Honda Fit Electrical System Safety Report | May 02, 2011
Reported on May 02, 2011
| MY HONDA WAS IN A 2010 RECALL FOR DOOR PANEL WIRING FAILURE. A HEAT SHIELD WAS INSTALLED. THIS YEAR THE DOOR PANEL MELTED A LITTLE OVER A MONTHS TIME. HONDA HAD ME BRING IN MY CAR,SAID THEY WOULD TAKE PICTURES AND CONSULT WITH HONDA ENGINEERS. THEIR CONCLUSION: MUST HAVE BEEN VANDALISM BY CIGARETTE LIGHTER OR SOMETHING STRANGE AS THE HEAT SHIELD WAS FINE AND THERE IS NO WIRING IN THE DOOR THAT OPERATES WINDOWS, LOCKS OR SPEAKERS (WHERE THE MELTS ARE). IF I PURCHASE A NEW DOOR PANEL FOR $250.00 THEY WILL DO THE LABOR FOR FREE. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO OTHER COMPLAINTS, EVER. NOT ONE PERSON WHO HAS SEEN THE PANEL BELIEVES IT. | |
