2015 Honda Fit complaints

I BOUGHT HONDA FIT 2015 ON JAN 11, 2015. LAST YEAR I GOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON. THE ENGINE DID NOT START WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON MANY TIMES. ON JUNE 13, 2020, I BROUGHT MY CARD TO HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER. I LEFT THE CAR AT DEALER AND COME BACK TO PICK UP THE SAME DAY. AT DEALER PARKING LOT, I STARTED MY CAR AND IT DID THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I CAME BACK INSIDE THE OFFICE AND LET THE TECHNICIAN KNEW. SO, I LEFT MY CAR AGAIN AT DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX IT. AT THAT TIME, MY CAR WAS 29,221 MILES ONLY FOR 5 AND HALF YEARS. I NOT DRIVE MY CAR A LOT JUST ABOUT 12 MILES PER DAY. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD TO FIXED SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGED ME FOR TOTAL $750. I THINK IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME TO PAY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I FILE THE COMPLAIN WITH HONDA COMPANY ON JUNE 2020 AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REPLY BACK. FEB 20, 21, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ABOUT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2015-17 FIT KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR WITH DTC B12C5. HONDA WOULD REIMBURSE IF I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BEFORE. I FILED PAPERWORK WITH ALL RECEIPTS ON 02/23/21. TODAY, I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM HONDA CLAIM DEPARTMENT 03/11/2021 THEY STATED I DID NOT QUALIFIED FOR REIMBURSE BECAUSE THE PART THEY REPLACED NOT QUALIFIED. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY? BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS, ONE DAY I HAD TO STAY ON PARKING LOT FOR 30 MINUTES TRING TO START THE ENGINE. I WAS LATE FOR WORK AND LATE FOR MY APPOINTMENTS TWICE. THE REIMBURSE CLAIM NUMBER: 11377164. THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT TOLD

ELECTRONIC CLUSTER FAILURE AFFECTING FUEL GAUGE AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY. THIS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF FUEL OR ENGINE OVERHEATS. AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS, IT'S A MAJOR ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF HONDA FIT OWNERS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE PUT IN PLACE FOR THIS.

MY CAR IS A 2015... LESS THAN 46,000 MILES AND CAR WILLL NOT TURN ON. AFTER READING SEVERAL THREADS, IT APPEARS THAT HONDA 2015 HAS FAULTY STATERS. ALSO, THE DISPLAY SHOWING PROPER GAS LEVELS GO IN AND OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL.

VEHICLE INTSTRUMENT LCD WHERE IT DISPLAYS FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER TRIP METER IS GOING OUT INTERMENTTLY. VEHICLE IS TOO RISKY TO DRIVE IF YOU DONT IF YOU DONT HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE LEFT.

THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY OF MY MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS IS OFTEN BLANK WHEN I INITIALLY START MY CAR, OR THE DISPLAY IS GIBBERISH (E.G. NUMBERS AND LETTERS WHERE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY). THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (3-4X/WEEK) AND TENDS TO BE WORSE WHEN IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE.

FUEL/ODOMETOR GUAGE DISPLAY IS BLANK / FLICKERING WHEN IN USE. SOMETIMES IT IS BLANK THE ENTIRE TIME.

THREE ISSUES ROD NOCKING AT START UP PAINT PEELING ON TOP ROOF BY WINDSHIELD AND STARTING TO RUST WINDSHIELD SAFETY IS COMPROMISED BUY THE RUST AND SHOULD BE RECALLED I WAS DENIED A RECALL FOR THE PAINT BLUE LOW TEMPERATURE COOLANT LIGHT IS ON DASH WITH A AMBIENT TEMP OF 55DEGREES WHEN COLD FOR FIRST COUPLE OFF MINUTES OF DRIVING CAN BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TEMP NOT READING RIGHT TO WARN DRIVER OF THE TRUE COOLANT TEMP AND OR CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS FOR THE ENGINE NOT TO READ RIGHT AND ENRICHEN THE MIXTURE WHICH COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE ROD NICK POSSIBLY GAS WASHED THE MAIN BEARINGS IN ENGINE

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN SHOWING NOTHING OR GIBBERISH. NO ODOMETER, NO CLOCK, NO FUEL GAUGE, NO TIME DISPLAY, NO TEMP DISPLAY. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP, IT USUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL.

