Engine loses power after idling at traffic light or slowing to almost a stop in traffic. Doesn't matter whether engine is cold or warm. Engine still stays on but no response to pushing the gas pedal for a couple of seconds. Happens intermittent. Problem goes away for a few weeks then repeats. Worried accident might happen when turning at busy intersection.
2012 Honda Fit engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 honda fit. The contact was driving 50 MPH when the vehicle became resistant to acceleration attempts. The vehicle was shut off and restarted, but the engine stalled. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer but the failure could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the incident. The approximate failure mileage was 16,700.
My car engine does not respond to the accelerator when starting from a standstill with the steering wheel turned to the right or left. This has happened seven times in the 1300 miles I have driven the car. This abnormal condition has left me momentarily stopped in the middle of busy intersections. I find that if I am steering straight ahead, the vehicle will not malfunction but when it does happen, pressing the accelerator to the floor will cause the engine to respond, eventually. Honda should address this serious and potentially dangerous condition.
