What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda fit. The contact stated that while reversing at unknown speeds, she attempted to make a sharp turn but the vehicle failed to respond to steering attempts and crashed into a pole. The contact also mentioned that the failure recurred twice, both incidents resulting in a crash. There were no injuries in either crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
Unintential drifting at highway seeds from 58 to 70 MPH. By the time you get to 70 the vehicle is almost uncontrolable. Can not keep the vehicle center laned. I am not the olny one having this problem.