FOUR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I COULD HEAR AND FEEL A CYLINDER MISFIRE. DEALER SERVICE DIAGNOSED FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE AND REPLACED THE INJECTORS AND RELATED PARTS. CAR DRIVEN ONLY 50K MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED.

STOPPED AT THE ROTARY. LOOKED FOR CLEAR TRAFFIC. ENTERED ROTARY. LOUD METALLIC BANG, NO DRIVE. NEEDED TO USE WHAT LITTLE MOMENTUM I HAD TO MOVE FROM THE INSIDE LEFT LANE TO THE RIGHT SIDE BREAKDOWN LANE. ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A TAILGATING MOTORIST. CALLED AAA FOR TOW.

THE GAUGE DISPLAY THAT SHOWS MILEAGE, FUEL INDICATOR, OIL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE READING AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION MAY COME ON SOMETIMES. IF IT DOES COME ON, IT IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CANNOT READ IT AND THEN GOES BLANK. I AM VERY INSECURE DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE OR THE MILEAGE READING TO KNOW WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS BE DONE. I CONTACTED HONDA CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOR AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF MYSELF. I HAVE READ ON MANY SITES WHERE SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF I AM MOVING OR SITTING STILL. PLEASE, IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, CONTACT HONDA DIRECT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE MAKE HONDA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SOMETHING MAY BE DONE ABOUT IT.

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERIES EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE PURCHASE IN 2015. VEHICLE WILL FUNCTION FINE THEN STRUGGLE TO START OUT OF NOWHERE. DESPITE TAKING STEPS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY POWER DRAINING AND TRYING DIFFERENT BRANDS OF BATTERIES (WHICH IS A SMALL SELECTION) EVERY YEAR AROUND OCTOBER/NOVEMBER IT STARTS TO FAIL. THE CAR CAN BE JUMPSTARTED WITHOUT TOO MUCH ISSUE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT PORTABLE JUMPSTARTING SYSTEMS STRUGGLE TO GET IT GOING. ISSUES WILL START WITHOUT MUCH CORRELATION OF HOW MUCH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION PRIOR. CAR COULD'VE BEEN STATIONARY/TURNED OFF FOR 30 MINS OR A DAY WITH THE SAME RESULTS.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A JACK HAMMER NOISE 10/2020 WHILE DRIVING, WHEN IT WAS 5 YEARS OLD WITH 47,000. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED MY TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NEEDED REPLACING. APPARENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN 143000 RECALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

THE AIR DEFLECTOR UNDER THE FRONT OF MY CAR HAS FALLEN DOWN 5 TIMES OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE. THIS HAS HAPPENED DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT ZIP TIED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE EITHER THE CLIPS THAT ARE USED TO ANCHOR IT ARE DEFECTIVE, POORLY DESIGNED, OR THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE FORCES OF THE WIND.

I WAS DRIVING 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, UNDER CRUISE CONTROL. I ACCELERATED TO PASS A TRUCK. THE ENGINE HESITATED. A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, VEHICHLE STABBILTY ASSIST, ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING AGAINST MY INPUTS TO 45MPH (LIMP MODE) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MANY MILES FROM ANYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE CODE BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT. THIS GOT ME A FEW MORE MILES, THE IT (LIMP MODE) HAPPENED AGAIN. I DISCONNECT/RECONNECT BATTERY ONCE MORE AND THIS GETS ME 35 MORE MILES AND TO THE NEAREST TOWN. TAKING IT TO A SHOP, THEY IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AS THE FUEL INJECTORS BY RESEARCHING ONLINE. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON ON THIS YEAR (2015) OF HONDA FIT, AND STILL SEEMS TO PERSIST DESPITE A REDESIGN OF THE INJECTORS FROM HONDA. THE REPAIR WAS HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE ($1,000 FOR PARTS FROM HONDA), BOTH FOR A CHEAP AND CHEERFUL CAR, AS WELL AS WHAT APPEARS TO BE VERY ORDINARY SOLENOID FUEL INJECTORS. I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS KNOW ISSUE BY HONDA HASN'T SPAWNED A RECALL, BUT EITHER WAY, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR.

