2015 Honda Fit complaints

THE SMALL SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISPLAYS THE FUEL LEVEL AND ODOMETER WILL OCCASIONALLY DISPLAY GIBBERISH OR JUST DISPLAY NOTHING. THE BACKLIGHT WILL STAY ON WHILE THIS HAPPENS. IT SO FAR CLEARS ITSELF AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON ON COLDER DAYS, BUT IM NOTICING THAT IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA.

P0303 MISFIRE CYLINDER 4; CHECKED LIVE DATA, ALL CYLINDERS MISFIRING. RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND FUEL PIPE DUE TO "KNOWN ISSUES WITH DIRECT FUEL INJECTORS" AS STATED BY HONDA DEALERSHIP. CAR IDLES ROUGHLY. CAR LOST POWER WHILE ACCELERATING TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CAUSING STALL ON HIGHWAY. ADDITIONAL ENGINE CODES INDICATE FUEL PROBLEMS - P2906 AND P0172. REPLACEMENT OF DAMAGED IGNITION COILS AND SPARKS PLUGS ALSO REQUIRED.

THE GUAGE THAT READS THE MILEAGE AND GAS LEVEL IN THE DASHBOARD IS GLITCHING EXCESSIVELY. THERE WILL BE TIMES THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLANK. OTHER TIMES IT IS UNREADABLE. IT HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS NEWLY TURNED ON, BEING DRIVEN, OR IF I RESTART THE CAR. WAS ALSO NOT FIXED WITH A NEW BATTERY. IT BEGAN A COUPLE TIMES IN 2017 AND IT IS NOW TURNING INTO A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

THE LCD SCREEN THAT HAS YOUR GAS GAUGE MILEAGE TRIP MILAGE. TEMPTURE STAYS BLUE WHEN IT BELOW 43 DEGREES BUT GOES BACK AFTER DRIVING IT FOR 10 MINUTES ONLY IN THE MORNING

MY 2015 HONDA FIT EX STARTED EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL ISSUES AT 25K MILES. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AND NOW AT 45K MILES I NEED THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR $2300 TO FIX IT. NON-POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR, THE ODOMETER NO LONGER DISPLAYS INFORMATION. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT WILL FLICKER AND GLITCH AND SOMETIMES COME BACK. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, I AM UNABLE TO SEE MY FUEL GAUGE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER 2019, AND IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AT 104,000 CAUSING A $2K+ REPAIR. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS FOLLOWED PER THE MANUAL.THE PUSH BUTTON START ALSO FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE THESE ISSUES SPEAK TO THE POOR BUILD QUALITY AT THE PLANT IN MEXICO AND REPRESENT A SMALL PORTION OF THE ISSUES INHERENT IN THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAD 2 FLAT TIRES IN THE PAST MONTH ALL SHOWING A SIGNIFICANT GOUGING TEAR ON THE INNER FACING SIDE OF EACH TIRE. THE FIRST ONE WAS REPLACED BY AAA AS A DEFECTIVE TIRE, BUT AFTER THE 2ND FLAT, MY AAA REPAIR GUY MENTIONED IT COULD LIKELY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH SOME PART OF THE CAR OR AXLE SCRAPING AGAINST THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRE. THE FIRST ONE WAS MY FRONT RIGHT AND THE CURRENT FLAT TIRE I'M DEALING WITH IS THE REAR LEFT TIRE. THERE'S NOTHING OBVIOUSLY VISIBLE AS THE CAUSE OF WHAT COULD BE SCRAPING AGAINST THE WHEELS. AS THE PICTURE BELOW SHOWS, THE SCRAPE IS IN A CLEAR CIRCULAR LINE WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE A STATIONARY PART ON THE CAR SCRAPING OR CUTTING INTO THE INNER SIDE OF THE WHEEL. WHEN FLAT TIRE WAS DISCOVERED CAR WAS STATIONARY. FIRST INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE LIGHT BEFORE I NOTICED A FLAT. WHEN I CAME BACK TO MY PARKED CAR THE REAR LEFT TIRE WAS FULLY FLAT AND NON-DRIVABLE. CAR WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT SHOWS THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY DOESN'T APPEAR WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE (LESS THAN 55-ISH). THE SCREEN WILL TURN ON SOMETIME AFTER DRIVING 4-10 MILES. AT FIRST THE SCREEN WILL LOOK GARBLED, BUT THEN IT WILL BE FINE. IT LOOKS LIKE A TON OF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM.

MY KEY IGNITION LIGHT WENT ON STARTING 9/2019. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAD TO GET THE ELECTRICAL PANEL RELATED TO THE IGNITION AND STARTER REPLACED. IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE RECALL OF THE 2013-14 MODEL WHERE THE FRONT PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A HONDA FIT 2015 EX WITH ABOUT 58K ON IT. I BOUGHT IT PRE-CERTIFIED USED 2 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE DISAPPEARING OF THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER DISPLAY FOR UP TO 5 MIN + INTERVALS, ESPECIALLY UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING BUT ALSO WHILE DRIVING (ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS). AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING DAILY. I'VE GONE TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AT FIRST WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I PRESSED THEM WITH MY PHOTOS AND AFTER MEETING WITH THE DIR. OF SERVICE, WHO THEN DID THE DIAGNOSTICS, HE SAID THAT THE WHOLE UNIT, CALLED THE 'COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY' WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $800 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THAT'S $$$. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO ADMIT THEIR FAULT AND LIABILITY HERE. THERE IS NO NEGLIGENCE ON MY SIDE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS MALFUNCTION ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE AND MANY FORUMS DOCUMENTING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR MY EXACT HONDA FIT 2015 MODEL. IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE SADDLED WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS A LIABILITY ISSUE, RE: ODOMETER READINGS, BEING INSURED, FUTURE RESALE. . IF FOR ANY REASON THE DISPLAY IS NOT READING CORRECTLY, AND NOT CORRECTLY DISPLAYING THE PROPER # OF MILES, IT'S A MORE SERIOUS MATTER. OF COURSE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE IN YOUR TANK IS ALSO A SERIOUS MATTER! AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED

THE PART OF THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOWS THE FUEL LEVELS, MPG, AND ODOMETER KEEPS SHORTING OUT AND ONLY SHOWING A BLANK BLUE SCREEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRY TO COME BACK ON AND SHOW RANDOM LINES AND SYMBOLS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, WHICH MAKES ME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON CORRECTLY AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES OF RUNNING THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO CORRELATION IN ANY CONDITIONS OF WHEN IT WORKS VERSES WHEN IT DOESN'T.

FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER IS GLITCHING. SOMETIMES JUST DOESN'T SHOW ANYTHING

MY CAR ACCCEILERATED TWICE WITHOUT THE DRIVER TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAPPENED WHILE PARKING AS THE CAR WAS CREEPING FORWARD IN THE PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY SPED UP. I HAD TO STAMP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHY, BUT I FOUND OUT THAT CARS OF THE SAME MAKE , MODEL AND YEAR IN JAPAN WERE RECALLED FOR SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION AND IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT OR INJURY IF THE CAR HIT AND OBJECT OR A PERSON. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CEMENT WALL OF A BUILDING.

FUEL GAUGE AND MILEAGE DISPLAY MALFUNCTIONING - FLICKERS ON AND OFF WITH INCOHERENT NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS. WILL GO OFF COMPLETELY AND REMAIN BLANKLY BACKLIT, SOMETIMES COMES BACK ON AND FLICKERS AND OFF AGAIN. IT WAS FLICKERING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

MY FATHER WAS IN A COLLISION AT 55 MPH WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE ILLEGALLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HIM, THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT INFLATE. THE ACCIDENT RESULTED IN INJURY TO HIS RIB CAGE AND FRACTURE OF HIS LOWER VERTEBRA.

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS (BUT THE TANK WAS FULL), THEN THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY PLACE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE.

