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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOUGHT A 2016 HONDA FIT EX USED LAST YEAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF MULTIPLE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. THEY TOLD ME THAT RATS EAT THROUGH THE ELECTICAL WIRING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY ARE CLEARLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE OF RODENTS BECAULSE OF THE SOY BASED WIRE COATING. IF HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE THAN WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS MAYBE THOUSANDS TO APPLY A NEW WIRE COATING. I HAVE ANOTHER SITTING NEXT TO IT AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. HONDA, NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A BEARING A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT. ILL BE TALKING TO MY ATTORNEY ABOUT THIS ISSUE. PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A HONDA FIT 2015 EX WITH ABOUT 58K ON IT. I BOUGHT IT PRE-CERTIFIED USED 2 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE DISAPPEARING OF THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER DISPLAY FOR UP TO 5 MIN + INTERVALS, ESPECIALLY UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING BUT ALSO WHILE DRIVING (ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS). AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING DAILY. I'VE GONE TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AT FIRST WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I PRESSED THEM WITH MY PHOTOS AND AFTER MEETING WITH THE DIR. OF SERVICE, WHO THEN DID THE DIAGNOSTICS, HE SAID THAT THE WHOLE UNIT, CALLED THE 'COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY' WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $800 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THAT'S $$$. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO ADMIT THEIR FAULT AND LIABILITY HERE. THERE IS NO NEGLIGENCE ON MY SIDE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS MALFUNCTION ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE AND MANY FORUMS DOCUMENTING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR MY EXACT HONDA FIT 2015 MODEL. IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE SADDLED WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS A LIABILITY ISSUE, RE: ODOMETER READINGS, BEING INSURED, FUTURE RESALE. . IF FOR ANY REASON THE DISPLAY IS NOT READING CORRECTLY, AND NOT CORRECTLY DISPLAYING THE PROPER # OF MILES, IT'S A MORE SERIOUS MATTER. OF COURSE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE IN YOUR TANK IS ALSO A SERIOUS MATTER! AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED FOR THIS ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH A FAULTY DISPLAY AND ILLEGAL NOT TO HAVE THE PROPER ODOMETER READINGS. NO WAY SHOULD ANY OF US WHO OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. IT'S HONDA'S FAULT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PART OF THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOWS THE FUEL LEVELS, MPG, AND ODOMETER KEEPS SHORTING OUT AND ONLY SHOWING A BLANK BLUE SCREEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRY TO COME BACK ON AND SHOW RANDOM LINES AND SYMBOLS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, WHICH MAKES ME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON CORRECTLY AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES OF RUNNING THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO CORRELATION IN ANY CONDITIONS OF WHEN IT WORKS VERSES WHEN IT DOESN'T.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR ACCCEILERATED TWICE WITHOUT THE DRIVER TOUCHING THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAPPENED WHILE PARKING AS THE CAR WAS CREEPING FORWARD IN THE PARKING SPACE AND SUDDENLY SPED UP. I HAD TO STAMP ON THE BRAKE TO STOP IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHY, BUT I FOUND OUT THAT CARS OF THE SAME MAKE , MODEL AND YEAR IN JAPAN WERE RECALLED FOR SPONTANEOUS ACCELERATION AND IT WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT IT IS CLEARLY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT OR INJURY IF THE CAR HIT AND OBJECT OR A PERSON. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE CAR, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CEMENT WALL OF A BUILDING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD 4 EMERGENCY LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION LEAVING A GAS STATION. I THEN DROVE ON THE INTERSTATE AND HAD TO PULL OVER DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. WE TOOK THE 2016 HONDA FIT TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HONDA DEALERSHIP AND BOTH AGREED THAT AFTER JUST OVER 58,000 MILES, ALL OF THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. BOTH THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED FROM AND OUR TRUSTED MECHANIC AGREE THE FUEL INJECTORS SHOULD NOT BE GOING BAD AT THIS TIME. THE CAR IS 2.5 YEARS OLD, HAS HAD ALL ROUTINE OIL CHANGES AND NO CRASHES OR ISSUES. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE $1,600 FOR ME TO GET THIS FIXED. MANY OTHERS ONLINE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME FUEL INJECTOR PARTS GOING BAD! THIS MUST BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY! HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND IS TRYING TO RIP CUSTOMERS OFF WHO DID NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT TRUST THEIR BRAND.

STRUCTURE:BODY, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS ON FM529 IN THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE HEADING TOWARDS THE SOLID GREEN LIGHT, AS I WAS APPROACHING THE LIGHT I STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND NOTICED IN MY LEFT PERIPHERAL VISION A BLACK CAR WAITING TO PULL OUT. I SLOWED DOWN TO 20 MPH WHERE I PROCEEDED TO HEAD TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THIS BLACK CAR PULLED OUT CROSSED TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC & SIDE SWIPED MY CAR ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE FROM THE FRONT OF THE LEFT BUMPER ACROSS THE LEFT WHEEL WELL ABOVE THE LEFT TIRE, HIT PART OF MY LEFT DOOR AND COMPLETED TURNED MY LEFT MIRROR INWARD SO THAT IT WAS FLUSH WITH MY LEFT WINDOW. THIS BLACK CAR WAS MUCH BIGGER THAN MINE(2014 TOYOTA CAMRY) AND IT DID GIVE ME QUITE A JOLT UPON IMPACT. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY IN THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE WHEN SHE PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THE LADY THAT DID THIS WANTED TO LEAVE THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I SAID NO, BECAUSE I WANTED A POLICE REPORT. SHE ALSO STATED SEVERAL TIMES THAT SHE NEVER SAW ME IN THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE. I CALLED 911 AND TWO POLICE OFFICERS WERE DISPATCHED TO THE SCENE. ONE SAID IT WAS NOT WORTH DOING A REPORT BECAUSE THE DAMAGE WAS LESS THAN $1K. HE STATED THIS WHILE HE WAS LOOKING AT THE DAMAGE TO HER CAR NOT MINE. THE DAMAGE TO MY CAR IS ROUGHLY AROUND $2K & HE ALSO STATED THAT IF HE WERE TO WRITE A REPORT UP, THAT OUR CAR INSURANCE WOULD JUMP "SKY HIGH". THERE WERE NO TICKETS GIVEN AT THE TIME. THE LADY AND I AGREED TO HANDLE THIS OUT OF POCKET. I ALSO TOLD THE OFFICERS THAT THE LADY HAD STATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT SHE NEVER SAW ME, BUT IT DIDN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED AT ABOUT 7:55 AM. THIS LADY CREATED THE PROBLEM BY NOT LOOKING TO HER RIGHT SIDE AND LOOKING STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF HER BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I THINK MY BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS DAMAGED AS IT WAS WORKING JUST FINE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT & NO LONGER WORKS. ALIGNMENT MUST BE CHECKED.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
REGULARLY WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE FROM PARK OR SHIFTING INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE, THE CAR WILL FAIL TO ACCELERATE AT ALL FOR SEVERAL SECOND DESPITE GAS PEDAL ACTUATION AT FULL, OR PEDAL ON THE FLOOR. UNPREDICTABLE ACCELERATION WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE DISALLOWS DRIVER FROM DRIVING CAUTIOUSLY AS THE UNKNOWN VARIABLE IS DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS IF IN A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR NEEDS TO MOVE ON COMMAND. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
