2015 Honda Fit Fuel System Problems

My check engine light came on, but shut off by the time I was able to see a repair shop. I needed a smog, but they decided to check my car first to see why the light came on and went away. It had to do with the fuel injector/catalytic converter. He wanted me to drive it a bit and come back to see if it would go away. It did not, even though my lights remained off and the car was operating fine. Had I not needed the smog check, I would have canceled the appointment and not known. After doing research, it is common for fuel injectors on my car to fail due to a faulty part. Honda issued an extended warranty, but even after calling for more information, they were unhelpful. I ended up paying $3,000 to resolve this. My car is a 2015 and just hit 85k miles. Honda should be informing owners of this issue.

Fuel gauge display is blinking after that few times then it goes completely blank.

Fuel injector issue.

FOUR WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. I COULD HEAR AND FEEL A CYLINDER MISFIRE. DEALER SERVICE DIAGNOSED FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE AND REPLACED THE INJECTORS AND RELATED PARTS. CAR DRIVEN ONLY 50K MILES AND WELL MAINTAINED.

I WAS DRIVING 75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, UNDER CRUISE CONTROL. I ACCELERATED TO PASS A TRUCK. THE ENGINE HESITATED. A TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, VEHICHLE STABBILTY ASSIST, ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CAME ON. THE CAR BEGAN SLOWING AGAINST MY INPUTS TO 45MPH (LIMP MODE) ON A BUSY HIGHWAY MANY MILES FROM ANYWHERE. I WAS ABLE TO RESET THE CODE BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY AND RECONNECTING IT. THIS GOT ME A FEW MORE MILES, THE IT (LIMP MODE) HAPPENED AGAIN. I DISCONNECT/RECONNECT BATTERY ONCE MORE AND THIS GETS ME 35 MORE MILES AND TO THE NEAREST TOWN. TAKING IT TO A SHOP, THEY IDENTIFY THE ISSUE AS THE FUEL INJECTORS BY RESEARCHING ONLINE. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS FAIRLY COMMON ON THIS YEAR (2015) OF HONDA FIT, AND STILL SEEMS TO PERSIST DESPITE A REDESIGN OF THE INJECTORS FROM HONDA. THE REPAIR WAS HORRIBLY EXPENSIVE ($1,000 FOR PARTS FROM HONDA), BOTH FOR A CHEAP AND CHEERFUL CAR, AS WELL AS WHAT APPEARS TO BE VERY ORDINARY SOLENOID FUEL INJECTORS. I'M VERY SURPRISED THAT THIS KNOW ISSUE BY HONDA HASN'T SPAWNED A RECALL, BUT EITHER WAY, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CAR.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON A LOT RECENTLY. TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN LACROSSE WI. TODAY TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY SAID THAT ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS NEED REPLACED. I ASKED IF IT COULD STILL SAFELY BE DRIVEN. THEY SAID THAT IT COULD BECOME DISABLED, STRANDING ME WHEREVER IT HAPPENS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AFTER WHAT I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER TODAY. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCING OF THE FAULTY INJECTOR PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME AND THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS OVER A $1700 REPLACEMENT COST.

ATTEMPT TO START CAR, WILL NOT START - HAS NEW BATTERY, NEW PLUGS, GAS; IT'S A MANUAL - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS - INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS. TODAY - TRIED TO START, NOTHING. HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE LIGHT - P 105 - 1ST FUEL INJECTOR NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, RUNNING LEAN. DISGUSTING - FIRST HONDA IN 4 THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT IS BROKEN. THIS IS WAY BEYOND SIMPLE WEAR AND TEAR. 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD START - EVERY TIME. *TR

DRIVING HONDA FIT WITH APPROXIMATELY 65,000 MILES. NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE BEING DONE ON IT. ALL DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE, TPS, TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR AND STEERING WHEEL WITH EXCLAMATION MARK) WENT ON IN THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET TO WORK. VEHICLE DID NOT OPERATE WELL AND DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVE. TOOK TO LOCAL HONDA MECHANIC AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A P0420 CYLINDER MISFIRE CODE. WAS TOLD THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF HONDAS AND HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS ONLINE AS SUCH. WAS TOLD MY ENGINE COULD BE DAMAGED AND IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEM WOULD NOT COVER IT AND WAS OUT OF WARRANTY.

MY 2015 HONDA FIT EX STARTED EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL ISSUES AT 25K MILES. MY ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED AND NOW AT 45K MILES I NEED THE FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IS ASKING FOR $2300 TO FIX IT. NON-POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED

I HAD ALL EMERGENCY LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING MY PROPERLY MAINTAINED 2015 HONDA FIT WHICH CURRENTLY HAD 26,000 MILES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A CODE P0301 MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 1. I WAS TOLD THAT ALL FUEL INJECTORS AND JOINT PIPE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD I NEEDED TO UPGADE THE PGM-F! SOFTWARE AS WELL AS ADJUST ENGINE VALVES. DESPITE THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY STILL BEING IN EFFECT, I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD NOT BE A WARRANTY COVERED SERVICE.

FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE AT 47,000 REQUIRING ALL FOUR INJECTORS NEEDING REPLACEMENT.

OUR 2015 HONDA FIT, WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT, SUDDENLY STALLED RIGHT AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION. I TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT AFTER TURNING OVER AND RUNNING FOR MAYBE 1 SECOND, THE ENGINE WOULD QUICKLY SHUT OFF AND WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, STALLING US IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY 8-LANE AVENUE AND THE CAR HAD TO BE PUSHED UP A HILL AND OFF TO A SIDE ROAD AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. WITH MY SPOUSE AND FOUR MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR, IT PUT MY FAMILY IN A GREAT DEAL OF DANGER. THE DEALER FINALLY CITED A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE THE FUEL RAIL. WITH SO MANY OTHERS REPORTING FAILURES WITH EITHER THE FUEL INJECTORS OR FUEL RAIL, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART(S) AND WILL HOPEFULLY BE RESOLVED BY HONDA. I COULD SEE THIS HAPPENING IF THE CAR WERE 10 YEARS OLD OR MORE, BUT ON A CAR WITH ONLY 55,000 MILES AND FOUR YEARS OLD? THAT DEFEATED THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF BUYING A SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE CAR FROM HONDA.

