“I purchased my 2015 Honda FIT ex-l 9 months ago and the splash shield over the lower engine had to be zip tied by the dealership twice. It ended up detaching a third time and was broken and dragging enough to start smelling like burnt rubber while on the highway. This is a safety hazard and this part should have been recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11074659, filed 2018-02, 55,000 miles“On 7/27/2017 my car was parked in the driveway and had not been driven since 9pm on 7/26. It spontaneously combusted. When it was noticed there were only flames coming from under the hood. It had been in the shop on 7/20/2017 for a right front strut replacement. All upkeep had been taken care of, and no modifications have ever been made. The car only had 46,000 miles on it. I have”
NHTSA complaint #11012968, filed 2017-08, 46,000 miles“I have owned this car for three years, it has 81,166 miles on it and is having so many problems. The engine burns through oil faster than it should and has cause permanent damage. I always took it in to the dealership for oil changes and always brought it in when the oil life was at roughly 20%. I constantly checked the oil level and it was always low even after a recent fill up but had no leakage. I now need a new engine which will cost roughly $5000 including labor maybe more. …”
NHTSA complaint #11363740, filed 2020-10, 81,166 miles“The start/off button turns the car off while it is being driven. The car should have to be in park to turn off the engine. Twice now I've accidentally turned my car off while driving by pressing the start/off button instead of the emergency flashers. Once the car turns off, it won't turn back on unless it's in park. Since I was only going 30 MPH and was in the right lane, I was able to get the car off the road. In a tense situation, I'm afraid I'll hit the wrong button again when driving on the freeway at a high speed, which would be extremely dangerous.”
NHTSA complaint #10765070, filed 2015-09, 300 miles“The skid plate broke. I took it in the said I hit something like a pot hole, but I hit nothing. I took a look under their and it was only being held up by 4 screws. Their was no treading torn holes. It was not properly installed. I tried to get them to replace it for free, due to the manufactures fault, they wouldn't. I took it off myself, because it was hanging to one said. If they would put it on correctly it wouldn't have came lose. They tried to get tough with me at dealer ship and talk down to me. So much for the helpful Honda dealers at valley hi Honda.”
