Purchased great condition used 2019 Fit EX on XXX from local non-Honda dealership. Nearly 10 months later, on XXX the following errors appeared on the dash: tire pressure monitor system, emissions, hill start assist, lane deviation warning, power steering, and vehicle stability assist errors on the screen, and the check engine, tire pressure monitoring system, vehicle stability assist system, and electric power steering lights were also on. I took it to a local Honda service shop (Performance Kings Honda at [XXX]), and it was diagnosed as needing fuel injectors replaced (running too rich). I approved the repair for a total cost of $1,629.32, including the diagnostic fee, parts, labor, and taxes, on XXX. This was an identical issue to a used 2018 Honda Fit EX that I had purchased on XXX which had the same symptoms and was diagnosed as the same problem (fuel injectors) in XXX, and for which I submitted a separate NHTSA complaint. This is an issue for the NHTSA because it is a known issue on this make and model of car by owners and Honda. See the following: Honda Service Bulletins 21-007, 22-002, 23-042. Additionally, it's an issue I have had to deal with twice, on two separate vehicles, both of the same make and model, meaning it is likely an extremely prevalent issue for owners. Fuel injectors are an expensive repair, and they're known to be faulty on these vehicles by the manufacturer. Without correction, other major systems in the vehicle will fail, with issues such as engine misfire, overheating, catalytic converter failure, and catastrophic damage to the engine. Honda already knows this is an issue on the 2016 and 2017 models. The warranty extension they already issued for these years must be expanded or replicated to cover this issue, which has persisted in the 2018-2020 models. This should be expanded to cover additional years as well. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Screen with odometer, gas gauge, mpg, etc has been failing. Makes it difficult to get service and warranty coverage on repairs, tires, etc due to not knowing mileage at time of service. Also makes it difficult to know how much fuel is in the vehicle, with risk of running out of gas causing operation and safety issues. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Has been confirmed by dealer and independent service centers. Has been inspected (at my cost) by dealer to determine the cause of the fault. No warning lamps or messages (issue is that these systems are not reliably working) prior to issue. Has worked intermittently, with issues for over 2 years.

Multiple warning lights lit up after starting car and driving for a short distance (less than 5 feet). Honda mechanic diagnosed it as a misfire in cylinder likely due to carbon buildup or other unknown reason. Similar incidents have happened with other 2019 Honda Fit and an extension of warranty was issued for some vehicles but not all (SB 23-042). Unfortunately, mine was apparently not covered despite the same exact issue as other reported incidents.

The dashboard display screen that shows gas gauge, mileage, clock, MPH, and oil life glitches on and off, is at times completely blank, and sometimes shows gibberish or incorrect information. Sometimes it works, but over the past 2-3 years it happens progressively more. My vehicle is about 6 years old and the display now work correctly almost never. This is a safety issue because I now have no way of knowing if I am running out of gas because the display most often shows me nothing, and sometimes shows more gas on the gauge that there actually is. This could lead to my vehicle stalling in traffic or leaving me stranded somewhere unsafe. I also seldom can see the milage and oil life, which means I don't have any way to know if my car is due for important service that ensures it is operating safely. A quick internet search into the problem shows that this is a very common issued in Honda Fits over multiple year models, and is also costly to fix, usually requiring replacement of the unit.

UNKNOWN cause. Went to official Honda dealership, oil was changed and given a multi-point inspection. Everything showed as Satisfactory, except for front brakes that showed as May require future attention. Battery test was fine and the sensors were cleaned. However, the engine lights still show. I do not feel safe driving my car, given the red solid warning of the brake system and multiple other problems.

White paint is peeling badly and causing body of vehicle to corrode and rust. It is primary occurring on the roof of the vehicle, where the white paint is peeling off in sheets. I have reported this to Honda corporate through their customer service phone number. I have also made Pohanka Honda of Fredericksburg aware of the problem. There was a previous recall for identical peeling white paint issues that was extended to cover 2018 white Honda Fit vehicles, but the 2019 white paint clearly has the same issue. The paint is defective and leads to significant premature body damage.

My vehicle has difficulty starting and sometimes won't even start at all, the motor is irregular/jumpy, and the check engine light and steering wheel light have come on. After getting a diagnostics run at AutoZone the computer indicates it's a fuel pump issue. A second opinion with a mechanic also confirmed it was the fuel pump. After further research I see that the 2019 Honda Fit had a recall for Fuel Pumps. However, my specific VIN does not qualify for a recall. Honda needs to further investigate and expand the number of vehicles that were affected by this faulty fuel pump. I've been left stranded numerous times and fear that the vehicle may stall while driving, putting myself and other drivers on the road at risk.

