I had the Driver's dash rattle. Dealer fixed it up no problem. For those who got the MPG computer adjusted, how much documentation did you have?

 

This is probably best answered in one of the other threads on the MPG update, but it largely depends on the dealer/service manager.

For my Fit, I went to the dealer, told them the MPG calculation was off -- the service adviser just said, yea, they're like that, there's no fix for it. I showed him my spreadsheet, gave him the TSB number, and suggested that maybe that would help. The service adviser didn't really look at the spreadsheet I gave him.

In other people's experiences, the service advisers asked for some documentation of the mileage discrepancy.

 

sweet! going to get my MPG calculator fixed this week.

 

I can't believe I just finally saw this thread...

 

Thanks so much for this thread!!! I just had my blower motor go out (on speeds 1 through 3 but not 4). I called the dealer and took it in today. They told me they had ordered a blower motor and resistor, because there was a TSB on this. I searched FitFreak and found this thread. Now I see that there is FINALLY a TSB on the MPG gauge. And, I also found the one on the fuel fill door. I thought I had lost my "touch"--I have to try about 7 times before the fuel fill door will open. Now I know there's a problem with it. I think when they call to tell me my blower motor is in, I'll ask them to fix the MPG gauge and the fuel fill door at the same time. My car's still under warranty, so it's all free.

Thanks again. Very informative thread.

 

Just wanted to share that you are my hero!
My local Honda service is downright ignorant. I took my car in for a failed HVAC fan issue and they apparently failed to recognize there is a TSB on it. They are only doing half the fix. I also asked them to update the mpg and they said they couldn't find the TSB on that either--literally asked me to to bring back the number for them. Third, I mentioned the rattle in the dash and was told not to worry about rattles, they come and go and can't be pinned down. I'm printing these three TSB and taking them in tomorrow. *sigh* I wish there was another Honda service within 30 miles of me...

 

this thread is great. i have the same problems with ignorant service guys in my area.

Updates! This is all reflected in the first post, I'm just posting here in case anybody's subscribed.

Driver’s or Front Passenger’s Seat Rattles or Clunks When It’s Moved Forward or Backward, or When Driving Over Bumps (2010 Fits)

Driver’s Front Window Regulator Grinds, Rattles, or Does Not Work (2009 Fits) -- this isn't the window rattles when it's down problem, I don't think...

 

I had the underdash rattle. Thanks to this thread, I was able to show
the service guys what they needed to do.

 

Great! I knew the fuel economy was off from my calculations since day one. Glad to see there is a fix. Has anyone tried to get the MPG (L/100km) calc fix done in Canada?

 

None, I just told them to do it and they complied.

 

I'd like to get my passenger seat pocket fixed some time as well, thanks for sharing these. Nice to know that's covered, I was pissed at myself when it happened.

 

wow this is nice thanks !

 

yes, i tried, but they acted like they didn't know what it was, even though i presented them with a printout of the TSB. they said that it was only for the US and that they didn't have one for canada yet and blah blah blah... my eyes glazed over and i left. this was over a year ago though so things may have changed by now.

 

I got a 07 Honda fit sport just got a recall on the head light WTF is this about

 

Thanks to all who helped direct us to this fix. But also found out FSB 09-086 Ain't necessarily so. Heads UP for this FSB (09-086) adjustment. May need to go to Program ID #P3A530 instead for some models of FITs even tho the FSB says it is for all models.

Just took my '09 FIT basic w A/T into Penske Honda in north Indy for the MPG (FSB 09-086) update. Penske's tech and service mgr could not get the car's ECU to accept any of the 4 software versions given in this FSB. They went looking further in the Honda database and found Program ID #P3A530 which was accepted by the ECU. While driving home I watched the MPG readout and it is definitely now adjusted down by 10% and much more accurate.

 

I heard on the radio today about a Fit recall to replace a spring that may cause the car to stall. Anybody know about this?

 

I just read the same here:

Honda to recall 97,000 Fit subcompact cars - Feb. 17, 2011

That sucks i guess i have to get the letter before i go to the dealer
