FRONT PASSENGER AXLE BROKE WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS WHEN STOPLIGHT TURNED GREEN. HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. I FOUND THERE WAS RECALL ON THIS FRONT AXLE FOR 2013 FIT MADE BETWEEN 5/24-7/5/13 FOR THIS FAILURE, BUT HONDA SAYS MY CAR HAD NO RECALL ON FILE SO IT WOULDN'T BE PART OF THIS RECALL. CAR ONLY HAS 59500 MILES. CUSTOMER SERVICE UNABLE TO TELL ME ACTUAL DATE MY CAR MFG AND THAT THEY ARE METICULOUS ON RECALLS. IF THEY'RE SO METICULOUS, WHY DID THEY PUT IMPROPERLY HEAT TREATED AXLES IN 3108 CARS? I SUSPECT MINE GOT MISSED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE THE BROKEN AXLE, WHICH I CAN TAKE TO A METALLURGIST IF NECESSARY.

WITHIN 5 MONTHS BOTH MY DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE AXLE HAVE BROKEN ON MY 2013 HONDA FIT. BOTH TIMES WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE WAS A LOUD BANG AND THEN A CLICKING NOISE.

I WAS MAKING A WIDE TURN GOING FORWARD ON A HIGHWAY. I COULDNT COMPLETE THE TURN SUCCESSFULLY BECAUSE THE ROAD WASNT WIDE ENOUGH, SO I STOPPED AND CHANGED GEARS TO REVERSE TO BACK UP. THAT IS WHEN THE AXLE BROKE. IT PROBABLY HAD THE MOST TORQUE ON IT AND PERHAPS I DIDNT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO SHIFT FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE.

ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28 MY RIGHT AXLE BROKE. IN HALF. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR UP THEY BROUGHT ME THE BROKEN AXLE WHICH WAS ALL RUSTED. I CONSIDER THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND EVERYONE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY UNEXPECTED THING TO HAPPEN ON A 2013 CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS HAPPENING. THANKFULLY, THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY AT A LIGHT IN MY OWN TOWN. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY AND I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND BRAKED AS USUAL. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CAR RACED AND THERE WAS CLICKING NOISE. THE CAR WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN IT OCCURRED AND I NEED TO TAKE MY OWN SAFETY INTO MY HANDS BY RUNNING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NEEDING TO GET HELP TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE FO THE ROAD.
