Fuel gauge/trip meter intermittently inoperative (blank or shows gibberish). When the fuel gauge and trip meter are inoperative, it’s not possible to determine the level of fuel in the tank. In this condition, the vehicle could run out of fuel without warning, causing an engine stall condition. If the engine stalls while the vehicle is being operated on a public highway, this condition increases the likelihood of a collision resulting in injury or death.

The instrument cluster is failing on my vehicle which causes the digital display that shows mileage and gas levels start off blank then as the vehicle warms it starts flickering and causes visibility issues as that is very distracting and could cause seizures to those sensitive to flickering. This also prevents drivers from knowing gas levels which causes drivers to be stranded on the side of the road or have the vehicle just turn off while driving due to no gas. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have videos of the issues as does many others having the same issue. I have videos of the issue but they are not allowing me to upload maybe due to file type. The flickering can cause seizures as well as being distracting which could cause accidents. Not having any way to determine gas level or mileage also is a safety issue as there is no way to know how much fuel is in the vehicle which could cause drivers to be stranded or vehicle to quit working while driving. I have taken my vehicle in to Norm Reeves Honda and Honda of Denton for this issue numerous times and provided them videos of the issues but they stated they couldn’t reproduce it until the extended warranty went out and now the finally are able to reproduce it and confirm it needs replaced. It has been inspected the the Honda dealerships There was no warning it just started happening out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago. The first time it happened I went to back out and a start system error came up and the car turned off and lost all power. I almost crashed into my carport as I could not even steer. I haven’t had that happen again but the display issues continue to happen.

Power steering shuts off while driving randomly. It happened several months ago first. Was able to pull over and restart car and steering returned. But it happened 3 times in one day. We took it in to the dealership. They said that the entire steering column should be replace to fix the issue but they weren’t sure that it would fix the issue. We opted to wait since the steering column was on a back order. They replaced the start stop button that same trip. That seemed to fix the steering issues. We didn’t have any more issues until today when the weather go cold again. The power steering gave out and won’t come back on. 11/17/2022. Now we are faced with a steering column replacement but they aren’t even sure that is the issue. The column is on back order and they can give no indication on how long it would be to get here. Meanwhile we are out a car and no one seems to know what the issue truly is.

Our 2015 honda fit, with only 56,000 miles on it, suddenly stalled right as I tried to accelerate after being stopped at an intersection. I tried restarting the engine multiple times, but after turning over and running for maybe 1 second, the engine would quickly shut off and was completely inoperable. This is an extremely dangerous problem, stalling us in the middle of a busy 8-lane avenue and the car had to be pushed up a hill and off to a side road as there was no shoulder. With my spouse and four month old daughter in the car, it put my family in a great deal of danger. The dealer finally cited a faulty fuel pressure sensor inside the fuel rail. With so many others reporting failures with either the fuel injectors or fuel rail, this is obviously a faulty part(s) and will hopefully be resolved by honda. I could see this happening if the car were 10 years old or more, but on a car with only 55,000 miles and four years old? That defeated the whole purpose of buying a supposedly reliable car from honda.

Car stalls when warmed up. Then will not start until the engine cools down. This fit was made in 8/14 and I believe it should have been included in recall number 15v559. Car hesitated as we tried to enter at a yield with a car approaching causing a serious safety issue for us. Dealer said it was all 4 bad fuel injectors, but that doesn't seem to match the symptoms. I suspect the coils are at fault once they heat up and fail.

Yesterday (9/14/18) while driving home from work four of the malfunction lights came on. I was on city streets in sarasota, fl. The lights were TPMS, emissions, power steering and traction. The attached photo was taken when I arrived home. I made an appointment with the dealer I purchased the vehicle from, venice honda, for this morning 9/15/18. They informed me the fuel injectors needed to be replaced at a cost of $1400. The estimate is attached. I balked at the cost of the repair after they informed me this issue is known by honda and the dealer would not provide me with any financial assistance. I found that honda has known about this problem for about two (2) years but did not issue a recall. This is a safety issue because it happens without warning and the vehicle could stall resulting in an accident. I filed a complaint with honda and would like them to reimburse me for at least 50% of the cost of the repair.

Vehicle has had two episodes of stalling and not starting. The first time it happened was less than six months ago when driving on freeway about 70 MPH car stalled then restarted a few seconds later. We had hoehn honda carlsbad, ca check the car and they replaced the alternator. Not sure that was the real problem. Today the car exhibited symptoms of a low battery. Twice today it stalled after driving for 15-20 minutes and would not restart immediately after parking. I had it jumped both times. I immediately took battery to auto shop who tested it at 100% charge. I put it back in the car and it started right up. When I got home ten minutes later the system again sounded low on power when I tried to start immediately after parking. I checked recalls on 2015 fits and one came up for "plug top ignition coil damage." wondering if that is what we are experiencing. Note that the temperature was 93 degrees today in carlsbad. My wife recalls it being a hot day when it stalled on the freeway. Just went out after sitting for 30 minutes and it started a little weakly, drove it around the block, parked, turned off car, then restarted it. It started more weakly than three minutes prior. All peripheral systems were off (radio, a.c., etc.).
