I was driving home on I-80 and while the vehicle was in motion, the vehicle stopped accelerating. I would push on the gas and the vehicle would not accelerate. Rpms would go to 4000. The vehicle began to slow. I could have got into an accident but pulled off onto the right side of the highway. The car was running but would not accelerate. I called my insurance company to tow the vehicle. The auto shop who assessed the car said the transmission went out. There is only 158,000 miles on the car and the transmission should just stop working. The shop said it would be $5100 to replace.
2015 Honda Civic acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car slowed down while driving on city streets, and then stopped completely. Also when I stopped or was slowing down, made a turn or braking the same thing occurred. This happened several times on individual days. I put on my flashing hazard lights to prevent being hit from behind on busy streets. I have read about his happening to several other drivers when I was researching it online. This is a very dangerous situation. I do not feel safe driving his car, it's like russian roulette. I am having it checked out tomorrow at a honda dealer.it may take a while for diagnosis of the cause. I was surprised that this was not listed as a recalled vehicle. Since his has happened on different dates I will just list the latest date below.
Speedometer sticking reading over 60 when going less than 40. When stopped it read at 23 just do not calibrate correctly. Service department had to re-write the the TCM software.. No one could explain why this happen! It is still not accurate & yes it is a major safety concern
I was slowly turning my vehicle into a parking space in the parking lot of a restaurant. The car was facing the building with a sidewalk between the car and the building. The vehicle unexpectedly and uncontrollably accelerated on its own.pressing on the brake did not slow it down at all. The vehicle lurched forward, jumping the curbed sidewalk and stopped when it crashed into the brick wall of the building. I was able to steer away from the large window that was directly in front of me. It was noon and fortunately there were no customers on the sidewalk. The vehicle suffered extensive front end damage costing $7773 in repairs. I was evaluated at the scene by ambulance crew. I had an elevated blood pressure and a sore shoulder/neck. The dealer's staff and the regional manager insisted that this was not a failure of the vehicle, but human error. I know I was not pressing on the gas. The regional manager asked me to drive the vehicle to the crash site to demonstrate for him what had happened as it would make it more clear to him than reading about it. I declined this ludicrous request! A police report is available as well as insurance claims and photographs.
3 incidents of unintended acceleration - each time I was turning left into a parking space slowly when the engine rev'd and the car lurched forward. The 3rd incident ended with my car speeding through a plate glass window. The dealership assumes that I hit the accelerator instead of the brake. I definitely did not. I applied the brake and was gliding into the parking spot. When the car sped up. The brake failed to stop it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 honda civic. While driving at unknown speeds, the brake pedal was applied; however, the vehicle accelerated without warning the emergency brake was engaged, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The contact turned off the vehicle in order to stop it from accelerating. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (hendrick honda pompano beach, 5381 n federal hwy, pompano beach, fl 33054), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the failure recurred again and the vehicle was taken to hendrick honda again. The failure was unable to be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, the dealer informed the contact to document the failure when it recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and advised the contact that a specialist would inspect the vehicle. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 2,200.
Unintended acceleration on 01/27/2016 when the vehicle was about to make right turn on an intersection with the right traffic light on. Suddenly it accelerated at about 60miles and hour. All my effort to stop it by applying the breaks failed temporarily. The odometer reading on the car is about 13,400 miles. No accident occurred. The vehicle is currently parked and not to be driven until honda corporation tells me what to do. I have never had this experience with other cars I have owned or driven over the past 22 years.
Trying to stop car but it accelerate and wheels lock causing an accident
While traveling at slow speeds in city driving, the car tends to lurch forward. Concerned about takata airbag- before I bought vehicle asked if one was installed and/ or airbag manufacturer. Could not get an answer and was told to buy a 2015 "just to be safe". In light of the 2015 vw takata airbag that just ruptured I would like advice on what to do as I bought the car . It is hard to believe that takata would be allowed to continue putting airbags in without knowing the cause.
With the manual transmission, when gearing down, depressing the clutch does not disengage the cruise control, so when you release the clutch, the vehicle resumes the original cruise set speed without pressing the "resume" button on the steering wheel. When we took the vehicle back to the dealer, they told us it is supposed to work that way. I have been driving manual transmission vehicles for 30 years, and it is common knowledge that depressing either the clutch or brake should disengage the cruise control.
