Honda Fit sport :engine warning light stays on for weeks then turns off unexpectedly then back on again since about August 2014. I completed the 120,000 mile recommended service at the Honda dealership near where I was at the time but the engine light came back on then off again intermittently regardless of the service. Not sure if it is related to the engine surge I am worried about now (March 2015) accompanied by my paddle shifters not working while in d mode. I experienced this when accelerating at 20mph and again at 35mph my engine had high rpms the engine sounded like it surged and made a thud as though the engine would fall out of my car. I was really nervous to continue driving in stop and go traffic as each time I accelerated it happened again at 20 mph. At my destination for two hours I then drove home with some hills and winding roads and put my car in s mode to see if paddle shifters would work or reset in some manner, which it did start working. The surging ceased to happen in s mode so I decided to shift into d mode to see if paddle shifters would work properly and they did as I continued to drive home forty minutes. The orange engine light is still on and paddle shifters seem to be working in both s and d mode now wondering what to get checked out. Since I spent all that money on the major service and was told the car should work well for the next 150,000 it's now near 148,000 miles I want to know whether I can count on the paddle shifters or if they will fail me again. The engine warning light usually turns off once I get an oil change and reset it has remained on. I don't know if a diagnostic will reveal anything or if I should just get the paddle shifters checked. I use the paddle shifters a great deal while in d mode over the past eight years I have owned the car since I bought it new I am the original owner and only person driving the vehicle.
The vehicle would stall when comes to a complete stop - this has happened at numerous occasion. A lot of other same vehicle owners have confirmed this as well (this started at around 45k miles). Also, the engine would give a vibrating noise now when the car is started. All oil changes and maintenance were done according to the user manual but these issue still arise from normal light driving condition.
