2 Starter problem

Failure Date: 01/22/2020

Hello, the car won't start. It's a keyless start button. Button, panel, music, lights and all start. Everything's normal but the car won't start or turn over. I lower the handbrake, press down on the brake and press the starter button but can't get the engine to start. It has started after numerous tries. But the problem persists. I can't reliably expect to start the car. Please advise as I see many complaints posted on the web.

3 Starter problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2019

My key ignition light went on starting 9/2019. I went to the dealer and had to get the electrical panel related to the ignition and starter replaced. It might be related to the recall of the 2013-14 model where the front panel had to be replaced.

4 Starter problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2019

When starting the vehicle, a noise could sometimes be heard when the engine was turning over. Here is a video of the noise (I did not make this video, this came from another person who has the same issue with a 2015 Fit. His is a push button start. Mine is a key start. ): https://www. Youtube. Com/watch?v=dihldjfgqja recently, the noise has stopped, but when starting the car, the dash will turn on, lights, ac, etc. . . But the engine will not turn over. I sometimes have to attempt to start the car multiple times before the engine actually turns over. This appears to be a common issue in the 2015 Honda Fit, with many people starting to experience it between about 35k and 50k miles. The car not starting has been going on for a couple weeks, the engine noise was going on for months. Here are links of others complaining of the same issue: https://www. Carcomplaints.

5 Starter problem

Failure Date: 02/14/2019

While driving on the interstate at appx 65 miles per hour during the evening of 2/14, all the warning lights on the instrument panel briefly lit then shut-off. The engine also shut down causing me to pull to the side of the road and attempt to restart. After depressing the electronic ignition button about 10 times, the vehicle finally started. This vehicle has been experiencing issues with not starting since 02/02. The dealer replaced the start button on 2/5 and replaced the starter on 2/12. Even after those replacements, the car still has issues starting.

6 Starter problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2018

Similar issue to the others, have the right hand circular lcd panel of the dash which has progressively become worse and is locked, glitched or completely out most of the time when driving or stationary. Started when the car was just out of warranty in 2018 but is now unbearable. Includes odometer, fuel gauge (safety issue), fuel economy and other trip information. Also have had the often mentioned intermittent non-starting issue which was solved with a new starter with less than 35,000 miles on the car.
