“Check engine light with Code P219A. Honda dealer performed a cylinder A/F Imbalance test and recommended that the Fuel injectors be replaced. This appears to be a common problem with Honda Fits. The injectors are just as bad the recalled 30520-5R0-013 injectors. Honda claims the 2018 vehicles do not have those injectors. I beleive this vehicle has the same defective 30520-5R0-013 injectors.”

“Misfire codes that indicate a bad fuel injection system, including issues with previous models for the same issue. My car was running very roughly and stuttering at high speeds. An independent garage confirmed that the car had bad fuel injectors at only 80,000 miles and it cost $950 to fix. I had 6 check engine lights appear from this issue. Honda refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 1 of 26 reports involved a crash and 5 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
