| 6000 mi | This is a minor rattle on certain road surfaces from inside the front door panels. The dealer "could not replicate". It's not a big enough problem for me to care about any more. |

| 70000 mi | Honda broke a few clips which hold the windshield cowl in place under the hood. They also gouged the plastic cowl which is visible from outside the car. Might live with the problem since I may not have time to deal with it. |
| 80000 mi | Not sure if I provided this update yet, basically the service manager replaced the cowl and anything else he could find that was damaged from the LMS recall repairs. It's PERFECT now. |

For the most part, the Fit is aging incredibly well. However, it has developed many rattles and a few wind noises within the last month that I was able to easily repair myself. |
