What owners wrote

My mother is a victim of sudden acceleration incident from a honda civic 2001. She was driving the vehicle on a small street and had placed it in park. Then, she placed the gear back into drive and before tapping the gas pedal the car surged forward in high acceleration and went out of control. She applied the brakes a few times but it failed to stop the car.

November 2010 CrashInjury

Failure - have began to notice on my 2001 honda civic that I can not release key from the ignition. Just had a transmission put in the car at over 207,xxx miles. This is becoming a problem because I have to back up and pull forward just to get the steering wheel straighten - then pull the key out.

Reported at 207,000 miles, December 2010
