I found somewhere around 29 psi or so, the TPMS will get triggered. It happened when

I agree it shouldn't trigger with a slight temperature difference. But a temperature drop of 15 or 20 degrees will cause a 5 psi loss in my tires. It happens in the summer (I live in Kansas City) fairly often, as well as more often in the spring and fall. But just a minor temperature swing will cause it.

Im an Honda fan, have owned 3... I have to say, after driving the Fit for just 3 months I immediately KNEW this car was sub-par quality for Honda, and that it would not last as long as my others.

My 2002 CRV has 110K miles, and I swear it looks like new. The Fit will never last this long before falling apart. Yes, it is cheaply built, it is an econobox... but I do not feel I paid econobox prices, now knowing the kind of quality Honda put in it... too bad.

Mine was starting to wear and separate as well, so I bought an aftermarket shifter knob from flame ball shifters. Took it ages to get here but thats because each knob is custom machined, tapped and polished by hand. At least it didn't cost me too much, I think it was 26 bucks. Its basically a hollowed-out pool ball (same weight, almost, maybe a little lighter) and it makes the shifting SO much better, more of a direct feel between gears. Best money I've spent on my car in years.

I too have had the same issues, my windshield cracked at the center bottom as other people have complained about. Also my shifter know has come apart like the pix posted. Also add the fact my blower motor resistor failed as others have said tells me there is an Engineering problem with these items. If everybody is having these issues it should be A Honda problem, not mine.
