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 car has approximately 60,000 miles on it and has only ever been used for transport from home to school. I was driving at approximately 20 MPH and the check engine light came on while I was in motion. A couple minutes later, the power steering, traction, and tire pressure light came on all at the same time while I was in motion. My car jerked and I lost control for a brief second. The lights will flash on and off at random times while I'm in motion and is especially terrifying when trying to drive at a highway speed. Many people with 2015 honda fits have had similar issues and I would encourage you to explore this danger. A car that new with relatively low mileage should not be experiencing mechanical issues that put their drivers at risk.

My car began lurching as soon as I pressed the accelerator to leave my driveway. Cars go 50 MPH on my road despite the 35 MPH signs, I was scared I was going to be rear ended and had to yank the car over to the side of the road immediately. I was afraid I was going to be rear ended. What if the wires had been only mostly chewed and they came loose while I was on the parkway??

Sorry, form disappeared, so I am just pasting: car being driven.. Hi honda, another major issue with my brand new car, waited 3.5 hours for them to tell me, sorry! Can't make it happen again! Well if I kill somone in my blind spot -- your company will be in a big lawsuit... So lets work on this! I dislike waiting hours, and the woman next to me still there when I left, exhausted like waiting at a airport for sorry! Can't make it happen! ``` you know those side mirrors? 2015 honda fit top model.. Have a lock on it right so you can't lean on it as the advisor hinted at. ... How you could lean on a button like that - is beyond me! Like these service advisors --- oh! Who don't know who the gov national safety commission is he told me... Nope, don't know them, ??? I only know honda - regarding safety recalls that jerk! Back to the issue - I had that mirror set! I looked and changed lanes !!! Ahhh person in my blind spot ... That I could not even see because the mirror was pointed to the the streeet! Due to long term vibration, hence making me sit for hours? I need an explanation, for this unsafe practice.. Sickens me - but cannot let it "slide" litterally beause when ice on the road soon? That is lives in danger mine, kids, everyone..
