2007 HONDA FIT Exterior Lighting Problems

Headlights and taillights have gone out. Replaced bulbs and fuses. Brakelights and highbeams still functional Faulty relay most likely as a similar problem was already found on the 2002 Honda civic.

Both front headlights fail to work. They went out at the same time. Using high beams to drive after dark in the meantime.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH at night, he was unable to see the road clearly due to the headlights being cloudy. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

Mileage: 90,000

HEADLIGHTS DO NOT WORK ON LOW BEAM...HIGH BEAM ONLY. HAD A MECHANIC WORK ON IT, BUT DID NOT FIX IT. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2007 HONDA FITS BECAUSE OF POOR WIRING RUBBING AGAINST METAL AND LIGHTS DON'T WORK.

2007 HONDA FIT HEADLIGHT RECALL, THEY FIXED THE ISSUE IN 2011 BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND ONE HONDA DEALERSHIP SAID THERE'S NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO???? IS THERE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN AS PART OF THE RECALL.IT DOESN'T SEEM IT WAS FIXED RIGHT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS FOR VISIBILITY. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT DEFECT MAY BE RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V624000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL, DESPITE THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

ESKRIDGE HONDA (1030 SW 74TH, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V624000 (EXTEROIR LIGHTING) WAS COMPLETED IN 2012. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHT WIRING HARNESS/SWITCH CORRODING OR MELTING CAUSING THE HEAD LIGHTS TO TURN OFF INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT COME ON AT ALL. THEY HAVE SENT A RECALL FOR CERTAIN VINS FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, BUT NOT FOR ALL 2007-2008 FITS. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MY VEHICLE AT ONLY 75,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT IS NOT REMEDYING THE SITUATION ON ALL 2007-2008 FITS, ONLY SPECIFIC VINS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PRACTICE, DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THESE VINS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME RECALL FOR THE OTHER 2007-08 VINS.

Mileage: 75,000

IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS THE RECALL PROBLEM #10V624000, HOWEVER, MY VIN ISN'T LISTED ON RECALL INFO SITE. MY LOW BEAMS ARE NOT WORKING BUT THE HIGH BEAMS STILL FUNCTION. I NOTICFED IT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THEM ON AT NIGHT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED IT OTHER THAN A DEFECT.

WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND TURN THEM TO LOW BEAM THEY GO OUT AND IT TAKES DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF TIMES FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT DRIVING HOME ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHICH WAS EXTREMELY SCARY. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT IT WASN'T FROM THE RECALL. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS BUT I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS FROM SOMETHING ELSE.

LOW AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF BUT THE BLUE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD LIGHT UP AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NOT SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAMS. AT ONE POINT THE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL FADED SO IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS HALFWAY ON, THEN WENT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED AGAIN. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL LIT UP AGAIN AND THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING FOR THE REMAINDER OF OUR DRIVE. THIS WAS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. FOG LIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TAIL LIGHTS STILL WORKED THROUGHOUT THIS ISSUE.

MY CAR IS SUFFERING FROM EXACTLY THE SAME HEADLIGHT SWITCH PROBLEM DESCRIBED UNDER RECALL #10V624000, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST.

THE LOW-BEAM LIGHTS ON MY HONDA FIT 2007 ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AT TIMES THEY WILL WORK BUT MORE OFTEN THEN NOT, THE LIGHTS WILL NOT WORK. THE HIGH-BEAM LIGHTS ALWAYS WORK BUT THE LOW-BEAMS DO NOT. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR A RECALL USING MY VIN BUT THERE WAS NOTHING FOR THIS PROBLEM. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I REALIZED THAT MANY 2007 HONDA FITS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT FOR SOME REASON MY CAR WAS NOT. IT APPARENTLY HAS TO DO WITH THE WIRING/CONNECTOR FOR THE HEADLIGHT. IF THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT 143,083 HONDA FITS IN THE US WERE RECALLED, WHY WAS MY CAR NOT?