THE GAS AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WENT BLANK, THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK, YOU CANNOT TRACK DOWN YOUR OIL SERVICE MAINTENANCE, YOU CANNOT TRACK YOUR MILAGE USE. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T TRUST THE CAR, I CAN BE LEFT STRANDED ANYTIME AND I AM DOING THE MAINTENANCE BLINDLY.

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR THREE YEARS, IT HAS 81,166 MILES ON IT AND IS HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL FASTER THAN IT SHOULD AND HAS CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE. I ALWAYS TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGES AND ALWAYS BROUGHT IT IN WHEN THE OIL LIFE WAS AT ROUGHLY 20%. I CONSTANTLY CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS ALWAYS LOW EVEN AFTER A RECENT FILL UP BUT HAD NO LEAKAGE. I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE WHICH WILL COST ROUGHLY $5000 INCLUDING LABOR MAYBE MORE. EVERY TIME I STARTED MY CAR FOR THE PAST YEAR IT WOULD MAKE A ROUGH LOUD SOUND AND WOULD USUALLY GO AWAY ONCE I GOT AN OIL CHANGE. MY CAR WILL ALSO TAKE ROUGHLY 3 TRIES TO START AND WILL MOST LIKELY NEED A NEW STARTER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE STARTER FIXED IN THE PAST 2 YEARS. THE BACK UP CAMERA IS ALSO WAY OFF WITH DEPTH PERCEPTION AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS.

2 HUGE ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 45K MILES ON IT AND BY 60,000 MILES I NEEDED THE ENTIRE FUEL RAIL REPLACED DUE TO LURCHING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROADS. HONDA PAID FOR IT AFTER A LENGTHY ARGUMENT BETWEEN DEALERSHIPS. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I AM CONTINUALLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NO-IGNITION KEYS. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, IT TOLD ME "LOW KEY BATTERY", "NO KEY" OR JUST WOULDNT REGISTER THEM. I REPLACED BOTH THE CAR BATTERY AND THE KEY BATTERIES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM MODULE. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND LESS THAN A .MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT MAY JUST BE THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS. TODAY I COULD NOT START MY CAR. EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR, AND EVEN PUSHING IT RIGHT UP TO THE IGNITION BUTTON WHICH USUALLY WORKS.

THE DISPLAY THAT SHOWS FUEL GAUGE, MILEAGE, TEMPERATURE, ODOMETER AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION MAY COME ON FOR AWHILE AND THEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK. IF IT DOES COME ON THE INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN IS SO SCRAMBLED AND THEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IN MOTION OR STOPPED. I FEEL VERY INSECURE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN THE CAR OR MY MILEAGE THAT I DEPEND ON FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP IN LATE 2019, I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER AT LOW ACCELERATION. I FOUND THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR EVALUATION. IT HAD 84,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FILLER PLUG WAS MISSING. APPARENTLY IT HAD BEEN MISSING FOR SOME TIME, AS THERE WAS CAKED, DIRTY ATF SPILLED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE. THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) WAS COMING APART INTERNALLY AND REQUIRED A FULL REPLACEMENT. HONDA DECLINED ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE OTHER REFERENCES IN ONLINE FORUMS TO FILLER CAPS ON 2015 HONDA CVTS POPPING OUT DURING OPERATION.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON A LOT RECENTLY. TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN LACROSSE WI. TODAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS NEED REPLACED. I ASKED IF IT COULD STILL SAFELY BE DRIVEN. THEY SAID THAT IT COULD BECOME DISABLED, STRANDING ME WHEREVER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TODAY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCING OF THE FAULTY INJECTOR PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME AND THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS OVER A $1700 REPLACEMENT COST.

