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.
November 2021 vehicle exhibits rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 13,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service center performs intake valve cleaning of carbon buildup and update to software under warranty. Within twelve months, October 2022, vehicle exhibits similar rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 20,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service initiated again.
4 warning lights appeared 10/11/2022 (VSA, Engine, EPS and TPMS) The next day a local mechanic found code PO302. Misfire on cylinder no 2. Recommended take car to dealer for warranty work related to fuel injectors. Honda dealer found same code PO302 on 10/18/22 and instructed car needs a Walnut Blast, $700, not covered by extended powertrain warranty. The Honda Fit is known to have problems with fuel injectors, is at risk for stalling and the repair should be covered under the warranty.
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.
July 21, 2022: Honda Fit would not start while away from home. It was taken to a repair shop for a few days but staff couldn't find a cause. It was able to start later on. August 1, 2022: Honda Fit quit functioning while in rush hour traffic. Breaks locked and I was unable to safely pull over. Had to drive into a hilly area while in neutral in order to stop car. In both incidents there was no prior notification from the car to indicate an issue.

We brought the car in for the recall. The day before the check engine/emissions light came on. The dealer says that the charcoal canister has gas, oil and water in it, and that it is not covered by the warranty, They also will not replace the fuel pump. Our car is garaged, never been in an accident, not driven through deep water. Please help.
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.
When starting vehicle the vehicle will miss fire causing all warning lights to come on the dash board. The first fix included new fuel injectors. It then happened again a few months later, this time a different one misfired. No long term solution found at this point to the problem.

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).
I was very slowly turning into a parking spot with my foot on the brake, nearly stopped, when the car suddenly lunged forward propelling the car into a cement foundation with such force as to deploy the airbag and severely damage the car (it was later declared a total loss by the insurance company). I felt like the car was out of my control, as though it had a mind of its own. My foot was firmly on the brake and not touching the gas pedal. The car was nearly stopped when this happened. It occurred in an underground parking lot. Consumer stated car nearly stopped when crash happened.
Passanger seat area deflated the cushion seat eas deflated also fuel injection problem making a left turn car stalled was almost killed head on and almost hit from behind.
Fuel injector failure at 8770 miles. Originally dealer believed it was a cylinder misfiring and replaced cylinder #2. when the problem reoccurred within the same month, they replaced 1 of the fuel injectors.
I was pulling into a parking spot with my foot on the brake, slowing a stop, when the car suddenly lurched forward. It felt like a sudden jolt which propelled the car over the parking spot curb and into a poll. This caused me to slam my foot even harder on the brake to stop the car. The whole experience was so odd that it felt like the car had a mind of its own. I still have no idea what caused it, but I can say with certainty that nothing was touching the gas as my foot was firmly on the brake. The car was almost completely stopped when it surged forward.
