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.

Honda put the CR-V lidar censor behind the logo emblem on the front grill. The logo is easy to remove, and the censors are being stolen at alarming rates. They're utterly unprotected, and cost over $2000 to fix/replace. It is a huge design flaw and it's unfair that they've saddled car owners with no ability to prevent theft, and huge replacement fees if a theft occurs. I just had the logo emblem stolen and it cost over $320 to replace. That's unacceptable and I'm really mad at whoever designed this car.

My car is a total lemon/brick that goes into limp mode and gets stuck in accessory mode. It's a brand new Honda CR-V 2025 less than 1250 miles. Its completely useless and makes me late for work. The car is not drivable when this happens. All safety systems are disabled, battery light, check engine light. The car states "See Dealer", but the dealer refuses to work on my car. I need to report this as a safety concern so that this will turn into a recall as Honda says they are aware of the issue and can read the error codes.
