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

WATER ENTERS THE CAR EXCESSIVELY WHENEVER IT RAINS. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE ONLINE, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY FIT OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS THAT WATER COMES IN AROUND THE WINDOWS AND THE PLASTIC SHEETING INSIDE THE DOOR COMPARTMENT ISN'T SEALED CORRECTLY, SO INSTEAD OF SHEDDING THE WATER TO OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IT ALLOWS THE WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AROUND THE REAR SPEAKERS. I'M NOT SURE YET HOW IT IS GETTING INTO THE HATCH AREA. I TYPICALLY HAVE MY REAR SEATS DOWN, SO I DIDN'T NOTICE THE TWO INCHES OF STANDING WATER IN MY BACKSEAT. FURTHER INVESTIGATION LED ME TO FIND TWO INCHES IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT AS WELL. JUDGING BY THE RUST DISINTEGRATED JACK IN THE SPARE TIRE COMPARTMENT, THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. MY REAR SEAT, CARPET, AND CARPET PAD HAVE BEEN SOAKED FOR SO LONG THAT WHEN I WAS VACUUMING THE WATER OUT OF THE CAR TODAY, I SAW WHITE MOLD GROWING ALONG THE TOP OF MY REAR SEATS. I'M SURE THE CAR IS LOADED WITH MOLD AND POSSIBLY NEEDS TO BE TOTALED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS NOW PRESENTS MAJOR HEALTH RISKS. *TR

ONE YEAR AGO AN AXLE BROKE ON MY 2011 HONDA FIT. I HAD IT REPLACED. TODAY THE OTHER AXLE BROKE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM. IN BOTH CASES, IT HAPPENED WHEN I MADE A FAIRLY HARD U-TURN AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE TO COMPLETE A THREE POINT TURN. I'M ASSUMING THE EXTRA FORCE ON THE SHAFT HAD TO DO WITH HAVING THE WHEELS TURNED HARD AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO REVERSE THEM, PERHAPS WHILE THEY WERE STILL MOVING. REGARDLESS, THIS SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN SO EASILY ON A CAR THAT'S NOT THAT OLD.

THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000 < MILES. I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THAT LED TO A HIGHWAY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE.I HAD THE CAR BROUGHT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP. UPON THEIR INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD BOTH FRONT AXLES WERE BROKEN. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REP, ONE AXLE DISINTEGRATED AND THE OTHER HAD A NOTICEABLE CRACK IN IT. I REQUESTED THE DAMAGED COMPONENTS BE SAVED FOR AN INVESTIGATION ISN'T THIS A SAFETY CONCERN? WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY?

WHEN MY WIFE BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET AND SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, SHE HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN SCRAPING NOISES. THE CAR THEN COULDN'T MOVE AND WE HAD TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND PUSH THE CAR BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY TO BE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. HE LATER TOLD US THAT THE LEFT FRONT AXLE BROKE AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE WOULD PROBABLY GO IN TWO MONTHS. IT TURNED OUT TO BE SEVERAL WEEKS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE IN A PARKING LOT. WHEN I SHIFTED TO DRIVE, THE SAME POP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. THE CAR WAS TOWED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE BROKE.

I WAS MAKING A WIDE TURN GOING FORWARD ON A HIGHWAY. I COULDNT COMPLETE THE TURN SUCCESSFULLY BECAUSE THE ROAD WASNT WIDE ENOUGH, SO I STOPPED AND CHANGED GEARS TO REVERSE TO BACK UP. THAT IS WHEN THE AXLE BROKE. IT PROBABLY HAD THE MOST TORQUE ON IT AND PERHAPS I DIDNT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME TO SHIFT FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE.

I THINK A LOT OFF PEOPLE CAN AGREE THAT LIGHTS ON HIGHER END, NEW CARS ARE WAY TOO BRIGHT TO THE POINT THAT THEY CAN BE BLINDING AND IT'S OFTEN DIFFICULT TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIGH BEAMS AND LOW BEAMS

ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 28 MY RIGHT AXLE BROKE. IN HALF. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR UP THEY BROUGHT ME THE BROKEN AXLE WHICH WAS ALL RUSTED. I CONSIDER THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND EVERYONE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS A VERY UNEXPECTED THING TO HAPPEN ON A 2013 CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA AND VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY IN THIS HAPPENING. THANKFULLY, THIS OCCURRED WHEN I WAS STATIONARY AT A LIGHT IN MY OWN TOWN. THE CAR SEEMED TO BE DRIVING NORMALLY AND I CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND BRAKED AS USUAL. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE CAR RACED AND THERE WAS CLICKING NOISE. THE CAR WAS IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN IT OCCURRED AND I NEED TO TAKE MY OWN SAFETY INTO MY HANDS BY RUNNING TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, NEEDING TO GET HELP TO PUSH THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE FO THE ROAD.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2017 HONDA FIT LX. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DECLINE ON A CITY STREET I WAS TAPPING THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT AT OR UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT. AS I GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE DECLINE THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED SO I APPLIED THE BRAKES SIGNIFICANTLY HARDER AND CONSTANT. AS I BRAKED FOR THE STOPLIGHT THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND I HAD A HARD TIME COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE STOPLIGHT. EVEN AT A COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE WAS REVVING. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO TRY TO STOP THE ENGINE FROM REVVING BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT A CONSTANT RATE. I TRIED TO TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND PUT IT IN A LOW GEAR TO GET THE SYSTEM TO RESET BUT I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. THE ONLY THING THAT STOPPED THE ENGINE FROM REVVING WAS TURNING THE CAR OFF. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE AS I STOPPED AND WHY IT CONTINUED IN PARK BUT I FIGURED IF IT HAPPENED TO ME THAT IT COULD ALSO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE IN THE FUTURE SO IT SHOULD BE REPORTED

THE FUEL GUAGE HAS STOPPED WORKING AT 35,000 MILES. IT IS BACKLIT BUT NO INFORMATION IN THE DISPLAY. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE DISPLAY QUIT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY CHANGED THE OIL AND RESET THE MAINTENANCE LOG AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. WHEN I GOT HOME, THE DISPLAY WENT BLANK AGAIN.

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.
