ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The digital gauge on the Genuine Honda Fit Instrument Cluster (factory-installed) flickers or goes blank intermittently. It is a well-documented and known defect in this model. The gauge is currently being replaced and I have asked for the defective part for evidence. The gauge includes the odometer, trip computer, digital fuel gauge, and engine oil information. It is a safety issue because you can run out of fuel, cannot track trip mileage (important when navigating in more remote areas), and can't see overall mileage (don't know when to service vehicle, etc.). The dealership has reproduced and identified the problem. No warning messages appeared before failure. The problem first appeared about 3 months ago, but seemed to be an isolated incident. Then one week ago, the problem became persistent.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle has experienced the same electrical/charging problem twice. The first time, three warning lights came on while I was driving. The vehicle subsequently lost electrical power and began experiencing a significant loss of acceleration. The warning lights then went off, followed by a situation where there were no warning lights displayed. The vehicle's acceleration became slower, the steering wheel began to feel as though it was locking, and the vehicle eventually broke down. This created a serious safety concern because the vehicle lost power and became difficult to control while I was driving. I had the alternator and battery replaced in an attempt to correct the problem. However, the problem has occurred again. After the repairs, all three warning lights are illuminated again, and the vehicle is displaying a "Check/Charge System" message. The battery does not appear to be charging while the engine is running. I returned the vehicle to the same repair facility that performed the previous work. I was told that they had checked the vehicle and performed the necessary work, but they believed there may be an electrical-system or computer-related problem because something appears to be draining the battery. The underlying cause has not been identified or corrected. The problem has not been permanently resolved despite replacing the battery and alternator. The vehicle is currently displaying the "Check/Charge System" message and the three warning lights. The specific component causing the failure has not yet been identified, and I would like the charging/electrical system, wiring, modules, and related components to be thoroughly inspected and diagnosed. The replaced alternator and battery, as well as any other relevant components, should be available for inspection if requested.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The vehicle experienced transmission drive issues accompanied by a Check Engine Light. An independent repair facility scanned the vehicle and confirmed diagnostic trouble code P0717 for a transmission speed sensor open circuit. The failure causes unexpected loss of acceleration and erratic power delivery while driving, redlining at 45 mph, malfunctioning of the gear selection display, and creating a safety hazard in active traffic. These symptoms line up with the CVT drive pulley shaft defect addressed in NHTSA Recall 15V574. When I contacted an authorized Honda dealership to address the issue, they stated this specific VIN is not included in the recall campaign. The vehicle and its diagnostic records are available for inspection upon request.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Check Charging System" warning light illuminated. Additionally, the engine start button intermittently failed to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was initially diagnosed with battery failure. However, the failure persisted after the battery was replaced. A diagnostic scan retrieved 6 Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in the computer. Upon further diagnostic test, the independent mechanic identified Technical Service Bulletin: 20-098 (Warranty Extension: 2015–17 Fit Keyless Start System Error with DTC B12C5). The vehicle could not be repaired under the TSB because the vehicle was outside of the warranty period. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
• While driving, 2015 Honda Fit lost acceleration and stalled. Further attempts to drive showed engine would fail past 2000 rpm. • Failure occurred accelerating into traffic, risking collision. • The failure was diagnosed by Coggin Honda Orlando as an In - Tank Fuel Pump Low Pressure Remove and Replace. • UNKOWN if dealer referred issue to manufacturer. • No warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem appeared prior to failure. Only after engine failure After research found multiple recalls related to same FIT fuel pump for other years (23v858, 21v215, 20v314).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The start/stop switch on my 2015 Honda Fit failed — a known defect acknowledged by Honda through Service Bulletin A20-098. A faulty start/stop switch creates serious safety hazards including the inability to start the vehicle in an emergency, becoming stranded in dangerous locations such as intersections or highways, and potential inability to shut the engine off. My vehicle is UNDER the mileage threshold specified in the bulletin, yet Honda refused to cover any portion of my $750 repair. This lack of professional accountability could lead to other consumers avoiding this costly repair, which in turn could create dangerous situations.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while driving 45-50 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, with the gear shift indicator light in neutral(N), and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed with ignition software failure. The mechanic replaced the ignition switch. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving 35-45 MPH, approximately four to five days later, the warning lights illuminated, the gear shift indicator light was in reverse(R), and the vehicle suddenly stalled in the middle of the roadway. The vehicle was pushed into the driveway of the contact's son. The contact stated that the incident was significantly frightening because the contact was a disabled heart patient, and there were two plates in the contact's neck due to a previous accident. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that there were metal shavings in the transmission, and the mechanic determined that the failure might be due to a pulley shaft fracture. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced, but the mechanic could not perform the repair. The vehicle was then taken to the independent mechanic where it was purchased; however, no assistance was provided. The dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired for free because the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Odometer screen, which includes mileage, fuel gauge, time and any check engine information, will regularly blink, appear blank, show unreadable characters or a combination of the three on mornings with an external temperature of 60 F or below. Reading up on Honda Fit forums, it appears to be faulty hardware and/or poor solder joints that are cracking. More complaints can be found here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-generation-2015/95284-2015-fit-odometer-display-goes-haywire.html While there is a separate low fuel and check engine light in the panel, this is far more than a simple quality of life device and could cause a significant safety risk to the driver. Honda should be responsible for the repair or replacement of the display.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The fuel gauge in the gauge cluster turns on and off unexpectedly and without reason for extended periods of time. The gauge will also do what I like to call hieroglyphic numbers, essentially unreadable lettering clearly due to an electrical malfunction. This is very distracting as a driver and has put me in a very near death experience from the fault. This problem makes it impossible to read the fuel quantity during or before operation of the vehicle. It has been confirmed by dealer that the fault is due to a damaged solder and has been clear that this is a common issue with most Honda fits.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The fuel gauge, which is digital, has a soldering point which is apparently a known failure spot due to the type of solder used. This causes the display to fail, which makes the fuel gauge unreadable. Not only is this a distraction for drivers, but it can lead to running out of gas unexpectedly in dangerous situations.