A YEAR AGO THE WHITE PAINT ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT STARTED PEELING ON THE TOP OF DOOR AND ROOF. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALER HE SAID HAD NOT HEAR ANYTHING FROM HONDA CORP ABOUT IT AND WOULD COST $1500. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ON LINE ABOUT WHAT TO DO.

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS FREQUENTLY MALFUNCTIONS, EITHER GOING COMPLETELY BLANK OR RAPIDLY FLASHING RANDOM CHARACTERS (LETTERS AND NUMBERS). THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER BUT FOR MY VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING IN WARMER (UP TO 75 DEGREES F). ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION- ANY TIME CAR IS ON. A QUICK SEARCH OF VEHICLE OWNER FORUMS ONLINE RETURNS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS DESPITE IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE FUEL GAUGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FLASHING IS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY TOOK IT TO GET FIXED AT HONDA NOW. THEY CHARGE $179 JUST TO 'DIAGNOSE' THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT.

2015 HONDA FIT (WITH APPROX. 24K MILES). BATTERY WILL LOSE CHARGE AFTER CAR IS NOT USED / SITS FOR THREE (3) TO FOUR (4) DAYS WITH ALL LIGHTS / RADIO / ACCESSORIES TURNED OFF. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY AUGUST 2020. REPLACEMENT BATTERY IS PROPERLY SIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS CAUSING A PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. DEALER REPS HAVE STATED THIS IS A WELL-RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITH THE FIT MODEL. RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE CAR BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 10 TO 15 MILES EVERY DAY OR 2ND DAY. THE RECOMMENDATION DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY / 2ND DAY IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE IN TERMS OF GAS COSTS BUT ALSO NEEDLESSLY CONTRIBUTES TO POLLUTION AND (PERHAPS BY DESIGN) EARLY VEHICLE OBSOLESCENCE. THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) UNIT IN THE FUSE/RELAY BOX. THIS ELD READS THE AMPERAGE LOAD DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND SENDS A VARIED VOLTAGE SIGNAL TO THE PCM WHICH REGULATES THE SIGNAL TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE ELD IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PCM. THE PCM IS CONNECTED TO THE ALTERNATOR, NOT THE ELD. THE ELD MONITORS THE AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMS THE PCM AS TO WHAT TO DO. THE ELD WILL VARY THE OUTPUT BETWEEN .1 TO 4.8 VOLTS TO THE ECU. THIS REFERENCE VOLTAGE IS WHAT TELLS THE ECU TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE FIELD STRENGTH IN THE ALTERNATOR. AS THE CURRENT IS RAMPED UP OR DOWN THE ELD RATCHETS THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE TO THE PCM TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. I WAS TOLD THAT A HONDA BULLETIN STATED:

THE GAUGE CLUSTER THAT INCLUDES THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK OR GLITCH WHEN THE WEATHER STARTS TO GET COLDER. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE CAR LATELY, HOWEVER. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE GAUGE CLUSTER IS DEGRADING FASTER NOW.

