The paint on my car is chipping off in huge chunks. It is painted with the NH788P the White Orchid Pearl Tricoat. I saw online that I was not the only one with this issue. The severity of this paint chipping can cause my car to rust out and it's outrageously costly to repaint the vehicle.

I see there is a recall related to a fault that may prevent the rearview camera image from booting up and being displayed on the dash for 2017 - 2020 Fits. While relatively uncommon, this also happens on my 2015 Fit. In addition, sometimes the Lane Watch feature shows the backup camera instead of the right side of the car when activated. This has happened for 10 years but only a handful of times per year. It generally corrects by shutting the car off and restarting it after a minute. It seems as the problem is not specific to the 2017 - 2020 Fit as I'm also having this issue.

The floor of the driver seat and the floor of the front passenger seat continuously flood after it rains. I have dried the floors with a vacuum and checked for any potential leaks or blockages. However, I cannot find any blockages or leaks that are causing the floors of the car to flood, and it continues to flood after it rains. Besides the floors, nothing else is wet--the seats themselves are dry, and the steering wheel and dashboard all look dry. I am worried this water can lead to the floors rotting or retaining water and having mold--which will be a health concern.

Before I parked, all was fine and the car felt safe, two hours later, I start the car and it has four warning lights on. Now I don't have Hill Start Assist and the car feels like it might 'go out' on me, I think something will keep it from running soon. About two weeks prior, even with keys in the car and with a full battery in both the keys and car, the car doesn't start with the first push of the 'engine start' button (maybe there is a connection here). O'Reilly helped me check the codes, and it states that I should replace the Ignition Coil, as well as the Throttle Body and it is giving the code, P0303: Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. After some research online, it seems like the Fuel Injectors might need to be replaced as the ones that come with Honda tend to malfunction. Perhaps the TSBs (www.truedelta.com/Honda-Fit-tsbs-99,2015) should be put into consideration. I believe this is what has caused the Hill Start Assist to stop working which further makes me feel like the vehicle is unsafe to drive for me and for others. We are both put at risk because I am not sure what will happen with it next. I live where there are a lot of hills, Hill Start Assist was a huge factor as to why I thought this car would be safe to drive here. I have yet to visit a Dealer or Independent Service Center. The Vehicle has been inspected by O'Reilly's Code Scanner only and myself. In the attached pictures, one is showing the warning lights that now come on at the start of the car, and the other is showing about a minute later how another light turns on.

The fuel guage/mileage/mpg display flickers on and off intermittently. Sometimes it displays properly, sometimes it displays gibberish and sometimes nothing at all. There really is no correlations to be made as to why it is doing this, it can happen any day at any time or not at all. 2015 Honda Fit

- Summerland, CA, USA

I purchased car, 2/2015 in Oregon, and began having issues once in Florida, at approx 10,000 miles. I took car to a Honda dealership. I needed service- oil change etc, however, the car was missing, as in the motor/ or emissions. The cold ambient temp light always came on, in Fl, but im not aware of issues it caused. Soon the car began having multiple things happening and I took the car into the same dealership( always) to have it inspected, as the Fit is still practically new. I notated to service manager the car would seem to miss especially when pulling away from a stopped position. I also informed the manager there is a noise at 1st start of day or after sitting multiple hours. They took car for drive and returned to say they were unable to -??reproduce-?? the complaint/noise. I explained it normally is after the car has sat overnight, or at least 8 or more hours. I told the service manager, it sounds like a rod knocking, or the engine is out of oil, like a grinding noise. He suggested it stay overnight, so he could test it the following morning and did. Later the next day, he called to have me pick up my car, and was -?? unable to reproduce.-?? I-??ve taken the car in to Honda several times, never getting problems answered. The last few times in to Honda is for the not starting issue. It seems electrical. It started under warranty, like the rest, when the Fit would not start after going someplace. My partner was left stranded at Walmart one time, i have been dealing with this and took in, the last time was in 2020, and the female service person kept my car a couple days. The dash light showing most times saying the key and charging system problem. However, she initially said -?? couldn-??t duplicate.-?? Finally called to say they found problem, and it is alternator which they had already done. By now my car was just over the warranty miles, and she grabbed me a price of $1000 or so, and ultimately i paid about $130. Im jumping my car now everday.

