Driving down the highway yesterday at 75 mph. Car said check starter system. Started blinking. All dash lights and system turned off then on then off again. Power steering went off. Car died while going 75 mph. Abs system went down with it too. Had to hard steer and shift down. Parked on side of highway on shoulder. Towed to mechanic who said it's the alternator. Fit has about 125000 miles on it. The start switch was replaced 3 times recall then faulty by Honda dealership. Then the starter needed to be replaced by Honda dealership. Then the battery twice by O'Reilly. Now the alternator by my mechanic. This is not usual for Hondas to have to replace all of those. Seems as though this is a faulty starter system manufacturing. I could've died, had I not been trained by the military on what to do if vehicle lost power.

Power steering shuts off while driving randomly. It happened several months ago first. Was able to pull over and restart car and steering returned. But it happened 3 times in one day. We took it in to the dealership. They said that the entire steering column should be replace to fix the issue but they weren-€™t sure that it would fix the issue. We opted to wait since the steering column was on a back order. They replaced the start stop button that same trip. That seemed to fix the steering issues. We didn-€™t have any more issues until today when the weather go cold again. The power steering gave out and won-€™t come back on. 11/17/2022. Now we are faced with a steering column replacement but they aren-€™t even sure that is the issue. The column is on back order and they can give no indication on how long it would be to get here. Meanwhile we are out a car and no one seems to know what the issue truly is.

A couple of days ago I went to turn my car on, while stationary the dashboard lights lit up out of nowhere.the TPMS sensor began flashing, the check engine light came on, along with the eps & vsa lights. The car just got to 68K miles. I went to get my car scanned and the result was a misfire on cylinder 4. after doing more research, I found that many other cars (of this exact model) had this same issue & have been recalled, but mine hasn't. I'm worried it may become a bigger issue to my safety.

My car has approximately 60,000 miles on it and has only ever been used for Transport from home to school. I was driving at approximately 20 mph and the check engine light came on while I was in motion. A couple minutes later, the power steering, traction, and tire pressure light came on all at the same time while I was in motion. My car jerked and I lost control for a brief second. The lights will flash on and off at random times while I'm in motion and is especially terrifying when trying to drive at a highway speed. Many people with 2015 Honda Fits have had similar issues and I would encourage you to explore this danger. A car that new with relatively low mileage should not be experiencing mechanical issues that put their drivers at risk.
