Civic LX 3.2L
Like others who have reported this issue, we've heard it from other mechanics and the body shop mechanics who had a Honda civic in for repairs as early as last week. Well
it caused and accident, my mothers car on her way home from work....suddenly accelerated uncontrollably to rpm's sufficient for passing on the highway...this occurred
on a city street however and rear ended a pickup with a high tailgate which destroyed the hood and most likely the radiator. Didn't quite reach the back tires of the vehicle in front.
It even occurred to me once and I had to kick the accelerator out of its acceleration by giving it more acceleration, kinda like the previous high idle vs low idle settings on my Isuzu pickup (carburetor) which I had to tap the accelerator to bring it to lower idle when warming it up....this has since been resolved. But yes its a serious issue HONDA REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM EVEN IF FATALITIES DON'T REACH A CERTAIN STATISTIC. The vehicle in front was a daughter with whom appeared to be her elderly parents.