MY 2015 HONDA FIT WITH 50,000 MILES HAD DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTORS. I'VE ALWAYS SERVICED THE VEHICLE REGULARLY. A CYLINDER STARTED MISFIRING (FAULT CODE PO301). I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER TO GET FIXED. THEY CHARGED ME $2000 TO CHANGE ALL THE INJECTORS. THE INJECTORS WERE OUT OF WARRANTY (3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES). MY CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH 50,000. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WENT TO TURN MY CAR ON, WHILE STATIONARY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIT UP OUT OF NOWHERE.THE TPMS SENSOR BEGAN FLASHING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ALONG WITH THE EPS & VSA LIGHTS. THE CAR JUST GOT TO 68K MILES. I WENT TO GET MY CAR SCANNED AND THE RESULT WAS A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT MANY OTHER CARS (OF THIS EXACT MODEL) HAD THIS SAME ISSUE & HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MINE HASN'T. I'M WORRIED IT MAY BECOME A BIGGER ISSUE TO MY SAFETY.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE AT 47,000 REQUIRING ALL FOUR INJECTORS NEEDING REPLACEMENT.

IN COLDER WEATHER, GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. WHEN CAR WARMS UP COMES BACK ON. HOWEVER, COULD TAKE UP TO TEN MINUTES. WHEN DRIVING, COULD RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT KNOWING.

PLASTIC ENGINE UNDER COVER WILL NOT STAY ATTACHED DUE TO DESIGN FLAW USING PLASTIC SCREWS TO HOLD IT ON. HAVE HAD MULTIPLE MECHANICS RE ATTACH AND THE ITEM HAS THE SAME ISSUE. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES SINCE CAR PURCHASE IN 2015. PANEL COMES UNATTACHED AFTER AN OIL CHANGE AND MAKES UNEXPECTED SOUNDS AND IMPAIRS DRIVER SAFETY.

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, A NOISE COULD SOMETIMES BE HEARD WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNING OVER. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE NOISE (I DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO, THIS CAME FROM ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2015 FIT. HIS IS A PUSH BUTTON START. MINE IS A KEY START.): HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=DIHLDJFGQJA RECENTLY, THE NOISE HAS STOPPED, BUT WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE DASH WILL TURN ON, LIGHTS, AC, ETC...BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE ACTUALLY TURNS OVER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2015 HONDA FIT, WITH MANY PEOPLE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE IT BETWEEN ABOUT 35K AND 50K MILES. THE CAR NOT STARTING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, THE ENGINE NOISE WAS GOING ON FOR MONTHS. HERE ARE LINKS OF OTHERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/FIT/2015/ENGINE/PREMATURE_STARTER_FAILURE.SHTML HTTPS://WWW.FITFREAK.NET/FORUMS/3RD-GENERATION-2015/97575-INTERMITTENT-STARTING-PROBLEM.HTML HTTPS://WWW.FITFREAK.NET/FORUMS/3RD-GENERATION-2015/97325-2015-FIT-WONT-START.HTML HTTPS://WWW.FITFREAK.NET/FORUMS/3RD-GENERATION-GK-SPECIFIC-DIY-REPAIR-MAINTENANCE-SUB-FORUM/96769-STARTER-REPLACEMENT-2015-EX-L.HTML HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/FIT/2015/ELECTRICAL/STARTER_FAILURE.SHTML HTTPS://TALK.DALLASMAKERSPACE.ORG/T/2015-HONDA-FIT-LX-RANDOM-NO-START-ISSUES-RESOLVED/27746 HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/HONDA/FIT/STARTER-PROBLEMS.PHP

OUR 2015 HONDA FIT, WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT, SUDDENLY STALLED RIGHT AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT AFTER TURNING OVER AND RUNNING FOR MAYBE 1 SECOND, THE ENGINE WOULD QUICKLY SHUT OFF AND WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, STALLING US IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 8-LANE AVENUE AND THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED UP A HILL AND OFF TO A SIDE ROAD AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. WITH MY SPOUSE AND FOUR MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, IT PUT MY FAMILY IN A GREAT DEAL OF DANGER. THE DEALER FINALLY CITED A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE THE FUEL RAIL. WITH SO MANY OTHERS REPORTING FAILURES WITH EITHER THE FUEL INJECTORS OR FUEL RAIL, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART(S) AND WILL HOPEFULLY BE RESOLVED BY HONDA. I COULD SEE THIS HAPPENING IF THE CAR WERE 10 YEARS OLD OR MORE, BUT ON A CAR WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES AND FOUR YEARS OLD? THAT DEFEATED THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF BUYING A SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE CAR FROM HONDA.

