Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE BACK WINDOW ON 2010 FIT SPORT HATCHBACK DID NOT HAVE ANY PREVIOUS DAMAGE. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. WHEN I GOT IN AND SHUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, THE BACK WINDOW SHATTERED BEFORE I HAD EVEN STARTED THE IGNITION.. THE CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE OR CRACKS/CHIPS OF ANY KIND. THE ENITRE BACK WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED.
HONDA FIT WINDSHIELDS DEVELOP CRACKS WITH MINOR OR EVEN NO IMPACT! THERE IS A GROWING NUMBER OF REPORTS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS. THIS IS OUR SECOND CRACKED WINDSHIELD WE FOUND WHEN GETTING INTO THE CAR IN THE MORNING. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE CLOSING THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED. THE CONTACT STATED SUSTAINED CUTS TO HER FINGERS AND BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000.
LONG STRESS FRACTURE IN THE WINDSHIELD, STARTING FROM EDGE ON PASSENGER'S SIDE AND EXTENDING FOR ABOUT 2 FEET TOWARDS THE CENTER. FRACTURE APPEARED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, AND THERE WAS NO CHIP, HENCE WAS NOT CAUSED BY A STONE. THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT SHATTER, THOUGH IN RESEARCHING ONLINE, FOUND THAT MANY OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE FRACTURE APPEARING WITH NO OBVIOUS CAUSE, AND IN SOME CASES ON CARS THAT HAD ONLY RECENTLY BEEN PURCHASED. THE DEALER REPLACED FOR FREE UNDER WARRANTY, THOUGH OTHERS ONLINE REPORTED THAT DEALERS TRIED TO ARGUE THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A STONE. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR, AND I'M CONCERNED IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN, AND THAT THERE IS A RISK THAT THE SCREEN COULD SHATTER OR SEPARATE AT THE CRACK WHILE SHE IS DRIVING, HENCE CAUSING A MAJOR DRIVING HAZARD AND POSSIBLE CRASH.
I WAS SITTING IN THE PARKED CAR LISTENING TO THE RADIO BEFORE WORK WHEN I SAW A FOOT LONG CRACK FORM HALF WAY UP THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD HORIZONTALLY TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS PRACTICALLY NO PEOPLE OR CARS AROUND AND IT WAS A CLEAN STRAIGHT LINE CRACK. I FOUND AN ONLINE FORUM ON EDMUNDS.COM WHERE THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE HAVING STRESS CRACK ISSUES WITH THEIR FIT WINDSHIELDS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CHIP IN THE CRACK ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PINHEAD, 2 INCHES IN FROM THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THEY CLAIMED A STONE HIT THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CHIP AND SUGGESTED CONTRACTION EXPANSION OF THE GLASS CAUSED THE CRACK. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE DAMAGES UNDER WARRANTY. A PHONE CALL TO HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMED NO REPORTS OF ISSUES WITH FIT WINDSHIELDS AND ALSO REFUSED WARRANTY COVERAGE EVEN AFTER MENTIONING THE ONLINE FORUM. *TR
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND A CRESCENT-SHAPED CRACK APPEARED ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE DRIVER'S HEAT VENT, RUNS UP APPROX 6 INCHES AND GOES OVER ABOUT 18 INCHES TO THE OTHER HEAT VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 20 DEGREES, HEATER WAS ON. A QUICK SEARCH OF WEB LOGS INDICATES NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (SEE EDMONDS.COM). *TR
