Car Throttle Stuck Problems of Honda CR-V

Stepped on the accelerator to pass another vehicle and throttle stuck at full speed. Pumped accelerator to no avail. Applied emergency brake and, literally, stood with both feet on the brakes. Engine still raced at full speed, and I was having difficulty controlling the vehicle. River on my right and oncoming traffic on my left. Saw a large, open yard and drove the car at high speed into the yard and turned off the key. When turning the engine back on, it still raced at full throttle with the transmission in park and the accelerator pedal not depressed. Had car towed home and evaluated by independent (not Honda) mechanic. His diagnosis was "carbon buildup in the throttle body. " emergency brake and regular brakes completely ruined during this incident and in need of replacement. Two grandchildren in vehicle with me. Everyone terrified, but no one hurt or injured. Repairs quoted as very expensive, plus the cost of new brakes. Did not want to ever drive this car again and disposed of it forthwith. Routine google search uncovered similar incidents with the 2004 and other year crv's.

I was driving a new 2004 Honda Cr-v, stopped at a stop sign and then turned left onto a one way street. I saw an SUV in front of me and applied the brakes. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle in the rear. That vehicle was knocked forward. I applied the brakes again. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle again in the rear. The air bags deployed. I yanked my vehicle to the right, and stepped on the brakes again. Nothing happened. I was finally able to straighten and stop the vehicle by pulling as hard as I could on the parking brake--and even then, I had to pull it twice, as far down as I could get it. The other driver wasn't injured and her vehicle had damage on the rear side. My left knee hit the dash and my hands hit the wheel and dash--sustaining some injury, and my right arm was burned by the air bag. My vehicle was totalled. The mechanic who looked at my Honda said that he couldn't tell for certain if the brakes had failed, or if the throttle was stuck full open prior to the accident. After the accident, the throttle was stuck full open.

Engine throttle stuck at full throttle, shifted to neutral to avoid collision.
