Summary

Undercarriage engine splash shield was hanging loose after getting Honda service. Took it back to dealer and 2 plastic screw put it right. A few days later the front of this shield is now hanging from my car scraping the road. It's Labor day weekend. I am afraid this is going to fall off and hit a car behind me. I googled this and it has been an ongoing problem since at least 2015. There were no warning lamps, messages to let me know. I did not hit anything or go into any road debris. It happened on the highway at regular highway speed. This is very concerning to me. I cannot safely drive my car until shops open on Tuesday. It's Saturday.

Summary

The Towed Battery Charger Plus (TBC+) manufactured by RVIBrake.com (DBA: Danco) of Castle Rock, CO 80109, was installed on our Honda Fit, prior to a vacation in May 2021. While heading back to our home in Florida on July 11 2021, on Interstate 84 near Matamoras, PA, we started smelling burnt plastic. We pulled off the highway and noticed the burnt smell coming from under our hood. Upon opening the hood we could see the TBC+ smoldering. The result of this aftermarket component (TBC+) failing caused an under hood fire, which melted plastic components on the Honda Fit. This TBC+ also shorted, resulting in sending excess voltage and current to the electrical components on the Honda fit. This resulted in our alternator failing. As it is a fire hazard, I would like all TBC+ modules manufactured by RVIBrake.com to be recalled and all owners of this module get compensated for any expenses resulting from this device.

Summary

The vehicle started to bounce and accelerated on its own while making a left turn and was not responding to brakes to slow down and kept going faster and faster. The vehicle was only responding to steering. The car went up a curb into a yard, heading to a house , which was avoided by steering to the driveway and hit a parked car, then proceeded to a car parked on the street, then continued across the street and struck a truck facing the opposite way, which bounced the car into a yard and hit a tree which bounced it back and finally stopped by a electrical line. 4 collisions and no airbag. Because it was 4;45am in a neighborhood street, no one was injured. The car is totaled by the body shop and insurance company is not willing to pursue with manufacturer. The spontaneous acceleration, brakes and airbags are major safety failures. If this was any other time of day or on other busy streets, the outcome could be much worse. I read online that there was a software issue with this vehicle for acceleration in Japan and others who have had this problem here in the US. I would like this investigated and reported.

Summary

Random occurrences of CHECK FUEL CAP pop up on the R-hand indicator panel with no root cause. I've opened/closed the fuel cap until it clicks 3 times and start/stop the car 3x times but the alert will not stop appearing in the panel. When the alert occurs - it blinks and removes other important information in the panel, and is a nuisance when driving late at night. This has occurred over several tanks of gas and outdoor temperatures.

Summary

July 2020 Multiple check engine lights came on. Misfire code P0304 and P0302 for cylinder 4 at 32,491 miles. Dealership replaced fuel injectors on 07/16/20. five days and 562 miles later same issue occurred again. Back to dealership which found same codes and issues. Dealership perform decarb on system. 10/16/20 On a trip, same issue occurred so took to different Honda Dealership with only 1,000 miles driven since last issue. Same codes and same lights. This dealership stated misfire on all cylinders. They cleaned all cylinders of carbon. Cleaning lasted 10,000 miles and lights came back on 07/02/21. Had to wait to get service appointment at dealership on 07/09/21. Same lights and same misfire codes. Dealership states over 3 years/36,000 mile warranty now so not covered. Now states needs to be decarbed and all 4 fuel injectors replaced at my expense. My issue is it was under warranty when issue first occurred. Even after parts were replaced, new parts did not solve the issue. The new parts should have been warrantied for 1year/12,000 miles and they did not last that long.

Summary

WHAT FAILED: In May of 2020, I purchased a Towed Battery Charger Plus from RVIbrake.com; https://rvibrake.com/products/towed-battery-charger-plus?msclkid=8c6b9f0613801d9a3d3fffed4b442411&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP%20Branded&utm_term=rvi%20towed%20battery%20charger&utm_content=RVi%20-%20Towed%20Battery%20Charger The reasoning behind this purchase was to keep the battery of my 2019 Honda Fit (manual Transmission) charged while being towed behind my 2017 Thor Gemini Class C RV. SAFETY ISSUE: Today while towing the Honda Fit behind our Thor Gemini on Interstate 84 in Pennsylvania, I smelled a strong order of burned plastic. When I pulled over to the nearest rest area to investigate, I noticed the smell was emanating from the hood of my Honda Fit. I have pictures that show what I found when I opened the hood (Towed battery charger unit melted). Sadly, the fuse that is on this this device did not blow. Even worse, is my Honda Fit is now dead. I have no power to the car at all. The ignition, lights, horn, door alarms no longer work. If I hadn’t pulled over when I did, I fear that the Towed Battery Charger Plus would have set my Honda Fit and Thor RV on fire. Sent email to dealer/manufacture; RVIBrake. Also called their phone number and left a message. At this time dealer has not responded. Part is available for inspection. Part has not yet been inspected by manufacturer, police or insurance company. There was no warning lamp, message or other symptom of the problem. Problem was only noticed because I smelled burning plastic and stopped vehicle to investigate.

