2012 honda civic. Consumer writes in regards to transmission noise. *tgw the consumer also stated the wiper blades were replaced three times.
While driving on the highway at 50mph at 2500rpm all of a sudden my RPM went to 4000 without me accelerating more I got scared and tried to slowly slow down the vehicle but RPM remained at 4000. And it remained like that till I stopped the vehicle and restarted it.
Car suddenly stops dead while accelerating to make left hand turn. It will resume acceleration only after a four second pause. Turning into on coming traffic with a dead vehicle is going to cause an accident involving injuries or death. This is the third time that this incident has occurred to my vehicle. The honda dealer can not find the cause. The accelerator safety device switch on brake pedal is suspected. Neither I or other driver ever knowingly touched the brake pedal.
While going up a hill on my driveway the vsa (vehicle stability assistant) was activated on my 2012 honda civic due to slippage in snow. The vsa modulator got stuck and the vsa, ABS and power steering warning lights instantly turned on. Upon turning the car off the vsa modulator remained on producing a low frequency hum/vibration. I had to disconnect the battery terminal last night to turn the modulator off so that it does not drain the battery. This type of failure on critical safety components should not be occurring on a 5 month old car. Luckily the failure occurred at low speed (5 MPH). Had this failure occurred on the highway at 65 MPH it could have resulted in a major accident.
Engine stalls at low speed going around corner, then starts abruptly at a higher speed, causing dangerous lack of control. This has happened a dozen times.
