STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
I TOOK CAR IN FOR SNOW TIRE CHANGE OVER AND THE TIRE SHOP SAID CAR NEED ALIGNMENT DONE, BECAUSE THE TIRE WEAR WAS CONSISTENT OUT ALIGNMENT, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK ALIGNMENT SHOP, AFTER THEY ALIGN THE CAR, THEY ASK ME IF THE CAR WAS EVER IN CRASH, WHICH I STATE NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT. CAR NOT BUT IT OVERDUE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE HAD ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON IT, THE REAR AXLE WAS OUT ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAID CANNOT BE ALIGN. SO, I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY HAD ME TAKE TO DEALER TO VERIFY, WHICH AFTER VERIFYING IN ALIGNMENT. I DROVE BACK THE TIRE SHOP THEY REAR MEASURE AGAIN AND THE REAR STILL OUT ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, THE TOE ONE THE RIGHT REAR HAD CHANGE FROM 3 DAYS OF NORMAL FORM -0.02 DEGREES TO +0.09 DEGREE DIFFERENT OF .11 DEGREE AND LEFT REAR MOVE IN TOE ABOUT .04 DEGREE. THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP DID QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SAY THESE CARS HAVE HABIT FLEX AND TWISTING THE REAR AXLE. I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2020, ASK DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHAT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT FROM DRIVING IN CONNECTICUT AND NEW ENGLAND AKA POTHOLE AND BUMPS IN THE ROAD FROM NORMAL DRIVING. PLEASE NOTE THE DEALERSHIP USED ALIGNMENT MEASURE DEVICE YOU DRIVE THRU WHILE THE TIRE SHOP USED A LIFT AND MIRROR AND LASERS TO MEASURE. I BELIEVE INCREASE TIRE WEAR IN BACK WILL BE PROBLEM AND LOWER OVER THE CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE AS WHEEL NOT TRACKING RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE IN UNDERSIZE FOR THE CAR OR HAS FLAW IN THE METAL THAT USED THE BUILD THE CARS. I WOULD UP THE REPORT, BUT THEY CONTAIN VIN NUMBER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR IS UNDER RECALL TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE FIRST DEALERSHIP I CALLED, CASTLE HONDA IN MORTON GROVE, IL, TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE CAR FIRST BEFORE ORDERING THE PART AND WOULD ONLY REPLACE IT IF IT WAS DAMAGED. I ARGUED THAT THAT WAS NOT WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THEY WOULD DO, BUT THE REP INSISTED THEY WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE CAR AND IT MIGHT NOT NEED REPAIR. I CALLED A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. (MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE CASTLE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NOT WITH AMERICAN HONDA).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY NEW VEHICLE FEBRUARY 2020. THESE ARE MY ELECTRONIC VEHICLE ISSUES: 1) MY BATTERY DIES WHEN LEFT FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH NO ELECTRONICS LEFT ON AND NO AFTER MARKET ADD ON EQUIPMENT. 2) ELECTRONIC DISPLAY LOOSES TOUCH FUNCTIONALITY. BATTERY DISCONNECT RESTORES. 3) RADIO PRESETS CHANGE TO CHANNELS I WOULD NOT SELECT. I THINK A HACKER HAS COMPROMISED THE GPS OR CELLULAR PHONE FACTORY POWER/CONNECT ATTACHMENT. THESE ISSUE STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE LOOSES VIEW OF THE SKY. IE., METAL ROOF GARAGE. ATTACHED VOLT METER AND VEHICLE HAS SEVERE ELECTRICAL DRAIN FOR NORMAL 14.4 TO 12.2 VOLTS. THIS IS VARIABLE AND UNRELATED TO HEAVY POWER DRAINING EQUIPMENT LIKE "REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER." ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NORMALLY DROPS MOMENTARILY DURING FACTORY EQUIPMENT INITIAL TURN ON BUT QUICKLY RETURNS TO 14.4 VOLTS.AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, SYSTEM VOLTAGE WILL REMAIN AT 12.2 VOLTS WITH NO USER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CHANGE. POSSIBLE SUSPECT WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS. LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS: RUSSELL CTY AL 19SL06902, 18SL12031, 19SL06910 LEE CTY AL 1906-2823, 1810-2196

STEERING
WE HAVE OWNED THE 2019 FIT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR NOW. IT WAS A JOY TO DRIVE WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT.. A FEW MONTHS AGO IT STARTED DRIFTING SIDE TO SIDE.. MOST NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP IT TRACKING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ANYMORE. IT STARTS TO GO LEFT, AND JUST A SLIGHT STEER TO RIGHT OVERCORRECTS AND THEN IT'S GOING TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT, THEN AGAIN BACK TO THE LEFT. I AM CONSTANTLY BOUNCING BETWEEN THE LANE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ALSO THE LANE ASSIST WON'T KEEP THE CAR CENTERED ANYMORE EITHER. IT USED TO WORK GREAT! THE HONDA DEALER SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD AND DROVE FINE FOR THEM.. STEERING, SUSPENSION, ALIGNMENT, TIRES.. ALL SUPPOSEDLY CHECKS OUT. THIS CAR IS NOW VERY TIRING TO DRIVE AND JUST PLAIN UNSAFE AT THIS POINT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. IT'S JUST OVER 21K MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, SLOWING A STOP, WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD. IT FELT LIKE A SUDDEN JOLT WHICH PROPELLED THE CAR OVER THE PARKING SPOT CURB AND INTO A POLL. THIS CAUSED ME TO SLAM MY FOOT EVEN HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR. THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS SO ODD THAT IT FELT LIKE THE CAR HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED IT, BUT I CAN SAY WITH CERTAINTY THAT NOTHING WAS TOUCHING THE GAS AS MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. THE CAR WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN IT SURGED FORWARD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO WAY HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE. AN INCOMING CAR IN THE OTHER LANE GOING ABOUT 55 OR MORE MPH WAS DRIVING IN THE OTHER LANE. AS THE CAR GOT CLOSER TO MY CAR AND IN THEIR LANE, THE HONDA FIT SENSORS WENT OFF. FIRST, THE BRAKE SIGNAL FLASHED ON THE PANEL AND MADE A LOUD WARNING NOISE. SECONDLY, MY STEERING WHEEL RATTLED. LASTLY, THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE QUICKLY. LUCKILY, I SOFTLY HIT THE BRAKES AND IT OVERRODE THE SENSOR. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STARTING TO DO A FULL STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AT 45 MPH. NOW I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SENSORS EVERY TIME. I WORRY IT WILL GLITCH AGAIN OR TURN ON AND BRAKE AT A FULL STOP WITHOUT MY CONTROL. THE TURNING SENSORS ALSO ARE MALFUNCTIONING ESPECIALLY AT TURNS. EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN BETWEEN THE LINES AND GOING SLOW, IT TURNS ON AND SLIDES YOU TOWARDS THE MIDDLE, YELLOW LINE AND TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
