Consumer Description

YESTERDAY I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT GOING DOWNHILL AT ABOUT 40 MPH. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED WITH THE RPMS JUMPING TO 3,000. I APPLIED FULL BRAKES AND THE CAR KEPT MOVING TOWARDS THE INTERSECTION. TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT, I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL. RPMS WENT UP TO ABOUT 4,500. THE CAR SLOWLY STOPPED. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE AND THE CAR STALLED. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED IT AND THE RPMS WERE NORMAL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. SURVEYING THE INTERNET I CAN SEE LOTS OF OTHER ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THE 2006 CIVICS. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
