Consumer Description
I purchased car, 2/2015 in Oregon, and began having issues once in Florida, at approx 10,000 miles. I took car to a Honda dealership. I needed service- oil change etc, however, the car was missing, as in the motor/ or emissions. The cold ambient temp light always came on, in Fl, but im not aware of issues it caused. Soon the car began having multiple things happening and I took the car into the same dealership( always) to have it inspected, as the Fit is still practically new. I notated to service manager the car would seem to miss especially when pulling away from a stopped position. I also informed the manager there is a noise at 1st start of day or after sitting multiple hours. They took car for drive and returned to say they were unable to “reproduce” the complaint/noise. I explained it normally is after the car has sat overnight, or at least 8 or more hours. I told the service manager, it sounds like a rod knocking, or the engine is out of oil, like a grinding noise. He suggested it stay overnight, so he could test it the following morning and did. Later the next day, he called to have me pick up my car, and was “ unable to reproduce.” I’ve taken the car in to Honda several times, never getting problems answered. The last few times in to Honda is for the not starting issue. It seems electrical. It started under warranty, like the rest, when the Fit would not start after going someplace. My partner was left stranded at Walmart one time, i have been dealing with this and took in, the last time was in 2020, and the female service person kept my car a couple days. The dash light showing most times saying the key and charging system problem. However, she initially said “ couldn’t duplicate.” Finally called to say they found problem, and it is alternator which they had already done. By now my car was just over the warranty miles, and she grabbed me a price of $1000 or so, and ultimately i paid about $130. Im jumping my car now everday.
