MY HONDA CR-V SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT MY PEDAL INPUT WHILE I WAS TURNING AT ABOUT 5 MPH IN THE PARKING LOT OF AN OUTDOOR SHOPPING PLAZA AND LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPACE. MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED UP TO 18 MPH BEFORE COLLIDING WITH TWO PARKED CARS, LEADING TO MODERATE FRONT-END DAMAGE OF MY VEHICLE. DASHCAM VIDEO AVAILABLE AT HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/T1SXHEZE74S

I EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE TWICE OVER A 3 MONTH PERIOD. AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATE 140 MILLES I PULLED INTO A PARKING AREA. AFTER THE CAR STOPPED THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY REVED UP TO OVER 3000 RPM. I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE KEY. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED THE CONDITIONS WERE SIMILAR WITH THE ENGINE REVING UP TO APPROXIMATELY 5000 RPM. IN BOTH CASES THE ENGINE REVED UP AFTER CAR WAS STOPPED AT THE END OF A LONG CONTINUOUS DRIVE. AT THE END OF THESE EVENTS I LOOKED DOWN AND VERIFIED THAT MY FOOT WAS DEFINITELY ON THE BRAKE. AFTER THE FIRST EVENT I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED BY A RELIABLE MECHANIC AND NOTHING UNUSUAL WAS FOUND.

CAR HESITATES AND THEN MAY SURGE ON ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY FROM FULL STOP, ROLLING STOP, OR LOW SPEED, AS IN HIGHWAY MERGING. I SUSPECT THE TRANSMISSION. IT IS INTERMITTENT, AT LEAST SEVERAL TIMES/WEEK FROM 2017-2018.

ENTERING A PARKING SPACE AT A LOCAL CVS THE CAR SELF ACCELERATED TO A VERY HIGH SPEED. THE CAR CHARGED FORWARD . THE BRAKES COULD NOT STOP THE CAR UNTIL IT SLAMMED INTO 2 PARKED CARS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORE ENTRANCE.ALSO, THE SAFETY BAGS DID NOT OPEN. THE CAR WAS LIKE A RAGING BULL. THE CAR WENT OVER 1 PARKING BLOCK CROSSING OVER THE FRONT OF THE STORE ,OVER ANOTHER BLOCK BEFORE STOPPING.. THE ACCELERATOR WENT BERSERK WITHOUT ANY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I AM UNABLE TO SCAN ANY REPORTS ELECTRONIALLY

I WAS PULLING INTO MY PARKING SPACE AT WORK AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR. I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED INTO THE BRICK WALL OF THE BUILDING ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY. FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE HAD SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME I WAS PREPARING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE BUT I WAS FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY AND WAS ABLE TO STOP JUST BEFORE HITTING ANYTHING.

MY CAR WAS ON A FREEWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH DRIVING IN ECONOMY MODE. I WAS ON MY BLUETOOTH AND I HAD NOT CHANGED LANES. SOMETIME DURING THIS 2 MINUTE PHONE CALL I HAD ACCELERATED AS I HAD TRAFFIC ENTERING FROM MY RIGHT AND FELT THE CAR SHIFT INTO A HIGHER GEAR. I ENDED MY PHONE CALL ABRUPTLY AS MY CAR WAS ACTING UP AND NOT RUNNING SMOOTHLY. IT MAY HAVE BEEN HESITATING. I REALIZED MY CAR JUST KEPT ACCELERATING AND OUT OF MY CONTROL. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT WOULD SLOW THE CAR, BUT IT DIDN'T SLOW THE ENGINE MOTOR. I WOULD ALTERNATE PUTTING MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND TAPPING THE ACCELERATOR AND BACK TO BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THERE WAS NO GIVE ON THE ACCELERATOR--LIKE IT WAS STUCK TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ABOUT 3 OR 4 OF THESE ATTEMPTS TO GAIN CONTROL, I HAD CONTROL OF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND EXITED AT THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN THE CAR WAS STILL MOVING AND I WAS OFF THE FREEWAY, I REACHED DOWN TO MAKE SURE MY FLOOR MAT WAS IN PLACE AND IT WAS. I THEN DROVE IT TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER AND LEFT IT THERE. SINCE IT IS THE WEEKEND THEY WON'T BE LOOKING AT IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK.

I WAS DRIVING FROM VEGAS TODAY 10/3 AFTERNOON TO LOS ANGELES. I WAS ON CRUISE FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AT LEAST. KEPT IT AROUND 70-71 BASED ON THE SPEED LIMIT. THERE WAS ONE POINT WHEN THE VEHICLE INCREASED THE SPEED AUTOMATICALLY TO 80-82 IN CRUISE. I WAS NOT INCREASING THE VALUE NOR MY LEG WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WAS SURPRISING AND SCARY. LUCKILY THE ROADS WERE FREE. ELSE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAR END OR SOME OTHER THING. I HAD TO STEP ON BRAKE TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM CRUISE. I AM A FAN OF HONDA AND HAD AN ACCORD 2006- 2008 AND THEN A CRV 2008 TILL 2014 AND FINALLY A 2014 CRV. OTHER OLD ONES DID NOT HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM. THIS ONE SCARED ME OUT OF MY SKIN.

OUR 2014 HONDA CR-V (PICKED UP THE CAR 11/14/14) HAS A PROBLEM WITH HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION. HAD 125 MILES ON THE CR-V WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A LOCAL SHOPPING CENTER. AFTER ENTERING THE CENTER AND GOING ABOUT 15 MPH I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS AS I GENTLY AGAIN PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. SCARED THE HECK OUT OF MY WIFE AND I. I HIT THE BRAKES. THEN SLOWLY PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR RESPONDED OKAY. WE WENT ANOTHER 200 FEET OR SO AND WAS MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING AISLE WHEN IT DID IT AGAIN. TWO PEOPLE CROSSING THE LOT CAME CLOSE TO BEING HIT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE. WE WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE. *TR

APPLY BRAKES FOR NORMAL STOP, EASE OFF THROTTLE PEDAL. WHEN ROAD IS CLEAR, RELEASE BRAKES, APPLY PRESSURE TO THROTTLE PEDAL. NO RESPONSE. ADD PRESSURE - NO RESPONSE. ADD MORE PRESSURE AND FULL SPEED AHEAD. *TR THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PUTS YOU HARD AGAINST THE SEAT, WITH SUDDEN REACTION NEEDED TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR AHEAD OF YOU GOING THE SAME WAY. ENTERING A FREEWAY COULD BE FUN!!! THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURANCE, AT ALMOST EVERY STOP AND PROCEED. FROM WHAT I HEAR ABOUT AIR BAGS IN SOME CARS, THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION MAY BE A CAUSE OF AIR BAG RELEASE WHICH WOULD COMPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AFTER STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, NOTHING HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE,THEN CAR JUMPS FORWARD. I HAVE COME CLOSE TO REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES. AM GOING TO MY DEALER TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET,SO ITS NOT MY IMAGINATION. *TR

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING INTO OR ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE HESITATION IS MOMENTARY BUT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
