1 Transmission Failure problem of the 2015 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 05/12/2020

I bought a 2015 Honda Fit. It has 23,000 miles and it is out of the 5 year warranty. The transmission has failed and Honda refuses to accept blame for a faulty transmission installed at the factory. My car is not the only one with this problem. Honda is aware of this and still allows an unsafe car to be driven without recalls or warnings. Honda wanted almost $ 5,000 to repair this , but the local transmission shop gave me an estimate of $1754 for a used 2017 transmission. . .

5 Transmission Failure problem of the 2015 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 07/13/2017

While driving on an interstate at a steady highway speed, I lost all control to accelerate. The vehicle had to be coasted to the shoulder to avoid the potential for an accident. Auto dealer confirmed the transmission had failed catastrphically and that a new transmission would be needed for the vehicle. The dealership also stated that I, as the consumer did nothing to contribute to this event - they could not explain how it could have happened so early on. The vehicle was well-maintained. At the time of this writing, it is currently owned for only 2. 5 years and has 80,000 miles of which 90% are highway miles. The car was towed under owner's car insurance-provided roadside assistance. The repair process is not yet complete and thusdocumentation can and will be provided later if needed,.

6 Transmission Failure problem of the 2008 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 02/08/2016

Check engine light came on, transmission "d" light on, shifting roughly. The car was in motion on city streets when this happened. Diagnostic codes run: p0756 and p0847. Diagnostics run per Honda service news article "hard or delayed shifting with a/t dtcs p0756 and p0847" transmission fluid was drained. It showed that it did have debris in the fluid. That means, according to Honda, that the transmission must be replaced. The car is unsafe to drive in this condition as the transmission could fail at any time. Since this is a known defect, reported by Honda, Honda should have extended the power train warranty past the original 60,000 miles to cover this. (mine had 75,000 miles at the time this happened. ) I contacted the local Honda dealership and was told they are not authorized to offer any kind of discount on the replacement of the transmission. I called Honda's corporate office and was told that there is no official recall or extension of warranty, but some cost reduction is offered in cases where: 1. The customer is a repeat customer who has owned multiple Hondas 2. The car was purchased at a dealership 3. The customer has spent enough money at the dealership (for service etc) to consider them a good Honda customer. I did not Fit this criteria. The guy at the corporate office said that I could have the car towed to the dealer, have the diagnostics run again, at my expense, and ask for a discount, but because I do not meet the 3 criteria above, I might not receive enough of a discount to even cover the extra cost of taking it to the dealership to have the diagnostics run a second time. He also told me that if Honda were to extend the warranty or do a recall in the future, it would apply retroactively to my car, whether I have the work done at the dealer or at another mechanic. (I'm having the work done at another mechanic. ).
