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. *TR