I COULD'VE DIED!! DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ALL OF SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED & MY CAR WOULDN'T GO. WAS TOLD IT WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER & FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. $2900. HAD THEM REPLACED & SAME DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK NO CHECK ENGINE CAME ON, WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE & JUST STOPPED GOING. I COULDN'T GIVE IT GAS & THE RPMS REVVED UP, CARS FLYING PAST ME TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER! IT WAS TERRIFYING!!! READ THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT HONDA MAKING CUSTOMERS PAY FOR IT. I BOUGHT THE FIT SO I COULD HAVE A RELIABLE COMMUTE & NOW I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE SHIFTER LIGHT WAS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,400.

MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS ONLY EVER BEEN USED FOR TRANSPORT FROM HOME TO SCHOOL. I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. A COUPLE MINUTES LATER, THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION, AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON ALL AT THE SAME TIME WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. MY CAR JERKED AND I LOST CONTROL FOR A BRIEF SECOND. THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE I'M IN MOTION AND IS ESPECIALLY TERRIFYING WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE AT A HIGHWAY SPEED. MANY PEOPLE WITH 2015 HONDA FITS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXPLORE THIS DANGER. A CAR THAT NEW WITH RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT PUT THEIR DRIVERS AT RISK.

PURCHASED CAR NEW FROM DEALER 7/2015. IN 2/2018 ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. HONDA REPLACED THE FUEL INJECTORS. SAME ISSUE AGAIN IN 4/2018 & HONDA REPLACED INJECTORS AGAIN. SERVICE REP (RICHFIELD- BLOOMINGTON HONDA) TOLD US THEY WERE SEEING THIS PROBLEM IN FITS THAT WERE LOW MILEAGE & "NOT DRIVEN MUCH." REP COULD NOT TELL US HOW MUCH DRIVING WOULD BE "ENOUGH" OR HOW TO AVOID FUTURE PROBLEMS. 4/2019 SAME PROBLEM --ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AGAIN & THIS TIME HONDA REPLACED THE CYLINDER HEAD. SERVICE DIRECTOR TOLD US THAT, WHILE THE CAR IS "CURRENTLY FIXED," HE "SEES NO REASON THIS PROBLEM WON'T CONTINUE TO HAPPEN" BC WE DON'T DRIVE MUCH. HE STATED THAT 2015 FIT HAS DIRECT INJECTION TECHNOLOGY & NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN MORE AT HIGH SPEEDS TO BURN OFF CARBON, BUT HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE DIDN'T "KNOW HOW MUCH WAS ENOUGH & IT'S NOT IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL." HE STATED "YOU'LL HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN NEXT WINTER OR SPRING." I ASKED THE SERVICE DIRECTOR WHAT THE RISKS ARE DRIVING WHEN THE INJECTORS & ENGINE HAVE BUILD-UP & HE SAID THE "CAR CAN SEIZE UP IF IT GETS BAD--IT HAS TO BE CLEANED OFF." I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE (MANUFACTURER, NOT DEALER) & EXPLAINED THIS AND THAT THEY HAVE A SERVICE DIRECTOR TELLING ME THE PROBLEM WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. HONDA REFUSED TO TAKE A REPORT "BECAUSE THE CAR IS OPERATING RIGHT NOW." ALL THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY; THESE REPAIRS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WANT OR EXPECT FROM A NEW VEHICLE. HONDA WI

CAR STALLS WHEN WARMED UP. THEN WILL NOT START UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLS DOWN. THIS FIT WAS MADE IN 8/14 AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL NUMBER 15V559. CAR HESITATED AS WE TRIED TO ENTER AT A YIELD WITH A CAR APPROACHING CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR US. DEALER SAID IT WAS ALL 4 BAD FUEL INJECTORS, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATCH THE SYMPTOMS. I SUSPECT THE COILS ARE AT FAULT ONCE THEY HEAT UP AND FAIL.

