PLASTIC PART OF CAR KEY HOUSING FELL FROM THE METAL PART OF THE KEY AND ENGINE SHUT OFF. AT HOME, AFTER THE KEY HOUSING FELL TO THE CAR FLOOR, I EXAMINED IT. THE PLASTIC KEY HOUSING HAD FINE CRACKS WHERE METAL PART OF KEY WAS SUPPOSED BE SECURED WITH A TINY SCREW THAT WAS STILL IN THE METAL KEY. THE FINE CRACKS WAS ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE HOUSING TO OPEN AND SLIP OFF THE METAL KEY. APPARENTLY, THE METAL END OF THE KEY ISN'T LONG ENOUGH TO BE A LEVER WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION. THE PLASTIC HOUSING OF THE KEY TWISTED WHEN TURNING ON THE IGNITION AND RESULTED IN THE CRACKS AT THE BASE OF THE KEY.

I DROVE MY CAR ONTO A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SPEED LIMIT 70 MPH. ENTERING THE HIGHWAY MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 70-79 BY ITSELF WITH MY ABS KICKING IN AT THE SAME TIME. NOT ALLOWING ME TO BRAKE. NEARLY CAUSING A PILE UP, I EXITED IMMEDIATELY TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER TO PARK MY CAR. WITH TWO PASSENGERS IN THE CAR WITH ME, I PROCEEDED INTO THE LOT, UP A HILL WHEN I COULD FEEL MY CAR ACCELERATING BY ITSELF. WITH MY PASSENGERS IN DISBELIEF, I LIFTED MY RIGHT FOOT IN THE AIR SO THEY COULD SEE, MY CAR ACCELERATED FROM 0-21 MPH BY ITSELF, UP A HILL. SCARED OUT OF MY MIND, I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND PARKED IT. I CONTACTED HONDA, TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY "HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE" AND THAT THIS WAS THEIR FIRST TIME LOOKING INTO SUCH A POSSIBILITY. A COUPLE DAYS LATER AFTER THEY BLAMED THIS ISSUE ON MY "THIRD PARTY FLOOR MATS" AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE THEM OUT OF MY CAR, I DID. I DROVE WITHOUT THE FLOOR MAT FOR TWO WEEKS, TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS MY CAR ACTING UP AND NOT THE MATS. SURE ENOUGH, MY CAR ACTED UP 2 MORE TIMES IN THOSE TWO WEEKS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUNCH OF STOP LIGHTS. I WOULD BRAKE A LITTLE TOO EARLY & ATTEMPT TO COAST IN TRAFFIC TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I'D TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE CAR WOULD FULLY ACCELERATE ALL BY ITSELF, CAUSING ME TO SLAM MY BRAKES. SECOND OCCURRENCE, WAS WHEN I WAS GETTING INTO MY CAR, TURNED IT ON, BUT NEVER PUT IT INTO GEAR OR EVEN SHUT MY DOOR, THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING WITH RPMS UP IN THE "REDS". MULTIPLE TIMES. AFTER TAKING MY CAR IN A SECOND TIME, THEY WERE ONCE AGAIN BLAMING THESE PROBLEMS ON MY FLOOR MATS AND THAT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO SERVICE OR TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING AT ALL, I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT TO FURTHER ENFORCE THAT THE 2010 HONDA CIVIC NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE COMPUTERS ARE DEFECTIVE AND HONDA IS DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR
