Continuing problem with 2007 Honda Fit automatic transmission hesitation to down shift at 2-5 mph, such as rolling stops at yield signs. When you step down on accelerator transmission seems to get confused and does not allow acceleration at all for 2-3 seconds. It is okay if completely stopped, but not from a rolling stop. This is very dangerous, and has almost caused an accident several times. The Honda dealer acknowledged that this was a defect, but Honda technical support said the Fit models all do it, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
