Honda Fit Unknown Or Other Safety Report | Feb 20, 2011
Reported on Feb 20, 2011
| WHILE DRIVING 2011 HONDA FIT IN THE HIGHWAY A SMALL PEBBLE HIT LOWER DRIVER SIDE OF FRONT WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK (CRACK IS ABOUT 20 INCHES LONG). WINDSHIELD MAY BE TOO THIN OR DEFECTIVE, BECAUSE UNDER REGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES THE WINDSHIELD WOULDN'T CRACK (SMALL PEBBLES USUALLY CHIP THE WINDSHIELD), I DID AN INTERNET SEARCH TO FIND OUT IF THERE WERE ANY PUBLIC CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL (HONDA FIT) AND I FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING, PARTICULARLY IF THE OBJECT HITTING THE WINDSHIELD IS BIGGER THAN A PEBBLE; CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO CRACK, THEREFORE REDUCING VISIBILITY TO THE DRIVER. | |
