Honda Fit Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Safety Report | Oct 12, 2007
Reported on Oct 12, 2007
| AT 6:00 PM LAST FRIDAY, I DROVE MY 2007 HONDA FIT OVER A LOW-LYING PARKING BARRIER LEFT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARKING LOT. UPON HITTING THE BARRIER, MY ENGINE RPMS WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT I HAD MY FOOT JAMMED ON THE BRAKE. TO AVOID CRASHING HEAD ON INTO A CONCRETE WALL, I TURNED AND HIT A PARKED CAR. MY OWN CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT WAS HIGH-SIDED ON ANOTHER, PROPERLY PLACED, PARKING BARRIER. THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED AND I AM NOT AWARE IF THE DEFECT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED OR REPAIRED. *JB | |
