Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
All the dashboard lights came on in my car. I took it to the dealer and they said they needed to clean the injectors due to carbon buildup. My car has 42,000 miles on it and is 2018 Honda Fit. They charged me 613 dollars to clean the injectors. Then they updated the computer. Two days later all the lights came on again and was throwing a fourth cylinder misfire code 304. They told me they would have to replace the injectors for 2,300 dollars. The Honda only has 42,000 miles on it, and the dealer said he would not be able to cover the cost. I thought injectors were covered under the powertrain warranty, but he said it was covered under the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Clearly, from reading other complaints here, there is a major issue with the injectors.

Defect Description:
FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
Potential Consequences:
The automated braking system deployed at maximum braking without warning 3 times in 60 miles of highway driving (this was the first time I had driven this car on a highway). The road in front was completely clear of both cars and debris for several miles, it was sunny without glare, and the road was dry. The one common factor was that all 3 times occurred while passing a semi truck, as I pulled level with the cab. I was thrown forward against the seatbelt while the car slammed on its brakes while beeping and flashing the orange 'BRAKE' warning, dropping from highway speeds by about 25 mph before I was able to intervene. Thankfully there was also no traffic behind me, so I was able to recover control of the vehicle, but otherwise this would have absolutely caused a collision. Prior to this incident, there were no warning signs or indications of a problem. I had purchased the vehicle as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle less than a week before, at which point it had been thoroughly inspected by the dealership and certified as free from issues. I have reported the issue to the dealership, but from cursory searching online it appears this is a known, unremediated issue - a quote from Wilde East Towne Honda (not my dealer): "You may find that CMBS is giving you notifications and even feedback when no threat is detected. That is normal on occasions...CMBS picks up 'optical illusions' occasionally"

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
My car's odometer and fuel display gauge is failing under cold weather. This started happening after just 29K miles. It jitters or displays incomplete numbers, or freezes up. When that happens, I can't see how much fuel I have in the car, for example, or how many miles are on the odometer. This is happening more frequently, which is dangerous.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I purchased a new Honda Fit in 2018. In November 2019, at 31,000 miles several indicator lights came on. The check engine, TPMS, Vehicle Stability assist, Electric Power System. The car was running smoothly but I was told by a Honda dealer there was excessive carbon build up. The cost to clean it out would be $500. They claimed that because this was caused by an outside element and a part had not failed that the warranty would not cover this. I fought it and they did a one-time courtesy repair at no charge. June 2021, 51,000 miles and the same thing happened all over again. Car running smoothly, no hesitation, no misfires. Different Honda dealer told me it was excessive carbon build up on manifold and this time it would be $604 plus tax. I asked if there was a maintenance service that would prevent this from happening and I was told no. That the fuel system service offered does not reach the areas of the engine where the carbon builds up. This is a problem with Direct Injection engines. Clearly there is a flaw in the direct injection engine design that Honda has known about for years and does not want to take responsibility for. This is unacceptable and Honda is committing consumer fraud by knowingly selling a flawed product that jeopardizes the safety of their customers. I do not feel safe driving this car with these failures in the engine, not knowing when this problem is going to happen again and facing an expensive repair bill every time it does happen. Not to mention the inconvenience of being without a car for several days while it is being repaired. I have documentation to back all of this up.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
I am a 76 year old Minnesota woman who lives on a limited budget. I purchased a used 2018 Honda Fit from Richfield Bloomington Honda (RBH) on 04-07-21. Initially the tachometer & speedometer gauges could easily be read during both day and night driving. Within about a month, during daylight driving these gauges became dark and very difficult to read – especially while driving with sunglasses during the day to protect my eyes from UVA and UVB rays. Other Honda Fit owners have experienced the same issue. Here’s a post I found on the internet: “I traded in my 2015 Fit last year for a 2017 Fit Sport. I seem to recall that, on the 2015, when in "daylight mode", the speedo/tach/fuel gauges were automatically brightly lit at full brightness. I've noticed lately that on my 2017, only the fuel gauge lights up brightly in daylight. The tach and speedo remain completely dark and barely readable. Honda dealer says nothing is wrong. Is this normal?” RBH has implied that the illumination problem I experience with my speedometer is somehow my fault – either because I wear the wrong sunglasses or that I shouldn’t wear any sunglasses when I drive. My 2018 Honda Fit is not safe when I take my eyes off a crowded hwy for 2-3 seconds while trying to discern my speed from a dark, barely readable speedometer. This could lead to a tragic accident! I met with several RBH reps re this illumination problem and sent follow up emails which were ignored. Because pf my low income, I can’t afford to fix the gauge problem and rely on my warrantee. Today only 200 miles are left before my warrantee ends, and RBH is in no hurry to fix the gauge problem. Because this is a safety issue, I want the speedometer fixed by RBH at no cost to me even if my warrantee ends due to RBH delays. I need RBH to provide me with a free loaner car until the speedometer on my 2018 Honda Fit is fixed and deemed safe to drive by an independent auto mechanic.

