There are 4 owner-reported speed control & cruise complaints for the 2016 Honda HR-Vin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
On two separate occasions during February this has occurred. While at a stop sign with the brake floored the engine revved and the car started to slowly inch forward. Later in the month, at a convenience store, before shifting into park the brake was thoroughly depressed and the engine once again revved and the car started to inch forward. It only stopped when I pushed on the brake with all my might. The car had had its yearly inspection in January.
Driving slowly to garage, sudden unintended acceleration and brakes stopped working. My car crashed into the rear wall of the garage. The front end of my car was damaged. The wall of my garage was damaged as well. I went to the doctor due to pain in my chest and arms.
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL BEING SET, THE SETTING GETS CANCELLED AUTOMATICALLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE MORE 20-30 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST LESS THAN ONE YEAR. I RESET THE CRUISE SPEED AGAIN AND IT AGAIN CANCELS THE SET SPEED.
IN MOTION. COULD NOT STOP AT 2 REDLIGHTS. TOOK IT TO MY GARAGE AND WOULD NOT STOP AGAIN, CAUSING ME TO CRASH THROUGH LAUNDRY ROOM WALL, DEMOLISHING WASHER, DRYER UTILITY SINK ETC.
