As I was pulling into a parking space inside a parking structure, ground floor, my car suddenly accelerated, jumped the curb, going through landscape hedge and landing on front hood of a parked vehicle outside of the parking structure. I heard the engine accelerate, but had no way of stopping or controlling the car. A very similar accident took place in this car on [xxx]. Same situation: pulling into a parking space, car suddenly accelerates; no way to stop vehicle in time to avoid accident. A separate incident report has been submitted to NHTSA. Gov on June 11, 2026 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Date of accident: April 13, 2026 I drove into our church parking lot and then parked next to my husband’s car and was totally stopped and in the parking space. I thought I had my foot on the brake. After a split second, it accelerated and jumped the curb of the parking space at a very fast speed. I had no control of the car. I sheared off a heavy metal sidewalk railing and was headed for the brick church (church is on a berm above parking lot), but I managed to steer away to miss the church and a large tree. I steered off the berm and into empty parking lot – still traveling at high speed. I finally threw it into neutral to get it to stop because it was continuing toward a busy street with lots of traffic. Neutral stopped it. No air bags deployed. The front and side of the car that hit the metal railing sustained $6,500 damage. Towed it to collision repair. When we asked at the columbia, mo, Honda dealer’s service department, they said because the air bags didn’t deploy, that it was probably operator’s error and nothing they could do. We didn’t feel that it was operator error and reported to the assistant general manager of Honda in a personal meeting. We asked to have the Honda field engineer exam the car. Instead, they had their district service supervisor exam the car. Their conclusion: they could find nothing wrong with the car. After reading online reports of almost identical accidents with this model, we decided it was too dangerous to drive and sold it back to the Honda dealer.
I am reporting a potential safety recall violation by Honda mall of georgia (3699 buford dr, buford, GA 30519). My vehicle experienced engine noise, vibration, and warning indicators, which the dealership attributed to 'fuel contamination' to deny warranty coverage (attached), and charged approximately $3,392. 99 for repairs. However, I have a certified laboratory analysis (attached) from the georgia department of agriculture confirming the fuel met all state quality standards and had no contamination at costco gas. Costco also provided supporting document (attached) that there was no contamination and there were no other customers reporting such issue. The vehicle required a second repair (attached) for the engine issue immediately after the first, further proving the failure was not 'bad fuel' related. Despite my state-certified proof, the dealer refuses to provide any documentation for their claim of 'bad fuel. ' I believe the dealership has intentionally misdiagnosed a known defect covered under federal safety recall 24v-763 / qk8 (cracked high-pressure fuel pump) to avoid performing a free recall repair.
Started with what sounds like a pump running after car shut down then today whole garage smelled like gasoline.
On 3/17/26, my husband and I started heading n on rt 83 to a medical appointment in our 2025 Honda Cr-v touring sport. We were doing between 40 to 50 miles/hr. Twenty minutes later, we smelled faint smoke which was attributed to the trucks driving around us. Upon exit to our next route we immediately came to a red light and stopped and found heavy dark smoke coming from inside the front of our hood. We slowly moved to the r lane to get to a strip parking lot to move vehicle to a safe spot. When we finally found a safe parking a vehicle stopped to alert us of a noticeable fire at the bottom front of the Honda. We jumped out and 911 was called. By the time police, followed by the fire dept, the front of my Cr-v was engulfed by fire. I had just purchased this 2025 touring sport from carmax 6 months earlier and it had just 7091 miles to it. My insurance and Honda were notified and claim and case #s were filed. Insurance offered a settlement but no word yet from Honda. Inspections were performed by both. Insurance inspectors report it as potential mechanical failure. Honda should offer reparations for the loss of my vehicle and placing our lives and those around us in danger.
Enter the parking spot and vehicle accelerated, hitting a building and a tree.
My 2025 Honda crv hybrid seems to randomly accelerate on its own. This has happened at least 4 or 5 times over the past year. At first I thought I was imagining it but then I noticed it happened again, multiple times. Each time I was not pressing the gas pedal nor at any time was I using cruise control. I never use the cruise control. The vehicle seems to accelerate on its on for about 3-4 seconds then stops when I press the break. Clearly uncontrollable and unexpected acceleration of the vehicle puts me, my passengers and others are at risk. I called my local Honda dealer service department and was told that unless I can recreate the random and spontaneous acceleration at the dealership then they won't be able to diagnosis or write for the issue. The Honda service rep said sense I have no idea when it is going to happen again he cannot set a appointment for me to come in without having a current issue. Because the acceleration is random and because I cannot recreate it at will, the problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center and the vehicle has not been inspected. The acceleration issue is random and spontaneous with no warning lamps, no messages and no other symptoms prior to. Once it stops it may no happen again for weeks or months. However as mentioned about it has happened at least 4 to 5 times within the past year with the most recent occurrence on March 6th 2026 ----end-----.
