The contact stated that upon pulling over to the side of the road, the vehicle stalled, and the contact noticed a strong fuel odor. The vehicle failed to restart immediately on several occasions. The check engine warning light flashed upon restarting the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing rough idling. The vehicle was taken to Bird's Automotive & Customs, where the intake valves were cleaned; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel was running too rich, and the contact was advised that the intake valves needed to be cleaned, but the contact declined to pay for the service because the previous service had not corrected the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stopped driving the vehicle due to the safety concerns. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V858000 (Fuel System, Gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The dealer was notified of the failure.

There was a warranty extension for carbon buildup on the fuel injectors and I have taken my car to Honda twice to get the carbon removed and the software updated to fix the problem of multiple codes coming up. I took the car on Friday September 19, 2025 and I picked up the car at 3:30pm in September 20th. The person assisting me said they removed the buildup and fixed the software but at 11pm on the 20th, all the light came back on, indicating the problem was not fixed. I drove about 75 miles after getting my car back when the problem happened again. This has been incredibly unsafe for multiple reason. 1. When all the car dash indicators turn on, you can’t tell what the tire pressure is and if there are any problems. I have been having to manually check the tire pressure every few weeks because this is an ongoing problem and it causes the tire pressure gauge to not work 2. Because this is ongoing, you cannot reset the oil change maintenance indicator, so it is much harder to track when an oil change was last done. This has caused me to miss vital maintenance required to keep the car running well. 3. It is incredibly inconvenient to have to take the car to be fixed for the same problems multiple times. It costs consumers vital time, and potentially money without seeing any actual improvements. Although the diagnostics fee has been waived, having to potentially pay up to $200 in diagnostic fees makes consumers like me not want to take it for fear that may be very costly to even have them take a look at the car, thus making it less likely people will take the car in for necessary and important safety fixes. If you would like to see any records or inspection the vehicle, please feel free to reach out. The only fix I have been offered is to replace the fuel injectors for $1600, without any guarantee that it would fix the problem. I also took this matter up with Honda corporate, without any real solutions and there are multiple reports online of repeat problems.

Before getting the recall completed on this 2018 Honda Fit I was experiencing the engine misfiring and engine stalling while driving as well as many warning light illuminating on the dashboard. When taking the vehicle to the dealership they found out that I needed a recall completed for the fuel pump so this may have been what was causing the engine misfiring, stalling, and illuminated warning lights on the dashboard. But, because I was experiencing a misfire they went ahead and charged me for a diagnosis so they can make sure there are no other issues going on. So after performing the recall on the fuel pump replacement the dealer technician says there in an active engine code and says its P0301 for engine misfire and with further checking says I need to replace a four fuel injectors with only 85,000 miles on the vehicle. Since this was the initial cause of the issue I thought this would be a recall as well but the dealer said it was not and wanted to charge me for replacement of all four fuel injectors. I believe since this is the same issue in regards to safety that they should be covering this under warranty or forced/voluntary recall. I would like there to be an investigation into this issue since this seems like a design flaw from the manufacturer which when reading the fuel pump recall says "the fuel pump failure can cause an engine stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash" which describes the ongoing issue I have with my vehicle after the safety recall was completed.

Honda is not replacing the fuel pump on these vehicles. They are stating that the fuel pump has to fail before they replace it. If the fuel pump fails while someone is driving on the highway, there is a strong likelihood that they could crash. Honda has sent out recall flyers to take your vehicle to any local dealer and they will replace it for free. I have called every dealership within 50 miles of the D.C. area and none will replace the recalled fuel pump until the car breaks down.

Honda placed a recall for the fuel pump on my vehicle and did not notify me. I was notified by my insurance. I have had many issues caused by or related to this recall that they have refused to fix or remedy. They want me to pay out of pocket and they have completely delayed fixing my recall. They tell me the part is unavailable and they will call when available and then tell me they still don’t have it after 90+ days. They are refusing to replace the catalytic converter even though that’s the error code coming up and I am under the federal warranty for it. They are trying to charge me to fix my fuel injectors for the second time in less than a year and won’t cover the cost even though it could be a direct connection to a faulty fuel pump.

Misfire codes that indicate a bad fuel injection system, including issues with previous models for the same issue. My car was running very roughly and stuttering at high speeds. An independent garage confirmed that the car had bad fuel injectors at only 80,000 miles and it cost $950 to fix. I had 6 check engine lights appear from this issue. Honda refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.

I received notification of a recall regarding the fuel pump on my 2018 Honda FIT. Now, six months later, I contacted my local dealership to get other work done and asked, again, for the recall work to be done. Honda refuses to do the work or even tell me when it will be able to do the work on my car to correct the problem. I use my car every day for my work, and I am increasingly concerned that my car will fail, leaving me unable to work without the added expense of getting a rental car. Six months should be plenty of time to, at the very least, figure out when they will be able to do the work.

Multiple warning lights came on at the same time. OBD reader showed code 0302 (cylinder 2 misfire). Dealer performed warranty extension program to media blast the inlet valves. This was unsuccessful and the dealer now suggests that all 4 fuel injectors need replacing. The car has recorded 45k miles since new in 2018.

Car is not running properly. Idling very poorly. Check engine light is on. Check engine light code is P0300, P0301, P0304. Honda has issued extended warranty for the same make/model(2018 Honda fit). My car's VIN is not included. Spoke with Honda corporate. No explanation for this.

Recently, our check engine light came on. We had the code tested and it came up with cylinder misfiring(P0300). Upon doing some digging I noticed that Honda has issued an extended warranty of 10 years 150,000 miles for 2018 Honda Fits experiencing the same code but for some reason mine's not included. I'm happy to bring it to a dealership to confirm the codes but if it is that same issue I would like to know that it will be treated like all these other 2018 Honda Fits. I've tried to get this resolution from Honda but have gotten no help.

Check engine light with Code P219A. Honda dealer performed a cylinder A/F Imbalance test and recommended that the Fuel injectors be replaced. This appears to be a common problem with Honda Fits. The injectors are just as bad the recalled 30520-5R0-013 injectors. Honda claims the 2018 vehicles do not have those injectors. I beleive this vehicle has the same defective 30520-5R0-013 injectors.

I have called several times to the Howdy Honda dealership where i purchased my Honda fit . the response is the same each time that they have not released the Fuel Pump. I have been having issues with my car that is hesitating when i drive and takes a long time to get going up a hill or just even a flat road.
