2015 Honda Fit complaints

Before I parked, all was fine and the car felt safe, two hours later, I start the car and it has four warning lights on. Now I don't have Hill Start Assist and the car feels like it might 'go out' on me, I think something will keep it from running soon. About two weeks prior, even with keys in the car and with a full battery in both the keys and car, the car doesn't start with the first push of the 'engine start' button (maybe there is a connection here). O'Reilly helped me check the codes, and it states that I should replace the Ignition Coil, as well as the Throttle Body and it is giving the code, P0303: Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. After some research online, it seems like the Fuel Injectors might need to be replaced as the ones that come with Honda tend to malfunction. Perhaps the TSBs (www.truedelta.com/Honda-Fit-tsbs-99,2015) should be put into consideration. I believe this is what has caused the Hill Start Assist to stop working which further makes me feel like the vehicle is unsafe to drive for me and for others. We are both put at risk because I am not sure what will happen with it next. I live where there are a lot of hills, Hill Start Assist was a huge factor as to why I thought this car would be safe to drive here. I have yet to visit a Dealer or Independent Service Center. The Vehicle has been inspected by O'Reilly's Code Scanner only and myself. In the attached pictures, one is showing the warning lights that now come on at the start of the car, and the other is

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle started decelerating. Additionally, while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the engine revved, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V574000 (Power Train). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated while his daughter was driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power, and there were abnormally loud sounds coming from the engine. The contact's daughter was able to drive to her residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change; however, the mechanic diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator was damaged, causing metal fragments to damage the engine. The dealer diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.

My fuel gauge display went out. Pretty much always at least once a trip. Sometimes it starts when I turn the car on, sometimes it's after I've driven 20 miles. The display stays backlit, but all the information (time, fuel gauge, odometer, temp) disappears.

The fuel guage/mileage/mpg display flickers on and off intermittently. Sometimes it displays properly, sometimes it displays gibberish and sometimes nothing at all. There really is no correlations to be made as to why it is doing this, it can happen any day at any time or not at all. 2015 Honda Fit

In cold temperatures the LCD screen in the vehicle’s gauge cluster will report corrupted information or display none at all. This is the only method of viewing the vehicles odometer. Therefore, it is impossible to tell the vehicle’s mileage under certain (cold) conditions. This issue is caused by cracking solder points on a logic board and is a well-known fault of this generation of vehicle, meaning there are a wide array of 3rd generation Honda Fits that fail to properly report their proper Odometer mileage.

Driving down the highway yesterday at 75 mph. Car said check starter system. Started blinking. All dash lights and system turned off then on then off again. Power steering went off. Car died while going 75 mph. Abs system went down with it too. Had to hard steer and shift down. Parked on side of highway on shoulder. Towed to mechanic who said it's the alternator. Fit has about 125000 miles on it. The start switch was replaced 3 times recall then faulty by Honda dealership. Then the starter needed to be replaced by Honda dealership. Then the battery twice by O'Reilly. Now the alternator by my mechanic. This is not usual for Hondas to have to replace all of those. Seems as though this is a faulty starter system manufacturing. I could've died, had I not been trained by the military on what to do if vehicle lost power.

While waiting at a light I had difficulty accelerating when it turned green. Car started bucking and I made it home and backed the car in the driveway. Turned it back on, put it in drive and then tried to back up and it wouldn't. Had the car towed to a local Honda dealership where it was diagnosed that the transmission was shot. My car only had 95,000 miles on it, I am the original owner and have been vigilant with all maintenance and any repairs. I reached out to Honda Corporate to lodge a complaint with the hopes that they might assist with the repair. Honda refused and I ended up paying $5600 for the transmission to be replaced. I would like to add that it took a month for the dealership to obtain the transmission because Honda was out of them which I find interesting. The transmission was on backorder so how many other Hondas had the same problem? My argument was that there was a recall on transmissions on some Fits and Civics from 2015 but my VIN fell outside of the parameters of that recall. After the transmission failure, I disagree. This was the second Fit I had purchased as I had a great experience with my first one. I will never purchase another Honda vehicle after the way that they dismissed my concerns.

