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.

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.

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.. 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. NHTSA 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.

My car suddenly started to shimmer and have a fluctuation in power as I was driving on the interstate at 60 mph. I had to move over two lanes to park on the shoulder and turn off the engine. The following warning lights were on: Malfunction; traction control; power steering and the tire pressure light was blinking nonstop (it was on solid prior to the incident). I was not safe on the shoulder with cars flying by on the interstate. I pressed the start button and after a slight hesitation, the car started. I was able to drive a half mile on the shoulder and get off the interstate so I was in a safer location. The car's power was inconsistent as I drove this half mile. All the warming lights remained on. I had the car towed to the Honda dealer's shop. The Honda shop was able to replicate the same problem and warning lights that I reported. They said the high pressure fuel pump had failed and replaced it. They did not provide any explanation what the part failed. The car only has 12,000 miles on it and has had all the scheduled service and recalls addressed, now that the high pressure fuel pump has been replaced the car runs normal again. Exactly two weeks before this incident, the same Honda dealer shop changed my oil & filter and performed the scheduled maintenance checks and they replaced the plug top ignition coil per a safety recall. I have wondered if there could be a relationship between the failure of the high pressure fuel pump and the dealer shop having replaced the plug top ignition coil. I have the Honda dealer paperwork supporting my reports. The car's shimmering and loss of power on the interstate put me in serious danger of a car accident.

Unintended and sudden acceleration. November 2015 the car was making a right hand turn into a parking space, while pressing the brake the car suddenly accelerated the brakes did not work, the car traveled about 70 feet before stopping. Took it to tom wood Honda all they checked was the brakes and said it was fine. Update: February 2016 making a right hand turn into a parking space at a panera bread gently tapped the brakes the car accelerated and went thru the door at panera bread. Tom wood Honda checked the brakes says its fine and released it to the collision center. I am making lease payments on this car but when it's repaired it is staying at the lot. It accelerates on it's own and is going to kill someone. I cannot allow anyone in my family to drive it. I also cannot afford insurance wise to drive a car I know accelerates when it decides to.