DASH SCREEN GOES BLANK AND CAN NOT READ AMOUNT OF FUEL LEFT OR CURRENT MILEAGE. TOOK THE CAR TO HONDA DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE FAULTY PART AND NEED TO GET IT FIXED

STARTER STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AFTER LESS THAN 60,000 MILES. FINALLY FAILED AT 65,000 AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ONLINE BLOGS INDICATE I'M NOT ALONE, BUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN HONDA FIT ISSUE.

CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 48,000 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE FUEL INJECTORS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN ON FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS FOR ALL VIN'S OF THE HONDA FIT 2015, AND THE NTSB NUMBER FOR THAT IS: A16-034. BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP COVER THE COSTS. LOOKING AT $1800 IN REPAIRS FOR AN ISSUES THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. UNBELIEVABLE.

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE A FEW CARS AHEAD OF ME SOMEONE WAS STOPPED TO TURN LEFT. I WAS REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE IN A NISSAN ROGUE SUV WHICH HIT ME WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO PUSH MY CAR FORWARD AND SMASH ME INTO A FORD EXPLORER. I WAS HIT TWICE AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY CAR SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL REAR-END AND FRONT DAMAGE. SO MUCH SO THAT THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND FROM THE DAMAGE DONE SHOULD HAVE. IF IT HAD, I WOULD OF SUSTAINED LESS INJURIES FROM MY ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, CHECK ENGINE, AND STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUJACK HONDA (3707 N HARRISON ST, DAVENPORT, IA 52806) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09535823. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,161.

DASH SCREEN GOES BLANK AND CAN NOT READ AMOUNT OF FUEL LEFT OR CURRENT MILEAGE.

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY 2015 HONDA FIT WON'T START ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. I HAVE REPLACED THE KEY BATTERY, HAD THE CAR BATTERY CHECKED BY HONDA DEALER. WENT ON LINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE STARTER PROBLEMS. BOUGHT BRAND NEW END OF 2915, 4 YR OLD CAR SEEMS TO SOON TO REPLACE STARTER. I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.. ONCE CAR IS TURNED OFF I ALWAYS HAVE THE ANXIETY, FEAR..".WILL MY CAR START WHEN I'M READY TO GO?"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 22 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON THE FRONT END AND FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BURN INJURIES FROM THE AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 19008011 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,046.

TRANSMISSION FAILED VERY SUDDENLY AT 77,600 MILES WITH NO PRIOR SIGNS THAT IT WAS HAVING ISSUES. LUCKILY CAR WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY IMMOBILIZED. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN. HUNDREDS OF METAL SHARDS WERE FOUND INSIDE THE PAN.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE PLASTIC ENGINE SPLASH GUARD CAME OFF AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD AT 80 MPH. ONLY 1 PIN WAS LEFT IN ON INSPECTION. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE A TIRE WENT FLAT. THIS GUARD MUST BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND IT WAS CHANGED BY DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PRIOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE 14 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. THE CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN ARE PLASTIC, THEY DO NOT HOLD AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AFTER EVERY OIL CHANGE. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ROAD HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN HAND FIT FORUMS. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND MANY OWNERS HAVE TAKEN TO PUTTING ON ZIP TIES AFTER OIL CHANGES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPX 65 MILES PER HOUR DURING THE EVENING OF 2/14, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BRIEFLY LIT THEN SHUT-OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. AFTER DEPRESSING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION BUTTON ABOUT 10 TIMES, THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH NOT STARTING SINCE 02/02. THE DEALER REPLACED THE START BUTTON ON 2/5 AND REPLACED THE STARTER ON 2/12. EVEN AFTER THOSE REPLACEMENTS, THE CAR STILL HAS ISSUES STARTING.

VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATOR IS DEFECTIVE AND CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. THE ISSUE MANIFESTS ITSELF AS AN OCCASSIONAL INNOCUOUS RATTLE AT COLD-START (AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT). AMERICAN HONDA HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN 16-088 (FEBRUARY 2017) TO ADDRESS DEFECTIVE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING CONTROL (VTC) ACTUATORS ON THE 2015 HONDA FIT (HTTPS://TESTING-PUBLIC.CARMD.COM/TSB/DOWNLOAD/118695/A16-088) AND MANY MORE SERVICE BULLETINS FOR DEFECTIVE VTC ACTUATORS IN OTHER OF ITS VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS (E.G. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2016/SB-10088283-2280.PDF). WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO VIDEO-RECORD ONE OF THE EPISODES AND GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER - WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND PERFORMED REPAIR. IT IS UNSETTLING THAT HONDA IS NOT BEING PROACTIVE IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE BEFORE AN EXPLODING EYING CAUSES HARM.

