I was driving in 55 mph zone in heavy rain and car slowed down to less than 25 mph and would not accelerate over 25 mph when I pressed the gas. Dashboard lit up amber and stated “collision mitigation braking system problem..see your dealer” and lane departure problem. Car eventually accelerated but automatically decreased speed again and I was unable to accelerate after pressing gas. This happened at least 6 separate times in a 7 mile drive home. This could have easily caused an accident because visibility was low due to heavy rain and it was nighttime.

The steering is sticky, not smooth. This happens around 40 mph and higher. I took the vehicle to the dealership in Wichita within the past week. This was the second time I had the vehicle in to the dealership for this problem. They performed an alignment the first time on Nov. 3, 2023. Last week, they said they found nothing wrong with the steering. This started happening last summer. It didn't bother me a great deal at first but started to get worse. I purchased the CR-V in February 2023. The problem worries me because I feel the steering could fail at higher speeds, and I frequently drive family members in the vehicle. I can make the vehicle available for inspection.
