THREE TIMES DANGEROUS AND UNWANTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING AT STOP LIGHT. ENGINE SEVERELY REVVED UP, HAD TO PUT VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL. TOOK IT INTO HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THEY HAD THEIR MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE NEXT DAY WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE DISTRICT SERVICE MANAGER AND HE HAD IT RECHECKED AND HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. HE COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE COULDN'T DO ANYTHING MORE. SINCE THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM, HE SAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT TO SEE IF THE SITUATION RECURRED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW SIX MONTH OLD CAR AND HAVE LOST FAITH IN ITS RELIABILITY. *TR

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 STREET 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. *KB

I BOUGHT A NEW 2011 HONDA CR V AND HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE ENGINE MAINTAINED ITS SPEED OR ACCELERATED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE AND TRIED TO STOP. THE WORST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WITH CARS IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED BRAKE AND CAR STOPPED BUT ENGINE RACED. I HAD TO APPLY VERY STRONG PRESSURE TO BRAKE TO HOLD CAR IN PLACE. ENGINE WAS RACING AND CAR WAS PULLING FORWARD. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE AND THEN I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COME FROM ENGINE LIKE A WASHING MACHINE MAKES WHEN IT IS OUT OF BALANCE. I WAS VERY SCARED. I TURNED ENGINE OFF AND THEN AT GREEN LIGHT TURNED ENGINE ON AND IT WAS OK. THIS HAPPENED FOUR SEPARATE TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAD JUST OVER 200 MILES ON IT, JUST OVER 400 MILES, 723 MILES, AND 819 MILES. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON BOTH GAS AND BRAKE, THE MATS ARE THE HONDA MATS THAT COME WITH CAR AND ARE FASTENED TO THE FLOOR AND WERE NOT ON THE GAS. THIS REALLY HAPPENED, VERY SCARY. REPORTED TO HONDA AND TOOK CAR IN TWICE. HONDA SAID THERE WERE NO CODES AND THE BRAKES LOOKED OK. THEY SAID TO CALL AMERICAN HONDA WHICH I DID. I REPORTED IT AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA SAID SOMEONE WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH ME THE NEXT DAY. ITS BEEN A WEEK AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 40 DAYS AND DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 850 MILES AND THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES AND BEEN IN THE SHOP TWICE. HONDA SAYS THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE AND THAT I SHOULD JUST LET THEM KNOW WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THEY HAVE NOT TESTED ANYTHING WITH THE IDLE OR THE THROTTLE STICKING ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. *TR
