Apparently a lot of people over at FitFreak.net are having issues with paint quality, or lack thereof. Apparently the paint is peeling off near the mounting points on the front and rear bumpers, and some people are complaining of excessive paint chipping on their hood and front bumper. Most of the dealers have been helpful, and repainted the peeling areas free of charge, however, no recall has been made as of yet.Link to thread on FitFreak: http://www.fitfreak.net/forums....html

I don't think the paint is peeling more like the bumper and fender is rubbing causing the paint to break.

Yeah, some people were putting nylon washers where it is supposedly rubbing. What worries me more is the people who took the cars on trips, and when washing the bugs off the car with a no-touch pressure washer, ended up getting chipped paint because of BUGS. I still want a Fit, but I suppose some 3M clear paint protector stuff would be a worthy investment.

Well I hope it's the earlier fits that does all this. But yeah I would invest in 3M clear bra if you're worried, cause I'm trying to get mine done.

in lamens terms, it pretty much means that your vechicle is throwing Check Engine with that code for your fuel tank pressue sensor which has to do with your emissions/evap system.

I am a dealer tech. so i do these recalls. Basically for the dtc and srs one we hook it up to the computer (pc) using a "transfer unit" and just reprogram the srs unit or the ecm. It really doesn't take any time. On a side note I'd like to add I think the Fit is Honda's best car right now.

My Fit always feels like the wheels need balancing when its cold at first, but after a few minutes it smooths back out. I figure its just flat-spotting on the tires from it sitting overnight.

All factory finishes have some sort of orange peel, some companies more than others. If you look hard enough you can even find dirt nibs, sags, or runs right from the factory.

I wonder if you're talking about the same thing I've been experiencing for a while. When going from 1st to 2nd, sometimes it feels like when I push the clutch pedal down then shift out of 1st, the shifter feels like its popping out into 2nd on its own.

Problems with my 2007 Fit: wipers make hard noise even with a lot of water in it easy to be dented door panels Paint in hood and bumpers seems too be thin Passenger seat is very hard to slide front and back when going uphill, its kind of lazy and reacts late to downshift to 1st gear (Sport A/t) also feels weird when in a hurry drive it before the C(cold) symbol goes off
