2007 HONDA FIT SPORT I BOUGHT 2 OF THESE CARS AT THE SAME TIME. I HAVE NOTICED AFTER ABOUT 25K MILES THAT ON BOTH CARS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR HAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT CAUSES ONE OF THE LIGHTS IN THE HEADLIGHT THAT BLINKS WHEN YOU USE THE AUTO CLICKER TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CAR TO GO OUT UNTIL YOU PUSH THE LIGHT. HONDA LOOKED AT ONE OF THE CARS AND SAID SO SORRY DON'T KNOW WHY IT DID THAT BUT IT WORKS NOW. NOW ABOUT 4 MONTHS LATER MY OTHER CAR THAT HONDA HASN'T LOOKED AT IS DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON UNTIL IT WAS RESET.
