OK now this is scarring me. I sold a Toyota Echo because of very similar fragile suspension issues. Now I see Fit doing it too?

Tell me that pot hole would have also racked up a CRV and I will not feel bad but if Fit is easily prone to underpinning damage from road issues...Might be time to rethink my pending nuptial.

I feel for you bro!! But did you even think to divert ahead?? You must've seen it in advance and changed lane or something,Unless you were going at a certain speed then it would've been to late.

Hope you get it reimbursed tho.

Good Luck !!!

i was driving at about 25-30 mph, at 11:30pm at night, and a truck was doubled parked a couple feet before it, i went around the truck and i didn't really pay attention until i got almost right in front of it, and i tried to swerve, and then the edge of the wheel caught onto the edge of the pothole, i think...i'm starting to believe if i didn't swerve, i would have made it fine with just a scratched lip
