The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while entering the driveway while idling, the accelerator pedal was not depressed when the vehicle accelerated inadvertently. The brake pedal was then depressed but failed to respond. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a building, a hose, and a palm tree where it came to a stop. The vehicle remained at the scene of the crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact sustained injuries to both knees and medical attention was required. A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

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)

Right side dashboard display showing *gas gauge, time, *temperature, *odometer, trip mileage, gas efficiency, etc. usually displays blank and may occasionally reappear with certain temperatures briefly. Lack of this information could cause me to run out of gas or be unprepared for freezing road temperatures. As I am a single, mobility-limited, elderly woman, this is a huge safety problem. Available for inspection. Dealer acknowledges problem is common for Honda Fits. Advised it will cost several hundred to fix, which is not feasible as I am on social security. Problem appeared around 18 months after purchasing new. No repairs have been made.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The first time, the contact stated that while driving at a low rate of speed, the vehicle independently lurched forward without warning before the vehicle corrected itself and resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to a dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated and no fault was found with the vehicle. A year later while the contact's husband had come to a complete stop at a stop sign; the vehicle's engine began to rev while making a right turn. The vehicle then independently accelerated as the contact's husband attempted to avoid hitting a barrier in the middle of a traffic circle. The contact's husband steered the vehicle off the road and drove the vehicle into some rocks and shrubbery which flattened the front passenger tire and damaged the front end of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy during the incident and no injuries were reported. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 10, 800.

Recall 23V-858 issued nearly 1 year ago. Honda notified that parts were available to those not currently experiencing direct fuel pump issues in September of 2024. Dealership was contacted in early October, late October, and mid-November but repeatedly claims that parts are not available. Although I was added to a waitlist, no indication of parts availability to remedy the recall has been provided.
- 12/04/2024· FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
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.

Engine light came on and it was brought to the dealership and I was told all fuel injectors need to be replaced and it wouldn't be under warranty. The car has 65,000 miles on which is just over warranty, but I should still not have had to replace these yet. There have been other problems with the fuel system with the fuel pump recall and they have extended the warranty on fuel injectors in other Honda vehicles, which leads me to believe this is a greater problem than just my car and it should still be covered by Honda.

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.

I have a 2019 Honda Fit Sport. Within the last year, the instrument panel with all notifications regarding the vehicle, such as the fuel level, check engine light, low tire pressure light, low oil pressure, and any notifications regarding the braking systems, began flickering intermittantly. Now the instrument panel is completely blank. This has been confirmed by the Capital Honda in Lansing, Michigan when I took the vehicle in for service. This appears to be a common issue as I found numerous forums online that indicate that this is an issue with multiple years of the Honda Fit, but other Honda models as well. This is a safety issue because if any of these notifications should be on but cannot display because of a faulty instrument panel, I would never know. The car could run out of gas, the brakes could fail or the engine could fail and I would not know until it was too late.

While driving the emission system problem warning came up on my dash with the check engine light. After this happened it became incredibly hard to accelerate the engine. I was driving on the freeway and attempting to merge putting my life and my families at risk because the engine was trying to accelerate but sputtering and stopping for a moment instead. It hasn’t been inspected by police, but went to dealer and got code P219A and was told this was a faulty fuel injector. This was the first time this had happened and no other warning lights came on before the emission system problem that popped up on the dash.

We just picked up our car for the second incident on 10/28 and now on 10/31 it has happened for the third time. This seems very unsafe as I am not sure if the safety features will work properly of if it will have a major malfunction while driving and possibly cause an accident.

The display has stopped functioning in cold weather. The odometer, fuel level, and lights on dash fail to work during cold weather. This is a safety hazard and prevents the driver from being able to monitor fuel levels. This has been happening since 20k miles.

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.

My Fit was purchased in May of 2019. On October 2022, all warning lights (tpms, check engine, lane assist, etc) suddenly turned on when the vehicle was turned on. The car was taken to the same Honda dealer where it purchased and the service department determined the problem to be a cylinder misfire (P0303, cylinder #3). Since I immediately took the vehicle to be serviced, I was able to avoid a likely engine stall that other Fit owners have been experiencing. My vehicle has had all of its required and recommended maintenance performed on time at the same Honda dealer where it was purchased, including replacing the fuel pump at 15k miles and performing decarb service at 20k miles. Even though my Fit was maintained to the exact specifications Honda required, the car still had this fuel system failure which the service department was unable to explain nor were they willing to comp despite having an extended warranty (also purchased at dealer). This error code is the same problem that triggered a service bulletin on all previous model years which Honda covered but has not done so for this model year. I spoke with Honda Customer Service department (1-800-999-1009, option 1, 6, 5) and their warranty department but neither were willing to help because it was beyond the 3yr/36k coverage and was not covered by the extended warranty.

