The engine suddenly accelerated in a parking garage. The brakes slowed the car on the first acceleration, but almost immediately the engine again revved-- to a shrill, loud sound like that of a jet engine. Result : car rammed into a support pillar in the garage; airbag deployed, and I was wearing my seat belt. Car may be totaled, still awaiting estimate from insurance. I spent 4 days in the hospital for surgery on my broken arm, multiple bruises and swollen face, and will not be able to drive for 3-4 months.
I was driving out of a parking lot of an outdoor shopping mall, suddenly the car did not move at all. I shifted to l1 to see how it would react. No movement. Shifted to l2, still the car did not budge at all. Finally, I shifted to r, then, it moved backward. I put the shift into d, and then o. K. I remember, in the past, the car hesitated to start out after a stop at intersections. I contacted the local dealer. They say they cannot do much because the problem has to be replicated to diagnose it. I told them, I or any one could replicate the problem. Anyway, I told them I am bringing in my car tomorrow. But I am afraid if the same problem happens on the busy sreet on my way to the dealer. I will appreciate to let me know if any one had experienced the problem. If no one has reported so far, I would like this problem registered on your data base. Thank you.
When cruising along at a constant speed and trying to accelerate to pass a car, the Cr-v does not downshift to an appropriate lower gear. The car actually slows down as the accelerator pedal is further depressed. The motor bogs down. If the accelerator pedal is pressed down abnormally far, the car may then drop into a lower gear. When driving up a hill and additional power is needed the same symptoms occur. The transmission does not always downshift and the engine bogs down with minimal power. These are both intermittent problems. There is a Honda TSB 10-077 which may address the issue. It can be potentially dangerous as the engine has very little power when this occurs.
