What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 honda civic hybrid. The contact was attempting to accelerate from a traffic stop but the vehicle was unresponsive. There was an abnormal burning odor coming from the vehicle and the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that they were aware of the failure but there was no repair available. The technician burnished the start clutch and replaced the transmission fluid.
The drive-by-wire throttle system equipped on the vehicle has been very tardy in its response time to throttle-pedal input. This was already a "recall" for this vehicle, and has since gotten worse after the new software was installed on the vehicle. For instance, if downshifting into first gear, quite often will the engine accelerate itself and push the vehicle for extended amounts of time (10-15 seconds) with no pedal input.
