“We have owned the 2019 FIT for just over a year now. It was a joy to drive when we first got it.. A few months ago it started drifting side to side.. Most noticeable at highway speeds. It is almost impossible to keep it tracking straight on the highway anymore. It starts to go left, and just a slight steer to right overcorrects and then it's going too far to the right, then again back to the left. I am constantly bouncing between the lane going down the highway. Also the lane assist won't keep the car centered anymore either. It used to work great! …”

NHTSA complaint #11348683, filed 2020-08, 20,000 miles

“I was driving on a two way highway at 55 MPH with no cars in front of me in my lane. An incoming car in the other lane going about 55 or more MPH was driving in the other lane. As the car got closer to my car and in their lane, the Honda FIT sensors went off. First, the brake signal flashed on the panel and made a loud warning noise. Secondly, my steering wheel rattled. Lastly, the car started to brake quickly. Luckily, I softly hit the brakes and it overrode the sensor. It felt like it was starting to do a full stop on the highway with cars behind me. …”
