NHTSA Complaint #10663242 — 2015 HONDA FIT

AFTER TWO TRIPS TO THE HONDA DEALER, WATER CONTINUES TO ACCUMULATE ON THE FLOOR BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT, WHENEVER THE CAR IS DRIVEN THROUGH HEAVY RAINS. WE NOW HAVE ANOTHER HALF QUART OF WATER ON THE FLOOR BEHIND THE DRIVERS SET, AND BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN OUR 2015 HONDA FIT (A SIX SPEED). THIS MUCH WATER ON THE FLOOR CAN LEAD TO RUST, MOLD, ELECTRICAL, AND MILDEW/ PROBLEMS AND WE FEEL A NEED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING. DEALERS TEND TO SUGGEST THAT CAR OWNERS ARE DOPES WHO LEAVE THEIR REAR WINDOWS OPEN IN THE RAIN WHEN THIS TYPE OF THING HAPPENS, BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. WE HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF OUR RESULTS FROM THE DEALER AND CAN PROVIDE REPORTS FROM AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IF NEEDED. THE 2015 FIT WAS REDESIGNED AND THIS MAY BE AN EARLY INDICATOR THAT MANY MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR
