FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
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

Hoping there software upgrades.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

SEAT BELTS
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.
