Well, I hope it ain't just me and someone can help me out or give me some referrals. I'd really appreciate it.

I bought my 2011 Honda Fit Sport less than 2 weeks ago. The odometer reads 500+.

The problem is whenever I brake (20mph+) and begin to coast to a complete stop, before it stops it jerks. Also, I noticed that whenever I'm going under 10-15mph (traffic) the car will suddenly kick itself to 0-5mph, and when I give it a little gas it jerks back up to what it was. I know it's not just me, because I had my girlfriend drive it and she's been noticing it too.

I took it to the dealership, and the tech who serviced my car told me that a lot of people have been complaining about this. He said that this is normal due to all the torque the fit has. He said that it will begin to fade when I reach 3-4,000 miles. Told him that I don't want it to fade, I want it to be gone because it is gradually getting worse. He wrote on the service paper that there was no detection of an issue with the brakes, which is BS.

Someone please help me, thank you.

 

first off: it's "brake"

second, that's a creepy issue... check the pads themselves to make sure they're not separating, and check all torque values on the struts, brake caliper and brackets, and ball joints...

 

Just take it back to the dealer. It's all covered... or should be since its brand new!

 

Brake! Got it! Thanks!

 

Sorry, just thought that was funny.

Is your Fit manual or automatic?
