slammed their rear door into my rear passenger door, Nice uh, No Note on my car found it when I went to wash it that weekend. then some boob at the accounting office where I got the loan from decided because I missed a payment (I had paid 6 months in advance, so I thought I could miss a payment) the boob towed my car, when took it, they scraped the passenger mirror, 200.00 + to fix, and then now very recently somebody Keyed the rear passenger door. But these fools will never get me down, my FIT is still the best, they're just Jealous .....
