Description of the problem	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.