Dear NHTSA, I am submitting a complaint regarding unsafe vehicle service practices by Indy Honda, located in Indianapolis, Indiana. On December 8, 2023, I had my 2019 Honda Fit serviced at their dealership, including an oil change. On [XXX], while traveling on the interstate in Kentucky, my vehicle suddenly experienced a catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle’s lights illuminated without warning, followed by loud popping sounds, and it began smoking. As I slowed down to pull over to the side of the road, the car swerved and stalled. After investigation by Fidelity Warranty and a certified Honda dealership, it was determined that the engine failure was caused by an improperly tightened drain plug and crush washer, leading to a complete loss of engine lubrication. Despite providing substantial evidence and attempting to resolve the matter, Indy Honda has refused to take responsibility for the damages. This failure created a hazardous situation while driving at high speeds on the interstate, posing significant risks to my safety. I kindly request that the NHTSA investigate Indy Honda’s servicing practices and take appropriate action to prevent similar safety risks for other consumers. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Forward Collision AvoidanceDec 2024 · ODI 11628931Details +

Component/System Involved: The multi-purpose camera system on my 2019 Honda Fit has malfunctioned, affecting critical safety features, including the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), and Collision Braking Warning System (CBWS). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The malfunction of these systems significantly jeopardizes safety. For example, the ACC failed to maintain appropriate distance from vehicles ahead, the LKAS did not provide necessary steering assistance, and the CBWS failed to detect and warn of potential collisions. These issues increase the risk of accidents, especially during highway or congested traffic driving. Problem Reproduction and Confirmation: The issue was reproduced and confirmed by Swickard Honda of Thousand Oaks during an inspection conducted on August 20, 2024. Inspection Details: The vehicle was inspected by the dealer, who diagnosed the problem and provided a repair quote. The manufacturer has not yet physically inspected the vehicle, nor have insurance representatives or law enforcement been involved. Warning Indicators: Prior to the failure, warning messages appeared on the vehicle’s dashboard, including notifications for ACC, LKAS, and CBWS system failures. These warnings first appeared in early 2024, becoming more frequent and persistent over time. Additional Information: I filed a case with Honda under Case #14932073 requesting a complimentary repair due to the vehicle's age and the nature of the safety system malfunction. Despite explaining the critical safety implications, Honda did not offer a resolution. Given the significant safety risks posed by the malfunction and the lack of resolution from the manufacturer, I urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter, as it may represent a broader defect impacting other vehicles of the same make and model.

White paint peeling off car. Honda has a service for this but not the 2019 model year. This is a known issue with their white paint and should be corrected to include this year. Several forums are posting about the same issue where the paint jut fly's off.

EngineNov 2024 · ODI 11624511Details +

Four dashboard warning signs (Check Engine Light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Vehicle Stability Assist System, Electric Power Steering) appeared all at once suddenly. I had the vehicle towed to my local Honda dealership. They gave me a diagnostic code of P0304 and insisted that the repair did not fall under my car's active warranty. I searched the web and found it is a common problem in Honda Fits. Some 2019 Honda Fits have an extended warranty for fuel injection replacement, but it is not applicable to my car for an unknown reason. Relevant service bulletins: 23-042 and 21-007.

Electrical SystemOct 2024 · ODI 11619078Details +

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.

Fuel/Propulsion SystemSep 2024 · ODI 11615964Details +

We just had the fuel injectors fail for the 2nd time on this car, which has about 85,000 miles on it. The fuel injectors were originally replaced in 2021 by the dealer and have once again failed according to the dealer’s diagnosis. Honda America’s extended warranty for some Fits for this same issue needs to be extended to other model years. It is unreasonable to have to replace fuel injectors twice within this short of a time span.

To whom it may concern, I am seeing a Failing Odometer Display in my 2019 Honda Fit. I've reported to both Dean Honda, and now Washington Honda here in Pennsylvania. Seems to be more prevalent in the morning, lasting anywhere between a few minutes or up to an hour. During this time, I either see just a backlight with Zero Information being Displayed or unidentifiable Hieroglyphics being displayed. I am unable to view Miles/gal, Time, Oil Life, Trip Odometer and the Odometer Reading. Which brings me to my next point, is the mileage actually being calculated while this display is either off or unreadable? Thank you kindly in advance for your time and consideration. It also seems as others are reporting this as well at least on Honda Forums, although there isn't a recall yet that covers this.

The dashboard display that shows fuel gauge, mileage, and maintenance minders glitches. Frequently some components of the numbers and gauges aren't visible, while other times the display is completely blank. An unreliable fuel gauge is a safety issue if fuel runs out and disrupts traffic/causes an accident. Unknown maintenance needs can cause several electrical and mechanical safety issues. This glitch has been occurring for 4-5 months but has gotten more frequent and more persistent in the last several weeks. I have an inspection scheduled with the dealership.
