What owners wrote
I had an incident with my 2008 honda civic. I was pulling into the church parking lot and turned to park in the grass next to another vehicle when I lost the steering and then suddenly the car jumped forward out of control and crashed into a tree about 10 ft in front of me. I thought the gas pedal had stuck but the adjustor was not able to confirm that this was the case. I never put my foot on the gas pedal-I was braking and going less than 10 mi/hr at the time.
While pressing the clutch it has started grinding and popping, it can be heard and felt out side the car with hood up. And can be felt on the clutch pedal.
