I live in carmarthenshire and the dealers have told me that its the characteristic of the car due to the fly by wire.They even had the cheek to say it was mainly women that has complained about this problem!! and suggested i changed my style of driving. That really made me mad!!!
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Jeannie, you are not alone. Take a look at the links below:

Iīm not saying that every civic owner experiences this problem, but obviously there are at least a few very unhappy drivers out there in the market. Honda can call this "drive by wire" and "woman driving" (Iīm male - not that it makes any difference), trying to pretend itīs normal, but itīs not normal - itīs just so extremely annoying!!! Letīs just hope that Honda finally stops burying their heads in the sand and instead starts taking care of their customers.
