My check engine light came on, but shut off by the time I was able to see a repair shop. I needed a smog, but they decided to check my car first to see why the light came on and went away. It had to do with the fuel injector/catalytic converter. He wanted me to drive it a bit and come back to see if it would go away. It did not, even though my lights remained off and the car was operating fine. Had I not needed the smog check, I would have canceled the appointment and not known. After doing research, it is common for fuel injectors on my car to fail due to a faulty part. Honda issued an extended warranty, but even after calling for more information, they were unhelpful. I ended up paying $3,000 to resolve this. My car is a 2015 and just hit 85k miles. Honda should be informing owners of this issue.
Before I parked, all was fine and the car felt safe, two hours later, I start the car and it has four warning lights on. Now I don't have Hill Start Assist and the car feels like it might 'go out' on me, I think something will keep it from running soon. About two weeks prior, even with keys in the car and with a full battery in both the keys and car, the car doesn't start with the first push of the 'engine start' button (maybe there is a connection here). O'Reilly helped me check the codes, and it states that I should replace the Ignition Coil, as well as the Throttle Body and it is giving the code, P0303: Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. After some research online, it seems like the Fuel Injectors might need to be replaced as the ones that come with Honda tend to malfunction. Perhaps the TSBs (www.truedelta.com/Honda-Fit-tsbs-99,2015) should be put into consideration. I believe this is what has caused the Hill Start Assist to stop working which further makes me feel like the vehicle is unsafe to drive for me and for others. We are both put at risk because I am not sure what will happen with it next. I live where there are a lot of hills, Hill Start Assist was a huge factor as to why I thought this car would be safe to drive here. I have yet to visit a Dealer or Independent Service Center. The Vehicle has been inspected by O'Reilly's Code Scanner only and myself. In the attached pictures, one is showing the warning lights that now come on at the start of the car, and the other is showing about a minute later how another light turns on.
Car loses power when accelerating below 20 mph. Engine still on but when stepping on gas pedal no acceleration. Pedal is firm but no gas. Looks like iam pushing air. I have to lift my foot off and accelerate again in order to keep the car going. Veryscary and dangerous when changing lanes. Also, another issue... paint comming off on a lot of locations. Cotacted the local dealer and since I was not the original owner they wont fix it. Very dispoinnted with Honda loast car to buy as Honda. Poor customer service.
My 2015 Honda Fit out of nowhere won't start and is flashing an electrical system issue. A few weeks before this the electrical system stopped showing how much gas was in the car, how many miles etc. That whole electrical system looked really garbled then goes dark. My car wont start. And even after I fix it I cant drive around not knowing how much gas is in the car.

Electronic cluster failure affecting fuel gauge and engine temperature display. This can cause an accident if the vehicle runs out of fuel or engine overheats. After looking into this, it's a major issue affecting thousands of Honda Fit owners and a recall should be put in place for this.
Vehicle intstrument lcd where it displays fuel gauge, odometer trip meter is going out intermenttly. Vehicle is too risky to drive if you dont if you dont how much fuel you have left.
Four warning lights came on while driving. I could hear and feel a cylinder misfire. Dealer service diagnosed fuel injector failure and replaced the injectors and related parts. Car driven only 50K miles and well maintained.
I was driving 75mph on the highway, under cruise control. I accelerated to pass a truck. The engine hesitated. A tire pressure monitoring system, vehichle stabbilty assist, electrical power steering and a flashing check engine light, came on. The car began slowing against my inputs to 45mph (limp mode) on a busy highway many miles from anywhere. I was able to reset the code by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it. This got me a few more miles, the it (limp mode) happened again. I disconnect/reconnect battery once more and this gets me 35 more miles and to the nearest town. Taking it to a shop, they identify the issue as the fuel injectors by researching online. It turns out this is fairly common on this year (2015) of Honda Fit, and still seems to persist despite a redesign of the injectors from Honda. The repair was horribly expensive ($1,000 for parts from Honda), both for a cheap and cheerful car, as well as what appears to be very ordinary solenoid fuel injectors. I'm very surprised that this know issue by Honda hasn't spawned a recall, but either way, I'm very disappointed in this car.
