While driving on a limited access divided highway at 65 mph, using adaptive cruise control, the car suddenly applied maximum braking to about 30mph. There were no cars or other objects in front of our car. There was a car behind who was luckily able to swerve around our car. The conditions were light drizzle, damp road, 50 degrees, at 2:30 in the afternoon. After contacting Honda ,I was told that I should read page 472 of the owners manual that states to turn off the cmbs in bad weather. (this manual is not supplied with the car. Only a150 page manual is supplied and page of the manual says nothing about any limitations of this system.

Fuel injectors failed at 104,000 causing a $2k+ repair. Routine maintenance was followed per the manual. The push button start also failed at the same time. I believe these issues speak to the poor build quality at the plant in mexico and represent a small portion of the issues inherent in this vehicle.

Supplemental restraint system indicator (srs) sensor is lit on dashboard of my 2012 Honda Fit and will not go off. I purchased this car brand new in June 2012. Has been on constantly while driving since may 25, 2016. Today is may 30, 2016. After researching this problem, I discovered I am not alone as many other Honda owners have reported experiencing this exact same problem. Owners manual says that the srs light means there is a problem ranging from seat belt buckle tension to the side and curtain airbags harness restraints. Research also states that air bags will not activate during accidents while this srs is lit. Something Honda left out of owners manual. Another problem I read reports about from other Honda owners, after having their srs light checked by a Honda dealer, was this could mean a defective occupant position sensor and is very costly to replace. Also found during research that there is a campaign against Honda for the recall of the defective occupant position sensor. Don"t know if this srs light problem has anything to do with the current takata airbag recall, but would be very interested to know if there was a link. I will be taking my car to the Honda dealer where purchased ASAP to have my srs light problem checked. In the meantime I certainly hope no one runs into me.

This car stalls if driven in cold weather when engine is still cold. When shifted into neutral (manual transmission), say, approaching a traffic light, the engine shuts off, generally when car is still in motion. This has happened at speeds ranging near stopped to 45 mph. It has been happening for about a year, mostly in colder weather. Stalling does not create an error in the computer log, so it looks like it's not happening when taken in for repair.

The vehicle would stall when comes to a complete stop - this has happened at numerous occasion. A lot of other same vehicle owners have confirmed this as well (this started at around 45k miles). Also, the engine would give a vibrating noise now when the car is started. All oil changes and maintenance were done according to the user manual but these issue still arise from normal light driving condition.
