2007 Honda Fit acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My husband was backing up our honda fit in the driveway. He put the car in reverse and while he was backing up it made a terrible grinding sound. He put his foot on the brake and then put the car into drive. Before he even moved his foot over to the accelerator pedal, the car accelerated so fast that it left skid marks on the driveway. He put his foot back on the brake and the car didn't stop. He put the emergency brake on and the car didn't stop. The car crashed through our fence at which point he put the car into park and it came to a screeching halt.
Applying the foot brake to stop the vehicle, engine RPM started to increase to the point where the brake would not bring the vehicle to a stop. Vehicle proceeded into the intersection. Dealer found that the high end of the idle control was not properly trained. Dealer accomplished the training. Unknown at this time if it will solve the problem.
