Consumer Description

2016 HONDA FIT WITH APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR IN EARLY DECEMBER OF 2019 AND HAS CONTINUED FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. PROBLEM IS THAT THE CAR IS UNABLE TO START. ON NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR, WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ALL SYSTEMS ARE POWERED, BUT THE ENGINE WON'T CRANK. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE TO ENSURE IT'S NOT THE BATTERY. THERE IS NO CORROSION ON ANY OF THE ELECTRICAL CABLES. THERE ARE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS ONLINE OF OTHER HONDA FIT OWNERS ENCOUNTERING PREMATURE STARTER FAILURE. CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DESPITE THE VEHICLE BEING RELATIVELY NEW.
