2015 Honda Fit fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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 the federal safety agency 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 hondas 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.
Fuel injection system failure at 47,000 requiring all four injectors needing replacement.
In colder weather, gas gauge does not work. When car warms up comes back on. However, could take up to ten minutes. When driving, could run out of gas without knowing.
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.
I could've died!! Driving down the interstate all of sudden all the warning lights flashed & my car wouldn't go. Was told it was catalytic converter & fuel injectors needed to be replaced. $2900. Had them replaced & same day I got my car back no check engine came on, was driving down the interstate & just stopped going. I couldn't give it gas & the rpms revved up, cars flying past me trying to make it to the shoulder! It was terrifying!!! Read there have been a lot of issues with the fuel injectors, but honda making customers pay for it. I bought the fit so I could have a reliable commute & now I don't feel safe at all.
Purchased car new from dealer 7/2015. In 2/2018 all warning lights came on while driving. Honda replaced the fuel injectors. Same issue again in 4/2018 & honda replaced injectors again. Service rep (richfield- bloomington honda) told us they were seeing this problem in fits that were low mileage & "not driven much." rep could not tell us how much driving would be "enough" or how to avoid future problems. 4/2019 same problem --all warning lights came on while driving again & this time honda replaced the cylinder head. Service director told us that, while the car is "currently fixed," he "sees no reason this problem won't continue to happen" bc we don't drive much. He stated that 2015 fit has direct injection technology & needs to be driven more at high speeds to burn off carbon, but he acknowledged that he didn't "know how much was enough & it's not in the owner's manual." he stated "you'll have this problem again next winter or spring." I asked the service director what the risks are driving when the injectors & engine have build-up & he said the "car can seize up if it gets bad--it has to be cleaned off." I called honda customer service (manufacturer, not dealer) & explained this and that they have a service director telling me the problem will happen again. Honda refused to take a report "because the car is operating right now." all these repairs have been under warranty; these repairs are thousands of dollars. This is not what we want or expect from a new vehicle. Honda will not make this right.
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.
Car had a little over 48,000 miles on it. Check engine light came on. Took it to dealership, they said the fuel injectors all needed to be replaced. The vehicle is under a service bulletin on faulty fuel injectors for all VIN's of the honda fit 2015, and the ntsb number for that is: a16-034. But the dealership said there was nothing they could do to help cover the costs. Looking at $1800 in repairs for an issues that shouldn't be happening this early in the life of the car. Unbelievable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda fit. While driving approximately 20 MPH, the tire pressure monitoring system, electric power steering, check engine, and stability control indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to lujack honda (3707 n harrison st, davenport, ia 52806) where it was diagnosed that the fuel injectors failed and needed to be changed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 09535823. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 32,161.
Vehicle has 48,000 miles. Check engine light came on, took it into dealership for diagnosis. All four fuel injectors needed to be replaced due to gumming (not due to quality of fuel). The vehicle received a safety recall servicing in 2016 that could affect the fuel injectors, but no issues were recorded by the dealership. The vehicle is under a service bulletin on faulty fuel injectors for all VIN's of the honda fit 2015, and the ntsb number for that is: a16-034. Both service techs and customer service at honda found the issue to be abnormal especially because the issue effected all four injectors, not just one.
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.
My vehicle began running roughly and all the dash lights came on. I was told there is a misfire in one of the cylinders and this could be an extremely expensive repair. My vehicle has 48000 miles on it and this shouldn't happen. From doing some online research, this seems to be a recurring complaint by several people.
2015 honda fit. Consumer writes in regards to defective fuel/propulsion system. *ld consumer sent additional correspondence. *ld the consumer stated the manufacturer was notified, but did not offer any assistance.*js the consumer stated the vehicle was repaired. The fuel injector and fuel pipe was replaced. The consumer requested to be reimbursed.
After only 48,000 miles I had to replace the fuel injector set, part # 16010-5r1-315 and the fuel pipe set, part # 16012-5r1-315 for a total cost (including labor) of $1,760.00.. Dealer found check engine code p0171 - fuel system too lean. The check engine code appeared when the vehicle was stationary and in motion.
Car is stumbling on acceleration and riding ruff. Dealer states all injectors need to be replaced with a new style injector (part number 16010-5r1-315). One injector going bad I can understand but all 4 injector in 50,000 miles and replaced with a new style injector, this is a defect.
While parking the car in the parking space, it suddenly self-accelerated, jumped the curb, and crashed into the wall in front of the car resulting in injuries to both the driver (2 fractured neck vertebrae, 3 fractured ribs on right side, and broken left foot) and passenger (laceration to right hand and bruised ribs on left side). The acceleration was too fast for either the driver or passenger to respond. Airbags did not deploy, and the car was considered a total loss due to the extensive damage to the front end.
At times the car will stall when going around a corner. It seems like the fuel injection stalls out temporarily. I have taken the car to venice honda in florida twice. I was informed that nothing more can be done. I have the recall letter from honda. The federal safety agency recall 15v‑559. When I wrote to american honda motor company in california they replied that they need lots more info before they can reimburse me. Apparently whoever wrote this does not know that customers do not have to pay anything on a safety recall. I don't want money, I want the problem fixed before I get hit from behind. It mostly stalls in city traffic making a turn and sometimes taking off from a stop light.
