2019 Honda Fit

Intermittent problem with gas gauge going totally blue with no display of information. No prior problems. Recently started and have not been to dealer about it. To date, has not lasted more than 20 minutes before returning to normal, with all info displayed. Without that gauge, the possibility of running out of gas on interstate or other busy road is highly likely and very dangerous. Usually happen when I start car. There is no warning.

Engine light came on and it was brought to the dealership and I was told all fuel injectors need to be replaced and it wouldn't be under warranty. The car has 65,000 miles on which is just over warranty, but I should still not have had to replace these yet. There have been other problems with the fuel system with the fuel pump recall and they have extended the warranty on fuel injectors in other Honda vehicles, which leads me to believe this is a greater problem than just my car and it should still be covered by Honda.

November 2021 vehicle exhibits rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 13,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service center performs intake valve cleaning of carbon buildup and update to software under warranty. Within twelve months, October 2022, vehicle exhibits similar rough idle, multiple dashboard warning lights/messages come on with mileage at approximately 20,000 miles. Driver feels unsafe operating vehicle, concerned about engine stall during highway driving. Dealer service initiated again.

4 warning lights appeared 10/11/2022 (VSA, Engine, EPS and TPMS) The next day a local mechanic found code PO302. Misfire on cylinder no 2. Recommended take car to dealer for warranty work related to fuel injectors. Honda dealer found same code PO302 on 10/18/22 and instructed car needs a Walnut Blast, $700, not covered by extended powertrain warranty. The Honda Fit is known to have problems with fuel injectors, is at risk for stalling and the repair should be covered under the warranty.

My Fit was purchased in May of 2019. On October 2022, all warning lights (tpms, check engine, lane assist, etc) suddenly turned on when the vehicle was turned on. The car was taken to the same Honda dealer where it purchased and the service department determined the problem to be a cylinder misfire (P0303, cylinder #3). Since I immediately took the vehicle to be serviced, I was able to avoid a likely engine stall that other Fit owners have been experiencing. My vehicle has had all of its required and recommended maintenance performed on time at the same Honda dealer where it was purchased, including replacing the fuel pump at 15k miles and performing decarb service at 20k miles. Even though my Fit was maintained to the exact specifications Honda required, the car still had this fuel system failure which the service department was unable to explain nor were they willing to comp despite having an extended warranty (also purchased at dealer). This error code is the same problem that triggered a service bulletin on all previous model years which Honda covered but has not done so for this model year. I spoke with Honda Customer Service department (1-800-999-1009, option 1, 6, 5) and their warranty department but neither were willing to help because it was beyond the 3yr/36k coverage and was not covered by the extended warranty.

July 21, 2022: Honda Fit would not start while away from home. It was taken to a repair shop for a few days but staff couldn't find a cause. It was able to start later on. August 1, 2022: Honda Fit quit functioning while in rush hour traffic. Breaks locked and I was unable to safely pull over. Had to drive into a hilly area while in neutral in order to stop car. In both incidents there was no prior notification from the car to indicate an issue.

We brought the car in for the recall. The day before the check engine/emissions light came on. The dealer says that the charcoal canister has gas, oil and water in it, and that it is not covered by the warranty, They also will not replace the fuel pump. Our car is garaged, never been in an accident, not driven through deep water. Please help.
