I HAD WORKING ON MY CAR FOR THE PAST A MONTH AND A 1/2 REPLACING SENSORS AFTER SENSORS ON MY TRANSMISSION. I WENT ON LI E AND RESEARCHED OTHER PEOPLE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES LIKE JERKING STALLING CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY .I DONT UNDERSTAND IF I'M FIXING WHAT THE SCANNER IS TELLING ME WHY IS IT ITS TELLING ME THE SAME CODES REPEATEDLY AND OTHERS CODE I NEED TO REPLACE? PLEASE HELP ANYONE.

ON OR ABOUT DECEMBER 21, 2017 AND ON DECEMBER 25, 2017 (AT APPROXIMATELY 5:20 PM EASTERN TIME), THE ENGINE OF MY 2010 HONDA FIT ACCELERATED RAPIDLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY OR SUBURBAN STREET. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING AT 20-25 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS NOT TRYING TO INCREASE THE CAR'S SPEED BY PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR HAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE CAR BY PUSHING DOWN ON THE CAR'S CLUTCH AND PUTTING THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO OPERATE AT A HIGH SPEED AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS IN NEUTRAL.

DAY1: I HAVE A 2010 HONDA CIVIC EX-L SEDAN WITH MILEAGE OF 95-100K. I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-MPH (BEST GUESS-TIMATE), THE VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, GREEN LIGHT NEXT TO DRIVE (D) BEGAN FLASHING AND VSA INDICATOR WAS LIT TOO; VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE A BIT JERKY SHIFTING. TOOK IT INTO HONDA AND THEY CHANGED TRANSMISSION FLUID, AS WELL AS REPLACED THE 3RD GEAR PRESSURE SWITCH. DAY 3: I EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM, WITH THE ADDITIONAL SYMPTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY FLUCTUATING WILDLY / READING TOO LOW OR ZERO VALUES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED A COMPUTER UPDATE, CLEARED ERROR CODES, AND A 10-MIN TEST DRIVE DID NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE. DAY4: WHILE GENTLY ACCELERATING TO 45-MPH, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND THE SPEEDOMETER ABRUPTLY DROPPED TO NEAR "ZERO". IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY DOWN-SHIFTED TO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR AND CAUSED THE TIRES TO SCREECH (AS IF I HAD JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT I HAD NOT). THE ABRUPT DECELERATION OF MY VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME, WHO WAS ALSO ACCELERATING AND NARROWLY AVOIDED REAR-ENDING MY VEHICLE (I IMAGINE BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DECELERATION WITHOUT WARNING OF BRAKE LIGHTS). THIS TIME, BEFORE RETURNING TO DEALERSHIP, I PERFORMED ONLINE RESEARCH AND WHEN I DID RETURN TO THAT DEALERSHIP, I SUGGESTED THEY CHECK THE ENGINE'S SPEED SENSOR. SURE ENOUGH, THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE SPEED SENSOR AND HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE (3 WEEKS NOW). I'M REPORTING NOW BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN THIS MALFUNCTION COULD OCCUR TO SOMEONE ELSE AND CAUSE THEIR VEHICLE TO BE REAR-ENDED. *TR

I WAS PARKED IN SHOPPING CENTER. I CAME OUT OF CVS PHARMACY AND CAREFULLY BACKED MY CAR OUT. I BEGAN A LEFT TURN LANE (STILL IN SHOPPING CENTER) NOT INTO MAIN ROAD AND SUDDENLY THE CAR'S SPEED ESCALATED RAPIDLY AND I COULD NOT STOP IT - IT JUMPED THE CURB AND IN TRYING TO AVOID HITTING SHOPS CAR CRASHED HEADLONG INTO LIGHT POLE. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE GAS ACCELERATOR WAS STUCK. THE AIRBAG CAME ON AND I WAS INJURED BY THAT. THE FRONT END OF AUTO WAS BADLY DAMAGED. THIS IS A HONDA CIVIC 2010 AND THERE WAS A CRASH AND ONE PERSON INJURED (ME) WHICH WHEN I PRINT THIS YOUR FORM REVERTS TO ORIGINAL FORM. *TR
