My daughter's 2011 Honda Fit left her on the side of the road with a check engine light, weird noise and inability to go faster then 10 MPH. The car was towed to the local Honda Dealership - Diamond Honda of Glendale. She was charged $120 for diagnostics which showed a misfire of cylinder number 2. The spark plug had come out of the cylinder head and there was damage to the spark plug threads in the cylinder head. They then told her it would cost her $2000 for further inspection and then they would be able to tell her the cost of any additional repairs. She then had her vehicle towed to a different auto repair shop and had a Helicoil inserted in the cylinder head and the spark plug replaced for $292.44. So far the car has worked fine. So much for Honda reliability.
