general problems of the 1999 Honda CR-V

Three problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 1999 Honda CR-V. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2019

Honda Cr-v 1999 doesn't shift into 2 gear or 3rd like it use to. Serpentine belts go out quick. The a/c isn't cool or cool enough and it's been checked. The �d� drive symbol doesn't appear anymore like a fuse blew out or something. At times it'll appear as though my e brake is on when it's not. When the a/c is on, the vehicle rattles and or jumps like it wants to shut off. I believe it's a wiring issue as well.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Speed suddenly dropped/car died while accelerating around 70mph on fwy. Fortunately was in the 2nd furthest ln to the right and could get to the shoulder. Car has also died unexpectedly, without warning 2x while stopped at traffic lights in the last week.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2002

I was driving on a dual highway at approx 55 mph, I took my foot off the accelerator coming into a reduced speed area and the car continued to accelerate at a fast pace and high speed. I pulled into the center lane and applied brakes, the engine continued to run at full speed. I was able to reduce the speed to approx 45 mph and jammed the vehicle into park. The engine continued to roar. I did not turn the vehicle off until assistance arrived. I knew no one would beleive me. I had the car towed to the dealer where I purchased the vehicle. The dealer maintenance and sales personnel wittinessed the starting of the vehicle and the engine again continuing to roar at aroung 8,000 rpms immediately once the key was turned. I contacted Honda american and was told they had no responsibility due to the vehicle being out of warranty. My car has been inspected by the dealer maintenance personnel and they have found no mechanical reason for this incident. The car stopped roaring as fast as it started. No one wants to touch my car, the dealer does not even want as a trade in due to thier fear. I am concerned this is a safety issue and would like to pursue the matter. Hondas technical personnal still have not identified a reason for this problem.
