problem with my Honda Fit
I bought a used 2015 HF from a dealer. I loved it, drove it daily. No problems.
Then, one day I drove to get gas, and it did not restart. It has since happened routinely. Dealer changed out battery. Did not help.Unless I drive the car every day, the battery goes dead. Something is draining the battery. Has this happened to anyone else? Any Idea? The dealer has the car right now. Elfie

A used 2015 Honda Fit, already? How often do you drive your car? How far do you drive it? Do you have any aftermarket products like a new audio system that would drain the battery? Has anyone checked out the alternator? Keep us posted on what the dealer says and good luck!

I have only owned the car for 2 months. I do not have a problem if I drive the car every day. Let it sit for more than 2 days, it is dead. Has new battery. something is draining the battery when the car is not running.

I doubt you have another bad battery but they can easily test that. It is likely a parasitic drain. For example, 200 mA for 7 days would be 34 Ahr and wipe out that small battery. They will make sure all devices are off, disconnect the negative cable and place an ammeter between the battery post and cable. It should read 50 milliamps or less, even as low as 10 mA. Lower is better. If is reads high, they will disconnect each fuse or relay one at a time until the current drain is normal. That will show them which circuit/device is drawing excess current. Some circuits stay alive for awhile and they will have to wait until they shut off to get an accurate measurement.

I would check for any phone chargers, self dimming mirrors, stereo or related auxiliary
stuff for stereo's, dealer installed cruise control, alarm systems.
is dat car running aftermarket anything? I would check that first.
to answer your question, no, I've owned 4 fits bought new, none had starting issues even in -10F.