2015 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD DEFECTIVE STOP/START IGNITION SWITCH.

CAR LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING BELOW 20 MPH. ENGINE STILL ON BUT WHEN STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL NO ACCELERATION. PEDAL IS FIRM BUT NO GAS. LOOKS LIKE IAM PUSHING AIR. I HAVE TO LIFT MY FOOT OFF AND ACCELERATE AGAIN IN ORDER TO KEEP THE CAR GOING. VERYSCARY AND DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANES. ALSO, ANOTHER ISSUE... PAINT COMMING OFF ON A LOT OF LOCATIONS. COTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER THEY WONT FIX IT. VERY DISPOINNTED WITH HONDA LOAST CAR TO BUY AS HONDA. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Was in a car accident and was hit very hard and the seat belts didn't lock me in place and the air bags did not deploy

The information dash which shows fuel reading, odometer, oil life, and trip is not displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see the available fuel amount. The problem is intermittent but getting worse.

The instrument cluster is failing on my vehicle which causes the digital display that shows mileage and gas levels start off blank then as the vehicle warms it starts flickering and causes visibility issues as that is very distracting and could cause seizures to those sensitive to flickering. This also prevents drivers from knowing gas levels which causes drivers to be stranded on the side of the road or have the vehicle just turn off while driving due to no gas. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have videos of the issues as does many others having the same issue. I have videos of the issue but they are not allowing me to upload maybe due to file type. The flickering can cause seizures as well as being distracting which could cause accidents. Not having any way to determine gas level or mileage also is a safety issue as there is no way to know how much fuel is in the vehicle which could cause drivers to be stranded or vehicle to quit working while driving. I have taken my vehicle in to Norm Reeves Honda and Honda of Denton for this issue numerous times and provided them videos of the issues but they stated they couldn’t reproduce it until the extended warranty went out and now the finally are able to reproduce it and confirm it needs replaced. It has been inspected the the Honda dealerships There was no warning it just started happening out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago. The first time it happened I went to back out and a start system error came up and the ca

Power steering shuts off while driving randomly. It happened several months ago first. Was able to pull over and restart car and steering returned. But it happened 3 times in one day. We took it in to the dealership. They said that the entire steering column should be replace to fix the issue but they weren’t sure that it would fix the issue. We opted to wait since the steering column was on a back order. They replaced the start stop button that same trip. That seemed to fix the steering issues. We didn’t have any more issues until today when the weather go cold again. The power steering gave out and won’t come back on. 11/17/2022. Now we are faced with a steering column replacement but they aren’t even sure that is the issue. The column is on back order and they can give no indication on how long it would be to get here. Meanwhile we are out a car and no one seems to know what the issue truly is.

My cluster have been working rarely lately only when is cold outside it will not display the numbers or my gas level, which is awkward because I can run out of gas and not know.

While driving the odometer and gas gauge intermittently shut off or glitches to be unreadable. This happened approximately 5 times during a 5 mile trip. It eventually returned to normal.

The display on the instrument panel that shows the fuel status, odometer, maintenance warnings/issues (such as low tire pressure) goes out, often for extended periods (ie: 15-20 minutes at a time). This occurs more so during colder months. I have contacted the local Honda dealer (Priority Honda in Hampton, Virginia) this morning and was told the price to replace the part would be $996.00 + labor. If you google complaints about this issue, there are many. I believe this is a safety issue, and this vehicle should be recalled. Photo of issue attached.

The information dash which shows fuel reading, odometer, oil life, trip is not displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see available fuel amount.

