2015 HONDA FIT Complaints

DIGITAL GAS GAUGE INCLUDES ODOMETER. LAST WINTER, AT ABOUT 32 DEGREES OR COLDER, GAUGE OFTEN EITHER DID NOT WORK (WENT BLANK) OR SCRAMBLED ITS INFO, WHICH WAS THEN UNREADABLE. NOW, THE GAUGE HAS BEGUN MALFUNCTIONING IN JULY. I FEAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR MISSING MAINTENANCE DUE TO UNRELIABLE ODOMETER READING. BOTH SITUATIONS COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR NOT.

CAR MAKES CONSTANT HUMMING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION BEGINNING AT A SPEED OF 25MPH.

THE FUEL AND ODOMETER GAUGE GOES IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT'S LIT WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY INFORMATION, THE DISPLAY WILL GO ON AND OFF. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY HAS FAILED (IT ALSO DISPLAYS TIME, ODOMETER, TEMP, ETC). IT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, OR NOT AT ALL. WHEN IT DOES COME ON, SOMETIMES IT'S GLITCHED OUT/COMPLETE GIBBERISH, WITH THE WRONG FUEL AMOUNT. MANY, MANY OTHER HONDA FITS HAVE THIS ISSUE (NO RECALL, CORPORATE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT). TIME, MILEAGE, AND TEMPERATURE HAVE NO EFFECT. COST IS $700+ FOR DEALER TO FIX. *TR

WHILE ON DAILY COMMUTE, TRANSMISSION RANDOMLY STARTED VIOLENTLY SHAKING FOR APPROX 1/8 MILE AND A LOUD BANG OCCURRED. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER TO VISUALLY INSPECT UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE BUT NOTHING WAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY. WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK, THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING FORWARD OR REVERSE REGARDLESS OF REVVING ENGINE. *TR

MY 2015 HONDA FIT LX WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES HAS 4 SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE ' TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS), VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA). THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS ALONG WITH FUEL PIPES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER RULING OUT IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS AS POTENTIAL ISSUES. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH DIRECT FUEL INJECTORS WITH HONDA OF THIS MODEL YEAR. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NHTSA WEBSITE CONFIRMED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA AS REPORTED BY MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ESTIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS IS $1700-2000. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE DESIGN BY HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL OR COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2015 HONDA FIT. IT HAS 23,000 MILES AND IT IS OUT OF THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED AND HONDA REFUSES TO ACCEPT BLAME FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. HONDA IS AWARE OF THIS AND STILL ALLOWS AN UNSAFE CAR TO BE DRIVEN WITHOUT RECALLS OR WARNINGS. HONDA WANTED ALMOST $ 5,000 TO REPAIR THIS , BUT THE LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1754 FOR A USED 2017 TRANSMISSION... *TR

ATTEMPT TO START CAR, WILL NOT START - HAS NEW BATTERY, NEW PLUGS, GAS; IT'S A MANUAL - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. TODAY - TRIED TO START, NOTHING. HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE LIGHT - P 105 - 1ST FUEL INJECTOR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, RUNNING LEAN. DISGUSTING - FIRST HONDA IN 4 THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT IS BROKEN. THIS IS WAY BEYOND SIMPLE WEAR AND TEAR. 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD START - EVERY TIME. *TR

SIMILAR ISSUE TO THE OTHERS, HAVE THE RIGHT HAND CIRCULAR LCD PANEL OF THE DASH WHICH HAS PROGRESSIVELY BECOME WORSE AND IS LOCKED, GLITCHED OR COMPLETELY OUT MOST OF THE TIME WHEN DRIVING OR STATIONARY. STARTED WHEN THE CAR WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY IN 2018 BUT IS NOW UNBEARABLE. INCLUDES ODOMETER, FUEL GAUGE (SAFETY ISSUE), FUEL ECONOMY AND OTHER TRIP INFORMATION. ALSO HAVE HAD THE OFTEN MENTIONED INTERMITTENT NON-STARTING ISSUE WHICH WAS SOLVED WITH A NEW STARTER WITH LESS THAN 35,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TR

FUEL GAUGE CLUSTER IS A BLUE BLANK WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND I CANNOT SEE HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. ONCE THE CAR IS WARM THE GAUGE DISPLAYS MY FUEL LEVEL AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SCREEN. *TR
