Consumer Description

I WAS AT A RAMP METER ENTERING THE FREEWAY. I STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND AS I STARTED TO GET READY TO ENTER THE FREEWAY, MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION MID WAY. WHEN PRESSING THE GAS, MY CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE. I QUICKLY EXITED THE FREEWAY AND FOUND THAT THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHAT GEAR I AM IN SHOWED BOTH N (NEUTRAL) AND D (DRIVE) OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER. WHEN I STOPPED TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I SHIFT MY CAR TO D (DRIVE). IT ACTED AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I TURNED OFF AND TURNED BACK ON THE CAR AND TRIED AGAIN. I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO D BUT NO ACCELERATION. I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE MY CAR FROM THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC FOR THOSE WHO WERE EXITING THE FREEWAY. I AM LUCKY IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. AT THIS TIME, HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT SOMETHING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN. THE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE STATED THERE WAS NO WAY ANYONE WHO HAS WORKED ON MY CAR NOR THE OWNER WOULD HAVE KNOWN OR PREVENTED THIS. I RESEARCHED ISSUES WITH HONDA FIT 2015 AND FOUND "NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11309296." ALTHOUGH MY VIN DOES NOT SAY MY CAR HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL AS MY CAR WAS LIKELY MANUFACTURED DURING THE TIME FRAME STATED.
