The digital gauge on the Genuine Honda Fit Instrument Cluster (factory-installed) flickers or goes blank intermittently. It is a well-documented and known defect in this model. The gauge is currently being replaced and I have asked for the defective part for evidence. The gauge includes the odometer, trip computer, digital fuel gauge, and engine oil information. It is a safety issue because you can run out of fuel, cannot track trip mileage (important when navigating in more remote areas), and can't see overall mileage (don't know when to service vehicle, etc.). The dealership has reproduced and identified the problem. No warning messages appeared before failure. The problem first appeared…

The vehicle has experienced the same electrical/charging problem twice. The first time, three warning lights came on while I was driving. The vehicle subsequently lost electrical power and began experiencing a significant loss of acceleration. The warning lights then went off, followed by a situation where there were no warning lights displayed. The vehicle's acceleration became slower, the steering wheel began to feel as though it was locking, and the vehicle eventually broke down. This created a serious safety concern because the vehicle lost power and became difficult to control while I was driving. I had the alternator and battery replaced in an attempt to correct the problem. However,…

The vehicle experienced transmission drive issues accompanied by a Check Engine Light. An independent repair facility scanned the vehicle and confirmed diagnostic trouble code P0717 for a transmission speed sensor open circuit. The failure causes unexpected loss of acceleration and erratic power delivery while driving, redlining at 45 mph, malfunctioning of the gear selection display, and creating a safety hazard in active traffic. These symptoms line up with the CVT drive pulley shaft defect addressed in NHTSA Recall 15V574. When I contacted an authorized Honda dealership to address the issue, they stated this specific VIN is not included in the recall campaign. The vehicle and its…

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the "Check Charging System" warning light illuminated. Additionally, the engine start button intermittently failed to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was initially diagnosed with battery failure. However, the failure persisted after the battery was replaced. A diagnostic scan retrieved 6 Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in the computer. Upon further diagnostic test, the independent mechanic identified Technical Service Bulletin: 20-098 (Warranty Extension: 2015â17 Fit Keyless Start System Error with DTC B12C5). The vehicle could not be repaired under the…

The paint (white orchid pearl) is peeling down to the metal on three of the doors. I did have a spot on the roof repaired during the extended 7 year warranty. But this current problem happened after the warranty expired.

Honda confirmed my 2015 Honda fit VIN was part of the paint warranty extension program, yet the paint has continued to fail and spread significantly after the warranty extension expired.

Further attempts to drive showed engine would fail past 2000 rpm. ⢠Failure occurred accelerating into traffic, risking collision. ⢠The failure was diagnosed by Coggin Honda Orlando as an In - Tank Fuel Pump Low Pressure Remove and Replace. ⢠UNKOWN if dealer referred issue to manufacturer. ⢠No warning lamps, messages or symptoms of the problem appeared prior to failure. Only after engine failure After research found multiple recalls related to same FIT fuel pump for other years (23v858, 21v215, 20v314).

The start/stop switch on my 2015 Honda Fit failed â a known defect acknowledged by Honda through Service Bulletin A20-098. A faulty start/stop switch creates serious safety hazards including the inability to start the vehicle in an emergency, becoming stranded in dangerous locations such as intersections or highways, and potential inability to shut the engine off. My vehicle is UNDER the mileage threshold specified in the bulletin, yet Honda refused to cover any portion of my $750 repair. This lack of professional accountability could lead to other consumers avoiding this costly repair, which in turn could create dangerous situations.
