    When in drive, at a light, with foot on the brake, the engine suddenly accelerates briefly, then returns to normal. This happened 3 or 4 times over the last year or 2. On 06/04/18, when in motion,in reverse, the engine suddenly accelerated. I dropped it into drive, it continued until i braked and jammed it into park, then the engine returned to idle.

    Takata recall : when i start the car and keep ac on, rattling sound comes and ac stops working. I can see there is one recall for 2002- 2008 honda crv for clutch and ac compressor recall. Published on jun 6, 2014 if you own a honda cr-v between 2002 - 2008 then you will encounter a common problem with the ac compressor clutch not engaging properly due to the location and overheating of this part. Need help. Thanks!
