Cruise Control problems of the 2010 Honda CR-V

This has happened twice. In April 2013, I was driving on an interstate. To avoid hitting a slowing car, I tapped the brake and turned the wheel slightly to move completely back into the right lane. The car accelerated exponentially, as if overdrive had been turned off or cruise control had kicked in (cruise was not on). The car sped uncontrollably first toward the right shoulder and then to the left while I turned the wheel to stay on the road. This happened half a dozen times before the car finally stopped. The second event occurred while pulling into a front end parking space at an office building. Speed was not sufficient to register on the odometer. Tapping the brake caused the car to accelerate as described previously, heading toward a brick wall about 8 feet away. I removed my foot from the brake, but the car continued to accelerate. I was able to turn the car and avoid the wall, but took out all the front plantings, a light pole and a small tree, doing almost $3,000 damage to my car plus more for the building. I immediately took the car to my local Honda service. Their response: we could not duplicate the problem. Bring it back when this happens again. For a while I have accepted this diagnosis, but another occurrence could cause serious injury to property, to me or to others. I have read of other incidents with this vehicle. I am pursuing this matter with Honda. This must be fixed!.

2010 Honda Cr-v. The driver experienced a vehicle malfunction and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The driver was then rear ended by another vehicle that was following too closely. The consumer stated he activated the cruise control and then felt it disengage as he slowed down. However, approximately 30 seconds after the disengagement, the brakes seized completely and caused the vehicle to come to an abrupt stop. (ohio traffic crash report # 10-0706-91) updated 01/14/11.
