The check engine light came on. The vehicle was shaking/sputtering when idling. We took it into the dealership and they said we needed to replace the fuel injectors, despite the vehicle not even having 60,000 miles on it.

My fuel/mileage dashboard goes off and on, clustering. It started last year and now happens almost everyday. Asked the dealer about issue since I believe it-??s a safety concern and my car is still under warranty for 80,000. Since my car is almost to the miles they want me to pay to check it.

Right side dashboard display showing gauge, time, *temperature, *odometer, trip mileage, gas efficiency, etc. usually displays blank and may occasionally reappear with certain temperatures briefly. Lack of this information could cause me to run out of gas or be unprepared for freezing road temperatures. As I am a single, mobility-limited, elderly woman, this is a huge safety problem. Available for inspection. Dealer acknowledges problem is common for Honda Fits. Advised it will cost several hundred to fix, which is not feasible as I am on social security. Problem appeared around 18 months after purchasing new. No repairs have been made.

When it gets cold, the odometer/gas gauge intermittently glitches. It might come back on or it might stay blank. If you cannot read your mileage, you can-??t get accurate repair service. If you cannot read your gas gauge, you could break down on the highway because you ran out of gas and did not know it. This problem seems to occur across Honda Fits ranging from 2015-2020 and even Honda CR-Vs from a Google search. A few people have found that it has something to do with loose soldering which leads to improper expansion? This needs to be investigated and covered under a recall. Most people wouldn-??t be able to afford thousands of dollars.

My car is 2019 Honda Fit (16500 mileage) Four dashboard warning signs (Check Engine Light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Vehicle Stability Assist System, Electric Power Steering) appeared all at once suddenly on June 26, 2024. I went to the Honda dealer shop to fix it. First they changed spark plugs. After one-day driving it happened again. They changed fuel injectors. Then it happened again after one-day driving. I searched the web and found it is a common problem in Honda Fit. Some of 2019 Honda Fit has a extended warranty for fuel injection replacement, but it is not applicable to my car. Feels like there is no problem while driving with those 4 warning lights. But who knows some serious problems or accident will happen because of this problem.

Consistently since I bought the car I have warning lights turn on when nothing is wrong with it. At first it started with the tire pressure light and after owning it for 3 years now, over the past two weeks I've had a ton of warning lights turn on and I've had two mechanics look at it and see nothing wrong with the vehicle. After doing some research online, I've learned that I am not the only 2019 Honda Fit owner who has had this happen, and it seems to be happening in a lot of people's cars

breaks, control of vehicle staying in lane -lane departure failure, door locks, auto remote failure, multiple warning lights system failures on dash, vehicle lights. car has gone off road, right on highway (right lane) and left on highway to middle lane, almost hit other vehicle. Dealer put new batteries in remote (second new set) low battery alert 2 hours later, remote failure. passed diagnostic scan. (southern honda, Savannah GA) Since then the info-system I believe to be hacked. I found vin number and other "computer" listings in vehicle including wi-fi enable, phone numbers not belonging to me, web sites, etc, I was able to remove and I reset to factory settings twice. The Honda link has now activated itself, selections "grayed out" (I always used apple/car play honda link was never used. My I phone was then hacked, hackers have complete control remotely over the phone live time, able to see screen and make changes. I am now in atlanta, I contacted dealership here where the vehicle was purchased. I also asked for the Honda Link to be turned off and if needed to please turn off/disconnect the system for safety if they are unable to remove/install "non hacking software?". Was told Honda link was not activtated, and I would be responsible for repair charges "if determined not covered under my warranty. Auto is not safe to drive, I do not have finances to pay for repairs, was unable to leave the car. Informed dealership that I looked up Honda link and activation/deactivation requires app/account which I never had nor do I know how to do. Technician indicated he did not know what I was talking about. I need assistance. I cannot receive e-mail hackers intercept

The electronic odometer and audio control displays will blink on and off, or will display gibberish. The odometer display shows the gas gauge, which if not properly displayed, the car could run out of gas when driving. The audio display shows the car's performance.

Undercarriage engine splash shield was hanging loose after getting Honda service. Took it back to dealer and 2 plastic screw put it right. A few days later the front of this shield is now hanging from my car scraping the road. It's Labor day weekend. I am afraid this is going to fall off and hit a car behind me. I googled this and it has been an ongoing problem since at least 2015. There were no warning lamps, messages to let me know. I did not hit anything or go into any road debris. It happened on the highway at regular highway speed. This is very concerning to me. I cannot safely drive my car until shops open on Tuesday. It's Saturday.

On May 22, 2021 I received a letter from Honda to advise me of a recall regarding my 2019 Honda Fit's fuel pump. I am leasing said automobile which lease expires in October, 2022. I tried making an appointment for June 15, 2021 at 2:30PM to have the fuel pump repaired only to receive a voicemail about an hour later from someone at Galpin Honda in Mission Hills (where I am leasing my car from) who said something to the effect that Honda was unable to repair my car because they don't have the parts to replace the fuel pump. I was told I would be receiving a second letter (I was not told when nor what the second letter would consist of).

I purchased my new vehicle February 2020. These are my electronic vehicle issues: 1) my battery dies when left for several hours with no electronics left on and no after market add on equipment. 2) electronic display looses touch functionality. Battery disconnect restores. 3) radio presets change to channels I would not select. I think a hacker has compromised the gps or cellular phone factory power/connect attachment. These issue stop when the vehicle looses view of the sky. Ie., metal roof garage. Attached volt meter and vehicle has severe electrical drain for normal 14.4 to 12.2 volts. This is variable and unrelated to heavy power draining equipment like "rear window defroster." Electrical system normally drops momentarily during factory equipment initial turn on but quickly returns to 14.4 volts.at various times while driving, system voltage will remain at 12.2 volts with no user electrical equipment change. Possible suspect within law enforcement reports. Law enforcement reports: Russell cty al 19sl06902, 18sl12031, 19sl06910 lee cty al 1906-2823, 1810-2196

The auto-lock fails intermittently after exiting the Fit with the key fob on my person, engine off, all doors shut, leaving the car's contents insecure and at risk of theft. The dealer and Honda american after 3 months don't know how to fix it. The concern is further escalated when concealing legal weapons in the vehicle.