DRIVING TO WORK EARLY MORNING I HAD THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND ALL THE SUDDEN IT WAS DARK, PEOPLE WERE FLASHING THEIR LIGHTS AT ME. I HAD TO PULL OVER. THE HIGH BEAMS WOULD COME ON BUT THE LOW BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS WOULDN'T. THEY FINALLY TURNED ON AFTER A WHILE. THEY HAVE TURNED OFF BY THEIR SELF A FEW TIMES NOW. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. I DID THE RECALL THAT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO ABOUT HEADLIGHTS BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THE FIX FOR IT IF ITS HAPPENING TO OTHERS TOO. *TR

WHEN DRIVING MY 2007 HONDA FIT THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKER BETWEEN HIGH AND LOW. I'VE CHECKED THE FUSE BOX AND THE FUSES ARE GOOD. *TR

BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS QUIT AT THE SAME TIME. FOG LIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS STILL WORKED. CAR HAS BEEN TO DEALER SINCE THE HEADLIGHT RECALL FOR OTHER ISSUES (DOOR SWITCH RECALL), BUT NOT SURE IF THE DEALER PERFORMED THE HEADLIGHT RECALL. *TR

THERE ARE THREE SEPARATE BUT RECURRING INCIDENTS. FIRST THE TAIL LIGHTS AND PART OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS BLEW OUT. THE DEALER SAID I WAS PROBABLY HIT BY LIGHTENING AND REPLACED THE TAIL LIGHT BULBS AND A FUSE. NEXT THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND I WAS PLUNGED INTO TOTAL DARKNESS. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A SWITCH. TWO WEEKS AFTER REPLACING THE SWITCH THE TAILLIGHTS HAVE BLOWN OUT AGAIN. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I WILL GO TO THE DEALER AGAIN TODAY BUT DO NOT THINK THE TECHS THERE KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONE ON RTE. 528 APPROX 11:30PM, AND HAD BEEN DRIVING AT 70MPH FOR 30 MINUTES, WHEN A TOW TRUCK APPEARED ON THE SIDE OF AN UNLIT HWY. I TURNED ON MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL TO CHANGE LANES AND STAY AWAY FROM THE TOW TRUCK WHICH WAS LOCATED ON THE SHOULDER. AS I CHANGED LANES, I NOTICED THAT FOR A SECOND OR TWO MY HEADLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND THEN TURNED BACK ON. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY BUT APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES LATER MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY STAYED OUT. I WAS IMMEDIATELY THRUST INTO TOTAL DARKNESS. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. I DID NOT KNOW IF I WAS ON THE ROAD OR NOT. AS I SLOWED DOWN AND BRAKED, I COULD NOT EVEN SEE WHERE THE ROAD WAS OR WHERE THE SHOULDER WAS TO PULL OFF ON. TOTAL BLACKNESS WITH ZERO VISIBILITY. I THOUGHT I MIGHT BE KILLED RIGHT THERE AS I COULD SEE NOTHING AND THERE WERE NO STREET LIGHTS. NEAR PANIC, I JIGGLED THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER AND THE HEADLIGHTS SNAPPED BACK ON. I PROCEEDED HOME, A FIVE MINUTE MORE DRIVE, WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. I RECALL THAT APPROX. FIVE MONTHS AGO MY TAIL LIGHTS WENT OUT AND A FUSE WAS REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE REPAIR PERSON SUGGESTED THAT I MAY HAVE BEEN HIT BY LIGHTENING. THIS TIME, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE PERSON WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE HEADLIGHT FAILURE THROUGH TESTING. A NEW SWITCH WAS ORDERED BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE SWITCH MAY HAVE ALSO CAUSED THE TAIL LIGHTS TO GO OUT RATHER THAN LIGHTENING. THE DEALER SAYS THAT NO OTHER CASES SUCH AS MINE HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED, AS YET. I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO HONDA AND A CASE NUMBER WAS RECORDED. I AM DOCUMENTING THIS INCIDENT BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE THAT, IF IT IS A FAULTY HEADLIGHT SWITCH, THEN OTHERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED AS I EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AS I WAS IMMEDIATELY PLUNGED INTO TOTAL DARKNESS ON A COMPLETELY DESERTED PITCH BLACK ROAD. *TR

DEFINITELY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS IN THIS CAR. JUST ENTERED TO INTERNET TO FIND IF SOMEONE LIKE ME, WITHOUT ADDITIONAL INCIDENTS, SUDDENLY MY LOW BEAM AND FOG LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING, AND FOUND NUMEROUS CASES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTIONED. THE BULB HAD BEEN REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V624000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:HIGH/LOW BEAM DIMMER SWITCH ) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE CURRENT LOWBEAM FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

