2006 Honda Civic acceleration problems

Filed Apr 8, 2022 · Acceleration, Brakes · CA

I am being targeted as a DRIVER since 2010 for driving programs that automatically adjust the weight needed to effectively press the brake and gas pedals of any vehicle. 4/8/2022 3:34 PM PST, such activities occurred when merging onto traffic on the 57 N freeway from Imperial Hwy on ramp. To confirm that such occurred and that it was not due to overwhelming the engine during driving in high heat conditions, e.g. 97 degrees. On past occasions, this has involved accelerating, although minimal, when I have pushed the gas pedal at E. Cameron Ave. and S. Pima Ave. cross walk, to cause embarrassment, harassment, reports, and use of my emergency brake because children were crossing following a crosswalk guard. This incident was reported during 2010-2012. Such activity was suspected beforehand but too difficult to conclude that such was the case w/o incidents like the one just aforementioned. Since 2010, the radio has played alternative broadcasts, especially during activities as the one mentioned above to cause alarm, stress or for the purpose of involving someone else, such as Maria Auxiliadora Hernandez, formerly Solis and now Flores, of knowing exactly what was said or what I was saying to myself w/o anyone around at any time. Such activities appear to be implemented as her work rather than the actual work she is supposed to complete for the company that she holds herself out as working for, e.g. the woman at the donut shop counter is supposed to be engaging in donut shop related activities, but instead begins to harass other employees and clients regarding what was emitted through the radio or what they were doing at the time of the broadcast, instead of completing activities related to staffing a donut shop. Such activities were used to control the extent of her work and her work environment in lieu of what she is contracted to complete. Cover up seems to be testing driving practices when its supposedly apparent that I am on my way to work in lieu of home

My dad has died from injuries sustained from a car accident, he told me his car 2006 honda civic accelerated on its own! The car accelerated at high RPM when he just went to accelerate. To enter the road making a left, instead the car went so fast within seconds, he lost control and his honda plowed threw a stop sign, then was finally stopped by a steel pole holding up a quick check sign! He sustained extensive chest injuries! 3 broken ribs, 2 dropped lungs, fractured sternum, fractured c4 and c7 spine injuries! He died due to a defect in the accerlaertion of the vehicle racing on its own! My dad has always kept up with recalls and has car logs and maintenance logs, etc. I hope other people never have to experience this tragic sudden death, due to a defect in manufacturer acceleration, or whatever equipment is responsible for this accident! It's a mfg defect! Please address or at least make public aware this could happen to them! The consumer requested a status update.

I on a 2006 honda civic ex. Yesterday I came to a stop light and applied the brakes and as I did so the car stopped and then the engine began to race and roar. I applied the brakes harder as the car began to try to jump forward into the intersection the engine raced even more and the brakes were not holding the car back so I quickly put the car in park and turned off the engine. I waited about 30 seconds and then started the car again and kept my foot on the brake. The care engine was normal this time and the engine did not race so I drove home. The next day I took my car to the honda dealership and they put it on the computer and did not find anything wrong, but when they did a visual check of the gas pedal, they found that the gas pedal had come loose from the floor mounting. They tighten this part and charged me for labor and the time on the computer (which came to $104.). They said there was a recall on this part for some of the 2006 honda civics, but that mine was not the right VIN number for this recall. When I look on you website it type in my VIN number and make and model, it says it is on recall and that they have a modification kit for the gas pedal that they send to the dealership to repair the car for free that is supposed to prevent this from happening again. I feel that they should have order the repair kit for my gas pedal and told me that they would service my car for free. My life or someone else's could have been at risk with this incident and possibly without this modification kit, it can happen again in the future. I would like to know how to get my car included in this recall and free installation of the modification kit as it should not be excluded since I obviously suffer the same risk as those other 2006 honda civics with the approved VIN numbers. I would also like a refund on the $104.

The following is the letter I sent to honda. The letter got passed around and I was told to call customer service. Please help settle this matter. I want honda to notify all customers of this problem and also pay for my damages due to their negligence. On monday, march 17, around 9am, my 2006 honda civic suddenly and without warning cut out completely and had no steering. I had just taken an exit ramp, 291b towards chesapeake, virginia and miraculously made it to the shoulder of the off ramp with no power. My honda civic has only 61,000 miles on it and has been well maintained. I was fortunate to have a police car pull behind me after waiting about 20 horrifying minutes. The officer said she would park behind me because someone was going to hit me from behind. Traffic was heavy and cars and trucks were flying off of i64 on to this 291b exit ramp. It was a shock to learn later that the tensioner bolt suddenly broke off and caused the water pump to lock up and tensioner and serpentine belts to be damaged. What was completely unacceptable, was to learn that certain VIN numbers had the drive belt recalled to install the longer, rerouted drive belt. This obviously needed to be done on my car as well. I am shocked and upset that I was placed in a situation where there was a potentially known tragedy that could have occurred. I have been a very loyal honda customer to this point, but require that appropriate action is taken. Honda should cover repairs related to their negligence and also, most importantly notify all customers promptly of this known potential disaster. I look forward to an acceptable response by march 28, 2014. [xxx] please see enclosures below. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving about 50 MPH when my car started slowing. No matter how hard I pushed the gas pedal it wouldn't drive over 30 MPH. It then started smoking, so I pulled to the side of the road and called a tow truck. The repair shop said I had a cracked engine block and that the oil probably leaked completely out in a matter of minutes.