The rear left seatbelt is frayed where it meets the interior wall of the car behind the rear passenger door. This seat has never been used by any passengers that I can recall and only happened to notice it while cleaning. It was inspected by a Honda dealer and was advised it was not covered under warranty as it was usual wear and tear despite it never being used. After looking online, others have experienced the same issue on the same side of the rear passenger seat with third generation (2015+) Honda Fit vehicles. Since it is not being used, it is available to be inspected prior to replacing the defective seat belt.

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.

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.

Undercarriage engine splash shield was hanging loose after getting Honda service. Took it back to dealer and 2 plastic screw put it right. A few days later the front of this shield is now hanging from my car scraping the road. It's Labor day weekend. I am afraid this is going to fall off and hit a car behind me. I googled this and it has been an ongoing problem since at least 2015. There were no warning lamps, messages to let me know. I did not hit anything or go into any road debris. It happened on the highway at regular highway speed. This is very concerning to me. I cannot safely drive my car until shops open on Tuesday. It's Saturday.

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.

The Towed Battery Charger Plus (TBC+) manufactured by RVIBrake.com (DBA: Danco) of Castle Rock, CO 80109, was installed on our Honda Fit, prior to a vacation in May 2021. While heading back to our home in Florida on July 11 2021, on Interstate 84 near Matamoras, PA, we started smelling burnt plastic. We pulled off the highway and noticed the burnt smell coming from under our hood. Upon opening the hood we could see the TBC+ smoldering. The result of this aftermarket component (TBC+) failing caused an under hood fire, which melted plastic components on the Honda Fit. This TBC+ also shorted, resulting in sending excess voltage and current to the electrical components on the Honda fit. This resulted in our alternator failing. As it is a fire hazard, I would like all TBC+ modules manufactured by RVIBrake.com to be recalled and all owners of this module get compensated for any expenses resulting from this device.

Vehicle has less than 16k miles over 6 years of ownership. One day, upon starting the car, multiple warning lights, including check engine light, appeared. Dealer stated after diagnostic that issue is due to misfire in one cylinder due to carbon buildup. This is a known issue with this model, and several repair bulletins have been made about this specific issue. Certain VINs were given an extended warranty to fix this problem, but despite having this exact issue and my VIN being mentioned in the repair bulletin, my car is not covered, forcing me to pay out of pocket for this known issue. Car is deemed not safe to drive by dealer until issue is remedied.

At 50,0341miles, after a routine B1 service (oil change and transmission) the LKAS, Brake system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beam assist lights all began to turn on every two to three times I turned on my car. These lights will light up on my dash and stay on for the entire drive (with the systems not working). Then they will not be on for a few drives. Then they will go on again. This is an intermittent problem and only happens every other time I start the car (so it appears the camera is “dying” or faulty, not damaged due to negligence.) I have not broken the windshield and have treated this car very well. With this camera breaking, I will lose the safety features included in my car until I can afford to pay the dealership $2000 to fix the camera in the windshield. I will no longer have cruise control (which I can live without), however I am concerned about the loss of the braking system and lane controls. This seems to be a known issue as there are many other Honda owners online dealing with similar issues around the same mileage in their cars with the same years (but many different model cars). Honda had no concern when I reached out to the dealership (who performed the original B1 service), and immediately knew what was wrong when I explained what lights went on, could tell me the cost of a camera replacement, and told me it was nothing they did during the service appointment I had with them. If they are truly having these cameras fail at a high rate at around 40k to 50k miles, it seems to be a larger issue that needs to be observed by the NHTSA. I am happy to have the system failure confirmed by the NHTSA. I have not had this confirmed by the dealership as I cannot honestly afford to do so on a teachers salary at this time. (It is $99 to confirm that the camera is breaking, which we already know is occurring due to the series of lights and current numerous reports online from other Honda owners and dealership).

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.
