Will make plans to leave car with dealer overnight so they can start it the following day to hear the engine when |

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. |
| 91000 mi US $849 |
Took car back to dealer. Had 2 managers and a technician drive around with me in the car so I could show them what the problem was. They finally believed me.

Dealer ordered parts and I took car back to have repair done. Tech replaced all 4 coils. Have driven the car for 4 days now and so far, car seems to be operating normally. 2 mos later: car has not duplicated issue. Appears to be fixed. |

| 76000 mi US $200 |
Valves needed an adjustment. On cold mornings the car would shake and stall. It's an automatic. I called the dealer and was told no way would the valves need an adjustment. Independent repair shop fixed it for me. |
| 90000 mi US $200 |

Miss firing lost of power, Coil pack and /or spark plug problem. Change all 4 spark plug despite being below their lifespan. Coil pack seems OK, clean the electrical connections with connection cleaner. the Problem is gone |
| 78000 mi US $10 |
Vibration noise, a small metal plate on the exhaust manifold was partially detached. I had it removed. stop the noise and doesn't affect the car fonctions |
| 79000 mi | 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. |
| 86200 mi US $225 |
Engine stutter, some misfire and unstable idle for couple week. No check engine light, but problem was evident. All symptoms pointed toward ignition coils. Changed the the 4 ignition coils for OEM quality ( hitachi) from rock auto ( more than 50% cheaper than from dealers). |
| 118500 mi US $440 |
Air fuel ration sensor failed. It's the second time in 5 years. unfortunately. I tried to change the sensor myself 5 years ago, because your save at least 100$ 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. |

Gave the engine the commonly required Honda Fit valve adjustment because the car was stalling when you put in the clutch when the engine was cold (e.g.; car would stall when pulling up to a stop light). |
| 161000 mi US $1814 |
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. |
| 128960 mi C $1400 |
misfire on cylinder 2. A fuel injector was dead and another was weak, so they were replaced. 2 bolts needed to be drilled out during the process. |

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. |
| 108000 mi US $400 |
Coils failed -- symptom was that the car "stuttered" when load was applied at 2000-3000 rpm. Awaiting results of full car inspection before fixing this issue. (Is cat converter poisoned? How much life does the clutch have left? etc.) |
| 154000 mi US $130 |
Engine would sometimes stall after a cold start once the cold engine light went off and car was in neutral. Valve clearance adjustment was performed and remedied the problem. |

Ignition Problem: Suddenly could not turn key in the ignition. Locksmith replaced the ignition system |
| 48460 mi | Went to start car and key would not turn in the ignition had the car towed to my local mechanic. Locksmith installed new ignition because the present one was under warranty. Had to pay for two new keys though. |
| 31000 mi | Took car in to dealer to diagnose Check Engine light that had been on for several weeks. OBD code pertained to exhaust system. Dealer's diagnosis was that the catalytic converter was failing and needed replacement. |
| 33000 mi | New catalytic converter installed, covered under extended emissions system warranty. Very odd that car would fail after only about 30k miles. |
| 106400 mi US $250 |
replace ignition coil |

Failed ignition coil. |
| 21000 mi | The V-TEC system started leaking oil in its hydraulic line. Dealership ordered parts and repaired everything in two days. Was given a brand-new Accord EX V6 for a loaner. Not a bad experience. |
| 88660 mi C $100 |
Manufacturer issue with coil. Causes car to stutter and or stall at RPM<1500. Safety issue and told not to drive, but supply problem for part from factory. Repaired as a recall, but no recall yet. Repair on coil believed to be warranty work, turns out it was not. Long delay in repair because parts not available. After repair, company came back asking for payment. Unhappy result. |
| 37820 mi C $55 |
Check fuel cap warning, followed by check engine light. Took to repair shop, not dealer. Determined that small cracks in rubber seal of (after market)fuel cap was source of problem. Replaced with new cap. Problem apparently solved. |
