On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center.
Tl* the contact owns a 2019 honda cr-v. While driving approximately 50 MPH in the rain, sleet, and snow, the contact attempted to use the defroster, however, the system failed to clear the windshield. The contact had to turn the heat up all the way inside the vehicle in order for the defroster to work properly. The dealer stated that the defroster seemed to work correctly. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown.
2019 honda crv. I have noticed that my oil has an amount of gas over 5% twice by analysis. I am worried about the problem of oil dilution that honda crv's (model year 2017 & 2018) have had. I fear that I will have premature engine damage and more important loss of power or stalling on the highway as the 1.5 liter direct injection honda crv engines have experienced.