I was sent a letter with respect to the recall of certain Honda vehicles and mine was included. I called Galpin Honda in Mission Hills to make an appointment which was scheduled for June 15 (tomorrow) at 2:30 and it was cancelled two days after I made the appointment because I was told the part had not come in. I received a text message AND an email today confirming my appointment and I emailed Galpin back to advise them the appointment had been canceled. I am still waiting for a second letter that Galpin told me I would be receiving and to advise me when the part would arrive so I can take my car in for the repair.

Summary

On May 22, 2021 I received a letter from Honda to advise me of a recall regarding my 2019 Honda Fit's fuel pump. I am leasing said automobile which lease expires in October, 2022. I tried making an appointment for June 15, 2021 at 2:30PM to have the fuel pump repaired only to receive a voicemail about an hour later from someone at Galpin Honda in Mission Hills (where I am leasing my car from) who said something to the effect that Honda was unable to repair my car because they don't have the parts to replace the fuel pump. I was told I would be receiving a second letter (I was not told when nor what the second letter would consist of).

I TOOK CAR IN FOR SNOW TIRE CHANGE OVER AND THE TIRE SHOP SAID CAR NEED ALIGNMENT DONE, BECAUSE THE TIRE WEAR WAS CONSISTENT OUT ALIGNMENT, THE NEXT DAY I TOOK ALIGNMENT SHOP, AFTER THEY ALIGN THE CAR, THEY ASK ME IF THE CAR WAS EVER IN CRASH, WHICH I STATE NO BECAUSE IT WAS NOT. CAR NOT BUT IT OVERDUE ALIGNMENT BECAUSE HAD ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON IT, THE REAR AXLE WAS OUT ALIGNMENT AND THEY SAID CANNOT BE ALIGN. SO, I CALL HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY HAD ME TAKE TO DEALER TO VERIFY, WHICH AFTER VERIFYING IN ALIGNMENT. I DROVE BACK THE TIRE SHOP THEY REAR MEASURE AGAIN AND THE REAR STILL OUT ALIGNMENT. HOWEVER, THE TOE ONE THE RIGHT REAR HAD CHANGE FROM 3 DAYS OF NORMAL FORM -0.02 DEGREES TO +0.09 DEGREE DIFFERENT OF .11 DEGREE AND LEFT REAR MOVE IN TOE ABOUT .04 DEGREE. THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP DID QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SAY THESE CARS HAVE HABIT FLEX AND TWISTING THE REAR AXLE. I HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN JULY 2020, ASK DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WHAT BECAUSE THEY SAID IT FROM DRIVING IN CONNECTICUT AND NEW ENGLAND AKA POTHOLE AND BUMPS IN THE ROAD FROM NORMAL DRIVING. PLEASE NOTE THE DEALERSHIP USED ALIGNMENT MEASURE DEVICE YOU DRIVE THRU WHILE THE TIRE SHOP USED A LIFT AND MIRROR AND LASERS TO MEASURE. I BELIEVE INCREASE TIRE WEAR IN BACK WILL BE PROBLEM AND LOWER OVER THE CONTROLS OF THE VEHICLE AS WHEEL NOT TRACKING RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD. I BELIEVE THE REAR AXLE IN UNDERSIZE FOR THE CAR OR HAS FLAW IN THE METAL THAT USED THE BUILD THE CARS. I WOULD UP THE REPORT, BUT THEY CONTAIN VIN NUMBER.

CAR IS UNDER RECALL TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY.

I CALLED A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE REPAIR. (MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE CASTLE HONDA DEALERSHIP, NOT WITH AMERICAN HONDA).

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! THE HONDA DEALER SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD AND DROVE FINE FOR THEM.. STEERING, SUSPENSION, ALIGNMENT, TIRES.. ALL SUPPOSEDLY CHECKS OUT. THIS CAR IS NOW VERY TIRING TO DRIVE AND JUST PLAIN UNSAFE AT THIS POINT. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. IT'S JUST OVER 21K MILES.

THIS HAS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AT 45 MPH. NOW I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SENSORS EVERY TIME. I WORRY IT WILL GLITCH AGAIN OR TURN ON AND BRAKE AT A FULL STOP WITHOUT MY CONTROL. THE TURNING SENSORS ALSO ARE MALFUNCTIONING ESPECIALLY AT TURNS.
