What owners wrote
I was pulling into parking space in garage with my 2008 honda crv. Put brake on and heard loud revving sound of engine (like when a car peels out from a stop light). The brake did nothing and the car surged forward with the revving right into the concrete wall of the garage. It hit so hard it made my glasses fly off my face. It bounced off the concrete wall about 3-4 feet and stopped. My foot was on the brake the whole time. After the car stopped, there was a really bad smell of something burning.
This has been a repeated problem with unwanted acceleration. I have filed several complaints with your agency to no avail. I have contacted honda and they insist there is no problem. This is a safety issue and it needs to be addressed.