THE CAR IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO START WITH ABOUT 15 TRIES. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE STARTER AND IT TESTED FINE. ALSO THE ALTERNATOR, BATTER AND FOB BATTERY CHECKED OUT FINE

WHITE ORCHID PEARL PAINT IS SEVERELY PEELING ON ROOF AND DOORS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

THE INTEGRATED ODOMETER+FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS INTERMITTENTLY BUT REGULARLY. DISPLAY FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY MANY TIMES DURING SEVERAL YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP. FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF DISPLAY FAILURE HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN LAST 6 MONTHS RESULTING IN INCREASED SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DRIVER IS BLINDED TO VEHICLE FUEL STATUS AND/OR DISTANCE DRIVEN WHEN DISPLAY FAILS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS, AND SOMETIMES THE FAILURE LASTS FOR MANY MILES OR MULTIPLE DAYS BEFORE IT SELF-CORRECTS UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE OCCURS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS SPORADICALLY REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, BUT HAPPENS MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY (ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY) DURING COLD WEATHER WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 DEGREES.

AT 56,000 MILES THIS CAR NEEDS A STARTER REPLACEMENT. ACCORDING TO RESEARCH, THESE CARS SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THIS UNTIL AT LEAST 100,000 MIKES. THIS IS A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT AS I HAVE BEEN A HONDA OWNER FOR ABOUT 20 YEARS, AND EXPECT MUCH MORE. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS IS FROM $609.00 -$1100.00.

DIGITAL GAS GAUGE INCLUDES ODOMETER. LAST WINTER, AT ABOUT 32 DEGREES OR COLDER, GAUGE OFTEN EITHER DID NOT WORK (WENT BLANK) OR SCRAMBLED ITS INFO, WHICH WAS THEN UNREADABLE. NOW, THE GAUGE HAS BEGUN MALFUNCTIONING IN JULY. I FEAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR MISSING MAINTENANCE DUE TO UNRELIABLE ODOMETER READING. BOTH SITUATIONS COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR NOT.

CAR MAKES CONSTANT HUMMING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION BEGINNING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH.

THE FUEL AND ODOMETER GAUGE GOES IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT'S LIT WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY INFORMATION, THE DISPLAY WILL GO ON AND OFF. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY HAS FAILED (IT ALSO DISPLAYS TIME, ODOMETER, TEMP, ETC). IT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, OR NOT AT ALL. WHEN IT DOES COME ON, SOMETIMES IT'S GLITCHED OUT/COMPLETE GIBBERISH, WITH THE WRONG FUEL AMOUNT. MANY, MANY OTHER HONDA FITS HAVE THIS ISSUE (NO RECALL, CORPORATE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT). TIME, MILEAGE, AND TEMPERATURE HAVE NO EFFECT. COST IS $700+ FOR DEALER TO FIX. *TR

WHILE ON DAILY COMMUTE, TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING FOR APPROX 1/8 MILE AND A LOUD BANG OCCURRED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO VISUALLY INSPECT UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE BUT NOTHING WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE REGARDLESS OF REVVING ENGINE. *TR

MY 2015 HONDA FIT LX WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES HAS 4 SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE ' TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS), VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA). THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS ALONG WITH FUEL PIPES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER RULING OUT IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS AS POTENTIAL ISSUES. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH DIRECT FUEL INJECTORS WITH HONDA OF THIS MODEL YEAR. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NHTSA WEBSITE CONFIRMED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA AS REPORTED BY MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ESTIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS IS $1700-2000. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE DESIGN BY HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL OR COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2015 HONDA FIT. IT HAS 23,000 MILES AND IT IS OUT OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND HONDA REFUSES TO ACCEPT BLAME FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS AND STILL ALLOWS AN UNSAFE CAR TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT RECALLS OR WARNINGS. HONDA WANTED ALMOST $ 5,000 TO REPAIR THIS , BUT THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1754 FOR A USED 2017 TRANSMISSION... *TR

ATTEMPT TO START CAR, WILL NOT START - HAS NEW BATTERY, NEW PLUGS, GAS; IT'S A MANUAL - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. TODAY - TRIED TO START, NOTHING. HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE LIGHT - P 105 - 1ST FUEL INJECTOR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, RUNNING LEAN. DISGUSTING - FIRST HONDA IN 4 THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT IS BROKEN. THIS IS WAY BEYOND SIMPLE WEAR AND TEAR. 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD START - EVERY TIME. *TR

