I have had my Honda fit for almost 7 years now and every winter I have an issue with the ADAS system. The car will throw a warning saying the sensor is obstructed and to clean off the windshield. Every time I check to make sure there's nothing obstructing the sensors. If I had to guess, the plastic covering is trapping heat from warming up the car and fogging the glass but I can't do anything about it since the plastic is not removable. It seems like a flaw in the design that operating the car with the heat on in winter can cause issues with the ADAS.

I have noticed a grinding/rattling when starting my Fit from a cold engine. I have taken the car to the dealership and mentioned the noise - they recommended getting a new battery. Afterwards the noice was still happening. I took it in again and stated theres a rattling sound on a cold start. The dealer said that couldn't replicate it and probably related to the exhaust system. Now I have taken it in once again because the noise is getting worse and not just on cold starts and at this point they inform me that it's the VTC Actuator. Upon hearing this I googled the part and this is a long running issue for Hondas and there have been several service bulletins about it. The VTC Alternator has cause the timing chain to stretch in some vehicles according to this search which then can cause total engine failure. I do not feel safe driving a car that has been having issues with the VTC Actuator for years and Honda has not be held accountable for this.

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Fit. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the infotainment screen failed to illuminate. The contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V046000 (Back Over Prevention) however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,075.

Similar problem experienced as the TSB issued for 2015-2016 Honda Fits. Our 2018 exhibits the same issues as the years listed in the TSB below: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10208198-0001.pdf Check engine lights and stumbles/misfires deeming the car unsafe to drive. The NHTSA should encourage/mandate the entire 2015-2020 Honda Fit model run to be covered by the TSB above, since the issues/symptoms are identical in model year 2018+ cars as they are in 2015-2016. Eagerly awaiting for oyu to do something about this safety issue. Thank you!

The car will randomly shut off the ACC, collision warning, and lane assist. The dealership says this is due to an error with the fuel injection system and fuel injectors need replaced. There Was a similar recall on the 2015-2916 Honda fit, but was supposedly fixed on later cars. This is still the same flaw but for some reason affects these other safety systems too.

all vehicle warning lights came on specifically the check engine light for an emissions system problem. At the time the car had around 100,000 miles so it was suspected that the issue had to be with the battery, o2 sensors, or spark plug and ignition coil, so those parts were replaced. The vehicle still shows all the warning lights and reads codes for misfires in the first and second cylinder. If the issue with the fuel injectors was recalled and fixed for the 2015-2016 model Honda Fit, then it cant possibly be that the 2017-2020 honda fits also have a fuel injector problem, unless they also do and the issue has been neglected.
