What you DONT like about your Fit
#3001
Warning lights are off and I was told that I should have the fuel injection cleaning done every 20,000-25,000 miles to prevent this from happening again.
This is NOT a recommended service on the maintenance schedule for a Honda Fit. I wasn't given a clear answer as to why this carbon buildup happened.
My brother in law has owned several Honda Fits and only had to have the oil changed and brakes done.

idling
My honda fit drops idling to an extent that it wants to cut can often cut when stopping at a red light. after starting and, engaging Drive it takes takes time to pick and jerks hard before it accelerates. what could be the problem.
#3003
probably worth its own thread. Include as much as you can about the problem including: mileage, avg mpg, oil change frequency, year, services done up to this point, etc
#3004
I agree. That problem is worthy of its own thread. You'll get much more detailed help with a new thread. Please include the year of your Fit too. Good luck with this.

Did you really state that all warning lights were on? It doesn't make sense to me that TPMS, or any of the abs or traction lights would be on. And there is no such things as "electric power system lights." I think there is a "charging system indicator" light that goes on if the alternator or regulator stops charging the battery and an "electric power steering system" light. But with a carboned up engine I would think that only the "malfunction indicator lamp" (MIL, commonly called a "check engine light"") should be on. There would be no reason for any other warning lights to go on.
Flashing TPMS, VSA OFF, ABS and Powersteering lights
Found a picture of it illuminated:

What don't you like about it? I think it's more than adequate, especially for a car of the fit's size. I also like the dynamic guide lines.

Honda saves a few not putting anything resembling actual carpeting on the floor, but does but 5mm thick insulating material that has a fuzzy surface on the top side that is supposed to look like carpet but fools no-one. OK if they want to skimp on carpeting, to save costs, and bring down selling price or increase profits, why did they spend money on putting absolutely useless red plastic things on each side of the rear window that resemble either lamps or reflector, but in actuality are neither lamps nor reflectors? For months I had assumed the were reflectors, but then I shone my flashlight on them and realized they were not actually reflectors. Anyone have any idea what it would cost to replace just one of those should it get cracked by a hailstone or a meteorite? Probably just as much as a reflector would cost – except it isn't actually a reflector. Why? They could have spent a few pennies more on each and made them be actual relfectors, or they could have saved a few dollars on each and put nothing there. Or made the rear window 25 mm wider on each side.

Perhaps it has already been mentioned, but my 2018 Fit EX, 6 speed, has a rough ride. I was coming from a 2010 Ford Focus (not a luxury car by any means), but my Focus had a much better ride.
I am exaggerating, but it seems like I can feel a grain of sand if I run over it. I have a little over 12,000 miles and running the recommended tire pressure.
What has others done to try to improve the ride? I will swap out the tires, but not until they have a lot more wear.

I compare my 16' EX to my 08' CRV, and the CRV feels like a caddy or Acura compared the the Fit. I think I have worn struts/strut bearings up front(being replaced this weekend), because I can't stand the front end "knock" over any type of bumps from 5-35mph... If I replace the front struts and all and it's still like it is, next year I will be trading it in for a 19' or Civic. Or trade both in for a newer CRV... I like my Fit though otherwise.

I’ll definitely let you know how it goes. I’m praying to the car Gods the KYB struts, and Honda parts stop the shinanigans lol.

The most annoying feature in my GK5 Jazz is the sun reflecting from top of the dashboard to windscreen. The plastic used on dashboard is way too shiny. Also the front seat bulky headrests force the head stay too front and prevent having the comfortable head position. That is literally causing me headache.