SIMILAR ISSUE TO THE OTHERS, HAVE THE RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR LCD PANEL OF THE DASH WHICH HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE AND IS LOCKED, GLITCHED OR COMPLETELY OUT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY. STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY IN 2018 BUT IS NOW UNBEARABLE. INCLUDES ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE (SAFETY ISSUE), FUEL ECONOMY AND OTHER TRIP INFORMATION. ALSO HAVE HAD THE OFTEN MENTIONED INTERMITTENT NON-STARTING ISSUE WHICH WAS SOLVED WITH A NEW STARTER WITH LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE CLUSTER IS A BLUE BLANK WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND I CANNOT SEE HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. ONCE THE CAR IS WARM THE GAUGE DISPLAYS MY FUEL LEVEL AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SCREEN. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS REGISTER EITHER GOES BLANK OR SHOWS GIBBERISH SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. YOU CANNOT DEDUCE SPEED LIMIT ON HIGHWAY OR SEE HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE.

I WAS AT A RAMP METER ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND AS I STARTED TO GET READY TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION MID WAY. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I QUICKLY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND FOUND THAT THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHAT GEAR I AM IN SHOWED BOTH N (NEUTRAL) AND D (DRIVE) OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER. WHEN I STOPPED TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I SHIFT MY CAR TO D (DRIVE). IT ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE CAR AND TRIED AGAIN. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO D BUT NO ACCELERATION. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC FOR THOSE WHO WERE EXITING THE FREEWAY. I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. AT THIS TIME, HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE STATED THERE WAS NO WAY ANYONE WHO HAS WORKED ON MY CAR NOR THE OWNER WOULD HAVE KNOWN OR PREVENTED THIS. I RESEARCHED ISSUES WITH HONDA FIT 2015 AND FOUND "NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11309296." ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT SAY MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL AS MY CAR WAS LIKELY MANUFACTURED DURING THE TIME FRAME STATED.

FREQUENTLY, WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING AND THE CAR EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE RIGHT DASH POD DISPLAYING LED READOUTS OF THE ODOMETER, FUEL LEVEL REMAINING, RUNNING MILES PER GALLON, TRIP ODOMETER, TIME AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WILL INTERMITTENTLY BLANK OUT, SOMETIMES TO RETURN AS LCD GIBBERISH IN ANYWHERE FROM 10-30 MINUTES, AFTER WHICH TIME INFORMATION MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK IN ACCURATE FORM DURING THE COURSE OF A TRIP. DOCUMENTED BY MANY OTHERS ON HONDA FIT WEBSITE WWW.FITFREAK.NET (2015 HONDA FIT FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY FAILURE).

ELECTRONIC STARTING ISSUES. CONSTANTLY FAILS TO START. I PUT A NEW BATTERY AND ALSO CHANGED THE BATTERY TO THE KEY FOB BUT STILL HAVING STARTING ISSUES. IT INTERMITTENTLY FAILS TO START. SOMETIMES IT WILL TAKE MULTIPLE TRIES BEFORE IT WILL START. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 30,572 MILES AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. A FEW TIMES I ACTUALLY HAD TO ATTACH A JUMP START POWER SYSTEM TO START THE VEHICLE, EVERYTHING IN VEHICLE COMES ON NORMALLY WITH POWER JUST DOESN'T START CONSTANTLY. HAPPENS CONSTANTLY NO MATTER HOW FAR I DRIVE.

I WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND MY VEHICLE STARTED ACTING STRANGE-IT WAS HAVING DIFFICULT ACCELERATING AND FELT BUMPY. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT OFF OF THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO GEAR. I COULD NOT DRIVE OR REVERSE THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY DRAINED AND INSPECTED THE FLUID TO FIND METAL DEBRIS IN MAGNET THAT LOOKED LIKE CVT BELT PARTS. THEY SAID THE CVT BELT BROKE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THE NHTSA RECALL REFERENCE NUMBER 15V574000. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE DEFECT IS THAT SOFTWARE SETTINGS THAT CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION OPERATION MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE PULLEY SHAFT. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN IS NOT A PART OF THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY AT ABOUT 72,000 MILES BUT LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I WAS ASKED TO PAY A PORTION TOWARDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT.

WITH THE MOTOR RUNNING AND THE CAR EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING, THE RIGHT DASH POD DISPLAYING LED READOUTS OF THE ODOMETER, FUEL LEVEL REMAINING, RUNNING MILES PER GALLON, TRIP ODOMETER, TIME AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WILL INTERMITTENTLY BLANK OUT, SOMETIMES TO RETURN AS LCD GIBBERISH IN ANYWHERE FROM 10-30 MINUTES, AFTER WHICH TIME INFORMATION MAY OR MAY NOT COME BACK IN ACCURATE FORM DURING THE COURSE OF A TRIP. PURCHASED THE CAR ON 1/24/2020, HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE THEN, MOST RECENTLY ON 2/5/2020. DOCUMENTED BY MANY OTHERS ON HONDA FIT WEBSITE WWW.FITFREAK.NET (2015 HONDA FIT FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY FAILURE).

I HAD ALL EMERGENCY LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING MY PROPERLY MAINTAINED 2015 HONDA FIT WHICH CURRENTLY HAD 26,000 MILES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CODE P0301 MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND JOINT PIPE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD I NEEDED TO UPGADE THE PGM-F! SOFTWARE AS WELL AS ADJUST ENGINE VALVES. DESPITE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL BEING IN EFFECT, I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT BE A WARRANTY COVERED SERVICE.

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY, THAT INCLUDES THE FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER, FUEL ECONOMY READOUT AND SERVICE REMINDERS, HAS STARTED TO DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT DISPLAYS GIBBERISH. SOMETIMES THE SCREEN IS BLANK. SOMETIMES IT IS OKAY. PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO, PRESENTING A MIXED UP DISPLAY. IT HAS SLOWLY WORSENED, TO INCLUDE THE TOTALLY BLANK DISPLAY HAPPENING SOME OF THE TIME. HAPPENS WITH CAR STATIONARY OR MOVING. CHANGING DIRECTION OR SPEED HAS NO EFFECT. INITIALLY SEEMED TO OCCUR WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE WAS COLD ( @ 30 DEGEES F ), AND IMPROVED AS AIR TEMP AND CAR TEMP WARMED. NOW HAS HAPPENED WHEN AIR TEMP IS @ 50 DEGREES F..

DRIVING HONDA FIT WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE BEING DONE ON IT. ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, TPS, TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR AND STEERING WHEEL WITH EXCLAMATION MARK) WENT ON IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO WORK. VEHICLE DID NOT OPERATE WELL AND DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVE. TOOK TO LOCAL HONDA MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A P0420 CYLINDER MISFIRE CODE. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF HONDAS AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE AS SUCH. WAS TOLD MY ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEM WOULD NOT COVER IT AND WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.

HELLO, THE CAR WON'T START. IT'S A KEYLESS START BUTTON. BUTTON, PANEL, MUSIC, LIGHTS AND ALL START. EVERYTHING'S NORMAL BUT THE CAR WON'T START OR TURN OVER. I LOWER THE HANDBRAKE, PRESS DOWN ON THE BRAKE AND PRESS THE STARTER BUTTON BUT CAN'T GET THE ENGINE TO START. IT HAS STARTED AFTER NUMEROUS TRIES. BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I CAN'T RELIABLY EXPECT TO START THE CAR. PLEASE ADVISE AS I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS POSTED ON THE WEB.

FUEL GUAGE DISPLAY BLANKS OUT, THEN RETURNS GARBLED. SEE ATTACHED IMAGE.
