What owners wrote

My wife who was driving our honda crv 2012 had an accident on the freeway off ramp. When the car in front of her ran over some wire that was left on the road, the driver made a sudden stop. My wife was unable to stop in time and hit the vehicle with our honda. There was considerable damage on both cars. Since the airbags did not deploy and the safety belt in our 2012 honda crv did not restrain my wife from hitting the steering wheel, she was seriously hurt.

Car suddenly accelerated after applying brakes to slow down the car when approaching a red light - felt like car kinda jolted and brake felt hardened, after retrying it was all fine. Happened this again to my wife twice while she was pulling the car out of parking lot and had to pull back in, car accelerated, on next try it was fine. Taking it to honda service tomorrow.
