Speed Control Cable Problems of Honda Civic

Ii had pulled out of a parking lot and was preparing to make a left turn. To allow an oncoming car to pass, I stopped in the intersection. However, the vehicle behind me was following too closely, and hit my rear bumper. Upon impact, my car suddenly revved and accelerated to perhaps 20-30 mph. I pressed harder on the brake, but the acceleration continued. I quickly applied the hand brake, and my vehicle came to a stop in the driveway of a facing business. Fortunately, no human or property damage occurred. I took my vehicle to the Honda dealer, who thoroughly inspected the applicable components; they could find no problems, so they contacted Honda, who subsequently came out but again could find no problems. The dealership suggested that I might have erroneously applied the accelerator instead of the brake, but I know that this is not true. I have many years of excellent driving experience, and quick reaction time. I am absolutely positive that I was applying the brake, and that my car experienced unintended acceleration. With a supposed clean bill of health, this car continues to be my mode of transportation. However, I always have an underlying fear that this unintended acceleration might occur again.

As I was leaving the parking lot of a shopping center, and about to get on the roadway, I came to a complete stop. When the opportunity came to proceed, I stepped on the gas pedal (throttle) and it got stuck to the floor for approximately 10 seconds. I immediately stepped on the brake pedal as hard as I could, to prevent the car from moving forward at a high rate of speed, however the car kept creeping forward. I managed to engage the emergency brake, which seemed to have helped. As an attempt to loosen the throttle, I shifted the shift lever from "drive" to "park," back and forth a couple of times, to no avail. As I was about to attempt to turn the ignition key to the off position, the throttle became unstuck. During the incident, the engine was running at high rpms. I took the car to the dealership and explained to them what I had experienced. The master mechanic took the car for a test-drive and confirmed that the throttle was getting stuck. During the actual inspection, the mechanic(s) found out that the throttle body and cable needed to be replaced. The repair was done and I had not had another such incident since then.

The accelerator pedal feels rough or notchy when you press it. The car does not respond properly when traveling at low speeds and are required to move the accelerator pedal to make slight speed adjustments. This is the same problem described for 1996 Honda Civic. I have it on my 1997 Civic. Honda will not correct the problem on my 1997 Civic. I am concerned that this is a serious saftey hazard. If the throttle cable sticking problem becomes worse, it could cause the throttle to stick wide open.
