I suppose the same thing would happen with a stalling Honda as happened with the Chevy's. Lose power, lose control, (although Honda's are not as un-wieldy as GM products), no airbag. Honda better get on the stick about this.

You realize Honda recalling them is them taking care of it, right?

Your hatred for Honda/its dealerships is silly.

Thought we sent you back to the old Fit forum..

Taking care of it slowly. Not fast enough if someone dies. And unless you are a dealership, which you are not...remember a couple years ago, you said you only drove mommy's Mitzu, you would know that Honda dealerships have taken a nose dive in honesty.

What?

I've owned a Fit of some sort for all but 4 months of the last four years.

I've only driven my own cars (or my friend's/wife's/etc.) and my Mom has never owned a Mitsubishi (I have though).

Also, no one has died/been injured as far as Honda knows:

"The good news is that Honda knows of no such accidents or associated injuries. The company says that the problem was identified through warranty-covered service provided to vehicles outside the U.S."
