Unintended acceleration. 10 miles after a cold start-up, the car went to full throttle. I was able to hold it in place with the brakes. I turned the ignition off momentarily, but the car went back to full throttle. I then turned it off for about 15 seconds, and the car reverted to normal operation. The cruise control was "on", but not engaged. No speed had been set after the initial startup. This is a hybrid with…

New 2006 honda civic - major issue with the low idle (650) rpm instantly increasing to around 1000 rpm when the steering wheel is slightly turned, causing the car to jump ahead. You must have your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal at all times. If you remove your foot from the brake and turn the wheel, the car lurches forward. I believe this a safety concern and an annoyance. Honda factory tech claims this how…

The vehicle idled in my driveway for 1-2 minutes. I backed the vehicle down the driveway. I put my foot on the brake and shifted into drive. The vehicle unexpectedly revved up to 3-4000 rpm without pressing the accelerator. As my foot was firmly on the brake, the vehicle did not move. I took the vehicle to a dealership. The dealership checked the vehicle and test drove it. They could not find a problem or replicate…

The rapid, delayed deceleration that occurs with the vehicle when you let off the accelerator pedal poses a safety issue. The car has a completely non-linear, rapid, sudden deceleration approximately 1 second after letting off the accelerator. This can cause unexpected vehicle over steer, particularly when the car is driven in a spirited fashion which is its target market. *jb

Tl* i have a 2006 honda civic hybrid that numerous times now (virtually all the time), the cruise control will not slow down when instructed to slow down by pressing the decrease speed button one press at a time. Usually i will have to hold it down for several seconds for it to respond. The vehicle was taken to the dealer they stated there is not failure and now the warranty has expired. The manufacture also was…

Xi have owned a 2006 civic hybrid for the past year and a half. On several occasions i have noticed that a light application of the brake pedal can result in a sudden acceleration} rather than in braking. This happens intermittently, i would say approximately once a month. It seems like a malfunction in the computer system running the braking system. On one occasion last april this resulted in a minor accident. At…

All 2006 honda civic si models continue to accelerate for approximately 1 second(s) after closing the throttle. This programmed "rev holding" compromises the ability to safely control the car and stop it. This is a drive-by-wire issue that must be fixed. *jb

When lifting off the accelerator car continues without decelerating for more than 1 second. This can cause problems in traffic. I must anticipate my deceleration or use the brake pedal suddenly when i would not have to in another car. I believe this presents a significant risk. Further when deceleration does occur it is extremely abrupt. If i am turning and i lift off the throttle the sudden deceleration and its…
