Honda Civic Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | June 15, 2012
Reported on June 15, 2012
| I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY 8 MONTH OLD, 2012 HONDA CIVIC. AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO PUT THE CAR INTO REVERSE AND BEFORE I COULD STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AT A TREMENDOUS RATE OF SPEED, JUMPED A CURB AND WENT STRAIGHT INTO A BRICK BUILDING. THE CAR BOUNCED BACKWARDS ONTO THE PARKING LOT AND I WAS ABLE TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND REGAIN CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF A SPLIT SECOND WITH NO TIME TO JAM THE BRAKE ON AS THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR JOLTED TREMENDOUSLY, THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF, BUT A SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH BOARD INDICATING CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR | |
