Lets keep it Alive!!!!
I've had that occur to me over the years. Typically it's because someone is leaning on the door/side of the vehicle. Once they move it shut off. I think it's to prevent the deployment of the side curtain and side airbags if there is someone in the way of the deployment (which would likely further injure the individual in an accident).
That's something I can ask Honda.

Just spoke with a service adviser since i had to take my car into the shop for a year old recall.
He suggests that radio/electronic interference may cause intermittent warnings to flash off-on, but because it doesn't occur frequently enough, it'll be impossible for them to diagnose. He suggested my radar detector, cellphone, aftermarket stereo or any other electronic devices can cause this interference.
Trying to recall the few times it has occurred to me, I had a friend sleeping on the door, another friend leaning on the door, and another time i was leaning on my door pretty hard cause I was hella pissed/tired in LA traffic (who wouldn't be. haha).

I filed a report with the NHTSA, American Honda, and had it tested and documented at a dealership. They couldn't really replicate my issue but if something happens again, at least they have it on documentation that I had experienced this issue before. This is probably something I should have done ages ago when I first started feeling the system acting up.
Part of the issue that may have contributed to excessive/prolonged ABS activation was my tire pressure. I don't know exactly how, but apparently my pressure was WAY high...which for this light-weight car probably reduced a lot of tire contact with the road. So that's my bad for not accurately checking my tire pressure.
On a positive note, I finally got my low beam recall fixed - tho they didn't have to change any parts out. haha.
I'll still need to get my hood straightened out tho...i can't stand the gaps!

That good you have it filed and documented with Honda. I never got around doing that low beam recall...

the recall is whatever...they just check to see if any of the cables were too "taught" during initial factory installation...I doubt they replaced any parts for any of the Fits that were taken in for this recall - unless the owner had abused the switch in the first place.
anyone recommend any decent and cheap paint and ding removal places? i was thinking about going to a one day paint place since i have a car with failing clear coat (not the fit) and just have decent paint. has anyone been to a one day paint place? any experiences on it?