While pulling into a parking spot and coming to a stop, the brakes failed and the car abruptly accelerated forward despite attempts to continue braking. The car proceeded over the curb and raised hilly grassy median and only came to a stop when it collided with a parked vehicle on the other side of the median. I, as the driver, had no control of the vehicle and could have potentially hit a pedestrian in this parking lot. There was a person seated in the car that my car impacted and she could have been hurt as well as myself and my passenger. All of this was reported to the community service officer who came to the scene, as well as to the coggin collision center, coggin Honda dealership and my insurance company. My insurance company has sent an appraiser to the collision center but he did not investigate the causative factors, only the body damage so far. There were no warning lamps or messages and the airbags did not deploy despite frontal impact. The car is currently at the Honda collision center and would be available for inspection.
As I was pulling into a parking space, the car suddenly accelerated, ran through bushes, down a slope across a sidewalk hitting a city utility box. And jumped the curb finally stopping on the street. No other vehicles were involved and no injuries. I did not report at the time of the incident, because I thought I must have done something wrong. However a similar event occurred on may 29, 2026 (see complaint #11743489) which leads me to believe there may be a defect in the car.
Vehicle: 2025 Honda crv hybrid sports touring VIN: [xxx] the vehicle is subject to an active recall involving the high-pressure fuel pump, which may leak fuel and create a fire hazard. Dispute prior dealer inspections, the during cold starts, abnormal ticking/ knocking noise from the high-pressure fuel pump area. The recall repair was not completed, and the defect remain unresolved. I'm concerned about potential fire risk and safety hazard. The repair didn't fix it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Fuel injectors failed at less than 3,000 miles. Two fuel injectors failed, per Honda service department, and it never recorded or served any error codes when they checked the history. It also did not display any dashboard warnings. I only knew there was an issue from heavy transition between gas and ev mode, and there was a strong burning odor in the cabin. Caused lightheartedness and coughing for occupants.
Over a distance of 1,718 miles, I measured my vehicle’s actual fuel consumption by recording odometer readings and fuel volume at each refill. I then compared these values to the average fuel economy (mpg) displayed on the vehicle's trip computer. The dashboard consistently underreported fuel consumption by approximately 8% ± 2%, always showing more optimistic (I. E. , better) fuel economy than actually achieved. This discrepancy is repeatable and was observed over multiple refueling intervals. The vehicle and its onboard display system are available for inspection upon request. This inaccurate fuel economy reading does not present a direct safety hazard, but it can mislead drivers into overestimating range and efficiency, and may influence consumer decisions based on performance data that does not match real-world usage. Additionally, such behavior—if widespread—could be considered a form of consumer deception. I submitted a detailed written request to an authorized Honda dealership (victory Honda of san bruno) asking them to compare actual fuel consumption to the displayed value under controlled conditions. However, the dealership did not perform the required measurements or reset the trip computer, and no technical analysis or documentation was provided. The manufacturer’s customer service reviewed the complaint but closed the case without addressing the technical discrepancy or providing a specification that defines acceptable error for the fuel economy display. There were no warning lights, error messages, or symptoms indicating a malfunction. The issue was discovered independently through manual tracking of fuel usage versus mileage. I have attached documentation including my full correspondence with Honda customer service, fuel receipts for each fill-up, photographs of the dashboard display showing average fuel consumption, and the official service report from victory Honda.
Experienced a sudden unintended acceleration while parking the vehicle. Right front tire climbed up on a parking barrier (shortened telephone pole) and damaged the right front bumper. No warning or trouble lights were on at that time, however, after restarting vehicle and heading home approximately half a mile down the road, all the warning and trouble lights came on, the steering wheel started shaking and the car wasn’t drivable. We have no idea if there is concealed damage underneath the vehicle. We called Honda roadside assistance and they came and took the vehicle to the closest Honda dealership. At this time, we’re waiting to hear from them.
Last week noticed my car to start shaking from the front area when I went from a full stop and began accelerating. When I also turn on my vehicle and it was idling it would shake too. I took it to the dealer and they said they couldn’t find the issue until I got in the car with them and showed them the noise. They said today that it needs new fuel injectors. I bought my car at 0 miles and it had 7,800 miles when I noticed the issue.
Fuel injector failure. Causing spark plug and emission problems. Vehicle 5100 miles.
As I was driving it felt as if the car was running a bit rough, hesitating/sputtering a bit when I pressed on or let up on the gas. As I pulled into the grocery store parking lot and slowed to go over a speed bump I noticed what looked like the battery indicator show up next to the speedometer & completely lost power. I put it in neutral and tried to restart it. It was as if the battery had run down and then it finally caught but sputtered. I revved the engine and was finally able to pull into a parking spot. I shut the car down for a couple minutes then restart it to drive back home. It still did the hesitation/sputtering thing on the way home. It continued the next day on my 20 mile commute into work but has been driving fine for a couple days now.
While driving at highway speeds with the moonroof open, unburnt fuel can be smelled in the cabin. Dealer was able to confirm fuel smell.
