This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the front camera located on the windshield became inoperable. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated with a beeping sound coming from the vehicle. The contact stated that the front camera failed to function properly. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the camera unit and the aiming driving support had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,419.
The fuel gauge and odometer digital display goes blank, when it comes back on the numbers are not clear. It does not happen every time I start the car but is something that concerns me. It was first observed January 24, 2026. The safety issue would be not knowing how much gas I have. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There were no no warning lights or messages prior to the malfunctioning.
The instrument cluster displaying the odometer, gas gauge, fuel economy flickers and goes dark primarily in cold weather
Car only has 91,000 miles and code P219A is popping up but Honda wont cover it because its the "wrong" code even though they cover fuel injectors under misfire codes.
The dashboard display fuel gauge is back lit but won’t actually work.
The fuel gauge and odometer digital display goes blank, when it comes back on it is showing scrambled numbers and letters. It doesn't do it all the time however it is getting more frequent.
Multiple engine lights turned on at the same time: brake system warning, ACC problem, Auto High beam problem, Road mitigation system problem, LKAS problem. Lights turned on this past week. UNKNOWN cause. Went to official Honda dealership, oil was changed and given a multi-point inspection. Everything showed as Satisfactory, except for front brakes that showed as May require future attention. Battery test was fine and the sensors were cleaned. However, the engine lights still show. I do not feel safe driving my car, given the red solid warning of the brake system and multiple other problems. I am unable to drive car late a night due to the high beam problem, this all poses a safety concern to me and the other drivers on the road.
Dashboard instruments panel showing fuel in tank does not work in cold weather. Do not know when gas tank is near empty. The rest of the display in that part of the dashboard also not working in cold weather (below 50 degrees F.
Started the car this morning and received 5 warning messages: Auto High-Beam Problem Road Departure Mitigation System Problem Collision Mitigation System Problem Lane Keeping Assist Problem Adaptive Cruise Control Problem Car has ~34,000 miles and is in pristine condition. I am guessing this is a failure with the camera system
Vehicle has less than 16k miles over 6 years of ownership. One day, upon starting the car, multiple warning lights, including check engine light, appeared. Dealer stated after diagnostic that issue is due to misfire in one cylinder due to carbon buildup. This is a known issue with this model, and several repair bulletins have been made about this specific issue. Certain VINs were given an extended warranty to fix this problem, but despite having this exact issue and my VIN being mentioned in the repair bulletin, my car is not covered, forcing me to pay out of pocket for this known issue. Car is deemed not safe to drive by dealer until issue is remedied.
Purchased new 2019 Honda FIT. Had to have injectors replaced at dealership due to issues at 18,000 miles. At 19,743 miles started having driving issues with unusual jumping during driving/idling. Honda dealership diagnosed as misfire with excessive carbon buildup. Completed carbon cleaning procedure though only temporary repair. American Honda reviewing matter reference #4411584. Issues returned at 40,308 miles with same issues ( all lights going off on dash, carbon buildup in injectors). completed carbon cleaning at dealership. At 44,831 same lights went off again, carbon buildup seen, faulty injectors replaced at dealership. Issues continued at 56,649 where carbon cleaning took place again for issue at dealership. at 86,606 check engine lights returned with jumping, faulty injectors replaced again and a cleaning was performed at dealership. at 113,791 miles, issues came up again. Dealership cleaned again with carbon cleaner. American Honda contacted again after last dealership visit #15755510 with American Honda rep stating there is no solution at this point per Honda engineers.
My vehicle has difficulty starting and sometimes won't even start at all, the motor is irregular/jumpy, and the check engine light and steering wheel light have come on. After getting a diagnostics run at AutoZone the computer indicates it's a fuel pump issue. A second opinion with a mechanic also confirmed it was the fuel pump. After further research I see that the 2019 Honda Fit had a recall for Fuel Pumps. However, my specific VIN does not qualify for a recall. Honda needs to further investigate and expand the number of vehicles that were affected by this faulty fuel pump. I've been left stranded numerous times and fear that the vehicle may stall while driving, putting myself and other drivers on the road at risk.
The fuel pump is malfunctioning. The car struggles to start and when it does start the engine is erratic and the check engine light and steering wheel light come one. I’ve taken the car to AutoZone for a diagnostic test and the computer showed it was a fuel pump issue. I got a second opinion with a mechanic who confirmed the same thing. The car has left me stranded multiple times when it doesn’t start and I fear that the car my stall while driving putting me and other drivers at risk. I researched my issue and there is indeed a recall out for faulty fuel pumps for the Honda Fit 2019. However, my specific VIN number does not qualify for the recall. Honda needs to investigate and expand the number of vehicles that were impacted. Clearly my vehicle is suffering from the same issue and I can’t get it fixed at the dealership due to my VIN not qualifying.
A glitchy and/or blank main display often fails to show important information such as fuel level, odometer, etc., especially in colder weather. Driving with an inoperative display can increase the risk of being stranded somewhere without fuel.
All warning lights cycle through on vehicle dashboard after turning on vehicle. Vehicle was taken to Honda Auto Service Center, where issue is diagnosed as Carbon Buildup, causing misfires. Error Diagnostic Code is one of P0300 - P0304. After maintenance, error clears out. However, there is a Honda Service Bulletin 23-042 which provides a warranty extension for Honda Fits of the same year, make, and model with the same issue, which my vehicle's VIN was not included as eligible. Issue of carbon buildup causing misfires may apply to other VIN ranges than in that bulletin, as accounted by NHTSA ID #11462041, #11490506, #11549767, and #11593466
The check engine light came on. The vehicle was shaking/sputtering when idling. We took it into the dealership and they said we needed to replace the fuel injectors, despite the vehicle not even having 60,000 miles on it.

A police report was not filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
