POWER TRAIN
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

POWER TRAIN
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.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

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.

WHEELS
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.
