Total Under Hood Failure

Hi i own a 2013 honda fit sport 5 speed manual, 70k miles and constant upkeep. Im not the best with cars but I for sure have engine runoff, radiator leaking with air in hose, failed master cylinder for both braking and clutch, failing alternator, air in brake lines, one cracked CV boot and and front Axle but WAS NOT HIT, also the steering column shakes really really bad, wheel shakes over 30, and finally really loose steering when trying to take turns. I pressurize tires 4+ times a week.

Ive checked all grounds and connectors and cleaned all plugs, checked filters and thermos, but Im guessing some of those are probably busted too...

Car was in good condition, I parked and was looking over it from where I was sitting, and no one ever hit it, no hard bumps, and it was parked in that spot for 2 hours.

Ive honestly never seen this happen to anyones car and am perplexed at how my entire car just died basically...

That sounds very serious and unfortunately I have no idea what to suggest.

However I found it very weird that you said you pressurize tires 4+ times a week.

What does that even mean?

Do you drive 300 miles a day, or track you Fit daily to warrant such often pressure checks?



I only drive about 20 miles a day and maybe 100 miles / weekend and I am fine checking my tire pressures once a month. In the winter I just pump them to 40 PSI on a day that's slightly above freezing and then they're fine for 2-3 months of complete freezing without ending underinflated.
In my opinion anything below 32 PSI is very under-inflated.

There's no possible way all that stuff can just up and go bad all at once. Sounds like your car is in terrible condition and shouldn't be driven until repaired.

I have a 2013 fit sport 5 speed with 48k on it bought it new and Had the clutch master,slave cylinder, clutch and suspension all shit the bed at the same time. definitely not the Honda quality I'm used to. It's the first car I've ever had the clutch fail before 100k miles as well.

Sorry, I'm assuming maybe there is a language barrier problem.
But I don't really understand several of your statements.

I have no idea what "Engine Runoff" is...
Why anyone would "Pressurize their tires 4+ times a week"...

And are you suggesting this all just immediately happened? After being parked untouched for 2 hours?

Because yes, that type of deterioration, doesn't happen all at once, all of a sudden.
Those are mechanical breakdowns that happen over time and usage.

You also say, good condition, constant upkeep...but???
Those things are not indicative of a vehicle that is in good condition, or has been kept up with constant upkeep.

But what can you do?
Either fix or trade in, or sell.
The choice is yours.

You all are missing the other possibility...troll.

One post count and it's absurd. Hence my absurd reply.