Every morning during cold starts, the vehicle makes a rattle sound and vibrates steering wheel

GAUGE CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES COME ON EVERYTHING IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CAN NOT READ IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE MAINTENANCE DUE AND YOUR SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T SHOW THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, I RECEIVED A $300 SPEEDING TICKET. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE GAUGE CLUSTER $1300 AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

Paint from factory failed. Peels off in sheets. Items falling off a moving car is safety reason enough. Poor paint adhesion was confirmed by local paint/ body repair business. Honda has agreed by extending paint warranty for 7 years from build date but doesn't offer a recall # record to help with the steps of them handling the cost.

The right instrument cluster randomly goes blank or shows jibberish instead of the intended information. It includes the odometer and gas guage. You are at risk of running out of gas while on extended trips, without the odometer, you can not even calculate approximate mileage until empty to try to stay ahead of it.

Vehicle was stuttering and shaking from idle speed to 25mph. The transmission on the vehicle was failing according to Honda at ~80,000 miles. Metal shavings were found in the fluid. No cause for the issue was indicated by Honda of Hackettstown in NJ. Honda paid for 1700 of a 4300 bill.

MISC - SPEEDOMETER/GUAGE CLUSTER FAILED. SPEEDOMETER READ 70 MPH AND WAS PULLED OVER AND CLOCKED AT 99 MPH. THE GUAGE THAT TELLS FUEL AMOUNT, MILEAGE, AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOESN'T READ AND IS SCRAMBLED SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE OR WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY GUAGE CLUSTER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PUT IN A NEW CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $1180.50. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT ACCURATE UNTIL I WAS PULLED OVER. THE GUAGE THAT SHOWS FUEL, ECT. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND I HAVE DEALT WITH IT AND TALKED TO HONDA SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION FROM THEM. WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED 5/29/2022 AND WAS OFF THAT MUCH, I DEFINITELY FELT THAT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE PUT IN.

I purchased car, 2/2015 in Oregon, and began having issues once in Florida, at approx 10,000 miles. I took car to a Honda dealership. I needed service- oil change etc, however, the car was missing, as in the motor/ or emissions. The cold ambient temp light always came on, in Fl, but im not aware of issues it caused. Soon the car began having multiple things happening and I took the car into the same dealership( always) to have it inspected, as the Fit is still practically new. I notated to service manager the car would seem to miss especially when pulling away from a stopped position. I also informed the manager there is a noise at 1st start of day or after sitting multiple hours. They took car for drive and returned to say they were unable to “reproduce” the complaint/noise. I explained it normally is after the car has sat overnight, or at least 8 or more hours. I told the service manager, it sounds like a rod knocking, or the engine is out of oil, like a grinding noise. He suggested it stay overnight, so he could test it the following morning and did. Later the next day, he called to have me pick up my car, and was “ unable to reproduce.” I’ve taken the car in to Honda several times, never getting problems answered. The last few times in to Honda is for the not starting issue. It seems electrical. It started under warranty, like the rest, when the Fit would not start after going someplace. My partner was left stranded at Walmart one time, i have been dealing with this and t

The dashboard that displays the odometer and mileage will glitch out and sometimes completely cut out. It happens more in the cold and has been on and off but getting worse for a few years. The horn will also beep upon starting the car up. My repair shop says the circuit board would need to be replaced and that would be well over $1000. Most of the issues I have had with this car have been recalled so I am hoping this is as well.

VTC ACTUATOR

Hi, My Honda Fit digital gauge that shows odometer and more importantly fuel gauge does not work 75% of time. On Fit sites this is a common problem. Honda says happens to most Fits. Costs $1500 to possibly fix. [XXX] Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

This has happened to me a few times and I thought I was alone in suffering this defect with my Honda Fit. My fuel gauge/odometer/trip indicator goes haywire. It is either blankly blue or half there. The other morning it resembled a kaleidoscope as the screen kept cycling through. When I called Honda to schedule service, they were accepting of my description., which indicates to me that this is a know problem. I just now Googled the issue and found a number of Fit owners who are experiencing the same anomaly. They should fix it.

