2015 HONDA FIT Complaints

CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 48,000 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE FUEL INJECTORS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN ON FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS FOR ALL VIN'S OF THE HONDA FIT 2015, AND THE NTSB NUMBER FOR THAT IS: A16-034. BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP COVER THE COSTS. LOOKING AT $1800 IN REPAIRS FOR AN ISSUES THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. UNBELIEVABLE.

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE A FEW CARS AHEAD OF ME SOMEONE WAS STOPPED TO TURN LEFT. I WAS REAR ENDED BY SOMEONE IN A NISSAN ROGUE SUV WHICH HIT ME WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO PUSH MY CAR FORWARD AND SMASH ME INTO A FORD EXPLORER. I WAS HIT TWICE AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY CAR SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL REAR-END AND FRONT DAMAGE. SO MUCH SO THAT THE CAR WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND FROM THE DAMAGE DONE SHOULD HAVE. IF IT HAD, I WOULD OF SUSTAINED LESS INJURIES FROM MY ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, CHECK ENGINE, AND STABILITY CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LUJACK HONDA (3707 N HARRISON ST, DAVENPORT, IA 52806) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 09535823. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,161.

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS MY 2015 HONDA FIT WON'T START ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PUSH THE STARTER BUTTON 5 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START. I HAVE REPLACED THE KEY BATTERY, HAD THE CAR BATTERY CHECKED BY HONDA DEALER. WENT ON LINE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE STARTER PROBLEMS. BOUGHT BRAND NEW END OF 2915, 4 YR OLD CAR SEEMS TO SOON TO REPLACE STARTER. I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED SOMEWHERE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT.. ONCE CAR IS TURNED OFF I ALWAYS HAVE THE ANXIETY, FEAR..".WILL MY CAR START WHEN I'M READY TO GO?"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING 22 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON THE FRONT END AND FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BURN INJURIES FROM THE AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED AND WAS TAKEN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT. POLICE REPORT NUMBER: 19008011 WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,046.

TRANSMISSION FAILED VERY SUDDENLY AT 77,600 MILES WITH NO PRIOR SIGNS THAT IT WAS HAVING ISSUES. LUCKILY CAR WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. CAR WAS IMMEDIATELY IMMOBILIZED. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP WHERE THE ATTACHED PICTURES WERE TAKEN. HUNDREDS OF METAL SHARDS WERE FOUND INSIDE THE PAN.

WHILE IN MOTION, THE PLASTIC ENGINE SPLASH GUARD CAME OFF AND WAS DRAGGING ON THE ROAD AT 80 MPH. ONLY 1 PIN WAS LEFT IN ON INSPECTION. IT MAKES A HORRIBLE NOISE LIKE A TIRE WENT FLAT. THIS GUARD MUST BE REMOVED TO CHANGE THE OIL AND IT WAS CHANGED BY DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS PRIOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE 14 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. THE CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN ARE PLASTIC, THEY DO NOT HOLD AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AFTER EVERY OIL CHANGE. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ROAD HAZARD TO OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS IN HAND FIT FORUMS. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND MANY OWNERS HAVE TAKEN TO PUTTING ON ZIP TIES AFTER OIL CHANGES.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPX 65 MILES PER HOUR DURING THE EVENING OF 2/14, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BRIEFLY LIT THEN SHUT-OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPT TO RESTART. AFTER DEPRESSING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION BUTTON ABOUT 10 TIMES, THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH NOT STARTING SINCE 02/02. THE DEALER REPLACED THE START BUTTON ON 2/5 AND REPLACED THE STARTER ON 2/12. EVEN AFTER THOSE REPLACEMENTS, THE CAR STILL HAS ISSUES STARTING.
