Spark plug #3 was missing a piece. the metal hook on the base. the damaged/faulty spark plug caused the car to stall. the car would be unable to go above 20 mph. this first happened when i was accelerating on the entrance ramp to the highway, causing a highly unsafe situation.
Takata recall: this issue was given at least 2 years ago. i have called hall's honda in va beach, va several times especially during the 1st year it was recalled. i was always told that the part was not available. i can again when i received a letter from dmv. i was told a certain person would call me back, and he never did.9/15
Supplemental restraint system indicator (srs) sensor is lit on dashboard of my 2012 honda fit and will not go off. i purchased this car brand new in june 2012. has been on constantly while driving since may 25, 2016. today is may 30, 2016. after researching this problem, i discovered i am not alone as many other honda owners have reported experiencing this exact same problem. owners manual says that the srs light means there is a problem ranging from seat belt buckle tension to the side and curtain airbags harness restraints. research also states that air bags will not activate during accidents while this srs is lit. something honda left out of owners manual. another problem i read reports about from other honda owners, after having their srs light checked by a honda dealer, was this could mean a defective occupant position sensor and is very costly to replace. also found during research that there is a campaign against honda for the recall of the defective occupant position sensor. don"t know if this srs light problem has anything to do with the current takata airbag recall, but would be very interested to know if there was a link. i will be taking my car to the honda dealer where purchased asap to have my srs light problem checked. in the meantime i certainly hope no one runs into me.
From the first year the fits front light covers are so scratched from nature visabity when driving at night is dangerous. i have had them buffed and shined with the same result happening. the factory tint is so bubbled and faded disability out of the rear window is a safety hazard. the paint on the roof and hood looks like it has completely faded off and they continue to get worse. i inquired at year 3 about these issues and was told it is not warranted.that i could pay someone to replace the tent, headlight covers and get it repainted.it is very hard to see put if the window and at night with the headlights.
