Consumer Description

RE: 2008 HONDA FIT SPORT - A FEW WEEKS AFTER HAVING THE HEADLIGHT SAFETY RECALL FOR 2007-08 HONDA FIT VEHICLES FROM HONDA SERVICE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE WE STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD COME ON WHEN THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WAS ACTIVATED WHILE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. HONDA DIAGNOSED AS THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BEING DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH UNDER WARRANTY. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE NEW HEADLIGHT SWITCH BEGAN DISPLAYING THE SAME ISSUE; WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON, USING THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL WOULD ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAMS. HONDA HAS NOW DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE ONCE AGAIN AS THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH BEING DEFECTIVE. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY IN A FEW WEEKS. HAVE CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA AND OPENED A CASE ON THE ONGOING ISSUE. THINK THAT THEIR MAY BE A LARGE NUMBER OF DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT HEADLIGHT/TURN SIGNAL SWITCHES CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR SERVICE. THIS WILL BE THE THIRD HEADLIGHT SWITCH THE VEHICLE HAS HAD. *TR
