The contact owned a 2002 Honda Cr-v. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently. The contact depressed the brake pedal; however, the brakes failed to slow the vehicle. The contact crashed into a guardrail. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to the contact's residence. The contact sustained scratches and bruises to the upper arm and body that did not require medical attention. The vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v370000 (air bags) and 15v320000 (air bags). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,000.
While the engine is under load in a 2002 crv-ex Honda, if the driver pulses the brake pedal twice rapidly there is dramatic brake failure. In a panic stop, if the driver presses on both the gas pedal and the brake pedal in this timing, there would be no braking power. If the driver suggested the brakes failed, there would be no other evidence to support the claim without performing this test as the brakes will thereafter perform normally. I have demonstrated the failure to Honda mechanics with a privately owned car and they duplicated the occurrence in a dealer car. They have researched the Honda technical databases and could not find any references to the brake failure or a way to fix it.
