What 2019 Honda Fit owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Multiple engine lights turned on at the same time: brake system warning, ACC problem, Auto High beam problem, Road mitigation system problem, LKAS problem. Lights turned on this past week. UNKNOWN cause. Went to official Honda dealership, oil was changed and given a multi-point inspection. Everything showed as Satisfactory, except for front brakes that showed as May require future attention. Battery test was fine and the sensors were cleaned. However, the engine lights still show. I do not feel safe driving my car, given the red solid warning of the brake system and multiple other problems. I am unable to drive car late a night due to the high beam problem, this all poses a safety concern to me and the other drivers on the road.
Started the car this morning and received 5 warning messages: Auto High-Beam Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Collision Mitigation System Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Car has ~34,000 miles and is in pristine condition. I am guessing this is a failure with the camera system
Component/System Involved: The multi-purpose camera system on my 2019 Honda Fit has malfunctioned, affecting critical safety features, including the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), and Collision Braking Warning System (CBWS). The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk: The malfunction of these systems significantly jeopardizes safety. For example, the ACC failed to maintain appropriate distance from vehicles ahead, the LKAS did not provide necessary steering assistance, and the CBWS failed to detect and warn of potential collisions. These issues increase the risk of accidents, especially during highway or congested traffic driving. Problem Reproduction and Confirmation: The issue was reproduced and confirmed by Swickard Honda of Thousand Oaks during an inspection conducted on August 20, 2024. Inspection Details: The vehicle was inspected by the dealer, who diagnosed the problem and provided a repair quote. The manufacturer has not yet physically inspected the vehicle, nor have insurance representatives or law enforcement been involved. Warning Indicators: Prior to the failure, warning messages appeared on the vehicle’s dashboard, including notifications for ACC, LKAS, and CBWS system failures. These warnings first appeared in early 2024, becoming more frequent and persistent over time. Additional Information: I filed a case with Honda under Case #14932073 requesting a complimentary repair due to the vehicle's age and the nature of the safety system malfunction. Despite explaining the critical safety implications, Honda did not offer a resolution. Given the significant safety risks posed by the malfunction and the lack of resolution from the manufacturer, I urge the federal safety agency to investigate this matter, as it may represent a broader defect impacting other vehicles of the same make and model.
At 50,0341miles, after a routine B1 service (oil change and transmission) the LKAS, Brake system, road departure mitigation system, adaptive cruise control, and auto high beam assist lights all began to turn on every two to three times I turned on my car. These lights will light up on my dash and stay on for the entire drive (with the systems not working). Then they will not be on for a few drives. Then they will go on again. This is an intermittent problem and only happens every other time I start the car (so it appears the camera is “dying” or faulty, not damaged due to negligence.) I have not broken the windshield and have treated this car very well. With this camera breaking, I will lose the safety features included in my car until I can afford to pay the dealership $2000 to fix the camera in the windshield. I will no longer have cruise control (which I can live without), however I am concerned about the loss of the braking system and lane controls. This seems to be a known issue as there are many other Honda owners online dealing with similar issues around the same mileage in their cars with the same years (but many different model cars). Honda had no concern when I reached out to the dealership (who performed the original B1 service), and immediately knew what was wrong when I explained what lights went on, could tell me the cost of a camera replacement, and told me it was nothing they did during the service appointment I had with them. If they are truly having these cameras fail at a high rate at around 40k to 50k miles, it seems to be a larger issue that needs to be observed by the federal safety agency. I am happy to have the system failure confirmed by the federal safety agency. I have not had this confirmed by the dealership as I cannot honestly afford to do so on a teachers salary at this time. (It is $99 to confirm that the camera is breaking, which we already know is occurring due to the series of lights and current numerous reports online from other Honda owners and dealership).
Upon starting the car, all warning lights came on as disabled for the ACC/LKAS system and could not be reset by the driver. Mechanic shop stated that the battery was dying, needed replaced then driven 50 miles for the ACC/LKAS system to reset. A few weeks later there was no change. Independent mechanic stated that the error code "U300049 Multipurpose Camera Unit Internal Electronic Failure" was permanent and would need dealership assistance. Dealership stated that the camera system needed replaced and recalibrated to the tune of $1600. I find it extremely hard to believe this system failed by itself, rather was caused by bad design as this was a battery that needed replaced. Safety is at risk as the ACC/LKAS and automatic emergency braking systems were permanently disabled on the vehicle and cannot be used.
Connected my cellphone and think a hacker is affecting auto systems: alternator not consistently charging (new battery & alternator checked good), lane assist turns off in curves & when wipers on, navigation system frozen on test screen (tried resetting pressing three buttons aslearned on youtube), display of % to next oil change frozen at 70%. Hoping there software upgrades.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving at approximately 55 MPH, the "Lane Departure" warning light illuminated, and the vehicle independently steered to the left. The contact used force to jerk the steering wheel to the right. The contact stated that the Lane Departure warning light turned off once the vehicle was in a lane. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled intermittently. The contact stated that she had been left several times stranded on the road and required Roadside Assistance. The contact stated that Roadside Assistance was able to jumpstart the vehicle. The contact stated that she had the battery replaced three times. The contact stated that the failure was ongoing. Additionally, the Forward Collision Avoidance system activated erroneously. The contact stated that the brake warning would illuminate, and the vehicle would slow down independently with no vehicle or object in front of the vehicle. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where the dealer reset the warning lights on the instrument cluster. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 19,000.
This vehicle has not been inspected by dealership, nor insurance. Suddenly all warning lamps(LKAP, RDMP, CMSP, ABP with the Break System) went on. Im just affraid of an accident that could be caused by the failure of the systems. Lamps have been on for at least 4 months. It also had a recall for the fuel system, it was supposed to been taken care at a dealership but now the engine lamp is on as well with fuel emissions system. Yes, this vehicle is available to be inspected at any time. Im just don't feel safe driving it.
breaks, control of vehicle staying in lane -lane departure failure, door locks, auto remote failure, multiple warning lights system failures on dash, vehicle lights. car has gone off road, right on highway (right lane) and left on highway to middle lane, almost hit other vehicle. Dealer put new batteries in remote (second new set) low battery alert 2 hours later, remote failure. passed diagnostic scan. (southern honda, Savannah GA) Since then the info-system I believe to be hacked. I found vin number and other "computer" listings in vehicle including wi-fi enable, phone numbers not belonging to me, web sites, etc, I was able to remove and I reset to factory settings twice. The Honda link has now activated itself, selections "grayed out" (I always used apple/car play honda link was never used. My I phone was then hacked, hackers have complete control remotely over the phone live time, able to see screen and make changes. I am now in atlanta, I contacted dealership here where the vehicle was purchased. I also asked for the Honda Link to be turned off and if needed to please turn off/disconnect the system for safety if they are unable to remove/install "non hacking software?". Was told Honda link was not activtated, and I would be responsible for repair charges "if determined not covered under my warranty. Auto is not safe to drive, I do not have finances to pay for repairs, was unable to leave the car. Informed dealership that I looked up Honda link and activation/deactivation requires app/account which I never had nor do I know how to do. Technician indicated he did not know what I was talking about. I need assistance. I cannot receive e-mail hackers intercept
