Spark plugs blew out they were not torqued correctly. Honda knows and has known about this problem since at least july of 2016 (according the their technical service bulletins . Honda has not even sent out letters to customers that have these 2013 honda fits. I leased the car in april of 2014 in january 2017 while driving on the freeway it suddenly would not accelerate and I was almost hit by a semi. This is a safety issue
