“This has happened countless times since the day I purchased my car and drove it off the lot. It doesn't matter how fast or slow I am driving, when I take my foot off of the gas pedal, my whole car jars forward like it is my transmission and it missed a gear. It has done this since I drove it home from purchasing it. It makes me nervous because my son is in the back seat and he can tell every time it happens because his head jolts forward.”

“My son had a car accident on 1/30/2016. A couple of cars in front of him had to make a complete stop because a squirrel was crossing the street. His velocity was aprox. Under 30 miles. When he hit the brakes, they did not respond inmediately and this resulted in a car crash with the car in front of him. The airbag also deployed. This happened on a street close to our home.”

“Honda Civic 2014 lx brake and steering problem I was pulling out our Honda Civic lx 2014 from the parking lot. After reversing I changed to drive gear and was moving forward at 5 to 8 MPH. There was a left turn and when I tried to make the turn, suddenly the steering and brake got stuck and the car hit a building, airbags got exploded and my wife who was pregnant for 6 months was severely injured. The car got totaled. Request an investigation so that this should not happen to anyone else in the future. Thank you”

“I recently purchased a 2014 Honda Civic from a local dealer and driving it for almost 3 weeks with no problems but last night on 08/30/2016 I parked the vehicle at a friends house in their driveway on a slight and put the vehicle in park and turned off the engine like I have been doing thousands of times and began exiting the car. The front door was obviously open and the vehicle began reversing! The front door knocked me down since I was so startled nothing has ever happened to me like that before. I have been driving for over 40 years. …”
