    My gas pedal got stuck while starting the car. The car revved so loud and fast until bluish smoked filled the inside of the car and came out the tail pipe. Good thing the car was in park. The pedal released on it's own. After doing some research, i see that other owners of this vehicle has experienced the same thing. After taking their vehicle in, they were told they couldn't find an issue because they couldn't…

    Unintended acceleration. I pulled into my son's driveway. When i applied the brake the vehicle accelerated. It was heading towards the house and continued to accelerate as i increased pressure on the brake. I swerved onto their lawn; eventually major force on the brake brought the vehicle to a stop. I checked the floor mat; it was attached firmly to the floor. I am sure i was on the right pedal; i felt the brake and…

    I purchased a certified 2013 honda crv 2 months ago. I experienced problems with acceleration and cruise control immediately. I took the car to the dealer for service but he said the techinician tested and found no issues. Since then i have recorded that the problem consistently occurs at highway speeds above 50mph. When i initially try to accelerate from about 50mph to 60, the car barely moves. It feels as if i'm…

    We purchased a 2013 honda crv and wound up returning the vehicle that day with only 20 minutes of driving the car. We were on the freeway, my husband was behind us in our other car. I was driving about 55 miles per hour when the gas pedal basically lost power. It felt as if the resistance behind the pedal just disappeared (accelerator hesitancy also happened at a left turn going 5 mph). At that moment the car lost…

    I had left my office about 10 minutes prior to pulling into a shopping center and was driving about 5 mph in the parking lot, looking for a parking space. I saw one and slowed down even more to barely moving, and was easing into the parking space with my right foot on the brake. Just as the car stopped and i was getting ready to put it into park, the engine suddenly revved up and the car jumped the curb and hit a…

    At a 10 mph coast i start to accelerate slowly and the engine feels like it will stall. The car does not accelerate, the rpm does not change with movement of the accelerator pedal. I have to rock the pedal two to three times to get the engine to respond and accelerate with the traffic. This is a continuing problem that the dealer on 2 occasions has been unable to detect and correct i have come close to being hit…

    I bought the car from tony honda brand new, from the time i started driving the car, the speed control would stall. If i was driving for example at 60 mph once i get to a hill, the speed control would stall, go 50 and pick up again. Stalling is a dangerous situation in high traffic and high speed. I pointed out to the dealer that this was a dangerous situation, he stated there was nothing he could do; it was normal…

    The headlights keep blowing. Have been through 3 sets in 10 months! Taken it in to honda, and they blame the consumer's improper installation as a cause. We had auto zone help us install them each time. Been complaining since day 1 that the headlights constantly dim and come back up. Honda blames the cars "small battery" as the reasoning behind it. Then if it's their "battery" that's causing it then make the space…

    I am concerned about the safety of a vehicle which can drive itself at 7 - 14 mph, faster in reverse than forward, without anyone touching the accelerator. I was parked in my 2 month old crv on my (level) driveway on a clear day. I put the car in reverse, took my foot off the brake, started to turn to look behind me, had to grab a bag in the passenger seat and had not yet touched the accelerator pedal when my car…

    Correct recall on some crv - if the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash. Accident i stopped my car thought i put it in park and left it running to put up a garage sale sign. The next thing i know my car was driving away by itself like someone jumped in the car. I was out of the car and about 10 feet…

    After i bought the car two weeks later when the car is on cruise control going uphill the car rolls back by at least 10 miles and pick up again and stalls again. When i asked the dealer what was the problem, the dealer stated it was nor mal for the car to stall. I never accepted that explanation, the car needs top be recalled along with the other cars. This is my third complaint and nothing has been done.

    I noticed that honda crv are being recalled. My vin number was not included in the recall. When i bought the vehicle, the first day i drove it was stalling when i asked the dealer he says that was normal, stalling was ok. The other problem i have is the passenger airbag. It does not tell you when it is on, it is always off and you never know when it is on.

    While traveling in stop and go traffic, i was fully stopped with my foot on the brake peddle. Suddenly i heard & felt the engine of my car revving up. My car catapulted forward about 20 feet hitting the car in front of me. I applied more pressure on the brake peddle but could not stop the forward momentum of my car. Both cars sustained damage. The other driver was taken to the hospital in an ambulance because she…

    While attempting to legally turn right into an intersection, the vehicle started to move but suddenly the accelerator failed to respond, leaving me and my family in the middle of the road for a approximately 3 to 5 seconds, while other vehicles were approaching.

    When coasting at 10 to 12 mph, i press lightly on accelerator to move forward, there is no reaction. The rpm does not change, the car continues at the same speed. I must rock the accelerator hard to get the car to pick up speed and the car will lurch forward if i give it too much gas. This is not a one time incident. It started at about1,400 miles and is progressively worse at 7,000 miles. Honda's explanation is…

    I have a 2013 honda crv. About 20% of the time when i put on the cruise control the car will start accelerating quickly - going from about 55 mph to 70 mph within 10 seconds or so. Pushing the cancel button does nothing. I have to step on the brakes to disengage the cruise control. The main highway out of town has a speed limit of 55 mph. If i don't watch closely to make sure the car won't accelerate i can be up to…
