What owners wrote
My 2004 honda civic has the same acceleration problem as toyota. Braking for a light or stop sign, the engine RPM is about 2000 and car is almost unstoppable. This is a random phenomenon, and is unpredictable. Contacted honda but they claimed they never heard of this problem. This resulted in bumper damage twice.
The vehicle is growling and rumbling in low gears, shifting from first to second. I took the car in and they want to rebuild transmission. I find at 77000 miles the vehicle transmission should not be failing. Researching has amounted to numerous vehicles that have the same problem. One mechanic has personally seen 4 vehicles in past few months with the same problem. I believe the manufacture should take responsibility for this matter!
