Four problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 1998 Honda Civic. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Due to a defective transmission system, vehicle slips while driving which causes rpms to go up. This may cause a crash. Dealer said they need to replace transmission. Please provide further information.
While driving 10 mph vehicle continued to accelerate without any warning. Occupant applied the brakes which were inoperative. It resulted in a crash.
While accelerating on to a highway, the accelerator pedal felt as though it was pulled to the floor and the car began accelerating out of control. I was in 5th gear and put the car into neutral, but it kept accelerating. I finally turned the ignition off [key] and coasted to the shoulder. Took car to dealer and was told no problem, that they were 99% sure the car mat must have gotten stuck under the pedal. I don't think so.
While driving in a parking space, vehicle accelerated and went over concrete in space and hit a wall. Repairs done, both airbags deployed. Dealer cannot duplicate the problem.
