general problems of the 2013 Honda FIT

See attached document for complaint.

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Fit. The contact stated while driving 10 mph, the vehicle stalled with a grinding sound coming from the vehicle. Upon restarting the vehicle, the failure persisted with the abs warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle started rolling forward while in park(p) and the parking brake was activated to stop the vehicle from rolling. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to the residence. An independent mechanic arrived at the residence and replaced the driver’s side cv axle. Upon taking the vehicle to a dealer for an oil change; the contact was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 20v770000 (power train); however, the recall was closed three years prior. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Received recall warning.

Drivers side cv shaft sheared underneath vibration dampener. I was trying to take off from a stop at an intersection and the shaft broke. I was attempting to make a right hand turn onto a rural state route. This could have been quite bad if anyone was coming. After pushing the car to the side of the road it wouldn't stay put in park almost leading to it rolling into another vehicle while I was halfway out of the vehicle. The break also happened inside the vibration dampener so if there were any clues of this part starting to fail they were hidden and would have been almost impossible for a mechanic to spot.

Front passenger axle broke when I stepped on the gas when stoplight turned green. Had car towed to dealership for repair. I found there was recall on this front axle for 2013 Fit made between 5/24-7/5/13 for this failure, but Honda says my car had no recall on file so it wouldn't be part of this recall. Car only has 59500 miles. Customer service unable to tell me actual date my car mfg and that they are meticulous on recalls. If they're so meticulous, why did they put improperly heat treated axles in 3108 cars? I suspect mine got missed in the recall. I have the broken axle, which I can take to a metallurgist if necessary.

I was making a wide turn going forward on a highway. I couldnt complete the turn successfully because the road wasnt wide enough, so I stopped and changed gears to reverse to back up. That is when the axle broke. It probably had the most torque on it and perhaps I didnt give it enough time to shift from forward to reverse.

Front axel fractured and broke. Fracture was inside boot and therefore couldnt be detected in advance without removing the boot. The vehicle parked ok. And then we re-started it but it couldnt deliver any movement to the wheels when placed in gear.
