2019 Honda Fit complaints

To whom it may concern, I am seeing a Failing Odometer Display in my 2019 Honda Fit. I've reported to both Dean Honda, and now Washington Honda here in Pennsylvania. Seems to be more prevalent in the morning, lasting anywhere between a few minutes or up to an hour. During this time, I either see just a backlight with Zero Information being Displayed or unidentifiable Hieroglyphics being displayed. I am unable to view Miles/gal, Time, Oil Life, Trip Odometer and the Odometer Reading. Which brings me to my next point, is the mileage actually being calculated while this display is either off or unreadable? Thank you kindly in advance for your time and consideration. It also seems as others are reporting this as well at least on Honda Forums, although there isn't a recall yet that covers this.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The dashboard display that shows fuel gauge, mileage, and maintenance minders glitches. Frequently some components of the numbers and gauges aren't visible, while other times the display is completely blank. An unreliable fuel gauge is a safety issue if fuel runs out and disrupts traffic/causes an accident. Unknown maintenance needs can cause several electrical and mechanical safety issues. This glitch has been occurring for 4-5 months but has gotten more frequent and more persistent in the last several weeks. I have an inspection scheduled with the dealership.

All four fuel injectors have failed. Car only has 42,500 miles. Known issue and recall already in effect for previous years of same make and model

At 50,0341miles, after a routine B1 service (oil change and transmission) the LKAS, Brake system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beam assist lights all began to turn on every two to three times I turned on my car. These lights will light up on my dash and stay on for the entire drive (with the systems not working). Then they will not be on for a few drives. Then they will go on again. This is an intermittent problem and only happens every other time I start the car (so it appears the camera is “dying” or faulty, not damaged due to negligence.) I have not broken the windshield and have treated this car very well. With this camera breaking, I will lose the safety features included in my car until I can afford to pay the dealership $2000 to fix the camera in the windshield. I will no longer have cruise control (which I can live without), however I am concerned about the loss of the braking system and lane controls. This seems to be a known issue as there are many other Honda owners online dealing with similar issues around the same mileage in their cars with the same years (but many different model cars). Honda had no concern when I reached out to the dealership (who performed the original B1 service), and immediately knew what was wrong when I explained what lights went on, could tell me the cost of a camera replacement, and told me it was nothing they did during the service appointment I had with them. If they are truly having these ca

My car is 2019 Honda Fit (16500 mileage) Four dashboard warning signs (Check Engine Light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Vehicle Stability Assist System, Electric Power Steering) appeared all at once suddenly on June 26, 2024. I went to the Honda dealer shop to fix it. First they changed spark plugs. After one-day driving it happened again. They changed fuel injectors. Then it happened again after one-day driving. I searched the web and found it is a common problem in Honda Fit. Some of 2019 Honda Fit has a extended warranty for fuel injection replacement, but it is not applicable to my car. Feels like there is no problem while driving with those 4 warning lights. But who knows some serious problems or accident will happen because of this problem.

The fuel gauge fails to illuminate when the weather is cold ....faulty instrument design ....unable to know the amount of fuel in the vehicle

Upon starting the car, all warning lights came on as disabled for the ACC/LKAS system and could not be reset by the driver. Mechanic shop stated that the battery was dying, needed replaced then driven 50 miles for the ACC/LKAS system to reset. A few weeks later there was no change. Independent mechanic stated that the error code "U300049 Multipurpose Camera Unit Internal Electronic Failure" was permanent and would need dealership assistance. Dealership stated that the camera system needed replaced and recalibrated to the tune of $1600. I find it extremely hard to believe this system failed by itself, rather was caused by bad design as this was a battery that needed replaced. Safety is at risk as the ACC/LKAS and automatic emergency braking systems were permanently disabled on the vehicle and cannot be used.

Fuel injector is going bad on my car at 80,000 miles causing catalytic converter to go bad based on two check engine codes. Recall done on 2015-2016 models so hoping this could be extended to 2019 as it seems they haven’t fixed the issue

Connected my cellphone and think a hacker is affecting auto systems: alternator not consistently charging (new battery & alternator checked good), lane assist turns off in curves & when wipers on, navigation system frozen on test screen (tried resetting pressing three buttons aslearned on youtube), display of % to next oil change frozen at 70%. Hoping there software upgrades.

Fuel Gauge Display is BLANK in temperatures below 40 degrees fahrenheit when engine starts. Mileage, Trip A/B, MPG calculation, fuel gauge, and MPG trip avg. do not come up for >20 minutes and often require reset of trip odometer. SAFETY ISSUE- FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT APPEAR UPON START OF VEHICLE ENGINE

I bought this vehicle brand new in February of 2019. The right-hand side dashboard display does not work in cold weather and will eventually function when the interior of the car warms up. The right-hand side dashboard display contains vital safety related information, including the fuel gauge, servicing messages, and the odometer. When researching this issue on the internet, this is a common problem and is costly to repair. My vehicle is no longer under warranty and I do not want to incur the cost of repair. I am asking that a vehicle recall be instituted for 2019 Honda Fits regarding this safety related matter. As an aside, during my first year after purchasing this vehicle, when the vehicle was under warranty, the entire dashboard was flickering off and on and I immediately drove the vehicle to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They kept the vehicle for over one week to repair but I incurred no cost for the repair because the vehicle was under warranty. These issues, as indicated above, appear to be systemic safety related concerns and Honda should be mandated to implement a recall so that these issues are repaired by Honda free of charge.

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the condition of my vehicle, which I purchased new (0 miles) in June 2018 . I have encountered significant issues with the paint peeling and mold growth in various areas such as trunk, hood, fenders. It is distressing to note that despite regular maintenance and care, the paint has begun to peel off in several places, exposing the underlying surface and compromising the appearance of the vehicle. additionally , the presence of mold poses a health and safety risk, as mold spores can cause respiratory health issues . I believe these issues are indicative defective materials used in the manufacturing process. thank you for your attention

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the "Lane Departure" warning light illuminated, and the vehicle independently steered to the left. The contact used force to jerk the steering wheel to the right. The contact stated that the Lane Departure warning light turned off once the vehicle was in a lane. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently. The contact stated that she had been left several times stranded on the road and required Roadside Assistance. The contact stated that Roadside Assistance was able to jumpstart the vehicle. The contact stated that she had the battery replaced three times. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing. Additionally, the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated erroneously. The contact stated that the brake warning would illuminate, and the vehicle would slow down independently with no vehicle or object in front of the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where the dealer reset the warning lights on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.

See attached document for complaint

Console display flickers with garbage characters (sometimes) or is blank (most times). This is a safety concern because: 1) a blank display prevents viewing of gas tank level, 2) the TPMS warning light remains lit despite being checked and reset by the dealer, and 3) other warning light states are unknown. This exact issue has been noted by many internet posts, and appears tied to faulty manufacture (cracked solder on display control board.)

Consistently since I bought the car I have warning lights turn on when nothing is wrong with it. At first it started with the tire pressure light and after owning it for 3 years now, over the past two weeks I've had a ton of warning lights turn on and I've had two mechanics look at it and see nothing wrong with the vehicle. After doing some research online, I've learned that I am not the only 2019 Honda Fit owner who has had this happen, and it seems to be happening in a lot of people's cars

Recently the readings on the gauge with my odometer, gas gauge, and oil life will flicker or glitch when the weather is cold. After about 15 minutes the gauge will go blank but will still have the backlight glow to it. It will continue to glitch if I turn the car off and on again quickly but if I let it sit for a while, the gauge is fine when I turn the car back on and until I start driving. I brought it to my dealership and they said this is a known problem with the Hond Fit and the replacement cost for the gauge would be $1000. I feel this is a safety risk because I cannot see my gas level or oil life left when it's off. And I'm not sure if it's affecting the odometer readings.

Instrument cluster display failing. Unable to get fuel gauge or miles off the vehicle. Without The fuel gauge hard to tell when running low on fuel

The small display on the dash that shows, odometer readings, and fuel gage, has started having problems. It will either show nothing at all, or will be a mixed up, unreadable bunch of characters. Looking online this is a fairly common problem with the second generation of Honda Fits 2015 and newer. As this is the overall odometer reading for the car, as well as fuel gauge, and no other way to display that information, this is a big problem.

The paint has begun peeling off the roof of our vehicle after only 45,000 miles and 3 and a half years of ownership. There is no external damage to the vehicle and the paint job is clearly defective. We were given the runaround by our local dealer until the warranty period expired and now are being told it is our responsibility to fix.

This vehicle has not been inspected by dealership, nor insurance. Suddenly all warning lamps(LKAP, RDMP, CMSP, ABP with the Break System) went on. Im just affraid of an accident that could be caused by the failure of the systems. Lamps have been on for at least 4 months. It also had a recall for the fuel system, it was supposed to been taken care at a dealership but now the engine lamp is on as well with fuel emissions system. Yes, this vehicle is available to be inspected at any time. Im just don't feel safe driving it.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The first time, the contact stated that while driving at a low rate of speed, the vehicle independently lurched forward without warning before the vehicle corrected itself and resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to a dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated and no fault was found with the vehicle. A year later while the contact's husband had come to a complete stop at a stop sign; the vehicle's engine began to rev while making a right turn. The vehicle then independently accelerated as the contact's husband attempted to avoid hitting a barrier in the middle of a traffic circle. The contact's husband steered the vehicle off the road and drove the vehicle into some rocks and shrubbery which flattened the front passenger tire and damaged the front end of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy during the incident and no injuries were reported. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10, 800.

I have a 2019 Honda Fit Sport. Within the last year, the instrument panel with all notifications regarding the vehicle, such as the fuel level, check engine light, low tire pressure light, low oil pressure, and any notifications regarding the braking systems, began flickering intermittantly. Now the instrument panel is completely blank. This has been confirmed by the Capital Honda in Lansing, Michigan when I took the vehicle in for service. This appears to be a common issue as I found numerous forums online that indicate that this is an issue with multiple years of the Honda Fit, but other Honda models as well. This is a safety issue because if any of these notifications should be on but cannot display because of a faulty instrument panel, I would never know. The car could run out of gas, the brakes could fail or the engine could fail and I would not know until it was too late.

While driving the emission system problem warning came up on my dash with the check engine light. After this happened it became incredibly hard to accelerate the engine. I was driving on the freeway and attempting to merge putting my life and my families at risk because the engine was trying to accelerate but sputtering and stopping for a moment instead. It hasn’t been inspected by police, but went to dealer and got code P219A and was told this was a faulty fuel injector. This was the first time this had happened and no other warning lights came on before the emission system problem that popped up on the dash.

The rear left seatbelt is frayed where it meets the interior wall of the car behind the rear passenger door. This seat has never been used by any passengers that I can recall and only happened to notice it while cleaning. It was inspected by a Honda dealer and was advised it was not covered under warranty as it was usual wear and tear despite it never being used. After looking online, others have experienced the same issue on the same side of the rear passenger seat with third generation (2015+) Honda Fit vehicles. Since it is not being used, it is available to be inspected prior to replacing the defective seat belt.

My 2019 honda fit only has 61k miles. I was driving on the freeway and the fuel pump went it almost cause to get into an accident lost of power to the engine drastically slowed me down. Got a scanner to scan the problem and the fuel pump came out as the error code. I bought my car brand new. The pump shouldn't of gave out so soon

The paint is peeling on the hood of the car between the moon roof and the windshield. There may be more minor paint peeling on the rear hood closer to the hatchback.

When starting vehicle all warning lights became illuminated. Was able to drive car, however vehicle felt rough at idle and driver felt unsafe operating vehicle. When taken to mechanic it was found the fuel injectors need to be replaced. Vehicle was purchased from dealership with this issue occurring only 8 days after purchase and is not covered by warranty.

Fuel injectors failed after 40,000 miles, not covered under powertrain warranty. Honda Fits have a history of defective fuel injectors with TSBs issued years later. Car is no longer running emissions complaint. Honda denied any warranty goodwill coverage

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow as needed. The check engine and power steering assist warning lights were illuminated. On other occasions, while driving at approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle veered into another lane. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000.

Breaks, control of vehicle staying in lane -lane departure failure, door locks, auto remote failure, multiple warning lights system failures on dash, vehicle lights. car has gone off road, right on highway (right lane) and left on highway to middle lane, almost hit other vehicle. Dealer put new batteries in remote (second new set) low battery alert 2 hours later, remote failure. passed diagnostic scan. (southern honda, Savannah GA) Since then the info-system I believe to be hacked. I found vin number and other "computer" listings in vehicle including wi-fi enable, phone numbers not belonging to me, web sites, etc, I was able to remove and I reset to factory settings twice. The Honda link has now activated itself, selections "grayed out" (I always used apple/car play honda link was never used. My I phone was then hacked, hackers have complete control remotely over the phone live time, able to see screen and make changes. I am now in atlanta, I contacted dealership here where the vehicle was purchased. I also asked for the Honda Link to be turned off and if needed to please turn off/disconnect the system for safety if they are unable to remove/install "non hacking software?". Was told Honda link was not activtated, and I would be responsible for repair charges "if determined not covered under my warranty. Auto is not safe to drive, I do not have finances to pay for repairs, was unable to leave the car. Informed dealership that I looked up Honda link and activation/deactivation

There's an electrical defect on the 2019 Honda Fit dashboard. The Electrical part of the dashboard that shows the Odometer, fuel level, speed and temp glitches, especially when cold. I bought my vehicle in March of 2022 form a Honda Dealership. It happened a few times towards the end of the 2022 when it became cold in Los Angeles. But as its been cold the first few months of this year, it has happened much more often. It glitches (see attached image.) and sometimes does not come on at all (see attached Photo) This is a safety hazard as I can not see how much fuel I have left in the vehicle. My car is just passed my 1 year dealership warranty. There are many forums online of others reporting the same thing, that priced the repair at $1100. I filed a complaint with Honda, but the costumer service with the repair department said there aren't other records with them- that this is an issue which is false as I have found 100s of owners online complaining online, asking about what to do about it.

Intermittent problem with gas gauge going totally blue with no display of information. No prior problems. Recently started and have not been to dealer about it. To date, has not lasted more than 20 minutes before returning to normal, with all info displayed. Without that gauge, the possibility of running out of gas on interstate or other busy road is highly likely and very dangerous. Usually happen when I start car. There is no warning.

All 4 of my fuel injectors were faulty even though I only had 61,000 miles on my car. All were and had to be replaced before further damage was done or before my safety was compromised further.

The multi information display which includes the gas gauge, odometer, and repair reminders began having problems around September 2022. The display would blink on and off, sometimes go completely blank or sometimes show jumbled characters. When I first noticed this the weather was extremely hot. Later in the fall, when it began to get cold, it would not work normally until the temperature rose above 30 or so. I consider this a safety issue mainly because of the gas gauge not being visible. The solution by Honda was to replace it but because my car was just out of warranty, it was going to cost over $1100. The dealer confirmed that they had seen the problem before and asked Honda about paying for the repair. Honda only agreed to pay half of it.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while refueling the vehicle, he stepped away from the vehicle then returned and noticed that fuel had splattered out of the fuel tank filler neck. The contact then stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated however, after driving a half mile, the check engine warning light turned off. The contact was concerned that the vehicle was designed to drain the extra fuel but failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that fuel had entered the canister and the charcoal filter and the canister needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 17,081.

There is an electrical problem with the electronic display used for the fuel gauge, odometer, and driving range indication. The safety concern is running out of gas while in a hazardous location on the road. I believe the problem has been around for at least two years. It only happens when the car is cold. The display is restored at some point after the car is warm. I have always assumed it was a loose connection that I would get charged a lot of money to fix. Some posts online indicate this problem does exist with others. One suggestion was even that it had to do with soldering and therefore would be an expensive repair to replace at least one part. If this is really a recognized problem, it would be nice if Honda would do a recall of whatever is faulty. For now I am just living with it and hoping it won't fail all together.

