2001 Honda Civic vehicle speed control problems

“I am going down the road at 65mph and car loses all power, compression, speed... Starts shuttering, stuttering & shaking the car then it dies... It doesn't matter the conditions, whether I'm in city or on road... It does it anywhere and unexpectedly, never know when it's going to do it but it's dangerous it's not just once, it's every time I drive the car! Not just once but several times!”

“ON JUNE 2, 2018, I WAS PULLING INTO MY SPACE AT MY APARTMENT WITH MY FRIEND IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR SUDDENLY AND UXPECTANTLY ACCERALTED AND JUMPED THE CURB AND HIT A TREE WHICH STOPPED THE CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EMPLOY.BOTH OF US WERE SORE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT NO MAJOR INJURIES.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. AFTER THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE, AND DROVE THROUGH A WIRED FENCE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUFFERED AN INJURED NECK AND BACK THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.”

“UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. ENGINE REV WENT TO 3000 RPM WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. KEPT CAR STATIONARY BY PRESSING HARD ON THE BREAK. FIRST AND ONLY OCCURRENCE; ALSO ALMOST THE FIRST AND ONLY DAY THE CAR WAS DRIVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL OPERATIONAL. *TR”

“WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE CAR WAS NO LONGER ACCELERATING. WHILE STEPPING ON THE GAS THE ENGINE WAS REVVING BUT THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. AS I WAS ONLY A SHORT WAY FROM AN EXIT, I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF OF THE INTERSTATE, DOWN THE EXIT RAMP, AND TO THE STOP LIGHT PRIOR TO THE LOCAL ROADS AS THE CAR WOULD STILL DRIVE BUT ONLY LESS THAN 40 MPH. UPON GETTING TO THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR NO LONGER RESPONDED TO THE GAS PEDAL GOING FORWARD, I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP TO A SPACE IN BETWEEN TURN LANES. I PLACED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AND CALLED TRIPLE A FOR A TOW TRUCK. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO BODY WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAD GONE, TO THEIR SURPRISE AS THE CAR IS IN "GREAT CONDITION". *TR”
