2019 Honda Fit owner complaints

The auto-lock fails intermittently after exiting the fit with the key fob on my person, engine off, all doors shut, leaving the car's contents insecure and at risk of theft. The dealer and Honda american after 3 months don't know how to fix it. The concern is further escalated when concealing legal weapons in the vehicle.

Right side dashboard display showing *gas gauge, time, *temperature, *odometer, trip mileage, gas efficiency, etc. usually displays blank and may occasionally reappear with certain temperatures briefly. Lack of this information could cause me to run out of gas or be unprepared for freezing road temperatures. As I am a single, mobility-limited, elderly woman, this is a huge safety problem. Available for inspection. Dealer acknowledges problem is common for Honda Fits. Advised it will cost several hundred to fix, which is not feasible as I am on social security. Problem appeared around 18 months after purchasing new. No repairs have been made.

The fuel gauge and odometer digital display goes blank, when it comes back on it is showing scrambled numbers and letters. It doesn't do it all the time however it is getting more frequent.

Recall 23V-858 issued nearly 1 year ago. Honda notified that parts were available to those not currently experiencing direct fuel pump issues in September of 2024. Dealership was contacted in early October, late October, and mid-November but repeatedly claims that parts are not available. Although I was added to a waitlist, no indication of parts availability to remedy the recall has been provided.

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 Thous

Car is under recall to replace fuel pump assembly. The service department of the first dealership I called, castle Honda in morton grove, il, told me they would need to inspect the car first before ordering the part and would only replace it if it was damaged. I argued that that was not what the recall notice said they would do, but the rep insisted they would need to inspect the car and it might not need repair. I called a second dealership and they immediately scheduled an appointment for the repair. (my complaint is with the castle Honda dealership, not with american Honda).

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while entering the driveway while idling, the accelerator pedal was not depressed when the vehicle accelerated inadvertently. The brake pedal was then depressed but failed to respond. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a building, a hose, and a palm tree where it came to a stop. The vehicle remained at the scene of the crash. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact sustained injuries to both knees and medical attention was required. A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Dear NHTSA, I am submitting a complaint regarding unsafe vehicle service practices by Indy Honda, located in Indianapolis, Indiana. On December 8, 2023, I had my 2019 Honda Fit serviced at their dealership, including an oil change. On [XXX], while traveling on the interstate in Kentucky, my vehicle suddenly experienced a catastrophic engine failure. The vehicle’s lights illuminated without warning, followed by loud popping sounds, and it began smoking. As I slowed down to pull over to the side of the road, the car swerved and stalled. After investigation by Fidelity Warranty and a certified Honda dealership, it was determined that the engine failure was caused by an improperly tightened drain plug and crush washer, leading to a complete loss of engine lubrication. Despite providing subs

Engine light came on and it was brought to the dealership and I was told all fuel injectors need to be replaced and it wouldn't be under warranty. The car has 65,000 miles on which is just over warranty, but I should still not have had to replace these yet. There have been other problems with the fuel system with the fuel pump recall and they have extended the warranty on fuel injectors in other Honda vehicles, which leads me to believe this is a greater problem than just my car and it should still be covered by Honda.

Four dashboard warning signs (Check Engine Light, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Vehicle Stability Assist System, Electric Power Steering) appeared all at once suddenly. I had the vehicle towed to my local Honda dealership. They gave me a diagnostic code of P0304 and insisted that the repair did not fall under my car's active warranty. I searched the web and found it is a common problem in Honda Fits. Some 2019 Honda Fits have an extended warranty for fuel injection replacement, but it is not applicable to my car for an unknown reason. Relevant service bulletins: 23-042 and 21-007.

While driving the emission system problem warning came up on my dash with the check engine light. After this happened it became incredibly hard to accelerate the engine. I was driving on the freeway and attempting to merge putting my life and my families at risk because the engine was trying to accelerate but sputtering and stopping for a moment instead. It hasn’t been inspected by police, but went to dealer and got code P219A and was told this was a faulty fuel injector. This was the first time this had happened and no other warning lights came on before the emission system problem that popped up on the dash.

Fuel Gauge Cluster fails in weather sometimes outside of weather conditions and will glitch out causing an inability to see mileage and fuel amount.

Digital Dash - past 3 years occurring more, it will blank out, information is distorted can’t read digits or anything for a long weird of time. Unable to detect fuel levels, miles, rest function

The dashboard display fuel gauge is back lit but won’t actually work.

I have a 2019 Honda Fit Sport. Within the last year, the instrument panel with all notifications regarding the vehicle, such as the fuel level, check engine light, low tire pressure light, low oil pressure, and any notifications regarding the braking systems, began flickering intermittantly. Now the instrument panel is completely blank. This has been confirmed by the Capital Honda in Lansing, Michigan when I took the vehicle in for service. This appears to be a common issue as I found numerous forums online that indicate that this is an issue with multiple years of the Honda Fit, but other Honda models as well. This is a safety issue because if any of these notifications should be on but cannot display because of a faulty instrument panel, I would never know. The car could run out of gas,

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that on two separate occasions, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The first time, the contact stated that while driving at a low rate of speed, the vehicle independently lurched forward without warning before the vehicle corrected itself and resumed normal operation.

A year later while the contact's husband had come to a complete stop at a stop sign; the vehicle's engine began to rev while making a right turn. The vehicle then independently accelerated as the contact's husband attempted to avoid hitting a barrier in the middle of a traffic circle. The contact's husband steered the vehicle off the road

White paint peeling off car. Honda has a service for this but not the 2019 model year. This is a known issue with their white paint and should be corrected to include this year. Several forums are posting about the same issue where the paint jut fly's off.
