What owners wrote
This letter is to inform you about a severe malfunction that caused an accident. I was traumatized by a sudden unintended acceleration with my 2013 honda civic. Luckily no one got hurt in this event, but I?m hoping that this fact will not reduce the attention from this severe malfunction. Following is a brief summary of the event that happened on may 10, 2014 at 6:30pm: I was driving slowly, under 5 miles per hour, approaching a parking near the sideways.
Sometimes when I slow down to make a left or right turn, I press the accelerator and nothing happens. This has been happening since I purchased the car. It does not happen every time, but when it does you feel helpless until you are able to accelerate again (within a second or two). I have learned to compensate , but this could cause a major accident.