The electrical display on my dashboard becomes unreadable during cold temperatures. The display flashes and no characters can be read. This makes it difficult to drive safely as it is very distracting. It is also difficult to plan out my trips considering the fuel gage is on the display. This problem only occurs in cold weather which leads me to believe it might have something to do with the connections not being secured properly. No warning lights or other symptoms were present before the problem began.

My Honda Fit has about 70,000 miles on it, and recently, without warning, the transmission completely gave out. The safety hazard was that acceleration control was lost while driving on the freeway. I had it towed to the shop, and they said there would have been no warning signs of any aging or degradation of the transmission prior to the failure. The mechanic at the shop said he's seen this pattern several times with this same model of transmission. No warning lamps or signals were lighting up prior to the failure. It came completely unexpectedly.

Fuel gauge display is blinking after that few times then it goes completely blank.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the instrument cluster warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about the start system error regarding the engine START/STOP feature. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the switch assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact mentioned receiving a product advisory for the keyless start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

2015 Honda Fit Fuel Gauge Display Failure

On 11/3/21, I turned my car on in the early morning; it was around freezing temps. The instrument panel/screen that shows odometer, gas mileage and fuel gauge was blank. My first thought was to "restart" the car and perhaps that would restart the guage. I turned the car completely off, even removing my key out of the ignition. I waited approximately 10 seconds, then turned the car back on. The screen was again blank. I continued to let the car run and after approximately 45-60 seconds, the guage finally appeared correctly. This morning on 12/1/21 as I was preparing to leave my home for work, my screen again was blank. I let the car run and after one minute it began to flicker with garbled letters and numbers. After another 30 seconds, the correct screen finally showed. On this day the morning temperature was between 58-61 degrees so it was not on a freezing cold start as the first instance. I'm concerned that this second instance took longer to correct, especially given it was in a much warmer temperature. In both instances, there was no prior warning, message, indicator light or other symptom that this problem would occur. There has been no common factor to alert me or prepare me. This system is available for inspection upon request. Upon a general search online, I have found MANY reports of similar instances in Honda Fit users in the recent months. I have not yet taken it to a repair shop or had it inspected, but I will as soon as possible. It is unsafe to not know how much

In mid 2019 my Honda had a little rear end problem. Took it to a frame shop and was told my REAR AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLY was bent 3° which was causing front end alignment problems. When they used there machines and whatever else they tried was told there machinery couldn't make it budge.(front end alignment at least 2 times a month) Then in 2020 I went to start my car and nothing!! Kept trying and trying and finally it started. Continued to what I thought was my car just having a mind of its own to continuously not wanting to start so I checked my battery which was fine. I took the car to a Honda Dealership and was told I needed a new battery. Ok fine whatever then after the new battery was hooked up and they went to start it nothing!! Hours later here I am buying a starter (fixed the problem till about mid 2021). Oh yeah forgot STILL HAVE A BENT REAR AXLE) !! CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM has been popping up every time my car decides to start. Gotten to the point where the only way it'll start is if it's jumped. Battery is fine but the alternator isn't pushing out anything whatsoever!!! Because it's constantly being jumped my negative battery terminal SENSOR is going out. Every where I've called or taken the car to either says "nothing we can do" or they want to charge thousands of dollars or " oh ma'am your car is a discontinued model!" I have two little kids and this HONDA FIT is just not safe for myself, kids, or anyone else! Oh almost forgot ABS light along with the keyless entry plu

My 2015 Honda Fit out of nowhere won't start and is flashing an electrical system issue. A few weeks before this the electrical system stopped showing how much gas was in the car, how many miles etc. That whole electrical system looked really garbled then goes dark. My car wont start. And even after I fix it I cant drive around not knowing how much gas is in the car.

Instrument cluster works intermittently. Fuel gauge, oil change, ect...this guage stops working especially during the cold. Been having this problem for a could years. Noticed a lot of others have the same issues.

Digital odometer keeps faulting out. Numbers either corrupted, or gauge not visible. Happens regularly. Loss of fuel gauge, odometer, or any service codes.

