1 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2015 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 02/05/2020

I was on the freeway and my vehicle started acting strange-it was having difficult accelerating and felt bumpy. I was able to exit off of the freeway. The vehicle stopped moving and would not engage into gear. I could not drive or reverse the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed to a Honda dealership. They drained and inspected the fluid to find metal debris in magnet that looked like cvt belt parts. They said the cvt belt broke transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. I found the NHTSA recall reference number 15v574000. The description of the defect is that software settings that control the transmission operation may result in damage to the transmission drive pulley shaft. I was told that my VIN is not a part of this recall. My vehicle is just outside of warranty at about 72,000 miles but less than 5 years old. I was asked to pay a portion towards the transmission replacement.

2 Transmission Not Go Into Gear problem of the 2010 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 08/21/2019

My front passenger side cv axel failed a year ago. Miraculously it happened in the parking lot of a service station who then did the repair so I didn’t need a tow. It just happened again. When I got towed I was told that they are towing Honda Fits regularly so it is likely due to a design problem. Luckily I had just made a left turn into a business parking lot from a busy business street (vt state highway 302) when the car stopped moving and I could not get it into gear. It would have been really dangerous if it failed at higher speed and/or in the middle of a on busy road.
