I was driving to work on i-77 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. i would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. the vehicle began to slow. i could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. the car was running but would not accelerate. i called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. the honda dealership who assessed the car said the transmission went out. there is only 100,364 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. there is a known problem (recall) with the 2015 honda civic but my vin isnt included. honda knows they need to extended or open recall to include more vins. this is hondas mess up buy putting in a faulty transmission.

I have a 2012 honda civic lx, it has intermittent problems with unintended acceleration. it occurred twice on the highway and also urban area. just this morning, it happened again i was on the highway when i noticed the car suddenly accelerates and speeds up without stepping the gas pedal. fortunately the brakes responded to slow down. i came out of the highway, and i had to stop at a red light but still it was a constant fight acceleration by itself and stepping on the brake until the car will operate normally.

Takata recall. i've had this car for 3 yrs. the problem with it is that, when i come to a stop while driving it doesn't wanna take off. it hesitates for about 30 sec. the problem is that its dangerous when i turn left it stays in the middle of the st and i can get hit. at one point i had to put it in emergency lights and turn it off and on. then it worked. its been doing it for about 4 months at least twice a day. it started in about april. at first it wasn't that often then it started everyday. it happens anywhere, st highway, fwy, city even when i wanna reverse. im not sure why its doing it i've taken it to the mechanic about 4 times. i do all oil changes everything , tire changes, rotations, the mechanic can't find anything. he even changed a sensor and it still does it.

While driving (50+/- mph) on a two lane state road, my 2019 honda civic hatchback sport cmbs (collision mitigation braking system) automatically engaged, bringing my vehicle very close to a complete stop for no reason i could see. there were no vehicles in front of me in either direction and fortunately no vehicle following or i would have been rear-ended. clear morning, nothing on the roadway, no wildlife i saw. dry and sunny, no leaves, no breeze, bare pavement. a sweet june morning in dutchess county, ny. out of the blue the cmbs engaged automatically applying the brakes so hard i could feel the abs kicking on and in moments i was at a crawl, then the car simply behaved normally again. i've owned this car less than a week. there is no means provided to shut this feature off permanently. the only way to override the cmbs is to manually turn it off every time i restart the car. it resets every time the car is turned off. this feature may wind up causing more rear end collisions as it avoids front end collisions. what would the consequences be if that scenario happened while on a curve, driving 50 ...

The car slowed down while driving on city streets, and then stopped completely. also when i stopped or was slowing down, made a turn or braking the same thing occurred. this happened several times on individual days. i put on my flashing hazard lights to prevent being hit from behind on busy streets. i have read about his happening to several other drivers when i was researching it online. this is a very dangerous situation. i do not feel safe driving his car, it's like russian roulette. i am having it checked out tomorrow at a honda dealer.it may take a while for diagnosis of the cause. i was surprised that this was not listed as a recalled vehicle. since his has happened on different dates i will just list the latest date below.
