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.

ENGINE
DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD "POP" AND IT SOUNDED LIKE MY ENGINE HAD BLOWN A HOLE IN IT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A HONDA DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT FROM THE CYLINDER HEAD - STRIPPING THREADS COMPLETELY. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BEING TALKED ABOUT BY MANY PEOPLE ON HONDA FIT FORUMS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE PLUGS JUST CAME LOOSE AND BURNED UP ONE COIL PACK, BUT IT DID NOT BLOW OUT THE SPARK PLUG. THE GEN 2 HONDA FITS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPARK PLUGS COMING LOSE. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER I NEEDED A NEW CYLINDER HEAD, COIL, SPARK PLUGS, AND HEAD GASKETS. HONDA IS DENYING MANY FIT OWNERS COVERAGE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE LESS THAN 80,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2013 AS A CERTIFIED HONDA WITH A 100,000 POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE COVERED IN FULL AS A WARRANTY CLAIM THROUGH HONDA USA. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE THAT WAS TAKEN TO SHOW THE BURNED UP COIL PACK.

THERE IS A LEAK THAT CAUSES WATER TO ACCUMULATE IN THE SPARE TIRE WELL AND PASSENGER-SIDE REAR FLOOR WHEN IT RAINS OR SNOWS. I'VE FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN ONLINE FORUMS FOR 2007 AND 2008 HONDA FIT OWNERS.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL INTERMITTENTLY FREEZES UP, FOR ABOUT A SECOND, AT LEAST ONCE EVERY DAY THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD TURN ON DURING OR AFTER THESE EVENTS. SEVERAL TIMES IT HAS BEEN NOTICED WHILE MAKING TURNS, WHICH IS VERY UNSETTLING. I NO LONGER TRUST THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY, AND NOW FEEL THE NEED TO LEAVE A VERY LARGE DISTANCE WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ANY ONCOMING CAR. I WILL NOT ALLOW MY WIFE TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY MORE, FOR FEAR OF HER SAFETY. I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR AN EPS FAILURE FOR HONDA FITS OF PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS, AND WANT TO KNOW WHEN THE RECALL FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING DEFECT WILL BE EXTENDED TO THE 2010 MODEL YEAR.
