This vehicle has not been inspected by dealership, nor insurance. Suddenly all warning lamps(LKAP, RDMP, CMSP, ABP with the Break System) went on. Im just affraid of an accident that could be caused by the failure of the systems. Lamps have been on for at least 4 months. It also had a recall for the fuel system, it was supposed to been taken care at a dealership but now the engine lamp is on as well with fuel emissions system. Yes, this vehicle is available to be inspected at any time. Im just don't feel safe driving it.

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.

Intermittent problem with gas gauge going totally blue with no display of information. No prior problems. Recently started and have not been to dealer about it. To date, has not lasted more than 20 minutes before returning to normal, with all info displayed. Without that gauge, the possibility of running out of gas on interstate or other busy road is highly likely and very dangerous. Usually happen when I start car. There is no warning.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit.

The contact was concerned that the vehicle was designed to drain the extra fuel but failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that fuel had entered the canister and the charcoal filter and the canister needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 17,081.

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.

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.

Random occurrences of CHECK FUEL CAP pop up on the R-hand indicator panel with no root cause. I've opened/closed the fuel cap until it clicks 3 times and start/stop the car 3x times but the alert will not stop appearing in the panel. When the alert occurs - it blinks and removes other important information in the panel, and is a nuisance when driving late at night. This has occurred over several tanks of gas and outdoor temperatures.

July 2020 Multiple check engine lights came on. Misfire code P0304 and P0302 for cylinder 4 at 32,491 miles. Dealership replaced fuel injectors on 07/16/20. five days and 562 miles later same issue occurred again. Back to dealership which found same codes and issues. Dealership perform decarb on system. 10/16/20 On a trip, same issue occurred so took to different Honda Dealership with only 1,000 miles driven since last issue. Same codes and same lights. This dealership stated misfire on all cylinders. They cleaned all cylinders of carbon. Cleaning lasted 10,000 miles and lights came back on 07/02/21. Had to wait to get service appointment at dealership on 07/09/21. Same lights and same misfire codes. Dealership states over 3 years/36,000 mile warranty now so not covered. Now states needs to be decarbed and all 4 fuel injectors replaced at my expense. My issue is it was under warranty when issue first occurred. Even after parts were replaced, new parts did not solve the issue. The new parts should have been warrantied for 1year/12,000 miles and they did not last that long.

I was sent a letter with respect to the recall of certain Honda vehicles and mine was included. I called Galpin Honda in Mission Hills to make an appointment which was scheduled for June 15 (tomorrow) at 2:30 and it was cancelled two days after I made the appointment because I was told the part had not come in. I received a text message AND an email today confirming my appointment and I emailed Galpin back to advise them the appointment had been canceled. I am still waiting for a second letter that Galpin told me I would be receiving and to advise me when the part would arrive so I can take my car in for the repair.

CAR IS UNDER RECALL TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE FIRST DEALERSHIP I CALLED, CASTLE HONDA IN MORTON GROVE, IL, TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE CAR FIRST BEFORE ORDERING THE PART AND WOULD ONLY REPLACE IT IF IT WAS DAMAGED. I ARGUED THAT THAT WAS NOT WHAT THE RECALL NOTICE SAID THEY WOULD DO, BUT THE REP INSISTED THEY WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE CAR AND IT MIGHT NOT NEED REPAIR. I CALLED A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. (MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE CASTLE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NOT WITH AMERICAN HONDA).
