What 134 owners told NHTSA about the 2019 Honda Fit

I PURCHASED MY NEW VEHICLE FEBRUARY 2020. THESE ARE MY ELECTRONIC VEHICLE ISSUES: 1) MY BATTERY DIES WHEN LEFT FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH NO ELECTRONICS LEFT ON AND NO AFTER MARKET ADD ON EQUIPMENT. 2) ELECTRONIC DISPLAY LOOSES TOUCH FUNCTIONALITY. BATTERY DISCONNECT RESTORES. 3) RADIO PRESETS CHANGE TO CHANNELS I WOULD NOT SELECT. I THINK A HACKER HAS COMPROMISED THE GPS OR CELLULAR PHONE FACTORY POWER/CONNECT ATTACHMENT. THESE ISSUE STOP WHEN THE VEHICLE LOOSES VIEW OF THE SKY. IE., METAL ROOF GARAGE. ATTACHED VOLT METER AND VEHICLE HAS SEVERE ELECTRICAL DRAIN FOR NORMAL 14.4 TO 12.2 VOLTS. THIS IS VARIABLE AND UNRELATED TO HEAVY POWER DRAINING EQUIPMENT LIKE "REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER." ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NORMALLY DROPS MOMENTARILY DURING FACTORY EQUIPMENT INITIAL TURN ON BUT QUICKLY RETURNS TO 14.4 VOLTS.AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, SYSTEM VOLTAGE WILL REMAIN AT 12.2 VOLTS WITH NO USER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CHANGE. POSSIBLE SUSPECT WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS. LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTS: RUSSELL CTY AL 19SL06902, 18SL12031, 19SL06910 LEE CTY AL 1906-2823, 1810-2196

I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO WAY HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WITH NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE. AN INCOMING CAR IN THE OTHER LANE GOING ABOUT 55 OR MORE MPH WAS DRIVING IN THE OTHER LANE. AS THE CAR GOT CLOSER TO MY CAR AND IN THEIR LANE, THE HONDA FIT SENSORS WENT OFF. FIRST, THE BRAKE SIGNAL FLASHED ON THE PANEL AND MADE A LOUD WARNING NOISE. SECONDLY, MY STEERING WHEEL RATTLED. LASTLY, THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE QUICKLY. LUCKILY, I SOFTLY HIT THE BRAKES AND IT OVERRODE THE SENSOR. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS STARTING TO DO A FULL STOP ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CARS BEHIND ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AT 45 MPH. NOW I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SENSORS EVERY TIME. I WORRY IT WILL GLITCH AGAIN OR TURN ON AND BRAKE AT A FULL STOP WITHOUT MY CONTROL. THE TURNING SENSORS ALSO ARE MALFUNCTIONING ESPECIALLY AT TURNS. EVEN WHEN YOU ARE IN BETWEEN THE LINES AND GOING SLOW, IT TURNS ON AND SLIDES YOU TOWARDS THE MIDDLE, YELLOW LINE AND TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
