2019 Honda FitRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“My vehicle would not start at the end of the workday XXX. I replaced the battery assuming that was the problem. Unfortunately, it was not. I called a tow track to pick up my vehicle. My 2019 Honda Fit was dropped off on XXX at the Ourisman Honda of [XXX]. I was explained that what was causing the issue of my vehicle not starting was an electrical problem related to the gauge module. Please note that before the car repair I have been experiencing a gauge cluster and dashboard blinking out or glitching in cold weather. Odometer would black out completely. That prevented me from seeing my speed or fuel levels. I had to pay $2,165.50 out of pocket to fix a known manufacturing defect so I can pass Virginia Safety Inspection. The payment receipt attached shows a payment of $2,200 ($2,165.50 to fix the gauge control module not displaying the odometer + $34.50 for an air filter). The failure of the instrumental panel prevented me from tracking safety warnings or vehicle speed, requiring a full replacement of the Meter Assembly Combination (Part #78100 - T-5R - A23).”

“Purchased great condition used 2019 Fit EX on XXX from local non-Honda dealership. Nearly 10 months later, on XXX the following errors appeared on the dash: tire pressure monitor system, emissions, hill start assist, lane deviation warning, power steering, and vehicle stability assist errors on the screen, and the check engine, tire pressure monitoring system, vehicle stability assist system, and electric power steering lights were also on. I took it to a local Honda service shop (Performance Kings Honda at [XXX]), and it was diagnosed as needing fuel injectors replaced (running too rich). I approved the repair for a total cost of $1,629.32, including the diagnostic fee, parts, labor, and taxes, on XXX. This was an identical issue to a used 2018 Honda Fit EX that I had purchased on XXX which had the same symptoms and was diagnosed as the same problem (fuel injectors) in XXX, and for which I submitted a separate NHTSA complaint. This is an issue for the NHTSA because it is a known issue on this make and model of car by owners and Honda. See the following: Honda Service Bulletins 21-007, 22-002, 23-042. Additionally, it's an issue I have had to deal with twice,…”

“Multiple warning lights lit up after starting car and driving for a short distance (less than 5 feet). Honda mechanic diagnosed it as a misfire in cylinder likely due to carbon buildup or other unknown reason. Similar incidents have happened with other 2019 Honda Fit and an extension of warranty was issued for some vehicles but not all (SB 23-042). Unfortunately, mine was apparently not covered despite the same exact issue as other reported incidents.”
