Paint is chalking and cracking off my hood and roof. Started noticing in March 2017. Asked Honda service center about it and after sending me to a paint specialist to get it looked at/paint job estimate and being told it looked exactly like the paint issues Honda civics are experiencing, Honda service center manager told me it was 'normal wear and tear' and they would not help me.

My issue is with the quickly degrading paint job on my vehicle. I have done nothing different from any other car I have owned, and I am parked in an apartment complex parking lot where all of my neighbors cars are not having any issues. The only car in the parking lot with paint degradation comparable to my car is a blue 1999 Honda civic, but it looks much better than my '10 Fit. Just to reiterate, we are parked in the same parking lot with the same amount of sun and elemental exposure. After looking to see if my VIN was listed under current Honda campaigns, I have found that it is not listed. However, a friend pointed out an ongoing campaign for 2006-2013 civics with extended paint warranties. The civics included are all in the dark blue or black color family, which is the same as my Fit. I looked up photos of the paint degradation on these civics, and not only are the paint colors almost exactly the same, but the degradation is in the same areas as that of my Fit. The roof and hood are the two biggest problem areas, and the campaign lists roof, trunk, hood, upper portion of the doors, and upper portions of the quarter panels. The degradation described on the civics is a chalky or cloudy appearance, exactly the same as my car's current appearance. Now, just to sum things up: 1. my car is in the year range of the campaigned civics. 2. my car is the same paint color family as the campaigned civics. 3. my car has the same areas of degradation as the campaigned civics, including the hood, the roof, and the upper portions of the doors. 4. my car has the exact same type of chalky, cloudy, oxidized degradation as the campaigned civics. 5. I am not the only Honda Fit owner with this problem. It is well documented online. 6. my car started degrading well inside the 7 year extended paint warranty period given to owners of the campaigned civics.

Clear coat and paint on the Honda Fit are defective. Peeling began after about 3 1/2 years of ownership. There are large patches of missing paint on the roof and a patch on the hood.

My daughter had an accident, this is her account: I was driving my 2010 Honda Fit on highway 880 northbound in the vicinity of alameda on Friday, January 16th 2015. I had been driving for at least a half hour on the highway and was in the left most lane going about 70 mph. Suddenly without any warning my car began to swerve violently to the right into the lane to my right. My first thought was that one of the tires had blown out, so I took my foot off the gas and did not touch the brakes, thinking just that I should try to keep the car away from other vehicles and as gently as I could bring it to the side of the road away from traffic. Immediately after the first swerve, the car did not react in the slightest to my steering attempts to keep it straight or away from traffic, and it swerved left and right a couple more times before hitting the concrete median on the left hand side of the highway. The front of the car crunched into the median, and the whole car flipped on its passenger side and scraped against the median before finally coming to a halt upside down. Once the car stopped I saw that miraculously nothing inside of the car was impeding my exit, and the glass on both the windows had completely shattered, so I undid my seatbelt and crawled out of the passenger side window and immediately stood up. Thankfully no other cars or passengers were involved, 911 was called, and the policeman who came said the incident sounded like it was due to tire damage from my description but then examined the wheels of the car and reported that he didn"T see anything awry with them, leaving the cause of the accident a mystery. I heard no sounds preceding the swerving, smelled no strange smells, noticed nothing strange about the car?S steering, and have had no indication whatsoever of anything being ?off" with the car before the incident.
