ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 21, 2017 AND ON DECEMBER 25, 2017 (AT APPROXIMATELY 5:20 PM EASTERN TIME), THE ENGINE OF MY 2010 HONDA FIT ACCELERATED RAPIDLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY OR SUBURBAN STREET. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS NOT TRYING TO INCREASE THE CAR'S SPEED BY PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE CAR'S CLUTCH AND PUTTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE AT A HIGH SPEED AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL.

IF YOU APPLY YOUR BRAKES HARDER THAN GENTLE, THE BRAKES WILL FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SKIPPING. YOU ALMOST NEED TO STOP APPLY THE BRAKES BEFORE IT GOES AWAY. I'VE OWNED A HONDA ACCORD 1993 FOR OVER 20 YRS AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS. IF I KNEW WHAT I KNOW TODAY, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA!

DAY1: I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX-L SEDAN WITH MILEAGE OF 95-100K. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-MPH (BEST GUESS-TIMATE), THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GREEN LIGHT NEXT TO DRIVE (D) BEGAN FLASHING AND VSA INDICATOR WAS LIT TOO; VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE A BIT JERKY SHIFTING. TOOK IT INTO HONDA AND THEY CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID, AS WELL AS REPLACED THE 3RD GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. DAY 3: I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SYMPTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY FLUCTUATING WILDLY / READING TOO LOW OR ZERO VALUES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A COMPUTER UPDATE, CLEARED ERROR CODES, AND A 10-MIN TEST DRIVE DID NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. DAY4: WHILE GENTLY ACCELERATING TO 45-MPH, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE SPEEDOMETER ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO NEAR "ZERO". IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN-SHIFTED TO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO SCREECH (AS IF I HAD JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT I HAD NOT). THE ABRUPT DECELERATION OF MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME, WHO WAS ALSO ACCELERATING AND NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE (I IMAGINE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING OF BRAKE LIGHTS). THIS TIME, BEFORE RETURNING TO DEALERSHIP, I PERFORMED ONLINE RESEARCH AND WHEN I DID RETURN TO THAT DEALERSHIP, I SUGGESTED THEY CHECK THE ENGINE'S SPEED SENSOR. SURE ENOUGH, THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE SPEED SENSOR AND HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE (3 WEEKS NOW). I'M REPORTING NOW BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN THIS MALFUNCTION COULD OCCUR TO SOMEONE ELSE AND CAUSE THEIR VEHICLE TO BE REAR-ENDED. *TR

I DROVE MY CAR ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 70-79 BY ITSELF WITH MY ABS KICKING IN AT THE SAME TIME. NOT ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE. NEARLY CAUSING A PILE UP, I EXITED IMMEDIATELY TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TO PARK MY CAR. WITH TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME, I PROCEEDED INTO THE LOT, UP A HILL WHEN I COULD FEEL MY CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. WITH MY PASSENGERS IN DISBELIEF, I LIFTED MY RIGHT FOOT IN THE AIR SO THEY COULD SEE, MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 0-21 MPH BY ITSELF, UP A HILL. SCARED OUT OF MY MIND, I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND PARKED IT. I CONTACTED HONDA, TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY "HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE" AND THAT THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME LOOKING INTO SUCH A POSSIBILITY. A COUPLE DAYS LATER AFTER THEY BLAMED THIS ISSUE ON MY "THIRD PARTY FLOOR MATS" AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE THEM OUT OF MY CAR, I DID. I DROVE WITHOUT THE FLOOR MAT FOR TWO WEEKS, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS MY CAR ACTING UP AND NOT THE MATS. SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR ACTED UP 2 MORE TIMES IN THOSE TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNCH OF STOP LIGHTS. I WOULD BRAKE A LITTLE TOO EARLY & ATTEMPT TO COAST IN TRAFFIC TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I'D TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD FULLY ACCELERATE ALL BY ITSELF, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY BRAKES. SECOND OCCURRENCE, WAS WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR, TURNED IT ON, BUT NEVER PUT IT INTO GEAR OR EVEN SHUT MY DOOR, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING WITH RPMS UP IN THE "REDS". MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN A SECOND TIME, THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN BLAMING THESE PROBLEMS ON MY FLOOR MATS AND THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO SERVICE OR TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING AT ALL, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO FURTHER ENFORCE THAT THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE COMPUTERS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO ENGAGES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TRY TO MOVE WHEN ONLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS APPLIED. IF YOU PRESS THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T OCCUR HOWEVER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC YOU ALWAYS DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONLY PRESSING THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. *TR
