Honda Fit Exterior Lighting Safety Report | Sept 27, 2011
Reported on Sept 27, 2011
| THE BOTH OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND THE FOG LIGHT FAILED TO LIGHT UP WITHOUT WARNING AT NIGHT AROUND 8:30PM. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE RECENTLY AND I HAD ALREADY BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALER TO HAVE THEM PERFORM THE RECALL REMEDY PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS SHORTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER TOLD IT WAS NOT RECALL RELATED AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ISSUE. HAVING HEADLIGHT FAILURE SUDDENLY AT NIGHT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I FEEL THAT THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED DID NOT RECTIFY THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT | |
