“I bought my 2018 Honda FIT during march 2018 and on 21st october 2020 with 25k miles on it the check engine light, steering wheel, vsa & tire pressure lights came on. Iwas driving at the time. I yook it to the Honda dealership the very next day and they diagnosed to conclude that the fuel injectors need to be replaced. Thankfully it was still under 3 year bumper to bumper warranty and this work was covered under the same. …”
NHTSA complaint #11366294, filed 2020-10, 25,043 miles“All the warning lights that signal problems with the car came on including the brake system lights (tire pressure, emissions, check engine, etc,) dealer said it was due to a faulty fuel injector despite this is a brand new car with no history of accidents whatsoever.”
NHTSA complaint #11412905, filed 2021-04, 23,000 miles“Failure of fuel injectors at 3 years old and 54k miles. Started car in morning and got warning lights, used obdii to find out there were misfires, took to dealer. Wants more than $2000 to repair.”
NHTSA complaint #11407817, filed 2021-04, 54,000 miles“After parking and returning to vehicle, on start up, multiple check engine lights went off. Code was read as p0303 engine cylinder 3 misfire. Car ~8000 miles, on taking to dealership was told extreme carbon buildup had caused misfires. Car was returned, functioned for a month. Issue reoccurred, fuel injectors, fuel joint pipe set, and fuel pump were replaced. Car is currently functional but it is concerning that fuel injectors have failed on a new vehicle after under 10,000 miles.”
