AFTER I'D HAD THE CAR ABOUT A YEAR, SUDDENLY THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT STARTED LOCKING UP AND PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO MOVE. THIS IS ONGOING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I LEAN FORWARD ONLY SLIGHTLY. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE IT IS TO PRESS INTO THE BACK OF THE SEAT, BUT SOMETIMES THE BELT CONTINUES TO LOCK UP EVERY TIME I PRESS BACK, TO THE POINT THAT THERE IS NO MORE ROOM TO RELEASE THE TENSION ON THE BELT. AT THIS POINT I JUST HAVE TO TAKE THE BELT OFF, WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS OVERLY-SENSITIVE LOCKING MECHANISM HAS BECOME A HAZARD WHEN I'M IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO QUICKLY CHECK OVER MY SHOULDER BEFORE CHANGING LANES. I HAVE TO LEAN FORWARD IN ORDER TO SEE AROUND THE HEADREST, BUT I GET TRAPPED AGAINST THE SEAT. AGAIN, I HAVE HAD TO UNFASTEN THE BELT IN ORDER TO GAIN THE MOBILITY...
WINDSHIELD CRACKED ON ITS OWN WHILE PARKED, STARTING FROM THE CENTER OF COWL AND CRAWLING UP TOWARD THE ROOF LINE. HONDA HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THERE THAT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE ( 12-006 ) FOR 2009-2010 HONDA FIT BUT WILL ONLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE IF THE CRACK OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY (ACCORDING TO HONDA DEALER). THE CRACK ON MY CAR HAPPENED FEW DAYS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND WAS NOT COVERED. I CONSIDER THE CRACKING TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD FEEL THAT THE CRACKED AREA WAS TRYING TO BOW OUTWARD AND DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AT ANY MAJOR SPEED. I REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY OUT-OF-POCKET. IF HONDA RECOGNIZES THAT 2009-2010 HONDA FIT HAS WINDSHIELD CRACK ISSUES DUE TO MISAPPLIED MOLDING OR OTHER DEFECTS INHERENT TO THE CAR AND NOT DUE TO...
