I HAVE A 2010 HONDA FIT SPORT AUTOMATIC, PURCHASED NEW. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 5 MPH (I.E., GOING DOWN A SPIRAL RAMP, PARKING MY CAR INSIDE THE GARAGE IN MY HOME AND BEING IN EXTREMELY SLOW STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC) MY RIGHT FOOT IS ON AND OFF THE BRAKE. I DO NOT USE MY LEFT FOOT AT ALL IN DRIVING. FOUR TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR (FROM JULY 2010 TO JUNE 2011) DURING SUCH SITUATIONS THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND THE NEEDLE ON THE RPM DIAL WENT TO 4,000-5,000. I HAD TO STEP HARD WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM LURCHING FORWARD. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED ON JUNE 5, 2011 IN THE MIDDLE OF EXTREMELY SLOW STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. I HAD TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME AND WITNESSED THIS MOST SCARY AND DANGEROUS INCIDENT. I EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO THE MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ON 6/21/11. HOWEVER, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE A SUDDEN ACCELERATION SITUATION AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. MY ONLINE SEARCHES INDICATE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH PRIOR-YEAR MODELS OF THE HONDA SPORT. I AM CERTAIN THERE IS AN UNDISCOVERED PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, AND POSSIBLY OTHERS, WHICH REQUIRES INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA. *TR

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are P9M, PAV, BAY, TAX, CA0, and MAZ.
