NHTSA Complaint #10450477 — 2007 HONDA FIT

AT AROUND 30,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING WHEN COLD. WE WOULD START THE CAR AND BEFORE YOU COULD SWITCH FROM PARK TO DRIVE THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. IT HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE EVER SINCE. WE NOW HAVE 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND NOW THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN PULLING FROM A STOP WHICH LEAVES US DANGEROUSLY EXPOSED IN INTERSECTIONS ON A REGULAR BASIS. IT SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE PROBLEM OF THE CAR IDLING AT TOO LOW OF AN RPM WHEN COLD, HOWEVER HONDA INSISTS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. WE HAD TAKEN IT TO HONDA A FEW TIMES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HONDA INSISTS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE NO ENGINE CODES ARE COMING UP. WE HAVE REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ALL IGNITION COILS AND THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. HONDA EVEN HAD THE CAR HOOKED UP TO THE COMPUTER WHILE IT STALLED AND STILL INSISTS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO WE WILL BE TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO SEE IF THE PROBLEM CAN BE PROPERLY DIAGNOSED. *TR