-the fuel injection system failed on my brand new Honda crv and the engine light came on at around ~3,000 miles. Since the fuel injectors were replaced, the same problems and noises occur, but the Honda service repair cannot find a problem. The fuel injectors continue to fail, erratically using too much or too little gas during -trips with mpg well below the reported 38-40 mpg. - the car malfunctioned while I was out running errands. - the problem was confirmed by a dealer who replaced the fuel injectors, but the same problems persist and the dealer hasn't fixed it. - the manufacturer representative at Honda corporate office customer care refused to address concerns and it has not been inspected by anyone except a Honda dealer. -the engine warning light came on ~3,000 miles during the first fuel injection failure.
When starting my car, it started rumbling and then the following alerts came transmission, emissions, power, and blind spot sensor. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they noted that cylinder 4 fuel injector went bad and also cylinder 4 spark plug went bad. It was covered under warranty; however the car was not safe to drive until the above parts were changed out to working parts.
Car suddenly lost power and would not drive. Odometer only at 4,062 miles. Diagnosis was bad fuel injection system. From reviews online, seems to be a not uncommon problem. Could have caused a major accident if occurred on the highway. Was lucky I was on a lonely country road early in the morning close to home. Honda is repairing at no cost but very concerned that brand new vehicle had such a serious issue without any recall notice.
It has become increasingly more difficult to steer my car and I have sought repair from Honda for months to no avail. My brand new crv is almost un-drivable and it is my only car.
I was driving to the mailbox today and the car revved forward and the steering became hard to control and steer. This is the second incident. When I originally reported to the supervisong service agent at my Honda of katy, mr. John kasimoff, he dismissed it since the "check engine light" did not turn off. He and the staff at Honda of katy discouraged me from bringing in the car. I am afraid to drive the car in texas. A car is necessary for my livelihood and to get around. Food shopping and to buy simple basic necessities require an automobile and can no longer afford taking ubers and depend on the kindness of friends to assist me with deliveries and other transportation. The recall came merely days after purchasing my new car and it's suspect to me that no one at the dealership was unaware of ongoing issues when they keep contacting me about purchasing. Honda has yet to send information on when a possible solution for parts and service to my vehicle. They referred me to the Honda of katy dealership but the dealership is referring me back to Honda automotive. I need assistance because I want repairs and a full diagnostic made to my Honda Cr-v hybrid sport without any more delays.
Honda 2025 Cr-v awd. Fuel mileage decreased from 31 mpg to 22 mpg on [xxx] on [xxx] highway trip leaving vernon hills, illinois with cruise control and economy mode set. There was no engine performance problem and no errors were indicated. The car dashboard displayed the average mileage as 22-23 mpg while leaving our hotel and stayed that way most of the day. So the decreased fuel mileage most likely was a fuel leak. Then late in the day, the fuel mileage increased back to 26 mpg. Poor fuel mileage with a small fuel tank is dangerous on [xxx] in kansas and eastern colorado. This is due to the wide distances between fuel stops. There really is nothing out there due to lack of water. If fuel was leaking, that is also a fire hazard. Took to car to dealer for diagnosis. No fault was found. I asked them about the fuel pump recall and they said that they would notify me when the replacement part was available for my car. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle displayed a “critial power failure” on the highway twice while under 1000 miles odometer. Vehicle acceleration stopped and car coasted. Needed to pull over and shut off. After turning on displayed “emissions system failure” warning for about 48 hours then cleared. Vehicle stalled twice while driving on the highway with no power. Very dangerous as one time I had nowhere to pull over while my car slowed to a stop. Children were very scared in the backseat.
The high voltage battery is easily accessible to the consumer with no protection around it…. As it sits slightly elevated in the cavity where the spare wheel/tire are supposed to be…. (which have been eliminated). This cavity could easily by accident or intention be filled with liquid thereby setting up a potential situation for severe injury or death.
This is a complaint about the unresolved recall that I have been put on a waitlist for many months now. The dealership said that Honda will mail me when the parts will be ready for repaired, but it’s been many months since the NHTSA saying the remedy is available. My appointment with the dealership had been canceled the last minute by my dealership after a promise of a mailing notice, but time has flew long enough. I am afraid for my safety on the road as my new vehicle is completely within the range of damage for the unresolved remedy.
I have two recalls (1, improper production of the high-pressure fuel pump; and 2, improperly produced steering gearbox worm wheel) on my car that I have called multiple dealerships about remedying - each time, they have let me know the necessary parts to repair are on back order. I'm most worried about my future safety being at risk considering I have plans to travel long distance soon (one way trip is 12 hours) - I called one of my local Honda dealerships about this concern and they said 'if you don't have any issues now, there's nothing to worry about' - which was quite dismissive. The vehicle/affect components have not been inspected by anyone. Up to this point, there have been no warning indicators of any kind , other than documentation of the recalls from Honda manufacturer.