When the vehicle is cold (in the 4 years I have owned this car-bought new), this month is the first incidence this has occurred (Three times so far) The fuel gage, trip meter, odometer, clock and MPG display will show gibberish when the car is first started and then either keep the gibberish or then show nothing. When the car is warmed up, the gage operates as normal. The speedometer thankfully is not affected. Nor is the tachometer affected. While most of the gages being intermittently out is more of an annoyance, I'd REALLY like to know how much fuel I have, especially as the odometer/trip meter likewise die. I live in Louisiana. This problem would be a real concern in a more northern state. Everything I've read consistently stated that the problem was due to soldering developing cracks due to repeated expansion/contraction due to heat/cold. That in turn causes intermittent failure in cold weather.

The electronic odometer and audio control displays will blink on and off, or will display gibberish. The odometer display shows the gas gauge, which if not properly displayed, the car could run out of gas when driving. The audio display shows the car's performance.

Engine light came on and it was brought to the dealership and I was told all fuel injectors need to be replaced and it wouldn't be under warranty. The car has 65,000 miles on which is just over warranty, but I should still not have had to replace these yet. There have been other problems with the fuel system with the fuel pump recall and they have extended the warranty on fuel injectors in other Honda vehicles, which leads me to believe this is a greater problem than just my car and it should still be covered by Honda.

Multiple warning lights come on and won't turn off. We have taken to be repaired twice at a non-Honda repair shop. No issues with any of the sensors could be found and everything was reset. We just picked up our car for the second incident on 10/28 and now on 10/31 it has happened for the third time. This seems very unsafe as I am not sure if the safety features will work properly of if it will have a major malfunction while driving and possibly cause an accident.

November 2021 vehicle exhibits rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 13,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service center performs intake valve cleaning of carbon buildup and update to software under warranty. Within twelve months, October 2022, vehicle exhibits similar rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 20,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service initiated again.

The display has stopped functioning in cold weather. The odometer, fuel level, and lights on dash fail to work during cold weather. This is a safety hazard and prevents the driver from being able to monitor fuel levels. This has been happening since 20k miles. A quick search online has shown that this is a common problem amongst Honda Fits and it should be a recall. I have even reached out to dealerships and they are also aware of the problem. Honda needs to take responsibility and see that this gets fixed.

4 warning lights appeared 10/11/2022 (VSA, Engine, EPS and TPMS) The next day a local mechanic found code PO302. Misfire on cylinder no 2. Recommended take car to dealer for warranty work related to fuel injectors. Honda dealer found same code PO302 on 10/18/22 and instructed car needs a Walnut Blast, $700, not covered by extended powertrain warranty. The Honda Fit is known to have problems with fuel injectors, is at risk for stalling and the repair should be covered under the warranty.

My Fit was purchased in May of 2019. On October 2022, all warning lights (tpms, check engine, lane assist, etc) suddenly turned on when the vehicle was turned on. The car was taken to the same Honda dealer where it purchased and the service department determined the problem to be a cylinder misfire (P0303, cylinder #3). Since I immediately took the vehicle to be serviced, I was able to avoid a likely engine stall that other Fit owners have been experiencing. My vehicle has had all of its required and recommended maintenance performed on time at the same Honda dealer where it was purchased, including replacing the fuel pump at 15k miles and performing decarb service at 20k miles. Even though my Fit was maintained to the exact specifications Honda required, the car still had this fuel system failure which the service department was unable to explain nor were they willing to comp despite having an extended warranty (also purchased at dealer). This error code is the same problem that triggered a service bulletin on all previous model years which Honda covered but has not done so for this model year. I spoke with Honda Customer Service department (1-800-999-1009, option 1, 6, 5) and their warranty department but neither were willing to help because it was beyond the 3yr/36k coverage and was not covered by the extended warranty.