I've noticed lately that on my 2017, only the fuel gauge lights up brightly in daylight. The tach and speedo remain completely dark and barely readable. Honda dealer says nothing is wrong. Is this normal?” RBH has implied that the illumination problem I experience with my speedometer is somehow my fault – either because I wear the wrong sunglasses or that I shouldn’t wear any sunglasses when I drive. My 2018 Honda Fit is not safe when I take my eyes off a crowded hwy for 2-3 seconds while trying to discern my speed from a dark, barely readable speedometer. This could lead to a tragic accident! I met with several RBH reps re this illumination problem and sent follow up emails which were ignored. Because pf my low income, I can’t afford to fix the gauge problem, and I rely on my warrantee. Today only 200 miles are left before my warrantee ends, and RBH is in no hurry to fix the gauge problem. Because this is a safety issue, I want the speedometer fixed by RBH at no cost to me even if my warrantee ends due to RBH delays. I need RBH to provide me with a free loaner car until the speedometer on my 2018 Honda Fit is fixed and deemed safe to drive by an independent auto mechanic.
Corrective Action:
I am a 76 year old Minnesota woman who lives on a limited budget. I purchased a used 2018 Honda Fit from Richfield Bloomington Honda (RBH) on 04-07-21. Initially the tachometer & speedometer gauges could easily be read during both day and night driving. Within about a month, during daylight driving these gauges became dark and very difficult to read – especially while driving with sunglasses during the day to protect my eyes from UVA and UVB rays.

LAST WEEK THE MILEAGE/GAS SCREEN ON MY HONDA FIT GLITCHED A COUPLE OF TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE SCREEN CAME ON AN PERFORMED NORMALLY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. TODAY, I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK, A FEW SECONDS LATER THE SCREEN DISPLAYED WHAT LOOKED LIKE EVERY LIGHT IT COULD AND THE SCREEN HAD ALL KINDS OF GIBBERISH ON IT. THE SCREEN THEN WENT BLANK AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS SWITCH BETWEEN GIBBERISH AND BLANK FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MINUTES . I NEEDED TO KNOW THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE BUT IT WILL NOT DISPLAY THE MILEAGE OR ANY OTHER READABLE INFORMATION. I CONTACT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE MILEAGE WITHOUT THAT SCREEN WORKING AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME IF MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT IN ORDER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE CAR IS BETWEEN 30,000 AND 40,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY DAMAGE OR BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISIONS. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE UNTIL LAST WEEK AND EVERY TIME I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. UNKNOWN WHAT CREATED THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS SCREEN IS NOT WORKING, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, THE RPMS, THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE, AND HOW MANY MILES PER GALLON MY CAR IS USING. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ALSO NOT SHOWN. BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHOW MY MY MILEAGE OR GAS GAUGE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL STILL TRIGGER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WHEN MY FUEL IS LOW. PLEASE HELP!

I YOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED TO CONCLUDE THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. THANKFULLY IT WAS STILL UNDER 3 YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THIS WORK WAS COVERED UNDER THE SAME. HOWEVER THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE ME A ROOT CAUSE ON WHY THE INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WHAT I NEED TO DO GOING FORWARD TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. OVERALL THIS HAS SHAKEN MY TRUST IN THE HONDA BRAND AND I NEED SPECIFICS ON THE POSSIBLE REASONS WHY THIS COULD HAPPEN AND WHAT DO I, AS THE CAR OWNER, NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I'VE ALWAYS DONE REGULAR MAINTENENCE PER DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDATIONS & HAVE USED TOP TIER DETERGENT GASOLINE (REGULAR GRADE) FROM COSTCO. SHOULD I SWITCH TO PREMIUM GRADE? I USED TO DRIVE AROUND 300 MILES PER WEEK UNTIL MID MARCH 2020 AND DUE TO PANDEMIC INDUCED WORK FROM HOME I'VE NOT DRIVEN MUCH AT ALL. I ALSO USED NON TOP TIER REGULAR GRADE GAS FROM SAM'S THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT BEING USED MUCH. COULD THIS BE A REASON?
