What owners wrote
I was driving and made a turn on a city street and suddenly the car auto-accelerated to a high speed and the brakes did not stop it nor the hand-brake. It only stopped when it hit against another car. I bought the car 3 months ago from the honda dealership and it was a certified honda vehicle.
I have noticed that my honda civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. You press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). It does this all the time. I noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. It does this while driving on regular streets and on highways. The car shakes a lot when the AC is on.
