Honda Fit Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Feb 01, 2007
Reported on Feb 01, 2007
CONTINUING PROBLEM WITH 2007 HONDA FIT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HESITATION TO DOWN SHIFT AT 2-5 MPH, SUCH AS ROLLING STOPS AT YIELD SIGNS. WHEN YOU STEP DOWN ON ACCELERATOR TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO GET CONFUSED AND DOES NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION AT ALL FOR 2-3 SECONDS. IT IS OKAY IF COMPLETELY STOPPED, BUT NOT FROM A ROLLING STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. THE HONDA DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A DEFECT, BUT HONDA TECHNICAL SUPPORT SAID THE FIT MODELS ALL DO IT, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. *AK | |
