I experienced unintended sudden acceleration of the vehicle on 11/29/2019 around 1pm. I was slowing to a stop a a stop sign when the engine suddenly revved up to above 3000rpm. I immediately applied the brakes with more force and stopped the vehicle while the engine continued to rev between 3000 and 5000rpm. While holding the brakes firmly, I shut off the engine and then confirmed that my foot was only on the brake pedals and not touching the accelerator. There happens to be a police officer behind me at the time and he came up to my vehicle to see what the problem was. I explained the issue and he suggested I start the vehicle again to see if the problem still persists. I did so and immediately the engine revved up again above 3000 rpms. The police officer concurred that this was not normal and I shut off the engine again. By this time a second officer arrived on the scene. After consulting briefly, they were about to call a tow truck for me when the second officer suggested that I try starting the vehicle one more time. When I did, the vehicle returned to normal operations. I took my vehicle to the Honda dealership immediately upon returning home. However, after inspection, the technician was not able to identify any problems. This is the second time I have taken this vehicle to the dealership for this issue because I have experienced the same problem multiple times in the past under similar conditions.
I was pulling my Honda crv into a short driveway to park in front of a closed garage door. My speed was less than 5 mph. As I was in the driveway within 5-6 feet of the closed garage door, the engine revved and car suddenly accelerated. I could no longer feel the accelerator directly under my foot and applying the brake did nothing to stop the car. Acceleration continued, car went through garage door and crashed into concrete wall at the back of the garage. Not sure what speed the car was traveling when crash occurred. Given the short distance, maybe 20-30 mph. Airbags deployed. No issue with floor mats or other objects near the accelerator.
Sudden acceleration. Had foot on the brake in a parking spot, the car suddenly accelerated. The engine raced and the car propelled forward, jumped the curb and stopped when hitting a tree. The accelerator pedal was not touched, and the braked did not hold it. Luckily, no one was in front of the car. Honda has denied any responsibility, and the dealer could not duplicate the problem. Have had the car for 3 months, and 1800 miles. Obviously, the first time this has happened. Now we are afraid to get the car, since someone may be killed the next time the car decides to act up. Please help.
