I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAR LEFT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THEN I LOST THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE D ON THE DASHBOARD BECAME FULL WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LETTERS. A DISTINCT LETTER WAS NOT VISIBLE. TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, I WAS LUCKY TO REACH IT BEING ON THE I10 WEST IN SAN BERNARDINO. TURNED OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED, BUT IT DIDN'T ENGAGE. THE ONLY FUNCTION THAT WORKS IS PARK. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. WAITING TO BE TOWED TO SPREEN HONDA IN LOMA LINDA.

THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER ARE NOT VISIBLE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE SCREEN WILL GLITCH MAKING IT UNUSABLE AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH FUEL IS REMAINING. DUE TO THE WAY THE CAR'S DISPLAYS ARE LAID OUT, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO CALCULATE OUT MANY MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR TO MAKE THIS ISSUE MORE THAN A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING THIS CAR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH A 2015-20 HONDA FIT. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I TOOK CAR IN FOR SNOW TIRE CHANGE OVER AND THE TIRE SHOP SAID CAR NEED ALIGNMENT DONE, BECAUSE THE TIRE WEAR WAS CONSISTENT OUT ALIGNMENT, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK ALIGNMENT SHOP, AFTER THEY ALIGN THE CAR, THEY ASK ME IF THE CAR WAS EVER IN CRASH, WHICH I STATE NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT. CAR NOT BUT IT OVERDUE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE HAD ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON IT, THE REAR AXLE WAS OUT ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAID CANNOT BE ALIGN. SO, I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY HAD ME TAKE TO DEALER TO VERIFY, WHICH AFTER VERIFYING IN ALIGNMENT. I DROVE BACK THE TIRE SHOP THEY REAR MEASURE AGAIN AND THE REAR STILL OUT ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, THE TOE ONE THE RIGHT REAR HAD CHANGE FROM 3 DAYS OF NORMAL FORM -0.02 DEGREES TO +0.09 DEGREE DIFFERENT OF .11 DEGREE AND LEFT REAR MOVE IN TOE ABOUT .04 DEGREE. THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP DID QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SAY THESE CARS HAVE HABIT FLEX AND TWISTING THE REAR AXLE. I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2020, ASK DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHAT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT FROM DRIVING IN CONNECTICUT AND NEW ENGLAND AKA POTHOLE AND BUMPS IN THE ROAD FROM NORMAL DRIVING. PLEASE NOTE THE DEALERSHIP USED ALIGNMENT MEASURE DEVICE YOU DRIVE THRU WHILE THE TIRE SHOP USED A LIFT AND MIRROR AND LASERS TO MEASURE. I BELIEVE INCREASE TIRE WEAR IN BACK WILL BE PROBLEM AND LOWER OVER THE CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE AS WHEEL NOT TRACKING RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE IN UNDERSIZE FOR THE CAR OR HAS FLAW IN THE METAL THAT USED THE BUILD THE CARS. I WOULD UP THE REPORT, BUT THEY CONTAIN VIN NUMBER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I'M REPORTING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 HONDA FIT WHICH HASN'T YET BEEN LISTED AS A RECALL ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP I VISITED ADVISED ME TO WAIT TO FIX THE ISSUE ASSUMING THAT A RECALL WILL BE ISSUED SOON, OR TO WAIT UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS UNTENABLE. ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASH BOARD ( FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT) NEXT TO THE STEERING COLUMN THERE IS SMALL DIGITAL GAUGE IN THE SHAPE OF A CIRCLE. THIS GAUGE INCLUDES A CLOCK, FUEL GAUGE, OIL LIFE INDICATOR, ETC. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THIS GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY FLASH AND THEN GO COMPLETELY BLANK. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE GAUGE RETURNS TO NORMAL. WHEN THE GAUGE IS BLANK I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR, THE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, OIL LIFE, ETC. I AM ASSUMING THAT ONCE THE DIGITAL INFORMATION REPOPULATES THE MILEAGE IS ACCURATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST MONTH. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP QUOTED A PRICE OF $1,000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, BUT THEY ADVISED THAT I WAIT TO FIX THE CAR, EITHER UNTIL THE GAUGE BECOMES PERMANENTLY BLANK, OR WHEN A RECALL IS ANNOUNCED. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM FOR WHICH THEY ARE ANTICIPATING A RECALL. I WISH TO TAKE THIS CAR ON A LONG TRIP, AND I AM HOPING THAT A RECALL WILL HAPPEN SOON. I DON'T WANT TO BE ON THE ROAD WITHOUT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE FUEL GAUGE VERY OFTEN GOES BLANK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. A DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN GAS TANK IS EMPTY, AND POSSIBLY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE SAME GAUGE SHOWS PROMPTS WHEN MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT VISUAL REFERENCE TO THESE PROMPTS, AGAIN A DIRE SITUATION COULD OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DAILY, FROM THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY , SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. HONDA WANTS OVER $1000, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HONDA SENT ME A NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING RECALL 20V-770. IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS AND THERE IS NO RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THE DRIVE SHAFTS ON MY CAR COULD FAIL. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME, THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, BUT IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG THEY COULDN'T FIX MY CAR. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A RENTAL CAR IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY SAID THAT THAT WASN'T IN THEIR POWER TO DO AT THIS TIME. I KNOW THAT THEY CAN DO THAT BECAUSE I ALSO WENT THROUGH THE AIR BAG RECALL AND WAS WITHOUT MY CAR FOR MONTHS WHILE THOSE PARTS CAME IT. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, HONDA IS BEING NEGLIGENT BECAUSE THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG, THAT IT IS DANGEROUS, YET ALL THE CARS ARE STILL ON THE ROAD. WHAT IF I CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS? WHAT IF I ACCIDENTALLY KILL SOMEONE OR DAMAGE SOMEONE'S PROPERTY?THIS IS GROSS NEGLIGENCE ON HONDA'S PART. I WANT A SOLUTION NOW.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT, ESPECIALLY ON COLD MORNINGS (I LIVE IN MINNESOTA). IT STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I NOW HAVE A COURIER JOB THAT REQUIRES PHOTOS OF MY ODOMETER EVERY DAY. IF THIS GOES OUT WHILE WORKING, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. I ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK. I'M HOPING ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM REPORT THE ISSUE, AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CAN HAPPEN. THANK YOU!
