Three problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2013 Honda FIT. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Honda FIT based on all problems reported for the 2013 FIT.
The contact owns a 2013 Honda Fit. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine motor mount was fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 28,900.
Took 2013 Fit to dealer due to car noise underneath and car wanting to stall at stops, or while waiting for lights to change. Mechanic found debris/part of a feather on map sensor of which he kept. I was told that this rarely ever happens to Honda cars and warned that my extensive warranty that I purchased does not cover debris from roads. I am shocked to read that there are vents below the license plate holder near the road, wide enough to significantly expose the engine to damage from road debris such as a big rock, this causes road debris to enter and hit the a/c condenser only inches behind the opening. In my case, one week after taking my car to the dealer for stalling caused by map sensor debris I had a car accident. The front bumper fell off the Honda Fit and exposed 4 very large, although dead, intact birds next to my engine with many feathers, two on each side of the front bumper. The police office told me to contact Honda as they needed to be made aware of the problem. I called the dealership and they denied any responsibility. Told me that I can contact the national center for dispute settlement located in my car manual if I wanted. I am terrified to drive this car. Why hasn't Honda been forced to provide a grill cover or other form of protection?? I strongly feel that the Honda Fit 2013 is a very dangerous vehicle and may caused me many costly repairs. I hope someone hears me and addresses this problem before a fatal accident occurs. Additionally, I have pictures of the four large adult birds lying inside the front bumper of my car as evidence that Honda "must" address this issue as soon as possible.
Any time at low speed start off if left foot is just touching brake petal car will stall with no response in throttle position car stops! until the excel orator petal is backed off with foot and reapplied dealer said this happens and to drive with only one foot! this is very dangerious problem need recall!.
