I have noticed that my honda civic sometimes feels as if you were driving standard. You press on the gas peddal and it hesistates to go and then goes immediately which makes it feel as if you are shifting gears. (used to drive standard). It does this all the time. I noticed that it does it more often when the econ button is on and less when the econ button is off but it does do it all the time. It does this while…

I was driving and made a turn on a city street and suddenly the car auto-accelerated to a high speed and the brakes did not stop it nor the hand-brake. It only stopped when it hit against another car. I bought the car 3 months ago from the honda dealership and it was a certified honda vehicle.

My 2013 honda civic hesitates when i attempt to accelerate suddenly. This is dangerous when trying to make a left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic, or merge at a freeway entry and accelerate to highway speeds. The electronic fuel injection, computer control or the engine or cv transmission may be the cause. I suspect the computer control, as the car is equipped with "eco mode". But the problem occurs whether…

Driving home up 50 degree hill. Approximate speed 35 mph. I took my foot off accelerator because i like to coast the last 1/4 of the hill for safety, slowing down for any potential idiots who might sail around the corner from the flat cross street, cutting off the part of the street that, by law, should be left clear for the car coming uphill. In a split second, my car accelerates suddenly, as though i had stomped…

For any speed above 25mph this issue occurs at any speed the cruise control is active. I noticed this issue almost around august 2014. Issue occurs with setting speed control. In this model, the customer can choose either choose res +, res ??. I found out if i choose res -, the vehicle sets the speed correctly most of the time with +/-1 mile which is ok. During this mode, each time the customer press ??-??, the…

The road leading to the back entrance of his housing complex is a single one-way lane with a wide bicycle lane. This roadway curves slightly to the left leading into the entrance of his housing complex. On approaching the end of the road my son took his foot of the gas to slow…

Wthile driving and slowing to make a left turn at a flashing yellow light intersection and being an automatic transmission, i drive two footed, for quicker response time. Upon stepping on accelerator the vehicle hesitates for 3-4 seconds before picking up speed. When taken to the dealer, i am told it is a 2 footed driver issue and nothing they can be done. I have left it 24 hours and been told, 'no problem found'. I…

On numerous occasions my manual transmission 2013 honda civic has accelerated on its own in 2nd and 3rd gears. It occurs much more often in 3rd gear and happened twice just today; it has never done this in 1st, 4th, or 5th gears. I don't use cruise control so, unless the cruise control is kicking in on its own somehow, that is not the cause. When the car starts accelerating on its own, i am unable to easily move the…

Vehicle hesitates occasionally on start up. This is completely unpredictable and requires pushing hard on the accelerator, which results in a very fast takeoff. If you leave an even pressure on the pedal, the car will eventually move off, but this unpredictability can be quite dangerous if you are trying to pull out into a stream of moving traffic. *tr

I set the speed, using the cruise control, at 65 mph or 70 mph. Upon encountering a hill the car will slow down to as much as 60 or 65. Eventually the cruise control will kick in and the auto-throttle will accelerate the car quickly to 5 mph beyond the set speed. If it were set at 65, the car might accelerate to 70; set at 70 it might go to 75. Additionally, when i hit the brake to disengage the cruise control, it…

Sometimes when i slow down to make a left or right turn, i press the accelerater and nothing happens. This has been happening for several months. I took it to the dealer and they said it was because of being in econ mode. I don't use econ mode in spring, summer & fall and it still happens; not every time but 2 or 3 times a week. If i were to try to make a quick turn and it did that ii could have an accident. I've…