In mid 2019 my Honda had a little rear end problem. Took it to a frame shop and was told my REAR AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLY was bent 3? which was causing front end alignment problems. When they used there machines and whatever else they tried was told there machinery couldn't make it budge.(front end alignment at least 2 times a month) Then in 2020 I went to start my car and nothing!! Kept trying and trying and finally it started. Continued to what I thought was my car just having a mind of its own to continuously not wanting to start so I checked my battery which was fine. I took the car to a Honda Dealership and was told I needed a new battery. Ok fine whatever then after the new battery was hooked up and they went to start it nothing!! Hours later here I am buying a starter (fixed the problem till about mid 2021). Oh yeah forgot STILL HAVE A BENT REAR AXLE) !! CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM has been popping up every time my car decides to start. Gotten to the point where the only way it'll start is if it's jumped. Battery is fine but the alternator isn't pushing out anything whatsoever!!! Because it's constantly being jumped my negative battery terminal SENSOR is going out. Every where I've called or taken the car to either says "nothing we can do" or they want to charge thousands of dollars or " oh ma'am your car is a discontinued model!" I have two little kids and this HONDA FIT is just not safe for myself, kids, or anyone else! Oh almost forgot ABS light along with the keyless entry plus contraction control and steering stabilizer lights are lit up like a Christmas Tree on the dash.

My car is a 2015... less than 46,000 miles and car willl not turn on. After reading several threads, it appears that Honda 2015 has faulty staters. Also, the display showing proper gas levels go in and out. This is a safety issue. Many people have complained. Please force a recall.

I have owned this car for three years, it has 81,166 miles on it and is having so many problems. The engine burns through oil faster than it should and has cause permanent damage. I always took it in to the dealership for oil changes and always brought it in when the oil life was at roughly 20%. I constantly checked the oil level and it was always low even after a recent fill up but had no leakage. I now need a new engine which will cost roughly $5000 including labor maybe more. Every time I started my car for the past year it would make a rough loud sound and would usually go away once I got an oil change. My car will also take roughly 3 tries to start and will most likely need a new starter. This is the second time I have had to have the starter fixed in the past 2 years. The back up camera is also way off with depth perception and has almost caused many accidents.

The guage that reads the mileage and gas level in the dashboard is glitching excessively. There will be times the screen is completely blank. Other times it is unreadable. It happens whether the car is newly turned on, being driven, or if I restart the car. Was also not fixed with a new battery. It began a couple times in 2017 and it is now turning into a daily occurrence.

When I turn on my car, the odometer no longer displays information. Every once in a while, it will flicker and glitch and sometimes come back. However, most of the time, I am unable to see my fuel gauge, which is a safety issue. This started back in November 2019, and it now happens every day.

Fuel injectors failed at 104,000 causing a $2K+ repair. Routine maintenance was followed per the manual.the push button start also failed at the same time. I believe these issues speak to the poor build quality at the plant in Mexico and represent a small portion of the issues inherent in this vehicle.

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?"

For an unknown reason, around October 2017 my starter began making grinding noises; it sounds like it would when you try to start a vehicle that is already started. It happens intermittently and without warning or explanation

Dear NHTSA, my 2015 Honda Fit rattle's on cold start initially when you start the engine. After about 6-8 hours after letting the engine cool the noise will reappear. The issue is the vtc actuator. Being a fairly new vehicle for it's age it's very disappointing to hear such disturbing noise every time I start up the car. I have been experiencing this for the past year, starting in June 2017. At first, my understanding was that it was the engine splash guard. Last year I was driving on the freeway (70mph zone) and all of a sudden I hear a scrapping noise. The road was completely free of debris, and when I pulled over the engine splash guard came up, along with breaking both tabs on the front bumper. I had engine splash replaced 3 months ago using brand new clips (plastic which actually ends up breaking) and screws. Even after fixing the engine splash guard, the vtc rattle noise still appeared. Recently, the engine splash guard still managed to pop off on the freeway. At this point, I'm fed up with the terrible disappointment this vehicle has given me along with its build quality. Another thing to note is the door panel making a rattling noise. After taking off the door panel, I noticed the the plastic lining is detaching from the black glue that is keeping it in place. Possibly, the heat is causing the black glue to melt.

I purchased my 2015 Honda Fit ex-L 9 months ago and the splash shield over the lower engine had to be zip tied by the dealership twice. It ended up detaching a third time and was broken and dragging enough to start smelling like burnt rubber while on the highway. This is a safety hazard and this part should have been recalled.

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