2 huge issues when I bought my car. I bought it used with 45K miles on it and by 60,000 miles I needed the entire fuel rail replaced due to lurching on the highway and roads. Honda paid for it after a lengthy argument between dealerships. Now, a year later, I am continually having problems with the no-ignition keys. When I first got the car, it told me "low key battery", "no key" or just wouldnt register them. I replaced both the car battery and the key batteries. The dealership told me it was an issue with the PCM module. They said they fixed it and less than a.month later the same problem was happening. Now they are telling me it may just be the batteries in the keys. Today I could not start my car. Even with the key in the car, and even pushing it right up to the ignition button which usually works.
My check engine light has been coming on a lot recently. Took it to a dealer in lacrosse wi. Today to have it checked and they said that all the fuel injectors need replaced. I asked if it could still safely be driven. They said that it could become disabled, stranding me wherever it happens. I don't feel safe driving the car after what I was told by the dealer today. I have done some researcing of the faulty injector problem and it seems to be an issue that Honda has known about for a long time and their only solution is over a $1700 replacement cost.
My 2015 Honda Fit LX with only 22,000 miles has 4 system lights all came on at once ' TPMS, check engine, electric power steering (eps), vehicle stability assist (vsa). The mechanic recommended that all 4 fuel injectors along with fuel pipes will need to be replaced after ruling out ignition coils and spark plugs as potential issues. He stated that there are known issues with direct fuel injectors with Honda of this model year. A search on the internet and NHTSA website confirmed this is known issue of this model year Honda as reported by many Honda owners with similar problems. The estimate cost to replace all fuel injectors is $1700-2000. This is a known defective design by Honda but they will not recall or cover the repair.
Attempt to start car, will not start - has new battery, new plugs, gas; it's a manual - check engine light has been on for about 6 months - intermittent starting problems. Today - tried to start, nothing. Has been diagnosed with engine light - P 105 - 1st fuel injector not functioning properly, running lean. Disgusting - first Honda in 4 that I have owned that is broken. This is way beyond simple wear and tear. 5 year old car should start - every time.
I had all emergency lights come on while driving my properly maintained 2015 Honda Fit which currently had 26,000 miles. I immediately took the car to the nearest Honda dealership and was told there was a code P0301 misfire on cylinder 1. I was told that all fuel injectors and joint pipe would need to be replaced. I was also told I needed to upgade the pgm-F! software as well as adjust engine valves. Despite the powertrain warranty still being in effect, I was told this would not be a warranty covered service.
Driving Honda Fit with approximately 65,000 miles. No prior issues with regular maintenance being done on it. All dashboard warning lights (check engine, tps, traction control sensor and steering wheel with exclamation mark) went on in the vehicle while driving on a city street to work. Vehicle did not operate well and did not feel safe drive. Took to local Honda mechanic and was diagnosed with a P0420 cylinder misfire code. Was told this was a known issue with this model of Honda and have found multiple reports online as such. Was told my engine could be damaged and it is unsafe to drive. Called Honda dealership and was told them would not cover it and was out of warranty.
P0303 misfire cylinder 4; checked live data, all cylinders misfiring. Recommended to replace all fuel injectors and fuel pipe due to "known issues with direct fuel injectors" as stated by Honda dealership. Car idles roughly. Car lost power while accelerating to highway speeds, causing stall on highway. Additional engine codes indicate fuel problems - P2906 and P0172. Replacement of damaged ignition coils and sparks plugs also required.
My 2015 Honda Fit ex started experiencing technical issues at 25K miles. My alternator was replaced and now at 45K miles I need the fuel injectors replaced. The Honda dealership is asking for $2300 to fix it. Non-powertrain warranty has expired
A couple of days ago I went to turn my car on, while stationary the dashboard lights lit up out of nowhere.the TPMS sensor began flashing, the check engine light came on, along with the eps & vsa lights. The car just got to 68K miles. I went to get my car scanned and the result was a misfire on cylinder 4. after doing more research, I found that many other cars (of this exact model) had this same issue & have been recalled, but mine hasn't. I'm worried it may become a bigger issue to my safety.
