Question What kind of repairs to your Fit have you had to make?

At how many miles?
Did your warranty cover it?
Any common issues that come along with the Fit?

Thanks!

3 years 65k miles 2010 base M/T.

None mechanical, just maintenance.

Paint sucks, that's about my only complaint.

Not really a repair, found out how sensitive the Fit's computer is, I had removed the air filter cover to get access to an emergency brake
cable for my toad, got sidetracked, closed the hood and next day when I tried to drive it, would start and only move a few feet before
stalling, then I remembered my previous days work, opened hood, replaced the cover and it was fixed.

My passenger side door lock squeals when unlocking half the time. It started becoming a nuisance after the 30k mark.

4yrs 57K A/C issue last week (freezing evaporator). $275 to fix. Seems to be common. Otherwise just normal maintenance (well two bumper covers but I don't think I can blame the car).

5 years, 135k.

Umm, regular maintenance, and recalls/TSB's, and the drivers side tail light( shopping cart) along with repainting the quarter panel in front of it(again shopping cart), the quarter panel needs repainted because of the half ass job they did, I refused to pay or let them "fix" it.

She's all OEM factory, aside from brakes, tires, plugs, filters and DS tail light.

'08 A/T @ 70k+ miles, normal maintenance stuff other than a 3rd gear solenoid sw (A/T)

At how many miles?
Per maintenance schedule

Did your warranty cover it?
Bought used, no coverage other than TSBs

Any common issues that come along with the Fit?
Tend to frown when accelerating then smile when filling up at the gas station or loading up stuff in the car.

Haha yes! I just filled my tank for the first time on Sunday night. Only spent 30 bucks! So stoked! Vs. spending close to 60 with my 2000 Accord V6.

Ha, I'm the same boat. My first fillup was 29 bucks. Much easier on the wallet than either of my Camaros. The money I save on gas puts a huge dent in that car payment.

Anyone know how much the stock wheels weigh? I am looking into getting some shoes of my own. I really want the Mugen NR Racing White.

My '09 is coming up to 100k. Driver's side door got caught in the Newfoundland wind leading to an expensive repair. The car also burns 2 quarts of oil every 10k. Fog lights were bashed out in the first year and remain that way (AC condenser is protected by gutter guard). Other than these and two sets of tires, 3 engine air filters, about 6 cabin air filters, 4 sets of wiper inserts, and the LMS recall, all's been just fine. Oh, and two windshields. I'll have them change the plugs, coolant, brake fluid and pads next major service.

LMS recall on my 09 and replaced a cracked / seeping CV boot. Honda paid for both.

TPMS is very sensitive, check your tire pressure...you shouldn't need to go to the dealer.

That stands for the letter TPMS light, not just the low pressure indicator?

I dont really understand what your'e asking, but "TPMS" - Tire Pressure Monitoring System


Just make sure your'e between 34-36 PSI I believe.

Sometimes the PSI will fluctuate depending on the temperature as well.

There's two indicators for the system. One is the low pressure indicator, the other is a light that says the letters TPMS. The one that is the letters is lit up constantly, not the low pressure indicator.
