2009 Honda Fit Other or unknown Problems

“The starter in all of these vehicles goes bad very fast. Stating with an odd sound of metal to metal on cold starts (due to the starter not retracting fast enough) 5 people that live near me have all had the same problem my car is now doing it again with a 3 year old replacement denso oem Honda starter, Honda needs to fix this...”

“Driving into a busy intersection and the right drive axle broke. Lucky me and my child were not injured. We had been on the highway right before this and thankful it didn't cause a serious crash. I started to accelerate from a stop sign to take a left onto a busy road. My car revved and then we heard a loud bang and felt like something dropped. Then the car would run but would not work (no fwd,reverse, etc)”

“On 10/3/2018, my front axle snapped while I was driving straight. I was not in an accident. There was no inciting incident. At carx in peoria, il, they indicated that in the center, there is a rubber seal which may have been contaminated by water (not by driver; mfr problem). At that time, it cost me $362 to have it repaired. Today, 10/1/2020, my front axle snapped again as I was turning right while driving. I was not in an accident. I had my car towed to carx. They have determined that, again, my front axle has snapped. I'll be up for hundreds of dollars worth of repairs. …”

“Car stalls and dies after initial start. Sometimes even with warming car up for 5-10 minutes. Outdoor temperature can be 90 degrees and this still happens. If I start my car, let it run for 5 minutes, put it in drive, the minute I begin to slow for a stop sign or simply for an approaching stop or intersection my car will shudder and die. There is no check engine light and two mechanics have found no codes soft or hard to shed any light on why this is happening. I have already paid $300 for a valve adjustment, replaced spark plugs and I'm still having the issue.”

“On the evening of march 23, 2012, at approximately 6:30 pm, I was driving my FIT on the pa. Turnpike. I suddenly heard a thud from under the engine, which sounded as though a stone had ricocheted off the road surface onto the underside of the chassis. I immediately noticed voluminous grey smoke issuing from the tailpipe. As I was less than one quarter mile from an exit, I took it and quickly pulled over, shut off the ignition, and jumped out. I noticed a large, growing puddle of oil directly beneath the engine. …”
