The contact owns a 2020 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked, and the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, there was an abnormal sound coming from underneath the vehicle. The steering wheel, abs, tpms, and braking system warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was more prominent while turning to the right and depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure became progressively worse. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #2

Started vehicle and it lit up with every warning imaginable. Dealership said it's the Honda sensing unit is defective. After reviewing online, it certainly seems everyone's unit is defective. . Now we were quoted 3k to fix safety related stuff. Can't afford to fix so now, just driving it until it crashes! woohoo fun! and no recall!.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #3

I was turning left into a parking spot at work with my foot slightly on the break when my engine revvved and my car accelerated at face pace and my brakes were unresponsive causing me to hit a parked truck in front of me. Upon impact my vehicle kept trying to accelerate causing me to keep pushing the truck until my front right side of my car broke off. My car still kept accelerating and went across the concrete parking block and finally came to a complete stop. Once stopped I could not get the vehicle to turn off. Within minutes the engine finally died. I work inside a chemical plant right next to a highly explosive unit so this could have been catastrophic. Not to mention the people that work there were coming into work as well and could have been pinned between the two vehicles. The plant I work at has thousands of employees. Had I been leaving work and crossing the highway and this occurred I would have been killed and most likely so would have others. I exit my job onto an extremely busy highway. A police report was not filed because it was inside the plant but several people witnessed it. I had to have my vehicle towed as it was too damaged to drive. I have not contacted Honda because I have seen numerous unresolved complaints so I doubt it would help. Prior to this accident I had no problems with the vehicle. My vehicle is in this shop still as this incident just happened 2 days ago. I would like to get rid of the vehicle but then someone else may buy it and have the same issue.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #4

The contact owns a 2020 Honda Hr-v. The contact stated that while driving at a low speed attempting to park, the vehicle jumped the curb and accelerated and crashed into a fence. There were no warning lights illuminated. A police report was filed. There was no air bag deployment, injuries, or fire. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was unknown.

Vehicle Speed Control problem #5

Sometimes when I am driving on any road flat, incline, up a hill/mountain trying to merge into traffic/pass a vehicle. I think I covered all of the situations. There is a dramatic loss of power or a play or something where I have to push the accelerator all the way to the floor in order for it to get gas or gain speed to pass or to accomplish the task at hand. My 2020 Hr-v only has a little over 17,500 miles. I also only put in gas from qt which is a top tier gasoline. So I don’t know what the problem is but I am going to end up having a wreck because of this or worse dying because of this problem.
