I have honda civic si 2007. I have been experiencing a problem with 3rd gear. It pops out and sometimes it's hard to get it in the 3dr gear. The problem happened more frequently when the weather is cool and it's intermediate. It could happen 2 times a day or 2 times a week depending on the weather/driving time and conditions. I took my car to the honda dealership in mahwah, nj (as I been told car has been taking for the test drive 7 times and total 22 miles on it)and nanuet, ny(2 times total 10 miles) and I also called honda of america to file a complaint about it 3 times(case # [xxx]). As a result dealerships couldn't replicate the problem and honda of america only can advise me to go to the different dealership. I have extended warranty on this car it will expire in august 2013 and as I was told at honda of america it becomes my problem after warranty will expire. This is the worst costumer care service owning a car I have ever experienced, and it's honda. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I have a 2007 honda civic lx with 36,000 miles. I was turning left into a parking space going very slowly (<5 MPH) when my vehicle suddenly accelerated. My foot was not on the gas pedal. I slammed on the brakes and the car continued to accelerate and I hit a curb which then caused the car to stop its acceleration. The brakes did not make too much difference as the car was continuing to move forward and rpms continued to increase as I tried to brake. Previously, I had a problem with high RPM's and increased acceleration and rough idling at 34000 miles. I took it to the dealer who replaced the engine mount which I found out was under my powertrain warranty. I have also had the battery replaced. Other than that, those are the only issues I have experienced until today. I called the dealer and they said it must be operator error, but why would the car continue to accelerate with my foot on the brakes? I checked the mat as well and it had not become entangled with the gas pedal as the dealer suggested. The car moving forward at high rpms by itself is a concern. I am happy that I did not have an accident or hit a pedestrian. I am filing this complaint because I believe that this is a serious issue with my vehicle and as I researched, I am finding that others are having the same issue as I am under some of the same circumstances. I am afraid to drive my car!
