All vehicle warning lights came on specifically the check engine light for an emissions system problem. At the time the car had around 100,000 miles so it was suspected that the issue had to be with the battery, O2 sensors, or spark plug and ignition coil, so those parts were replaced. The vehicle still shows all the warning lights and reads codes for misfires in the first and second cylinder. If the issue with the fuel injectors was recalled and fixed for the 2015-2016 model Honda Fit, then it cant possibly be that the 2017-2020 Honda Fits also have a fuel injector problem, unless they also do and the issue has been neglected.

In February 2020, I was stopped at a stoplight and when the light turned green and I went to accelerate I heard cracking/ breaking sound and the car would not move forward or backward. I needed to have the car towed and was informed that the driver side axle had broken. In January 2021, nearly the exact same thing happened. I was stopped at a stoplight when the light turned green I went to accelerate I heard the same sound and the car would not move. I had the car towed I was informed that the passenger side axle had broken. The mechanic describe this axle as rusted around one area of the axel, what would normally be about the diameter of a quarter it was a small as the diameter of a pencil.

I was stopped at a stop sign, waiting to make a left turn, when I started making the left turn I felt and heard a loud bang. The vehicle would not accelerate but I was able to coast to the side of the road, put vehicle in park but it would still roll, I then applied the emergency brake. I then proceeded to call my son, he asked me what happened, I told him that I heard a loud bang & the vehicle wouldn't accelerate & the vehicle kept rolling after it was in park, he said it sounds like I had a broken axel I then called aaa. Aaa arrived & asked me what happened & if the vehicle rolled when put in park, I said yes it still rolled & the driver told me I had a broken axel. I had the vehicle towed to my son's garage, where he replaced the front passenger side axel, that indeed had snapped in half. This happened as I was turning onto busy rt 27 in sharon, MA. Now I'm worried that the drivers side axel could snap in half while I'm driving my vehicle.

The left cv axel snapped and was replaced, a week later the same issue, and now the power is no longer distributing correctly, seems to be caused by the way the axels are exposed to the enviorment and continuously snap, there was no excessive driving on the vehicle, it only travels a 10 mile radius in the city and I ve put easily $3000 into it in the last 3 months.

When accelerating from a stop, I heard a loud bang followed by a buzzing/grinding sound. The engine was still running but the car would not move forward or in reverse. The car was towed to my mechanic who told me the axel had snapped at the location of a vibration damper.

Front axle snapped.

The right axle rusted through and broke while I was stationary, waiting to make a left turn. The keft axle was also found to be very rusted.

Right rear axle broken. Less than two years ago the left rear ankle broke. This time vehicle was parked. Previous time car stopped at an intersection, then wouldn't move.

The passenger side axle snapped in two inside the rubber damper weight at its center. As Honda forums on the internet show, this is becoming more common as Fits age. The damper is held in place by only one stainless steel clamp ( at its lower end). Since water and salt can enter its upper end , without a clamp there, it stays in the space between the axle and damper and the corrosion begins. Even aftermarket manufacturers have diagnosed the problem and left the damper off their axles. When this break happened the vehicle was starting off from a stop and turning right on a city street.

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.

Driveshaft snapped. Replaced by dealer at considerable expense. Honda opened a case number #11878648, but refuses to pay or return calls.

Stopped at the rotary. Looked for clear traffic. Entered rotary. Loud metallic bang, no drive. Needed to use what little momentum I had to move from the inside left lane to the right side breakdown lane. Almost rear ended by a tailgating motorist. Called aaa for tow.

Driver's side axle broke resulting in complete loss of propulsion. Passenger side axle showing similar symptoms. Both axles had to be replaced to resume safe and normal function. Absolutely no warning, had regular maintenance done and just driven car cross-country (wv->wa) 2 weeks prior without incident. Car is 2011 Honda Fit with ~70k miles on it, regularly maintained at dealer and up until the incident I was completely satisfied with the vehicle. I have included the card from the spd with the incident number, the receipt from Honda of seattle for the work, the receipt for my payment, and a photograph of the old axles showing the break. I have retained them in case they would be relevant for investigative purposes and would be happy to turn them over. Incident occurred eastbound at 1st Ave s and yesler in downtown seattle while resuming forward motion from sitting at a stop light. . Read more...

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.

Broken or fractured passenger cv axel.

While on daily commute, transmission randomly started violently shaking for approx 1/8 mile and a loud bang occurred. I pulled over to the shoulder to visually inspect underside of vehicle but nothing was out of the ordinary. When shifting out of park, the vehicle was unable to continue driving forward or reverse regardless of revving engine.

One year ago an axle broke on my 2011 Honda Fit. I had it replaced. Today the other axle broke. I looked online and it appears this is not an uncommon problem. In both cases, it happened when I made a fairly hard u-turn and shifted into reverse to complete a three point turn. I'm assuming the extra force on the shaft had to do with having the wheels turned hard and then attempting to reverse them, perhaps while they were still moving. Regardless, this seems like something that shouldn't happen so easily on a car that's not that old.

The car has approximately 118,000 < miles. I was stopped at a red light that led to a highway. When the light turned green, I pressed the accelerator and heard a loud bang. The engine was running but the car did not move. I had the car brought to a Honda dealership. Upon their inspection, I was told both front axles were broken. According to the service rep, one axle disintegrated and the other had a noticeable crack in it. I requested the damaged components be saved for an investigation isn't this a safety concern? what if this happened while I was driving on the highway?.
