What owners wrote
On march 23, 2011, I was involved in an mva in northern ca. I was traveling west on hwy. 80 on a downgrade. Traffic had come to a stop due to an accident. It had been snowing and I was traveling at 25 MPH in second gear. My vehicle is a honda 2008 crv with auto 4wd. I tapped my brake and there was no response. I tapped it again with no response. I applied steady pressure to the brake pedal with no response. The brakes were not working. They were not slowing or stopping the vehicle.
On june 23, 2017, at about 8:10 a.m., I turned in to a dry cleaners store at 5702 everhard road, corpus christi, texas. As I was slowly turning into a parking space and applying my brakes, my 2008 honda dr-v accelerated on it's own, at a speed so fast I could not stop it, even though I was applying the brakes as hard as I could. The cr-v traveled about 20-25 feet and hit a pillar of the building head on. The cr-v hit the pillar with such force that it rebounded back approximately 5 feet from the point of impact.
