Check Engine Light On Problems of Honda FIT

In 2019 the #3 spark plug came out of cylinder head while driving on a two lane roadway. I had the car repaired (see attached repair receipt). The same thing happened to the same spark plug last week (March 7, 2021). Again, this occurred on a two-lane roadway at moderate speed. The car ran rough for a week or so beforehand, and fuel economy suffered. On March 7th, the car lost power and the check engine light came on. A foul smell filled the car. I became dizzy and nauseous from exhaust fumes entering the passenger compartment.

A couple of days ago I went to turn my car on, while stationary the dashboard lights lit up out of nowhere. The tpms sensor began flashing, the check engine light came on, along with the eps & vsa lights. The car just got to 68k miles. I went to get my car scanned and the result was a misfire on cylinder 4. After doing more research, I found that many other cars (of this exact model) had this same issue & have been recalled, but mine hasn�t. I'm worried it may become a bigger issue to my safety.

The spark plug came out of the cylinder head while driving along a city road at lower mileage (20 - 30 mph). The spark plug ripped out the threads on the cylinder head, damaged the coil package, and caused the check engine light to come one. I smelled fumes in the passenger cabin and became dizzy while pulling over to stop. Smoke started coming from under the hood from the coil package being melted. The spark plug was lost while pulling over.

My car has approximately 60,000 miles on it and has only ever been used for transport from home to school. I was driving at approximately 20 mph and the check engine light came on while I was in motion. A couple minutes later, the power steering, traction, and tire pressure light came on all at the same time while I was in motion. My car jerked and I lost control for a brief second. The lights will flash on and off at random times while I'm in motion and is especially terrifying when trying to drive at a highway speed. Many people with 2015 Honda Fits have had similar issues and I would encourage you to explore this danger. A car that new with relatively low mileage should not be experiencing mechanical issues that put their drivers at risk.

Vehicle has 48,000 miles. Check engine light came on, took it into dealership for diagnosis. All four fuel injectors needed to be replaced due to gumming (not due to quality of fuel). The vehicle received a safety recall servicing in 2016 that could affect the fuel injectors, but no issues were recorded by the dealership. The vehicle is under a service bulletin on faulty fuel injectors for all VIN's of the Honda Fit 2015, and the ntsb number for that a16-034. Both service techs and customer service at Honda found the issue to be abnormal especially because the issue effected all four injectors, not just one.

My check engine light came on this Sunday morning when I driving over 60 mph with a/c and radio on my car jerks, I have already had a major transmission repair that cost over $500 and the car continues to misfire I was told the car was fine by the dealer rusty wallis. I have a service history book of everytime I have ever had any type of service my car has ever had since I purchased it. I do everything that the dealer tells me I'm informed I m supposed to do for the care of my car. I get my book stamped with the seal from rusty wallis every time I get service, even just an oil change. My high beams turn on whenever I use the signal lights. I just replaced my battery and now my a/c will not work. I'm taking my car into rusty to have the latest recall the airbags fixed this Saturday. I have spent thousands of dollars on my car and all work on my car has been at the place I bought it rusty wallis. They have always been good with me, but I really think something is wrong with the engines and fuel/ electrical systems in the Fits 2007. I just don't want to keep spending money on a problem that will never be fixed. I'm afraid that my car is going to stop while I'm on the freeway for an issue I have already paid to have fixed. I have had major tune ups, brakes, transmission and gaskets engine stuff done every time I was informed my car needed it, but the issue is not resolved. I would prefer an impartial entity review the situation and give me the findings, because I feel like I'm spending money and the issues still persist. I have paid for most things on my credit card for a track record of the years. My car is only 9 yrs old. Rusty wallis has been good with me, I think the defects are factory made from Honda. I would like to know is this stuff just happening my car or are others having these issues too.

My 2008 Honda Fit (manual transmission) suddenly felt like the engine was bucking or hesitating when shifting gears. This was noticable when shifting into 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th gear. It felt as if I needed to downshift even though I was shifting into the correct gear. ( I have been driving manual transmissions for more than 30 years). I took the car to the Honda service department and after test driving the car was told they did not notice the problem and to come back if the check engine light came on. A week or two later (12/9/14) when in massachusetts for business, the bucking/hesitation was so bad that I was uncertain what gear I should be in when driving up a steep road. I made a service appointment for the coming Saturday (12/13/14) when I would be back in connecticut, even though the check engine light was not on. The service department told me the coil assembly for one of the cylinders needed to be replaced which they did on Monday (12/15/14). I have not experienced a problem for the past four days. The total repair cost was nearly $257. 60 with the coil assembly costing $135. I checked online to see what the cost for the part was and found it for $81 at brenardi auto parts which sells genuine Honda parts and from whom I have previously purchased parts. I emailed the Honda service department asking to be refunded $50 as they over-price on parts. Waiting to hear back from them. My question/concern; should this coil assembly have failed? what is the expected life of this part? thank you.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic. The mechanic stated the spark plug was loose. The mechanic tighten the spark plug and give the vehicle back to the contact. The light illuminated again six months later. The contact brought his vehicle back to the dealer. The mechanic stated that the spark plug had completely fell out of its normal hole and stated a heli-coil would need to be installed. The vehicle was repaired however two months later, the contact was driving 55 mph when suddenly the contact heard a loud bang and noticed smoke around his vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the mechanic again. This time the mechanic could not re repair the spark plug and informed the contact he would need a new cylinder head. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. 84,000. Az.

