I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT THAT HAD JUST TURNED RED (NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME). WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE LIGHT WAS TURNING YELLOW FOR THE CROSS TRAFFIC, I LET UP ON THE BRAKES A LITTLE BIT & MAYBE ROLLED A FEW INCHES. SUDDENLY I FELT A FORWARD THRUST & IMMEDIATELY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE HARDER & LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AS IT FELT LIKE A CAR WAS PUSHING MINE, THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING & I HAD TO PUT MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES BUT THEN THE LIGHT HAD TURNED GREEN SO I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. (THIS ALL HAPPENED IN JUST A FEW SECONDS) I IMMEDIATELY LOOKED AT THE CARPET WHICH WAS COMPLETELY IN PLACE. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE & WHEN I HAD TO STOP I LEFT A LOT OF SPACE FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE INCIDENT. IT WAS NOT FULL THROTTLE BUT ENOUGH TO REALLY SCARE ME. YESTERDAY I MADE A REPORT TO HONDA OF AMERICA & THEY WERE GOING TO FORWARD THE REPORT TO THE LARRY HOPKINS HONDA DEALER IN BURLINGAME WHERE I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS FRIDAY, APRIL 4TH. I DID FIND REPORTS ON THE INTERNET WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THAT SAME THING HAPPEN & THEIR GARAGE COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE INCIDENT OR FIND A CAUSE FOR IT SO I EXPECT MY VISIT TO BE FRUITLESS & A WASTE OF MONEY, BUT I REALIZE THAT I HAVE TO DO IT. I WILL ALWAYS WORRY AS LONG AS I DRIVE THIS CAR THAT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN & I MAY NOT BE AS LUCKY WITH THE OUTCOME. I WAS NOT PLANNING TO BUY ANOTHER NEW CAR UNTIL 2016. *TR

YESTERDAY I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT GOING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED WITH THE RPMS JUMPING TO 3,000. I APPLIED FULL BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION. TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. RPMS WENT UP TO ABOUT 4,500. THE CAR SLOWLY STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND THE CAR STALLED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED IT AND THE RPMS WERE NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SURVEYING THE INTERNET I CAN SEE LOTS OF OTHER ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THE 2006 CIVICS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

2006 HONDA CIVIC 4DR LX AT. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ENGINE ACCELERATION *WHILE BRAKING*. THE FIRST TIME, I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY AND HAD COME TO A STOP WHILE I WAITED TO MERGE ONTO A THOROUGHFARE; MY ENGINE RPM SUDDENLY INCREASED TO 1500 OR SO, AND I HAD TO MAINTAIN INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE OTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED TODAY: I WAS ALSO AT A STOP IN A LINE OF CARS WAITING TO PAY IN ORDER TO LEAVE A GARAGE. I INADVERTENTLY LESSENED THE PRESSURE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS EXERTING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND THE CAR ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE (NOT JUST LURCH FORWARD ASSOCIATED WITH LIGHTER BRAKE PRESSURE), SO I HAD TO HOLD DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH A GREAT DEAL OF FORCE, AND THE ENGINE RPM RETURNED TO IDLE SPEED. IN NO WAY DID MY FOOT TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR IN EITHER OF THESE INSTANCES. *TR

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME WAS, MAY 26, 2009, AND THE SECOND TIME, JANUARY 15, 2010. WHEN THIS OCCURRED I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN APPLYING THE BRAKE TRAVELING ABOUT 10 MPH. THE BRAKE BEGAN TO FADE AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, WHICH CAUSED THE MOTOR TO INCREASE IN RPM AND THEN WENT INTO IDEAL, WHICH ALL HAPPENED IN A FEW SECONDS. BOTH TIMES I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE OCCURRENCES. BOTH TIMES THEY WERE UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. AFTER HONDA CHECKED THE CAR OUT ON JANUARY 15, 2010 I RETURNED ON JANUARY 26, 2010, LEAVING THE CAR WITH THEM FOR 2 DAYS FOR A MORE INTENSE EVALUATION. AGAIN, THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. *TR