CAR STALLS WHEN WARMED UP. THEN WILL NOT START UNTIL THE ENGINE COOLS DOWN. THIS FIT WAS MADE IN 8/14 AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL NUMBER 15V559. CAR HESITATED AS WE TRIED TO ENTER AT A YIELD WITH A CAR APPROACHING CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR US. DEALER SAID IT WAS ALL 4 BAD FUEL INJECTORS, BUT THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATCH THE SYMPTOMS. I SUSPECT THE COILS ARE AT FAULT ONCE THEY HEAT UP AND FAIL.

CAR HAD A LITTLE OVER 48,000 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID THE FUEL INJECTORS ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A SERVICE BULLETIN ON FAULTY FUEL INJECTORS FOR ALL VIN'S OF THE HONDA FIT 2015, AND THE NTSB NUMBER FOR THAT IS: A16-034. BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP COVER THE COSTS. LOOKING AT $1800 IN REPAIRS FOR AN ISSUES THAT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING THIS EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. UNBELIEVABLE.

YESTERDAY (9/14/18) WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK FOUR OF THE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ON CITY STREETS IN SARASOTA, FL. THE LIGHTS WERE TPMS, EMISSIONS, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION. THE ATTACHED PHOTO WAS TAKEN WHEN I ARRIVED HOME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM, VENICE HONDA, FOR THIS MORNING 9/15/18. THEY INFORMED ME THE FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1400. THE ESTIMATE IS ATTACHED. I BALKED AT THE COST OF THE REPAIR AFTER THEY INFORMED ME THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY HONDA AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. I FOUND THAT HONDA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT TWO (2) YEARS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND THE VEHICLE COULD STALL RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA AND WOULD LIKE THEM TO REIMBURSE ME FOR AT LEAST 50% OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR.

2015 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM. *LD CONSUMER SENT ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE.*JS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL PIPE WAS REPLACED. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED. *JS

AFTER ONLY 48,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTOR SET, PART # 16010-5R1-315 AND THE FUEL PIPE SET, PART # 16012-5R1-315 FOR A TOTAL COST (INCLUDING LABOR) OF $1,760.00.. DEALER FOUND CHECK ENGINE CODE P0171 - FUEL SYSTEM TOO LEAN. THE CHECK ENGINE CODE APPEARED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

CAR IS STUMBLING ON ACCELERATION AND RIDING RUFF. DEALER STATES ALL INJECTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STYLE INJECTOR (PART NUMBER 16010-5R1-315). ONE INJECTOR GOING BAD I CAN UNDERSTAND BUT ALL 4 INJECTOR IN 50,000 MILES AND REPLACED WITH A NEW STYLE INJECTOR, THIS IS A DEFECT.

MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO SHIMMER AND HAVE A FLUCTUATION IN POWER AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH. I HAD TO MOVE OVER TWO LANES TO PARK ON THE SHOULDER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON: MALFUNCTION; TRACTION CONTROL; POWER STEERING AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS BLINKING NONSTOP (IT WAS ON SOLID PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT). I WAS NOT SAFE ON THE SHOULDER WITH CARS FLYING BY ON THE INTERSTATE. I PRESSED THE START BUTTON AND AFTER A SLIGHT HESITATION, THE CAR STARTED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A HALF MILE ON THE SHOULDER AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE SO I WAS IN A SAFER LOCATION. THE CAR'S POWER WAS INCONSISTENT AS I DROVE THIS HALF MILE. ALL THE WARMING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE HONDA DEALER'S SHOP. THE HONDA SHOP WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE SAME PROBLEM AND WARNING LIGHTS THAT I REPORTED. THEY SAID THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD FAILED AND REPLACED IT. THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION WHAT THE PART FAILED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD ALL THE SCHEDULED SERVICE AND RECALLS ADDRESSED, NOW THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPLACED THE CAR RUNS NORMAL AGAIN. EXACTLY TWO WEEKS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME HONDA DEALER SHOP CHANGED MY OIL & FILTER AND PERFORMED THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND THEY REPLACED THE PLUG TOP IGNITION COIL PER A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE WONDERED IF THERE COULD BE A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND THE DEALER SHOP HAVING REPLACED THE PLUG TOP IGNITION COIL. I HAVE THE HONDA DEALER PAPERWORK SUPPORTING MY REPORTS. THE CAR'S SHIMMERING AND LOSS OF POWER ON THE INTERSTATE PUT ME IN SERIOUS DANGER OF A CAR ACCIDENT.

AT TIMES THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER. IT SEEMS LIKE THE FUEL INJECTION STALLS OUT TEMPORARILY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO VENICE HONDA IN FLORIDA TWICE. I WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE. I HAVE THE RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA. NHTSA RECALL 15V-559. WHEN I WROTE TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY IN CALIFORNIA THEY REPLIED THAT THEY NEED LOTS MORE INFO BEFORE THEY CAN REIMBURSE ME. APPARENTLY WHOEVER WROTE THIS DOES NOT KNOW THAT CUSTOMERS DO NOT HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING ON A SAFETY RECALL. I DON'T WANT MONEY, I WANT THE PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE I GET HIT FROM BEHIND. IT MOSTLY STALLS IN CITY TRAFFIC MAKING A TURN AND SOMETIMES TAKING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT.
