Car died 10 miles from home after parking it on a cold, rainy night. Had to be towed. Insurance paid for all but $20 of the tow. Dealer said battery was dead. At the time, the car had under 36,000 miles on it. Dealer said battery life depends partly on age, and it's a 2013 car so that battery was at least 4 years old. (And it never had had any problems starting before this.) He insisted on putting in a 100-month Honda battery. That's all he had in stock, he claimed. I think I was ripped off, but I needed my car back so I paid.

Audible ticking sound can be heard from the engine, particularly when the engine is cold. The frequency of the ticking is directly related to RPM. Mechanics suspect that engine needs a valve height adjustment, but at the time of the servicing the ticking could not be heard (probably because the engine warmed up during the drive to the shop), so no repair was attempted. Will make plans to leave car with dealer overnight so they can start it the following day to hear the engine when

Follow-up repair from previous diagnosis. Engine made a ticking noise that was directly related to RPMs. Noise became more noticeable and persistent over the past few months. A valve height adjustment and spark plug replacement was performed. Plastic paneling on the inside of the trunk (hatch) door had become partially detached from the metal exterior portion of the door due to one or some of the plastic clips becoming broken or dislodged. The missing/broken plastic clips were replaced and the interior plastic panel was reattached to the metal exterior. However, after the car had been returned to me, the entire plastic panel detached from the door when I tried to close the trunk door, suggesting that the panel had not been reattached properly in the shop. I reattached the panel, but now the panel rattles/squeaks more than it did prior to this repair being attempted. I believe that there are still some clips that may be missing.

The cars engine has been severely acting up for the pat 7 months--feels like bad gas. While sitting at idle, the engine stutters, jumps, and hiccups almost to the point of stalling out. I have researched the issue and it is known to plague the car. Many say it is an ignition coil/spark plug issue. I took it to the local Honda dealership...they had it for 3 days...and couldn't "replicate the problem." Uhhhhh what? I encounter this problem every single time I'm in the car and your "experts" can't find it? They said there were no computer error messages, yet a 3 year old would be able to feel the issue sitting in the car. Ridiculous. Needless to say I won't be taking my vehicle there again (several other issues occurred including dealer gouging my steering wheel during the test drives and blaming me for it) Issue still persists in my daily driving. Dealing with this crap is really getting old.

TPMS indicator lit, probable cause an 11 year old battery inside the wheel. (Not a problem for 2015 and newer as these models use passive techniques to monitor tire pressure) [truedelta should include TPMS failures as a suspension category] EDIT 2022-11-27: TPMS light went off on its own, but reappeared at the first cold snap in November, 10 months later. TPMS battery I suspect is marginal. Estimated cost at Costco to replace is $60 per wheel. Holding off on that for a bit.

Electric would cut out briefly, especially if running the a/c. Found to be the alternator dropping voltage. This had been happening for a couple years at least. Update: There is a fuse at the battery terminal held in place by a couple of nuts. I discovered one of these to be missing and the other loose shortly after this repair. I secured it in place better than it had been. The car has not dropped its voltage since then, but there is no way to tell if it was the alternator or my small repair. I do strongly suspect it was my repair and I unnecessarily spent a couple hundred dollars, though.

The last visit to the shop the week before I sold it was to find the source of a periodic "clunking" in the front end when braking, two things were found: 1. The wrong lubricant was likely used on the brake pad slide area (mechanic noted it was dry); and 2. the lower control arm bushing (right side) may need replacing - the mechanic sprayed some deep creep on it. As a result of this two adjustments, the clunking disappeared, but since he did both things at once the actual solution was not isolated. Replace muffler

First the exhaust pipe, just after the resonator, broke clean off without warning. It looked like it was sawn off. Upon removing it I found the flanges at the joint with the catalyser section were so thin that the catalyser had to be replaced too. Upon removing the cat section from the exhaust manifold I found more flanges/bolts so degraded that it was difficult to disassemble. The flange on the manifold is also quite degraded, but I decided to leave it. It seems that the muffler/catalyser/piping may be stainless and very durable. That is good, but the flanges, bolts and nuts all rust making repairs neccessary and extremely difficult.

The compressor failed, so my shop put in a salvaged one. My mechanic's opinion was that they were better than 3rd party refurbished. The dealer wanted $1080 for the job. One or more of the valves was bad; was probably driven too long by the previous owner with out of spec valve clearances. Could have fixed the valve for $150 less; but engine replacement should be better in the long run.

The transmission started making a failing halfshaft bearing noise. A used 82k mile transmission was under 400, so my mechanic and I figured it would be cheaper and more reliable to replace rather than repair, so we went that route. Replaced the clutch at the same time. I would have liked to get more than 196k miles on the original transmission, but I can't really complain.

Check engine on. Use a code reader, the code was P2A00: Air-fuel ratio sensor. On the GD3 FIT it's the sensor on the exhaust manifold. Resetted the code, it came back the same day. Did reset a second time, the CEL came back on, every time P2A00. But this time call went out by itself. It is more than a month ago now and it had not returned. I wanted to test the resistance of the sensor, to see if it really gone bad, but it's not easy to get to it. I've heard that if the Valve lash are out of spec, this could cause a false A/f sensor CEL. My car has bad fuel economy for a couple of months now, so there's something going on.

I already had to change it couple of years ago because Honda cable and plug is very cheap and did last long. The cable was damaged and turns out the plug connector were all rusted out.

Air fuel ration sensor failed. It's the second time in 5 years. unfortunately. I tried to change the sensor myself 5 years ago, because your save at least 100$ on the part alone. but unfortunately on the Honda fit it's very hard to reach and you need a lift to get under the car. so a 150-180$ job DIY become a 400$ one (Canadian). But garages as a good service also repaired tire leak and tested my battery/alternator. they winter is very cold this year.

After several days of heavy rain, I found a large quantity of water on the floor in the rear seat area, on both sides. Water was over 1" deep on both sides. Additionally, I found over 1" of water in the spare tire area. I shop vacuumed over 2 gallons of water out of the car overall. For the rear hatch area leak, I sealed the roof rails with RTV on both sides, as recommended online. For the rear floor leaks, I removed both rear door panels, and replaced the seal on the vapor barrier, which had failed, again following advice I found online for similar leaks with 2007 Honda Fits.
