What owners wrote
Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA) I was pulling into a parking spot in a parking structure. I was coasting into the spot and applied the brakes. Upon releasing the break and allowing the car to coast, it unintentionally lurched forward with some acceleration even though I did not press on the gas petal. This results in the car lurching forward and hitting the parking garage wall. A call to the dealer indicated there is no reported problems of this kind and there are no recalls.
The contact owns a 2026 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH with the Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control feature activated, the vehicle independently decelerated unintendedly. The vehicle resumed normal driving operation immediately after the failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where the contact alerted a service technician that the Forward Collision Avoidance: Adaptive Cruise Control failure was an issue with the Apple CarPlay feature.
