“Within 5 months both my drivers and passenger side axle have broken on my 2013 Honda FIT. Both times when I went to accelerate after being stopped at a traffic light there was a loud bang and then a clicking noise.”
NHTSA complaint #11338338, filed 2020-07, 104,000 miles“My 2013 Honda FIT caught fire on 14jun2016. The cause of the fire remains unknown, but it should be noted that there have been recalls having to do with fires with this vehicle.

NHTSA complaint #10905055, filed 2016-09, 42,000 miles“On friday february 28 my right axle broke. In half. I had to have it towed and when they put the car up they brought me the broken axle which was all rusted. I consider this very dangerous and everyone has told me this is a very unexpected thing to happen on a 2013 car. I am very disappointed in Honda and very concerned about my safety in this happening. Thankfully, this occurred when I was stationary at a light in my own town. The car seemed to be driving normally and I came to a red light and braked as usual. When the light turned green, I pressed the gas pedal and nothing happens. …”

My 80 year old mother smelled gasoline when her car was parked in the driveway. There was a large nest found as well when Honda inspected the car. A few months later, october 2015, nest and mice droppings were found in pollen filter/glove box area. She brought it back and upon the dealer recommendation, Honda wrapped all of the fuel/vapor/electical wires in rodent tape (which they happily supply). …”