THE DASHBOARD ELECTRONIC DISPLAY CONTAINING THE FUEL GAUGE AND MILEAGE GOES BLANK (BLUE SCREEN) WHEN IT IS COLDER THAN ABOUT 70 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THE INFORMATION IN THE DISPLAY REAPPEARS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS ABOVE 70 DEGREES OR AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 MONTHS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS THE CAR HAS. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE APPEAR IN MULTIPLE FORUMS ONLINE, ALL CONCERNING THE SAME ELECTRONIC DISPLAY IN THE FIT GOING BLANK AT LOWER TEMPERATURES. CLEARLY IT IS A FAULTY PART, COSTING ME ABOUT $700 PLUS LABOR TO REPLACE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED. PARKER HONDA (LOCATED AT 5327 HWY 70 W, MOREHEAD CITY, NC 28557, (252) 247-2488) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

VEHICLE HAS 48,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TOOK IT INTO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. ALL FOUR FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO GUMMING (NOT DUE TO QUALITY OF FUEL). THE VEHICLE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL SERVICING IN 2016 THAT COULD AFFECT THE FUEL INJECTORS, BUT NO ISSUES WERE RECORDED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN ON FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS FOR ALL VIN'S OF THE HONDA FIT 2015, AND THE NTSB NUMBER FOR THAT IS: A16-034. BOTH SERVICE TECHS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT HONDA FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE ABNORMAL ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THE ISSUE EFFECTED ALL FOUR INJECTORS, NOT JUST ONE.

MY HONDA DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY CAR COULD NOT BE PROPERLY ALIGNED WITHOUT A SHIM WHICH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT GET THEIR HANDS ON. THEY HAD TRIED SEVERAL PROVIDERS. THEY STATED "THIS MUST BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL CAR." THIS, AFTER BEING TOLD THAT I MUST REPLACE TWO TIRES DUE TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. I HAD REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES @ 34,520 MILES, AND NOW AT 58,867 I WAS NEEDING TO REPLACE TWO TIRES AGAIN. THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE OF THE TOE, I WAS ESSENTIALLY DRAGGING MY REAR TIRES CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR AND TEAR. NOT TO MENTION REDUCING GAS MILEAGE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AFTER LOOKING ON-LINE AT WHETHER OR NOT OTHER'S ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

CAR (FIT) WAS HIT RIGHT BEHIND DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. FIT WAS TRAVELING 25 MPH WHEN HIT BY CAR WHO RAN STOP CONTROL.

4 WARNING LIGGHTS GLOWED. SAFTEY BREAKING,STEERING, TIRES, ENGINE LIGHTS.AUG. 21,2018 TOOK TO HONDA DEALER. FOUND MISFIRE CYLINDER #1. REPLACEMENT OF CYLINDER WAS DONE REPLACED IGNITION COILS. CAR WAS FINE. ON OCT 28,2018 AGAIN SAME LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN ! FOUND ONLINE THERE WAS A SAFTYE RECALL DONE FOR THIS ISSUE. BUT MY CAR HAD NO RECALLS. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND FRIGHTEING.

YESTERDAY (9/14/18) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK FOUR OF THE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ON CITY STREETS IN SARASOTA, FL. THE LIGHTS WERE TPMS, EMISSIONS, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN WHEN I ARRIVED HOME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, VENICE HONDA, FOR THIS MORNING 9/15/18. THEY INFORMED ME THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400. THE ESTIMATE IS ATTACHED. I BALKED AT THE COST OF THE REPAIR AFTER THEY INFORMED ME THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY HONDA AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. I FOUND THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT TWO (2) YEARS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE COULD STALL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR AT LEAST 50% OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR.