Mileage: 80,000

UP TO NOW, THIS CAR NEVER EXHIBITED A PROBLEM WITH LOW BEAM FAILURE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL CORRECTION FOR HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. ON THURSDAY NIGHT, MARCH 15, 2012 LOW BEAMS FAILED TO COME ON AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. USED HIGH BEAMS TO DRIVE HOME. BROUGHT VEHICLE IN TO DEALER FRIDAY MORNING. THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE, CHECKED SYSTEMS, FOUND NOTHING MALFUNCTIONING. WHILE DRIVING SATURDAY NIGHT, LOW BEAMS INITIALLY WORKED DURING STEADY USE FOR AN HOUR. AFTER ENTERING A DARK ROAD, I SWITCHED TO HIGH BEAMS, AND WHEN I WENT TO SWITCH BACK TO LOW BEAMS FOR ONCOMING CAR, THEY FAILED. USED HIGH BEAMS TO DRIVE LAST 8 MILES HOME. USING HIGH BEAMS IS NOT AS HAZARDOUS AS NO LIGHTS, BUT I WAS BLINDING ONCOMING VEHICLES, AND THEY IN TURN WOULD SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS AND BLIND ME. *TR

Mileage: 53,600

THE BOTH OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND THE FOG LIGHT FAILED TO LIGHT UP WITHOUT WARNING AT NIGHT AROUND 8:30PM. THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE RECENTLY AND I HAD ALREADY BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALER TO HAVE THEM PERFORM THE RECALL REMEDY PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. SO I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH WAS SHORTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER TOLD IT WAS NOT RECALL RELATED AND I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ISSUE. HAVING HEADLIGHT FAILURE SUDDENLY AT NIGHT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I FEEL THAT THE RECALL PROCEDURE PERFORMED DID NOT RECTIFY THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *TT

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA FIT. A FEW DAYS AGO, IT BECAME DARK WHILE DRIVING AND I TURNED ON THE HEADLIGHTS BUT THE LOW BEAMS AND FOG LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. THE HIGH BEAMS DID FUNCTION. I DROVE HOME WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON (PISSED OFF A FEW OTHER DRIVERS WHO FLASHED THEIR HIGH BEAMS AT ME. I TRIED LOW BEAMS AGAIN WITHOUT SUCCESS. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND SOME HONDA FIT FORUMS WHERE OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD INVESTIGATED THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND FOUND BURNING OF THE METAL POSTS INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH PLUG. I TOOK MINE APART AND FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE, FOR NOW, FIXED MINE WITH THE APPLICATION OF SILICONE GREASE TO THE CONTACTS BUT DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS FIX WILL LAST. I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS MIGHT GO OUT SOME TIME WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. GIVEN THAT A NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED ON THE INTERNET THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, I THINK ITS WORTH LOOKING AT A POSSIBLE RECALL. AS AN ELECTRICAL PLUG, ITS NOT A WEAR PART; SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN THE 63,700 MILES I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE. THANKS *TR

DRIVING HOME IN THE EVENING, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2007 HONDA FIT SPORT SUDDENLY FAILED FOR NO APPARENT REASON GIVING ME NO FORWARD VISION ON A VERY DARK HIGHWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH. IN ORDER TO GET MY CAR HOME I FOUND I HAD HIGH BEAMS ONLY THEREFORE NO CHOICE BUT TO USE THEM TO GET HOME WHICH WAS BLINDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THEY CONTINUOUSLY FLASHED ME. I HAD RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS WAS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON MY MODEL AND YEAR AND THAT AN INVESTIGATION WAS PUT IN MOTION. I BROUGHT THIS INFORMATION IN THE FORM OF PRINTOUTS TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR TO BE REPAIRED. MY HONDA DEALER CHARGED ME AN $80 "DIAGNOSTIC FEE" TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE WIRING IN A HARNESS TO THE LOW BEAM SWITCH HAD FAILED DUE TO "CORROSION AND MELTING WIRE FROM OVERHEATING" THEY RESPONDED THAT IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO REWIRE THE HARNESS CONNECTOR AND REPLACE THE SWITCH TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AN ALMOST $300 DOLLAR REPAIR.

2007 HONDA FIT SPORT I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE CARS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER ABOUT 25K MILES THAT ON BOTH CARS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT CAUSES ONE OF THE LIGHTS IN THE HEADLIGHT THAT BLINKS WHEN YOU USE THE AUTO CLICKER TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR TO GO OUT UNTIL YOU PUSH THE LIGHT. HONDA LOOKED AT ONE OF THE CARS AND SAID SO SORRY DON'T KNOW WHY IT DID THAT BUT IT WORKS NOW. NOW ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER MY OTHER CAR THAT HONDA HASN'T LOOKED AT IS DOING THE SAME THING. *TR
