| Accelerator sticking problem - like to say the first 6 months after buying a new 2005 honda civic the exact same thing happened numerous times. problem then seemed to resolve itself. i still own the car and it has not again occurred since. solution was to apply brake hard, put in neutral and kick the pedal. this was not a mat problem since this car has two grommets holding the mat in place. *tr | |||

| I bought a new honda civic ex at/2d on 1/31/05. up to today it has only 22k. in june 07, the battery died. (with less than 15k miles). in janurary 08, the wheel bearing failed. the dealer replaced it. in february 08, the brake started making noise. i had to take the car to the dealer one time after another. the third time was in april 08: the dealer had to replace the brake pad --- with about 21k miles, they did not expect the pad wore out. all i hoped is honda can offer me an extended warranty, in case something else happened as the car gets to 25k miles. but they would not do it. they gave me a case number, saying i can refer to it if the same problems happen again. i wish i can have at least an extended warranty from honda: since obviously this car is with a poor quality. *tr | |||

| First of all i am from canada...i said i was from washington state because that is the closest state to where i'm from...while driving my car on a very busy city street my 2005 honda civic suddenly began accelerating with out cause...when i applied the brakes they did not work...in fact, the car seemed to accelerate even more...i the put the car into neutral at which point the brakes did take somewhat...the car then continued to roll down a very busy city street people on foot were crossing the street about 1/2 a block in front of my car and it is only by the grace of god that i did not hit them...then i put the car in park and it came to a stop....i had my daughter in the car with me and i am grateful that no one was killed...my feeling is that i don't want to ever get back in that car again.....*jb | |||
