Mileage when the problem started
Owner reports
Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2015 Honda Fit owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
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. …
My check engine light came on, but shut off by the time I was able to see a repair shop. I needed a smog, but they decided to check my car first to see why the light came on and went away. It had to do with the fuel injector/catalytic converter. He wanted me to drive it a bit and come back to see if it would go away. It did not, even though my lights remained off and the car was operating fine. Had I not needed the smog check, I would have canceled the appointment and not known. After doing research, it is common for fuel injectors on my car to fail due to a faulty part. Honda issued an extended warranty, but even after calling for more information, they were unhelpful. I ended up paying $3,000 to resolve this. My car is a 2015 and just hit 85k miles. Honda should be informing owners of this issue.
The fuel gauge in the gauge cluster turns on and off unexpectedly and without reason for extended periods of time. The gauge will also do what I like to call hieroglyphic numbers, essentially unreadable lettering clearly due to an electrical malfunction. This is very distracting as a driver and has put me in a very near death experience from the fault. This problem makes it impossible to read the fuel quantity during or before operation of the vehicle. It has been confirmed by dealer that the fault is due to a damaged solder and has been clear that this is a common issue with most Honda fits.
While driving, 2015 Honda Fit lost acceleration and stalled. 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).
My 2015 Honda Fit out of nowhere won't start and is flashing an electrical system issue. A few weeks before this the electrical system stopped showing how much gas was in the car, how many miles etc. That whole electrical system looked really garbled then goes dark. My car wont start. And even after I fix it I cant drive around not knowing how much gas is in the car.
Unintended and sudden acceleration. November 2015 the car was making a right hand turn into a parking space, while pressing the brake the car suddenly accelerated the brakes did not work, the car traveled about 70 feet before stopping. Took it to tom wood Honda all they checked was the brakes and said it was fine. Update: February 2016 making a right hand turn into a parking space at a panera bread gently tapped the brakes the car accelerated and went thru the door at panera bread. Tom wood Honda checked the brakes says its fine and released it to the collision center. I am making lease payments on this car but when it's repaired it is staying at the lot. It accelerates on it's own and is going to kill someone. I cannot allow anyone in my family to drive it. I also cannot afford insurance wise to drive a car I know accelerates when it decides to.
While parking the car in the parking space, it suddenly self-accelerated, jumped the curb, and crashed into the wall in front of the car resulting in injuries to both the driver (2 fractured neck vertebrae, 3 fractured ribs on right side, and broken left foot) and passenger (laceration to right hand and bruised ribs on left side). The acceleration was too fast for either the driver or passenger to respond. Airbags did not deploy, and the car was considered a total loss due to the extensive damage to the front end.
Purchased car new from dealer 7/2015. In 2/2018 all warning lights came on while driving. Honda replaced the fuel injectors. Same issue again in 4/2018 & Honda replaced injectors again. Service rep (richfield- bloomington Honda) told us they were seeing this problem in fits that were low mileage & "not driven much." rep could not tell us how much driving would be "enough" or how to avoid future problems. 4/2019 same problem --all warning lights came on while driving again & this time Honda replaced the cylinder head. Service director told us that, while the car is "currently fixed," he "sees no reason this problem won't continue to happen" bc we don't drive much. …
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. …
Our 2015 Honda Fit, with only 56,000 miles on it, suddenly stalled right as I tried to accelerate after being stopped at an intersection. I tried restarting the engine multiple times, but after turning over and running for maybe 1 second, the engine would quickly shut off and was completely inoperable. This is an extremely dangerous problem, stalling us in the middle of a busy 8-lane avenue and the car had to be pushed up a hill and off to a side road as there was no shoulder. With my spouse and four month old daughter in the car, it put my family in a great deal of danger. The dealer finally cited a faulty fuel pressure sensor inside the fuel rail. With so many others reporting failures with either the fuel injectors or fuel rail, this is obviously a faulty part(s) and will hopefully be resolved by Honda. …
