I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes. As I drove along I-575 - a 4-lane highway - I noticed a kind of power surge from my engine. My speedometer registered 80 mph! I applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 mph, and then it started to creep back up. I exited at that point, knowing I needed help. I was still going much too fast. I looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds I was faced with a red light with 4 lanes of cross traffic (george busby parkway) - I couldn't stop the car! so I took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle. Thank god the car finally stopped. I was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar. The crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and I only sustained a broken wrist. The air bag did not deploy. My insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!.
While passing another vehicle driving under the speed limit (25 mph in a 45 mph zone). I accelerated to pass, my car began to speed faster and faster without me being able to control or stop the vehicle. Both feet were slammed on the brake pedal but we reached 70mph, but I couldn't stop the car. I pulled the emergency brake and yet the car continued. We rode on both the brake pedal and emergency brake for at least a mile. It only slowed down a little, but I was able to drive on the shoulder and luckily didn't come to any stop signs or traffic lights. I was finally able to stop my vehicle n front of a restaurant by turning the ignition off, while still moving. With the car finally stopped, I put the car in park and immediately checked to make sure there was nothing obstructing the pedal causing it to accelerate. There was nothing. Nothing appeared obviously wrong under the hood, except a strong burning smell from the brakes. I turned the ignition on while in park and the speedometer went to 140 mph, the rpms red lined (without pushing the break or gas pedal). I turned the car off immediately. We then put the car in neutral and rolled it into the restaurants parking lot. I called aaa to have a tow truck bring the vehicle to a local mechanic. Luckily, I was able to stop the vehicle before any person was injured, killed or damaged property. The mechanic contacted me and recommended that he not touch it and to have Honda pick it up and take it back to the dealership for their mechanics look at it in case it was a manufacturer's defect. I went to the Honda dealer in person and spoke to the service manager, he was visibly alarmed by the events that happened on Sunday. He said that he would check the vehicle for any issues. Dealer picked up the vehicle from mechanic. The Honda dealer said they looked at the Cr-v and couldn't find anything.
Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Honda crv. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 40 mph, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to stop without warning.

Cruz control cuts out while driving a lot of forums on internet cruz control fails.
Three bolts hold on the clutch master cylinder cover. One bolt head head was sheared/blown off upon depressing the clutch pedal when starting the car. Brake fluid leaked out. Clutch was inoperable and power braking diminished. The clutch master cylinder was replaced and 11 months later the same incident occurred. The bolt head position that was blown/sheared off was the same in both incidents.
: the contact stated while applying brake pressure at 30 mph at a stop sign, the vehicle lurched forward followed by the illumination of the check engine light. Afterwards, the vehicle was able to be stopped by using firm brake pressure without incident. Upon inspection by a dealer, it was determined the throttle body needed to be replaced. After the replacement, the problem persisted. The manufacturer was contacted.

Car skips and hesitates when accelerating between 35 & 50 mph. Has caused 3 near accidents mainly due to being startled. Vehicle is unreliable and unsafe. Honda has replaced computer and oxygen sensor without improving the poor performance. Honda now takes the official position of "this is a characteristic of this model". I have asked that they take me out of the vehicle and Honda has refused.
