Honda Civic Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 15, 2012
Reported on May 15, 2012
| I'VE HAD MY 2012 CIVIC FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING ISSUE RIGHT AWAY: WHILE MAINTAINING SPEED AT 1500 RPMS, THEY SUDDENLY JUMP TO 2500 RPMS, PAUSE AT THE HIGHER RPM FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN COME BACK DOWN. I CANNOT RECREATE IT AT WILL, IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT AND STRAIGHT ROADS (AS THIS IS MY USUAL DRIVE TO WORK AND HOME), APPLYING THE BREAK DOES NOT BRING THE RPMS BACK DOWN EITHER. I HAVE DRIVEN A DECENT AMOUNT OF CARS IN MY LIFETIME INCLUDING A 2003 CIVIC IN THE SAME TRIM AS MY CURRENT CIVIC AND NONE HAVE ACTED THIS WAY. I REALIZE A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT '03 CIVIC MODEL, BUT NO CAR SHOULD ACT LIKE IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN, WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW IT FEELS EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS AND LEAVES ME WITH A VERY UNSETTLING FEELING WHILE DRIVING IT. *TR | |
