2016 HONDA FIT Complaints

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY IN THE DASH THAT SHOWS FUEL GAUGE, RANGE, ODOMETER, ETC.. WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY. IT WILL EITHER DISPLAY IMPROPERLY IN A WAY THAT IS UNREADABLE, OR THE ENTIRE DISPLAY WILL GO BLANK WHILE REMAINING BACKLIT. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN IT IS COLD OUT. I ALSO NOTICED IT INITIATE MORE DURING HARD ACCELERATION OR BRAKING, BUT IT CAN ALSO REMAIN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AFTER I HAVE FINISHED MY COMMUTE. WHEN THE DISPLAY COMES BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY, IT SEEMS TO READ ACCURATELY AGAIN, BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO GO OUT COMPLETELY TO THE POINT WHERE I NO LONGER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY VEHICLE OR HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN BETWEEN MAINTENANCE.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CONSTANTLY BECAUSE OF FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW PART NUMBER (ALL 4 OF THEM). THE MPG HAS DECLINED. THIS ISSUES SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE. HONDA HAS A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS COMMON ISSUE OF FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HONDA FIT. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED, RESTARTED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PIEDMONT HONDA (4011 CLEMSON BLVD, ANDERSON, SC 29621 ,(864) 305-4173) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10082125. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

CYLINDER MISFIRES DUE TO POORLY ATOMIZED FUEL. DEFECTIVE DIRECT INJECT FUEL SYSTEM BEGAN FAILING AT LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. CONTINUOUS APPEARANCE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CAR ACCELERATES WEAKLY AND OCCASIONALLY LOSES POWER

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.

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.

THE LED ODOMETER DISPLAY, WHICH INCLUDES THE GAS GAUGE AND OTHER VITAL INFORMATION GEOS BLANK OR IS GARBLED AND UNREADABLE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY WHEN I FIRST TURN IT ON AND STAYS THAT WAY MOST OF THE DAY. SOMETIMES IT WILL START TO WORK AND SOMETIMES IT STAYS THAT WAY ALL DAY.

FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY WHICH ALSO INCLUDES MPG AND ODOMETER SHOWS GIBBERISH. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS.

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?
