THE CLEAR COAT ON MY CAR IS CHIPPING. THERE IS SPOTS ALL OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE AND THEN SOME AROUND THE REST OF THE CAR. I HAVE INVOLVED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I GOT IT FROM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND INVOLVED HONDA CORPORATION. THEY BROUGHT IN 2 MANAGERS OF HONDA CORPORATION TO LOOK AT MY CAR. AND THEY SAID IT WAS DEFINITELY IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND TO JUST PAY FOR MY CAR TO BE REPAINTED MYSELF. I SAID THAT IT WAS TOO MUCH MONEY I CAN NOT AFFORD THAT. THEN THEY SAID " WELL JUST KEEP WAXING IT THEN". I AM VERY UPSET AND ANNOYED FROM THIS. SO I WANNA WRITE THIS COMPLAINT TO FIND OUT INFORMATION IF THERES ANYTHING ELSE I CAN DO. IT HAS BEEN LIKE THIS SINCE I GOT THE CAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGHLY AND ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A MISFIRE IN ONE OF THE CYLINDERS AND THIS COULD BE AN EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. MY VEHICLE HAS 48000 MILES ON IT AND THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. FROM DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING COMPLAINT BY SEVERAL PEOPLE.

POWER TRAIN
AFTER 95000 MILES, TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH VERY LITTLE WARNING. FOR ABOUT 25 MILES ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR BUCKED AT SPEEDS UNDER 30 MPH. STOPPED AT A STORE, AND COULD NOT LEAVE PARKING LOT BECAUSE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED COMPLETELY. I HAD DONE ALL OF THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS, AND I PURCHASED THE CAR AS NEW.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DEAR NHTSA, MY 2015 HONDA FIT RATTLE'S ON COLD START INITIALLY WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. AFTER ABOUT 6-8 HOURS AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE COOL THE NOISE WILL REAPPEAR. THE ISSUE IS THE VTC ACTUATOR. BEING A FAIRLY NEW VEHICLE FOR IT'S AGE IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR SUCH DISTURBING NOISE EVERY TIME I START UP THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR THE PAST YEAR, STARTING IN JUNE 2017. AT FIRST, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT IT WAS THE ENGINE SPLASH GUARD. LAST YEAR I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (70MPH ZONE) AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A SCRAPPING NOISE. THE ROAD WAS COMPLETELY FREE OF DEBRIS, AND WHEN I PULLED OVER THE ENGINE SPLASH GUARD CAME UP, ALONG WITH BREAKING BOTH TABS ON THE FRONT BUMPER. I HAD ENGINE SPLASH REPLACED 3 MONTHS AGO USING BRAND NEW CLIPS (PLASTIC WHICH ACTUALLY ENDS UP BREAKING) AND SCREWS. EVEN AFTER FIXING THE ENGINE SPLASH GUARD, THE VTC RATTLE NOISE STILL APPEARED. RECENTLY, THE ENGINE SPLASH GUARD STILL MANAGED TO POP OFF ON THE FREEWAY. AT THIS POINT, I'M FED UP WITH THE TERRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT THIS VEHICLE HAS GIVEN ME ALONG WITH ITS BUILD QUALITY. ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS THE DOOR PANEL MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. AFTER TAKING OFF THE DOOR PANEL, I NOTICED THE THE PLASTIC LINING IS DETACHING FROM THE BLACK GLUE THAT IS KEEPING IT IN PLACE. POSSIBLY, THE HEAT IS CAUSING THE BLACK GLUE TO MELT.

AFTER ANY SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL, WATER COLLECTS WITHIN THE DOORS AND LEAKS INTO THE CABIN. THIS WATER ACCUMULATES UNDER THE SEATS AND PROMOTES THE GROWTH OF MOLD AND MILDEW UNDER THE CABIN. AFTER A 1-INCH RAINFALL, APPROXIMATELY 2 CUPS OF WATER COLLECT UNDER THE REAR SEAT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THIS LEAKAGE OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.

ENGINE
WHEN USING THE ECON BUTTON, MY VEHICLE ENGINE OFTEN DIES AT A STOP. I'VE CHECKED IT OUT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN THE ECON SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED. TAKING IT TO DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, BUT IT NEVER HAPPENS FOR THEM AND IT NEVER THROWS A MALFUNCTION CODE. WORKS FINE DURING NORMAL OPERATION. ONE OTHER PROBLEM, WHEN THIS ISSUE ARISES IS THAT I CANNOT RESTART THE CAR WITHOUT GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND TAKING THE KEY FOB OUT OF RANGE FOR AT LEAST 30+ SECONDS. ONCE THE ELECTRONICS RESET, I CAN ONCE AGAIN START THE VEHICLE. AS YOU CAN VISUALIZE, THIS IS SOMETIMES A DANGEROUS SITUATION OUT ON A BUST ROAD OR STREET.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 HONDA FIT EX-L 9 MONTHS AGO AND THE SPLASH SHIELD OVER THE LOWER ENGINE HAD TO BE ZIP TIED BY THE DEALERSHIP TWICE. IT ENDED UP DETACHING A THIRD TIME AND WAS BROKEN AND DRAGGING ENOUGH TO START SMELLING LIKE BURNT RUBBER WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THIS PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR 2 WEEKS. I PARKED THE FIT IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE, LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING AND SET THE HANDBRAKE. I GOT OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR. I WAS 6 FEET FROM THE CAR WHEN I HEARD A METALLIC POP. I TURNED TO SEE IT ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVE. I RAN TO IT BUT COULD NOT STOP IT. IT WAS SLOWED BY A MOUND OF DIRT AND STOPPED BY A SMALL TREE. I AM VERY SURE MY THUMB WAS NOT ON THE LEVER BUTTON. I WORKED THE LEVER MANY TIMES AND CAN DETECT NO UNUSUAL SOUND OR FEEL.
