2015 HONDA FIT Complaints

THE STARTER IN MY 2015 HONDA FIT DIED. I PURCHASED THE CAR SEPTEMBER OF 2014 AND THE STARTER DIED SEPTEMBER 2017, THAT'S A THREE YEAR LIFE CYCLE ON THE PART.

ON 7/27/2017 MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE 9PM ON 7/26. IT SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTED. WHEN IT WAS NOTICED THERE WERE ONLY FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP ON 7/20/2017 FOR A RIGHT FRONT STRUT REPLACEMENT. ALL UPKEEP HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE OF, AND NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE EVER BEEN MADE. THE CAR ONLY HAD 46,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE

POSSIBLE TAKATA INFLATORS: CAR IN MOTION HIT A LARGE, UNEXPECTED, RECENTLY FALLEN TREE LIMB ON A PUBLIC STREET AND ROLLED OVER IT. THE FRONT BUMPER COMPLETELY REMOVED AND THE SIDE AIRBAG WENT OFF.

AT 1700 THOUSAND MILES ROTORS NEED RESURFACING. STARTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. ALL UNDER WARRANTED

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE AT A STEADY HIGHWAY SPEED, I LOST ALL CONTROL TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE COASTED TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT. AUTO DEALER CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED CATASTRPHICALLY AND THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO STATED THAT I, AS THE CONSUMER DID NOTHING TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS EVENT - THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED SO EARLY ON. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL-MAINTAINED. AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING, IT IS CURRENTLY OWNED FOR ONLY 2.5 YEARS AND HAS 80,000 MILES OF WHICH 90% ARE HIGHWAY MILES. THE CAR WAS TOWED UNDER OWNER'S CAR INSURANCE-PROVIDED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE REPAIR PROCESS IS NOT YET COMPLETE AND THUSDOCUMENTATION CAN AND WILL BE PROVIDED LATER IF NEEDED,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HONDA FIT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT AN INTERNAL PART OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS FRACTURED. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECORD OF A RECALL REMEDY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000.

ENGINE SPLASH SHIELD KEEPS COMING OFF (THE SHIELD UNDER THE CAR). IT HAS ALREADY COME OFF TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR. WHEN DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 40+ SPEEDS THE CAR WILL CREATE A DISTURBING FLAPPING SOUND. THE CLIPS THAT HOLD THE SHIELD KEEP BREAKING OFF. MY CAR IS ONLY 23K OLD.

CPSC: THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT HAS MELTED I HAVE READ THAT IT COULD BE CAUSED FROM THE HIGH ENERGY WINDOWS THAT WERE JUST INSTALLED ON ALL THE TOWNHOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. *BF UPDATED 04/21/2017*JS

CAR IS STUMBLING ON ACCELERATION AND RIDING RUFF. DEALER STATES ALL INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STYLE INJECTOR (PART NUMBER 16010-5R1-315). ONE INJECTOR GOING BAD I CAN UNDERSTAND BUT ALL 4 INJECTOR IN 50,000 MILES AND REPLACED WITH A NEW STYLE INJECTOR, THIS IS A DEFECT.

UNABLE TO START CAR. BATTERY NOT DEAD. NOT A PROBLEMS WITH STARTER. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM. AUTO HAS LOW MILEAGE. PROBLEMS OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2016 AND NOW IN MARCH 2017.
