What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owned a 2002 honda cr-v. While driving 10 MPH, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact depressed the brake pedal; however, the brakes failed to slow the vehicle. The contact crashed into a guardrail. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to the contact's residence. The contact sustained scratches and bruises to the upper arm and body that did not require medical attention.
When breaking to a stop the car suddenly accelerates. It has happened to me three times in 20,000 miles. Only to me, not my wife who drives it 99% of the time. The last time it happened I clearly was aware my foot was in no way touching the accelerator pedal . The engine speed only jumped up to approx. 2000RPM the dealer checked it over @ no charge to me with no findings.
