2018 Honda Fit Complaints

Component/System Involved: The multi-purpose camera system on my 2018 Honda Fit has malfunctioned, disabling critical safety features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS), and Collision Braking Warning System (CBWS). Safety Risk: The failure of these systems creates significant safety risks. Without ACC, the vehicle cannot maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. The LKAS no longer provides steering assistance to help stay in the lane, and the CBWS cannot detect or warn of potential collisions. These malfunctions increase the likelihood of accidents, especially during highway driving or in heavy traffic. Problem Reproduction and Confirmation: The issue has been reproduced and confirmed by Norm Reeves Honda Cerritos during an inspection on 8/13/25. Inspection Details: The vehicle has been inspected by a dealer/service center, which diagnosed the problem. However, the manufacturer has not offered a resolution, nor has the vehicle been inspected b...

I am reporting a known paint defect involving the White Orchid Pearl paint on my 2018 Honda Fit. The paint has begun to peel and delaminate, particularly on the roof and other panels, exposing bare metal. As a result, the exposed areas are now beginning to rust. Honda issued a Service Bulletin covering this issue for seven years from the original in-service date. However, I am not the original owner, and by the time I discovered the issue, the paint had already begun to deteriorate, and I was told I do not qualify for coverage under the extended paint warranty. This defect appears to be a manufacturer issue related specifically to the White Orchid Pearl paint, which has been widely reported on multiple Honda and Acura models. Honda is aware of this problem but has not offered consistent support to all affected vehicles and owners, especially those who are second-hand buyers, despite the fact that the defect originated from factory-applied paint and is unrelated to ownership. I belie...

The contact owns a 2018 Honda Fit. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the engine. There was no warning light illuminated. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Earlier today I paid $2,605 to have 4 fuel injectors replaced on a 2018 (75,000 miles) Honda Fit at Davis Honda in Burlington New Jersey. I see that earlier Honda Fits have a service bulletin/extended warranty on the fuel injectors that would have covered me [XXX] ). I also see that many of their other 2018 cars have service bulletins for similar fuel injector issues [XXX] ). It appears that this is a widespread issue that Honda should be addressing. Is there someone I could speak to about this? This is not Honda quality. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On [XXX], my Honda Fit started to jerk, and then all the warning lights started flashing on my dashboard. I didn’t know what was happening and with all this happening I could not see my speed only on the Octometer. When this first began the car also began to jerk. I immediately pulled over and stopped the car. I left it rest and restarted it and everything appeared normal again. I went about ten miles, and it started to reoccur again but not with the jerking. Warning lights continue to blink on the dashboard. I then turned around and went to the nearest Honda dealership to have it checked. They looked at the issue and said it would have to be checked by their computer and were unable to do then. They assured me it would do no damage to the car and continue to drive it and they could book me in a week. Since this was not my usual Honda dealership I decided I would call them on April 25th in the morning, which I did, and they made an appointment for that Wednesday. This con...