At start up (often after the car has sat a few hours), the engine rattles loudly for about 2 seconds. Honda Service Bulletin 16-088 acknowledges that this occurs because “The variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator is defective.” However, Honda refuses to fix this engine defect unless the car is under warranty. This defect should be repaired regardless of whether the car is under warranty because the defect could lead to catastrophic engine failure.

Was driving 70MPH down the freeway when the transmission shaft snapped and I was suddenly coasting... will cost $6k to repair and the vehicle only has 88k miles on it.

I took the car into the Honda dealer in Bellevue, WA for an oil change and a buyer's inspection with leak down test. The next day, I could hear a loud rattling noise when I started the car. I took it back to Honda and they say it is the VTC actuator, along with timing chain, serpentine belt and water pump, which they did NOT list as issues during the 1st appointment, which was supposed to be a total inspection of the car. Not sure if they missed it or caused the additional issues. I took it to a 2nd mechanic, told him my whole story, and he said it was the VTC actuator too. I researched online and apparently many people have this issue, and most catch it before their 60k mile warranty is up. However, my car is at 74k miles. Apparently Honda was redesigned the VTC actuator, because it was such a big problem. However, they have not gone back to fix all the cars that had the issue. The mechanic says if I drive with this condition it could cause engine failure, which if it happens while driving, could pose a safety risk. I strongly feel that this is something that Honda should recall or at least extend the warranty to 100k miles for this issue.

Fuel injector issue.

MILEAGE/GAS DISPLAY GOES BLANK, THEN FLASHES SOME GIBBERISH INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ISSUE STARTED AFTER I HAD A NEW HONDA BATTERY INSTALLED A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, BUT CONTINUED WHILE PARKED. COMPUTER SEEEMS TO KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS ONCE DISPLAY RETURNS. STAYED ON AFTER CAR WAS WARM. NOT SURE IF IT’S RELATED, BUT THE USB AND BLUETOOTH HAVE ALSO BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

DASH BOARD FREEZES AND BLURRS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS K CANNOT SEE MY CURRENT MILEAGE OR FUEL LEVELS. LOW TIRE ALWAYS LN EVEN WHEN I PUT AIR ON TIRES. I GOT MY TIRES CHECKED MANY TIMES AND STAYS ON.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAR LEFT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THEN I LOST THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE D ON THE DASHBOARD BECAME FULL WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LETTERS. A DISTINCT LETTER WAS NOT VISIBLE. TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, I WAS LUCKY TO REACH IT BEING ON THE I10 WEST IN SAN BERNARDINO. TURNED OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED, BUT IT DIDN'T ENGAGE. THE ONLY FUNCTION THAT WORKS IS PARK. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. WAITING TO BE TOWED TO SPREEN HONDA IN LOMA LINDA.

ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE FUEL GAUGE VERY OFTEN GOES BLANK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. A DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN GAS TANK IS EMPTY, AND POSSIBLY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE SAME GAUGE SHOWS PROMPTS WHEN MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT VISUAL REFERENCE TO THESE PROMPTS, AGAIN A DIRE SITUATION COULD OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DAILY, FROM THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY , SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. HONDA WANTS OVER $1000, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT, ESPECIALLY ON COLD MORNINGS (I LIVE IN MINNESOTA). IT STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I NOW HAVE A COURIER JOB THAT REQUIRES PHOTOS OF MY ODOMETER EVERY DAY. IF THIS GOES OUT WHILE WORKING, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. I ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK. I'M HOPING ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM REPORT THE ISSUE, AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CAN HAPPEN. THANK YOU!

FUEL AND ODOMETER GAUGE FAILURE. IN COLD WEATHER AND OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH VEHICLE AGE, THE GAUGE WILL GO BLANK FOR SOME TIME. AFTER SOME TIME, IT MAY BLINK ON/OFF WITH UNREADABLE CHARACTERS. 31,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE PHOTO ATTACHED IWAS TAKEN WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING.
