THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY OF MY MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS IS OFTEN BLANK WHEN I INITIALLY START MY CAR, OR THE DISPLAY IS GIBBERISH (E.G. NUMBERS AND LETTERS WHERE THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY). THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY (3-4X/WEEK) AND TENDS TO BE WORSE WHEN IT'S COLDER OUTSIDE.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT OF THE HONDA FIT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. THE SEAT FORCES THE SHOULDERS FORWARD INTO A HUNCHED POSITION, JUST THE NECK OUT WITH THE HEAD RESTRAINT, AND CURVES THE BACK. I'VE HAD TO FLIP THE HEAD RESTRAINT BACKWARD, ADD A PILLOW TO MY BACK, AND I STILL AIM TO DRIVE AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. COMBINED WITH THE LOW SHOCKS, EACH BUMP OR POTHOLE REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT MY BODY WHICH ISN'T ABLE TO ABSORB THE SHOCK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO. AFTER ONLY A MONTH OF DRIVING IT I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE NECK PAIN THAT CAUSED ME TO GO TO THE DOCTOR, THEN MASSAGE THERAPIST. CURRENTLY DUE TO THE NECK, BACK, AND HIP PROBLEMS SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE CAR I AM IN CONSTANT, CHRONIC PAIN WHICH INCREASES AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES IN THE CAR. I JUST FINISHED 2 MONTHS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AND STILL HAVE 2-3 MASSAGE THERAPIST AND CHIROPRACTOR APPOINTMENTS A MONTH, PLUS A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT TO GET OUT OF THE PAIN. THE INJURY AFFECTS MY WORK AS WELL AS TIME AT HOME AS I CANNOT SIT OR STAND IN MOST POSITIONS FOR PERIODS OF TIME LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES WITHOUT INCREASED PAIN. I HAD TO CANCEL A BUSINESS TRIP DUE TO THE PAIN AND HAVE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED TRADING IN THE CAR TO GET A BETTER SEAT. *TR

MILEAGE/GAS DISPLAY GOES BLANK, THEN FLASHES SOME GIBBERISH INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ISSUE STARTED AFTER I HAD A NEW HONDA BATTERY INSTALLED A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, BUT CONTINUED WHILE PARKED. COMPUTER SEEEMS TO KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS ONCE DISPLAY RETURNS. STAYED ON AFTER CAR WAS WARM. NOT SURE IF IT?S RELATED, BUT THE USB AND BLUETOOTH HAVE ALSO BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAR LEFT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A ENGINE RPMS GO HIGH AND THEN I LOST THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN IT HAPPENED, THE D ON THE DASHBOARD BECAME FULL WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT LETTERS. A DISTINCT LETTER WAS NOT VISIBLE. TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, I WAS LUCKY TO REACH IT BEING ON THE I10 WEST IN SAN BERNARDINO. TURNED OFF AND ON THE VEHICLE AND SHIFTED, BUT IT DIDN'T ENGAGE. THE ONLY FUNCTION THAT WORKS IS PARK. THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. WAITING TO BE TOWED TO SPREEN HONDA IN LOMA LINDA.

ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE FUEL GAUGE VERY OFTEN GOES BLANK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. A DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN GAS TANK IS EMPTY, AND POSSIBLY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE SAME GAUGE SHOWS PROMPTS WHEN MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT VISUAL REFERENCE TO THESE PROMPTS, AGAIN A DIRE SITUATION COULD OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DAILY, FROM THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY , SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. HONDA WANTS OVER $1000, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT, ESPECIALLY ON COLD MORNINGS (I LIVE IN MINNESOTA). IT STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I NOW HAVE A COURIER JOB THAT REQUIRES PHOTOS OF MY ODOMETER EVERY DAY. IF THIS GOES OUT WHILE WORKING, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. I ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK. I'M HOPING ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM REPORT THE ISSUE, AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CAN HAPPEN. THANK YOU!

