Hey all! First time posting here despite browsing the forums a lot. Anyways, as the title says, I believe I snapped the CV axle. Was on my way home and I accelerated a tad hard from a stop sign. Heard a loud bang and the car stopped moving. Speedometer was stuck at 20 miles an hour, no warning lights. Loud grinding noise when I put it in park so I'm just using the emergency brake. Just kinda sat there for a while processing what had just happened. A guy helped me get my Fit off to the side of the road (thank you wherever you are) and I just waited for help to arrive. Wasn't too far from home. Neighbors helped me get my car home.

​​​​​​Are these symptoms of the CV axle snapping? Will Honda replace it under the recall free of charge? Is there any chance I'll be provided with a loaner?

 

Take a look underneath at the CV axles. If it's snapped you will be able to tell pretty quickly. It could be a complete transmission failure too, but I don't want to scare you lol.

 

Just received my recall notice from Honda for my daughter FIT Sport. Unfortunately, the axle snapped about 3 years ago and I replaced the rusted axle. Since I did the work myself, I don't have a bill for the repair except for two brand new axles. They will not reimburse me for the repair, even though I kept the snapped axle as a souvenir. I asked how about giving me two new Honda axles for the axles I paid for. Nope.

We got her the Fit for free because the brother-in-law of my sister-in-law was using the Fit as an Uber vehicle and he thought the transmission blew up.
