I just did my scheduled maintenance at 108K miles which included spark plugs. The number 2 spark plug was LOOSE. So that's definitely a thing. If I ignored it for much longer it may have become a problem. That being said this car is by far the greatest vehicle I have ever owned. I've owned 10 passenger vehicles in my lifetime.

I bought a brand new '09 Fit Sport (manual transmission) in October of '08, so likely one of the first 500 of this generation purchased in Canada. I rang up 312,000 kms (about 195,000 miles) over the following 10-1/2 years before gifting it to our daughter. She's still driving it and it now has around 350,000 kms racked up in total. I had none of the five issues listed in this video, but I did have the following snags in chronological order: 1. First problem was the paint. It just seemed too fragile, scratching very easily. Mine was the dark metallic blue shade that Honda referred to as "vivid blue". 2. At 153,000 kms (about 96,000 miles) the alternator died. Car was out of warranty but only three years old at that time, so aftermarket parts were not yet a thing for these cars. We were still at the mercy of Honda for most stuff. I called Honda. Replacement new alternator was priced at almost $1300 taxes in. I almost fell out of my chair. I didn't recall seeing "Porsche" stamped anywhere on the outside of that alternator - only Mitsubishi. A friend who knew a starter/alternator dealer did some online research and found a non-Honda-sourced identical new alternator for $460, so I bought that one and installed it myself. 3. At 200,000 kms the oil pressure sender sprung a leak. Replaced with new one, quick and inexpensive, ie:

Like another Fit owner describes in a comment below, I also solved the tailgate handle problem by spraying WD40 on the pin which the handle rotates around. The handle works great now!! On the axles, I benefited from a recall; they replaced both axles for no charge. I have not experienced the other issues (spark plugs were replaced a few months ago).

@Pinetree282 Жыл бұрын

Obviously if spraying WD-40 up and around the hinge works, great. But they do get so rusted and cruddy, that doesn’t work. Tried it multiple times. Just last week I switched out the back latch on my 2010 Honda Fit after watching a few KZfaq videos and ordering a $15 latch. Pretty easy and now works great! Hardest part is getting the plastic coverings off without breaking the little plastic connectors. Helps if it’s warm out. If cold, I’d run a hair dryer on it or somehow warm up the plastic.

Use Fluid Film on the latch. Drench it every year or so and any corrosion or seizing will be a thing of the past.

My #2 plug on our '09 Fit Sport with 118K miles got loose on a Sunday during vacation trip. Fortunately a Honda dealer fixed it first thing Monday AM. We still lost $150 on event tickets Sunday, and the repair (all plugs and a coil pack replaced) was over $400. He did tell us we were lucky the plug hole threads were OK or the head would need replacement. Anyway we got home safe and since then the car's been good. But now I know this was a common problem with this car.

I bought a 2011 Fit S brand new. It currently has 220,000+ Miles. My #1 problem has been the fog lights catching rocks/debris on the highway and getting cracked! I have probably replaced each side 4 times! Last year I had the known issue with the electro magnetic A/C clutch. I found videos on here on how to repair so my brother and I attempted that ourselves. It is still blowing cold air a year later. Another common Fit issue I have experienced is the HVAC Fan Capacitor issue(where u lose 1 or more of your “Fan” Speeds) which was another easy fix. Other than those issues, which all were pretty easy fixes. This car is a tiny beast!

I was looking at a 2009 automatic honda fit that a guy was selling for his mom. He said she got 39 mpg, no matter how she drove it with that CVT transmission. People have said the automatics getter better gas mileage, because the manuals have such a low 5th gear in the Honda Fit models. They were saying the manuals run at 2800 rpm and the automatics only run at 2200 rpm, but I've never actually test driven one though.

Some good advice I wanna share. These are awesome little cars but unfortunately atleast in rust belt Alberta they tend to rot out fairly quick in the undercarriage. I use seafoam deep creep and motorcycle chain lube. Wash out all the dirt and crud from underneath the car especially the back wheel wells. Let it all dry up. Spray everything. Deep creep for all the nooks and crannies. Everything else unload a few cans of chain lube. Helps if you know where to spray. I also take my door panels off and spray the inside of doors. Anywhere moisture or salt collect you wanna clean out and spray. I do this once a year. No worries about rust. The idea is to seal off the metal from the outside environment. I wanna keep my car nice for as long as it lasts.

There is a recall on the axle not being treated for rust. Having bought mine in Massachusetts it was covered by Honda at no charge. The car just would not go into gear and move. Axle was snapped into. The other big failure is the AC units. There was a class action suit because of the faulty compressors installed on the Fit. I fixed this problem by filling down the center part of the clutch and reinstalling. Been working for two years. The locks are a problem as well if you don't have remote option for unlocking the doors.

It's not a GM, it starts up every time you turn the key! Should be "the top five least problems".

Does the Honda Fit 2009-2013 have 1 or 2 02 sensors?

@lucyfuir6386 Жыл бұрын

I'm almost positive every car has at least 2 02 sensors One before the cat 1 after the cat

Spark plug blowout can be fixed with tap and inserts. It's time consuming (greasing the tap to pick up shavings, and vacuuming all the residual shaving) but it's definitely less time and cheaper than replacing your head.

D I have a 09 Honda Fit with just under 89000 miles. My check engine light is on, I have a P0171 code. So far I've spent over $2500 and the cel comes right back on with a P0171 code. The MAS has been cleaned, throttle body cleaned, front catalytic converter changed, intake gasket changed, egr valve changed, smoke test performed and no vacuum leaks found. Car runs good but my gas mileage has dropped. It's an automatic with a 1.5L engine. Any help or advice from anyone would be appreciated, I can't keep spending and getting no results. Are these bad cars? I bought it new and have taken great care of it. Thanks.

I just had the valve adjustment done on my 2011 Fit at the dealer. It sounds better, runs better, and is more peppy. If it hasn't been done in a while, it's probably due. They told me the valves were way off.

What kind of fuel trims do you have?? Short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim. I have the same problem with my car.

Has anyone had this problem with a Honda Fit?

@DominicMartinico5521 2 жыл бұрын

Need the valves adjusted. Very common with these cars. It’s routine maintenance that needs to be done. Shops will try and talk you out of it. Should be around $300

"problems". The only real issue I see here is the front axle. This reminds me of the "problems" on the 7th and 8th gen civics you guys did. It almost seems like you guys are grasping at straws here with these Hondas. lol. Do the 9th gen civics next. Can't wait to see the "problems" on those. haha