I BOUGHT HONDA FIT 2015 ON JAN 11, 2015. LAST YEAR I GOT THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON. THE ENGINE DID NOT START WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON MANY TIMES. ON JUNE 13, 2020, I BROUGHT MY CARD TO HONDA DEALER. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE STARTER. I LEFT THE CAR AT DEALER AND COME BACK TO PICK UP THE SAME DAY. AT DEALER PARKING LOT, I STARTED MY CAR AND IT DID THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. I CAME BACK INSIDE THE OFFICE AND LET THE TECHNICIAN KNEW. SO, I LEFT MY CAR AGAIN AT DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX IT. AT THAT TIME, MY CAR WAS 29,221 MILES ONLY FOR 5 AND HALF YEARS. I NOT DRIVE MY CAR A LOT JUST ABOUT 12 MILES PER DAY. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD TO FIXED SOMETHING ELSE AND CHARGED ME FOR TOTAL $750. I THINK IT IS NOT FAIR FOR ME TO PAY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I FILE THE COMPLAIN WITH HONDA COMPANY ON JUNE 2020 AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY REPLY BACK. FEB 20, 21, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ABOUT WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR 2015-17 FIT KEYLESS START SYSTEM ERROR WITH DTC B12C5. HONDA WOULD REIMBURSE IF I FIXED THAT PROBLEM BEFORE. I FILED PAPERWORK WITH ALL RECEIPTS ON 02/23/21. TODAY, I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM HONDA CLAIM DEPARTMENT 03/11/2021 THEY STATED I DID NOT QUALIFIED FOR REIMBURSE BECAUSE THE PART THEY REPLACED NOT QUALIFIED. I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY? BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS, ONE DAY I HAD TO STAY ON PARKING LOT FOR 30 MINUTES TRING TO START THE ENGINE. I WAS LATE FOR WORK AND LATE FOR MY APPOINTMENTS TWICE. THE REIMBURSE CLAIM NUMBER: 11377164. THE CLAIM DEPARTMENT TOLD ME MY CASE WAS CLOSED BECAUSE I AM NOT QUALIFIED FOR THIS SITUATION. I AM NOT A TECHNICIAN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THE CAR. THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS WITH 29,221 MILES HONDA ENGINE START/STOP BUTTON NOT WORKING. THIS IS THE 2ND HONDA CAR I HAVE. FOR THIS EXPERIENCE I WILL NOT BUY ANY CAR FROM HONDA ANYMORE.

THE GAUGE DISPLAY THAT SHOWS MILEAGE, FUEL INDICATOR, OIL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE READING AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION MAY COME ON SOMETIMES. IF IT DOES COME ON, IT IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CANNOT READ IT AND THEN GOES BLANK. I AM VERY INSECURE DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE OR THE MILEAGE READING TO KNOW WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS BE DONE. I CONTACTED HONDA CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOR AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF MYSELF. I HAVE READ ON MANY SITES WHERE SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF I AM MOVING OR SITTING STILL. PLEASE, IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, CONTACT HONDA DIRECT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE MAKE HONDA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SOMETHING MAY BE DONE ABOUT IT.

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERIES EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE PURCHASE IN 2015. VEHICLE WILL FUNCTION FINE THEN STRUGGLE TO START OUT OF NOWHERE. DESPITE TAKING STEPS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY POWER DRAINING AND TRYING DIFFERENT BRANDS OF BATTERIES (WHICH IS A SMALL SELECTION) EVERY YEAR AROUND OCTOBER/NOVEMBER IT STARTS TO FAIL. THE CAR CAN BE JUMPSTARTED WITHOUT TOO MUCH ISSUE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT PORTABLE JUMPSTARTING SYSTEMS STRUGGLE TO GET IT GOING. ISSUES WILL START WITHOUT MUCH CORRELATION OF HOW MUCH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION PRIOR. CAR COULD'VE BEEN STATIONARY/TURNED OFF FOR 30 MINS OR A DAY WITH THE SAME RESULTS.

I WAS DRIVING 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, UNDER CRUISE CONTROL. I ACCELERATED TO PASS A TRUCK. THE ENGINE HESITATED. A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, VEHICHLE STABBILTY ASSIST, ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING AGAINST MY INPUTS TO 45MPH (LIMP MODE) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MANY MILES FROM ANYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE CODE BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT. THIS GOT ME A FEW MORE MILES, THE IT (LIMP MODE) HAPPENED AGAIN. I DISCONNECT/RECONNECT BATTERY ONCE MORE AND THIS GETS ME 35 MORE MILES AND TO THE NEAREST TOWN. TAKING IT TO A SHOP, THEY IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AS THE FUEL INJECTORS BY RESEARCHING ONLINE. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON ON THIS YEAR (2015) OF HONDA FIT, AND STILL SEEMS TO PERSIST DESPITE A REDESIGN OF THE INJECTORS FROM HONDA. THE REPAIR WAS HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE ($1,000 FOR PARTS FROM HONDA), BOTH FOR A CHEAP AND CHEERFUL CAR, AS WELL AS WHAT APPEARS TO BE VERY ORDINARY SOLENOID FUEL INJECTORS. I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS KNOW ISSUE BY HONDA HASN'T SPAWNED A RECALL, BUT EITHER WAY, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR.

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.

2 HUGE ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 45K MILES ON IT AND BY 60,000 MILES I NEEDED THE ENTIRE FUEL RAIL REPLACED DUE TO LURCHING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROADS. HONDA PAID FOR IT AFTER A LENGTHY ARGUMENT BETWEEN DEALERSHIPS. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I AM CONTINUALLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NO-IGNITION KEYS. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, IT TOLD ME "LOW KEY BATTERY", "NO KEY" OR JUST WOULDNT REGISTER THEM. I REPLACED BOTH THE CAR BATTERY AND THE KEY BATTERIES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM MODULE. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND LESS THAN A .MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT MAY JUST BE THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS. TODAY I COULD NOT START MY CAR. EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR, AND EVEN PUSHING IT RIGHT UP TO THE IGNITION BUTTON WHICH USUALLY WORKS.

I FEEL VERY INSECURE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN THE CAR OR MY MILEAGE THAT I DEPEND ON FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP IN LATE 2019, I NOTICED A SLIGHT SHUDDER AT LOW ACCELERATION. I FOUND THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR EVALUATION. IT HAD 84,000 MILES AT THE TIME. THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION FILLER PLUG WAS MISSING. APPARENTLY IT HAD BEEN MISSING FOR SOME TIME, AS THERE WAS CAKED, DIRTY ATF SPILLED DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRANSMISSION CASE. THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) WAS COMING APART INTERNALLY AND REQUIRED A FULL REPLACEMENT. HONDA DECLINED ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE OTHER REFERENCES IN ONLINE FORUMS TO FILLER CAPS ON 2015 HONDA CVTS POPPING OUT DURING OPERATION.

I ASKED IF IT COULD STILL SAFELY BE DRIVEN. THEY SAID THAT IT COULD BECOME DISABLED, STRANDING ME WHEREVER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TODAY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCING OF THE FAULTY INJECTOR PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME AND THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS OVER A $1700 REPLACEMENT COST.

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS FREQUENTLY MALFUNCTIONS, EITHER GOING COMPLETELY BLANK OR RAPIDLY FLASHING RANDOM CHARACTERS (LETTERS AND NUMBERS). THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER BUT FOR MY VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING IN WARMER (UP TO 75 DEGREES F). ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION- ANY TIME CAR IS ON. A QUICK SEARCH OF VEHICLE OWNER FORUMS ONLINE RETURNS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS DESPITE IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE FUEL GAUGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FLASHING IS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY TOOK IT TO GET FIXED AT HONDA NOW. THEY CHARGE $179 JUST TO 'DIAGNOSE' THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT.

2015 HONDA FIT (WITH APPROX. 24K MILES). BATTERY WILL LOSE CHARGE AFTER CAR IS NOT USED / SITS FOR THREE (3) TO FOUR (4) DAYS WITH ALL LIGHTS / RADIO / ACCESSORIES TURNED OFF. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY AUGUST 2020. REPLACEMENT BATTERY IS PROPERLY SIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS CAUSING A PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. DEALER REPS HAVE STATED THIS IS A WELL-RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITH THE FIT MODEL. RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE CAR BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 10 TO 15 MILES EVERY DAY OR 2ND DAY. THE RECOMMENDATION DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY / 2ND DAY IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE IN TERMS OF GAS COSTS BUT ALSO NEEDLESSLY CONTRIBUTES TO POLLUTION AND (PERHAPS BY DESIGN) EARLY VEHICLE OBSOLESCENCE. THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) UNIT IN THE FUSE/RELAY BOX. THIS ELD READS THE AMPERAGE LOAD DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND SENDS A VARIED VOLTAGE SIGNAL TO THE PCM WHICH REGULATES THE SIGNAL TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE ELD IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PCM. THE PCM IS CONNECTED TO THE ALTERNATOR, NOT THE ELD. THE ELD MONITORS THE AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMS THE PCM AS TO WHAT TO DO. THE ELD WILL VARY THE OUTPUT BETWEEN .1 TO 4.8 VOLTS TO THE ECU. THIS REFERENCE VOLTAGE IS WHAT TELLS THE ECU TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE FIELD STRENGTH IN THE ALTERNATOR. AS THE CURRENT IS RAMPED UP OR DOWN THE ELD RATCHETS THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE TO THE PCM TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. I WAS TOLD THAT A HONDA BULLETIN STATED: SYMPTOM: THE CAR WILL NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR A WEEK. PROBABLE CAUSE: THE ELD IS FAULTY OR HAS A FAULTY SOLDER JOINT. SOLUTION: - REPLACE THE UNDER HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. HONDA MOTORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE CARS TO FIX THE ELD / PCM PARTS / ALTERNATOR COMPUTER PROGRAM AND UP SIZE THE BATTERIES TO HANDLE THE PARASITIC DRAW.

THE INTEGRATED ODOMETER+FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS INTERMITTENTLY BUT REGULARLY. DISPLAY FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY MANY TIMES DURING SEVERAL YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP. FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF DISPLAY FAILURE HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN LAST 6 MONTHS RESULTING IN INCREASED SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DRIVER IS BLINDED TO VEHICLE FUEL STATUS AND/OR DISTANCE DRIVEN WHEN DISPLAY FAILS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS, AND SOMETIMES THE FAILURE LASTS FOR MANY MILES OR MULTIPLE DAYS BEFORE IT SELF-CORRECTS UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE OCCURS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS SPORADICALLY REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, BUT HAPPENS MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY (ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY) DURING COLD WEATHER WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 DEGREES.
