ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN 18 DEGREE WEATHER AT NIGHT, THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY (THE FURTHEST RIGHT SECTION OF THE 3-INSTRUMENT PANEL IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER) BLANKED OUT. IT CAME BACK, BUT BLANKED OUT AGAIN. TOTAL TIME OUT WAS APPROXIMATELY 4 MINUTES. WITH THIS TRIM VERSION (LX) IS IT NOT POSSIBLE TO OBTAIN AN ODOMETER OR FUEL GAUGE READING THROUGH ANY OTHER METHOD. A LATER ONLINE SEARCH INDICATED THIS WAS AN ISSUE FOR 2015-2016 MODELS, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I DID NOT OBTAIN PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF BECAUSE I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNSAFE TO FIND MY PHONE IN THE DARK AND FIDDLE WITH IT TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH.

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.

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.

ENGINE
WHILE IN MOTION, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON (CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY ASSIST, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, ETC.) . IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, CALLED A TOW TRUCK, TOOK TO DEALER, AND LATER FOUND OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE BAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME! FIRST AT 27,000 MILES AND NOW AGAIN AT 44,000 MILES. JUST GRATEFUL I WASN'T ON THE FREEWAY! SEVERAL TSB'S REGARDING THIS AND CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
LOUD RATTLING COMING FROM DRIVER SIDE DASH WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON BUMPY ROADS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO STOP WHEN IT IS HOT OUT, WHICH MAKES ME THINK THAT THE PLASTIC CLIPS HOLDING THE DASH PANEL MAY BE LOOSE OR ILL-FITTED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ORIGINAL DASH PANEL DUE TO A MISALIGNMENT OF THE PIECE (BIG GAP BETWEEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS AND LEFT FRONT PANEL). THE NEW DASH PANEL STILL RATTLES. TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THEY SAID THEY "CANNOT" DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID "IT HAPPENS IN SOME CARS BUT NOT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL".

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS IN REVERSE BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY GAS PETEL ACCELERATED DRIVING MY CAR SO FAST OVER A CURB AND INTO A STONE WALL. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT REPORTED TO HONDA AMERICAN, BUT THE SAME MALFUNCTION OF GAS PETAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AT A HIGH SPEED. REPORTED TO MY INSURANCE AND HONDA AMERICAN. MY CAR NOW IF I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT STARTS DRIVING ON ITS OWN. ALSO IN REVERSE IT STARTS DRIVING ON ITS OWN. I DON'T HAVE TO STEP ON THE. GAS PETAL IT MOVES ON ITS OWN. I AM AWAITING FOR HONDA AMERICA TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO MY HONDA DEALER WITH ME TO INSPECT. I AM ASKING HONDA AMERICAN TO PAY REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE. $1,082.00. HONDA IS WILLING TO TOW MY CAR, BUT CAN'T PROMISE ME A VEHICLE WHILE BEING REPAIRED. HONDA AMERICA SENT SOMEONE TO TOW MY CAR, WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO ME. I CANCELED THE TOW, FOR I HAD FRACTURED MY ELBOW AND NEEDED TO SPEAK WITH HONDA AMERICA. I AM WAITING FOR A RETURN PHONE CALL TO SO WE MAY GET MY CAR INSPECTED BY A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE. I WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED, FOR IT WAS A MALFUNCTION OF THE GAS PETAL. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I NEED A NEW STARTER. I BOUGHT MY 2016 HONDA FIT USED 5 MONTHS AGO. IT NOW HAS 43,900 MILES. A 3 YEAR OLD CAR WITH THIS MILEAGE SHOULD NOT NEED TO HAVE THE STARTER REPLACED. I TRIED 2-3 TIMES TO START MY CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START. NO CLICKING NOISE, NO NOISE AT ALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEAD BATTERY AND WHEN JUMPED IT STARTED RIGHT AWAY. SEVERAL MORE TIMES IT WOULDN'T START THE FIRST TIME BUT THE 2ND AND 3RD TIME TRYING IT TURNED OVER AND STARTED. MY NEIGHBOR TOLD ME IT COULD BE ELECTRICAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10-15 TIMES AND AFTER TRYING 3-4 TIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP. I FINALLY TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC WHEN TESTED HE SAID IT WAS THE STARTER AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW ONE. IT WILL COST $500.00 FOR THE NEW PART PLUS LABOR. WELL OVER $700.00 DOLLARS. THANK GOODNESS I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WILL HAVE TO PAY $44.00 BECAUSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY ALLOWS "AT COST" FOR PARTS. ANOTHER THING, AFTER GOING THROUGH THE CAR WASH OR AFTER A RAIN STORM THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR PANELS ARE FULL OF WATER BUT LUCKILY THE WATER DOESN'T ENTER THE CAR AS I'VE READ ON OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL HONDA. ONE MORE THING WHILE I'M COMPLAINING...A LOT OF HIGHWAY ROAD NOISE. FOR THE PRICE HONDA COULD AND SHOULD BE MAKING A MUCH BETTER VEHICLE. ON THE PLUS SIDE, IT IS EASY TO DRIVE, MANEUVER AND PARK.

WHEELS
PERTAINING TO THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IF A TPMS SENSOR IS REMOVED FROM THE CAR, THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ALERT THE DRIVER VIA A WARNING LIGHT. MY 2016 HONDA FIT HAD ALL FOUR TIRES AND RIMS REPLACED THAT DIDN'T HAVE TPMS SENSORS INSTALLED AND NO INDICATOR HAS ILLUMINATED IN THE VEHICLE. (IT'S BEEN ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE THE SENSORS WERE REMOVED)
