#27 of 86 Turning the wheel all the way... by kagedude May 22, 2006 (12:40 pm)
For my Honda Fit Sport, whenever I turn the wheel all the way, it feels like its hitting or rubbing on something like the tire hitting the wheel well. Anyone have this symptom? I'm not comfortable turning a full radius because of that. Thanks. Replies to this message: hungarian83 (May 22, 2006 2:38 pm) carfanatic007 (May 24, 2006 8:11 pm) kagedude (May 25, 2006 1:15 pm)

Replying to: kagedude (May 22, 2006 12:40 pm) I am guessing it is the Sport model with the larger wheels/tires. I don't have that problem on my base model, and I regularly turn the wheel all the way when driving around tight corners in parking lots, etc.   Also, the 15" wheels in other markets have 185 tires, and not 195 like the US market. Maybe 10mm could be making a difference?

Replying to: kagedude (May 22, 2006 12:40 pm) I have a Fit Sport and when I turn the wheel all the way it doesn't rub. Just a very short turning radius, good for making Uturns, etc. Remember, they sell the 16 inch tires as an option so no reason the 15 inch would be too big.

Replying to: carfanatic007 (May 24, 2006 8:11 pm) Okay, maybe I'm describing it wrong. On other cars I've had when you turn the wheel all the way, the steering wheel locks with a clunk (metal to metal) feel. With my Fit, it feels like the steering wheel is hitting foam or a buffer is in between.

Has anyone noticed a "squeaking" sound with the steering wheel? It's not obnoxious or anything...just never noticed this on previous cars.
#32 of 86 okay...weird scraping noise by getnfittywidit Jun 28, 2006 (5:12 pm)
Have had my Fit for 2 weeks, it has 440 miles on it. Today I heard a weird very light scraping noise coming from under the right side front wheel. Goes away when I hit the break. This has me a tad worried to say the least. Seriously...the car is so low and I had on a skirt, so I wasn't able to look under to see what the heck was going on without literally getting down on my knees. Will do that in the morning in daylight. It sounds internal...not an obvious piece of debris caught under the car or anything. Anyone else heard such a weird sound?

Replying to: getnfittywidit (Jun 28, 2006 5:12 pm) My Fit hasn't done that yet, but my Honda Civics have been known to get a few rocks inside the brake dust shield area, that would make a weird scraping noise, until the rocks came out (whether by the dealer's hand, or by pure luck while driving).   With all of the rain we've had this past week, it wouldn't surprise me if you had some water carry a few small stones, or some gravel up in there. Try swinging by Pearson Honda's service area, and ask them. Replies to this message: getnfittywidit (Jul 02, 2006 3:53 pm)

Replying to: dewaltdakota (Jun 28, 2006 6:37 pm) that's exactly what it was. Bent brake shield is what they said. The two lane road in front of my office had uneven pavement this week. I think while switching from one lane to another I must have scraped the bottom of the car and somehow bent the brake dust shield??? They bent it back into place for me...no charge. They said they see a lot of that on the Civics. Because they are so low to the ground, I'm wondering? Anyways...I'm good to go. Replacing it would not have been under warrenty...so they bent it back. I hope it stays bent back.
#35 of 86 Windshield Noise During Highway speeds on my Fit by edvisor Jul 21, 2006 (9:51 am)
My Fit developed a high-pitch noise at the top-center of the windshield during highway speeds. It's especially loud when I'm on a bridge or it's a windy day. Has anyone else had this issue?

Replying to: edvisor (Jul 21, 2006 9:51 am) There was a TSB for wind noise in the area you mention that should have been taken care of at the port. I would take it to the dealership, and mention the TSB as part of your complaint. The fix involves a tube of sealant and the molding at the top center of the windshield.
