Consumer Description

ROUGH IDLING AND STALLING. TRIED LOTS OF THINGS TO FIX: TUNE UP, REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED, REPLACED CLUTCH, VALVE ADJUSTMENT -- NOTHING FIXED IT. DEALERSHIP NOW SAYS A SPRING IN THE ENGINE'S VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEM HAS FAILED. PROBLEM CAUSES INCREASED RISK OF COLLISION. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2009/2010 MODELS, BUT NONE FOR 2008. HONDA FIT RECALL #11V101000, R66. SAME PROBLEM. RECALL DATE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. *TR
