I'm having cycling humming/buzzing on highway speed on my Honda Fit 2016 CVT, I removed the driver cv axel and that's what I found, metal deposits on the end joint splint!, it protrude on the smooth side of the spline.
this is my first time to buy Honda and it will be the last time.

its a cycling on/off noise, the cycle goes faster as faster the car goes, it happens only 65-80 mph.
there's no discoloration, its a metal deposit (most likely Aluminum) protruded on the splint, I could peal off that metal with a flat screwdriver.
The reason I'm asking is all of this damage was done by a spiteful person (people) for unknown reasons. If the owner knew repo was imminent, they could have inflicted damage deliberately for fraudulent reasons (insurance). Including "joyriding", which could have damaged the suspension?
we thought about that, all the bolts shows no sign of being removed before.
we did alignment after we purchased it.
I agree, the purpose of this post is a-express my frustration, b-raise the awareness that Honda didn't master the CVT transmission yet.

Hey, I feel sorry for the OP, and hope they resolve their problem(s).
But the original post, conveniently leaves out the fact that this is a salvaged titled vehicle, bought at auction.
Really, IMO if you buy a vehicle at auction, in that type of "gamble" situation, all bets are off.
There really is no way of knowing the abuse that vehicle might of been exposed to.
So to Blame Honda? Doesn't really seem fair.
This is ONE vehicle that was sold at salvage auction...so NOT indicative of the quality or experience I think most REALLY NEW Honda Fit owners experience.

So this is the end that goes in the transmission right? I dont see how it means the transmission is at fault?
In relation to your 95 corolla, I had a 99 civic with M/T with 265k original miles. Basic routine maintenance only. Would be closer to 300k now if some A_holes didn't steal it. Anyways...I digress.
Is this a 2015? I hope you get a chance to take it to the dealer. Maybe the axle shaft is bad? If it is a 2015 then maybe this is an issue others simply have not noticed or have a good enough ear to notice.
Have you removed the metal shavings to see if that eliminated the noise you were experiencing?
