Recent owner complaints
Reports submitted to NHTSA, shown in the owner's own words
Fuel injectors failed and need replacement at 34,804 miles. Check engine light on, rough acceleration. Dealer, Dover Honda, New Hampshire, performed TSB repairs for engine misfires: carbon cleaning intake valves and computer reprogram but states this did not solve misfire issues and all fuel injectors need replacement.

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).

Bad solder connection on instrument cluster circuit board. Unable to see mileage, gas gauge, airbag, check engine, oil, trip meter....etc. intermittently.

- Sep 1, 2022
The digital multi-information display located within the instrument cluster is failing, causing the characters to scramble, pixelate, and become completely unreadable. This hardware malfunction is intermittent but progressively worsening, rendering critical vehicle operating data entirely inaccessible. Specifically, I am unable to view the available fuel level, odometer, remaining oil life, or trip mileage while driving.Safety Risk:The inability to monitor the vehicle’s remaining fuel level creates a severe and unpredictable safety hazard, as the vehicle could unexpectedly stall or lose power in high-speed traffic or hazardous road conditions without warning. Additionally, the lack of a visible odometer and oil life indicator prevents proper tracking of essential safety inspections and routine maintenance intervals

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, on two separate vehicles, both of the same make and model, meaning it is likely an extremely prevalent issue for owners. Fuel injectors are an expensive repair, and they're known to be faulty on these vehicles by the manufacturer. Without correction, other major systems in the vehicle will fail, with issues such as engine misfire, overheating, catalytic converter failure, and catastrophic damage to the engine. Honda already knows this is an issue on the 2016 and 2017 models. The warranty extension they already issued for these years must be expanded or replicated to cover this issue, which has persisted in the 2018-2020 models. This should be expanded to cover additional years as well. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Screen with odometer, gas gauge, mpg, etc has been failing. Makes it difficult to get service and warranty coverage on repairs, tires, etc due to not knowing mileage at time of service. Also makes it difficult to know how much fuel is in the vehicle, with risk of running out of gas causing operation and safety issues. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Has been confirmed by dealer and independent service centers. Has been inspected (at my cost) by dealer to determine the cause of the fault. No warning lamps or messages (issue is that these systems are not reliably working) prior to issue. Has worked intermittently, with issues for over 2 years.

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.

Manufacturer communications
A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Owner Notification Letter - On some 2018-2019 Fit vehicles, a combination of carbon deposits on the intake valves and the PGM-FI software settings may lead to reduced combustion stability under certain circumstances. This results in a misfire being detected and Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) being illuminated.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Service Bulletin - A combination of carbon deposits on the intake valves and the PGM-FI software settings may lead to reduced combustion stability under certain circumstances. This results in a misfire being detected and DTC stored.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Service Bulletin - The MIL comes on with DTC P0300 (random misfire detected) or P0301âP0304 (cylinder misfire detected) due to carbon buildup on the intake valves may be affecting combustion.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Dealer Message - American Honda is announcing a warranty extension for certain 2018-2019 Fit vehicles. American Honda is extending the warranty coverage for valve cleaning and software installation due to carbon buildup on the valves with misfire DTCs (P0300-P0304) on these vehicles to 10 years or 150,000 miles from the original date of purchase, whichever comes first.
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Service Bulletin - (Repair Procedure Revision) Due to swelling of the fuel pump motor impeller, the fuel pump may seize and stop working. If this occurs, the check engine light may be displayed with DTC P0087 (Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low) stored, the engine may not start, or the engine could stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Replace the fuel pump motor.

Service Bulletin - (Repair Procedure Revision) Due to swelling of the fuel pump motor impeller, the fuel pump may seize and stop working. If this occurs, the engine may not start, or the engine could stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Replace the fuel pump motor.
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