On cold mornings (<~50 f) the vehicle starts fine but has a rough idle. When stopping at a stop sign ~1/4 mile from my home the car will lose engine power and sometimes stall (once in the middle of a oncoming traffic). Once the cold engine light goes away (after a few minutes of driving) the stalling/lose of power goes away. There is no check engine light after stalling and the car produces no diagnostic codes.

At times car stalls at red light. Car has also quit running at 70 mph. Have had car at Honda dealer several times and there are no falt codes. Car is now turning on check engine light. Dealer is no help. Have replaced coils, spark plugs, air filter and v-tec oil pressure switch. Trouble still exist. Honda dealer has no clue and is no help in resolving this issue. I am afraid that someone might die in the car before the trouble is fixed.

Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact was driving 20 mph when the vehicle misfired and the check engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileages were 131,000. Kmj.

Since around 100 k miles, my car's check engine light has been flickering or staying on and then going off on its own after a cold start. Sometimes the light flickers upon driving before warm, once the gas is let up, the light either stops flickering, or continues to flicker and then remains on for a few days, then goes off on its own. Every time the car has been taken in to have the code read, it's a misfire on a specific coil. I had one coil replaced, and this fixed the problem (or not, because soon after, the weather warmed and this problem does not occur in warmer weather). This problem has occurred for at least the last 3 winters, maybe 4. I just had all 4 coil packs and all spark plugs replaced. This fixed the problem for about a week, and the cel flickered and eventually remained on. This is common problem with this model of Fit, and it seems that not even Honda dealerships can remedy the issue. The car now has approximately 150 k miles, and there are absolutely no other major issues. Routine maintenance has been kept up on the vehicle, and my mechanic has checked for hose leaks, etc. He suggested using a fuel injector cleaner, which also helped the issue very temporarily. The only problem that has been remedied with the spark/coil pack replacement is that the car no longer stutters during highway driving (at 50-70 mph, the car seemed as though it was about to stall - this problem was remedied by using spark plugs with a shorter distance on the diode, there has been no difference after the coil pack replacement, and the last time the codes were read, all coils were randomly putting out misfire codes).

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Fit. The contact stated the vehicle had a blown head gasket which caused the engine light to illuminate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the problem as a blown head gasket and cylinder head and repaired it at the owners expense for $3000. Two weeks later, the engine light started to illuminate again. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who informed her that it would cost an additional $1200 to repair the engine. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000. Updated12/6/lj.

We replaced the spark plugs & air filter on our 2007 Honda Fit about a month ago and right after replacing these items the check engine light came on so we had a mechanic pull the code & he stated that one of the spark plugs was loose so it was tighten & the light went off. Now the light is back on so we took it to the Honda dealership & was informed that we need to replace the catalytic converter & that it is not covered on our warranty. We don't understand how a catalytic converter could have already gone bad. Honda is wanting us to pay them over $1,300 to replace it. . . . We believe this to be a rip off and need some answers!!! we are still making monthly payments on this vehicle & now they want us to spend that kind of money on a repair that is not our fault. I am seriouly considering take the vehicle back to the dealership & telling them to keep it!.

Vehicle was fine when new. After approximately 45,000 miles the vehicle began stalling after a cold start up. Vehicle would start fine but then stall after a stop as at an intersection. This would occur on any cold engine start-up. The normal pattern would be you would come to a stop at an intersection and the engine would be idling fine. However, when you stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle would just start to move into the intersection and the engine would stall leaving you dangerously stranded in traffic. After the stall the engine would restart. This has not resulted in an accident yet but there have been some close calls. Car seems dangerous to drive in traffic until it is warmed up. No check engine light ever occurred. Problem was reported to a Honda dealer who told us "fits have no drivablity problems. " dealer service people drove car, but only when it was "warmed up" and could not find a problem. As there were no trouble codes they said there was no problem. Stalling continues and worsens with time. I have called american Honda to request help with this but it is not resolved. I have read of many other owners of 2007 Fits having the exact same issue but few seem to know what to do to fix it.
