Honda Fit problems, by model year and system
452 complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the Honda Fit 2016–2020, and the 2 systems the record is deep on — electrical (157), fuel system (131). Each system has a page across the years; 2 model-year pages go deeper still. Every figure is a linked federal record; none is a failure rate or a verdict on one car.

Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Honda Fit system draws the most complaints?
Electrical: 157 complaints across 5 model years, 35% of everything owners filed about the Honda Fit. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Honda Fit year has the most complaints?
2019 (136), 2016 (120), 2018 (117). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
