2005 Honda CR-V Driver assistance Problems

I was driving in town so, each block has either a stop sign or a traffic light. I realized that my brake pad seemed to get spongy. At the red light as I was nervous that there was something wrong I looked down and seen a light blinking but, it was my oil light. After heading to the next block my brakes were suddenly not doing anything and the pedal went down to the floor. I was not going fast so I decided that if I had to I would pull the emergency brake. I did that as well to no avail. I went to the closest parking lot and checked all my fluid. My oil was fine, my brake fluid was low. I added brake fluid and went on my way. The following day I left my home as usual and another light came on. The oxygen sensor. I'm not sure why the vehicle is doing this as I do keep up with maintenance. I have spoken with a mechanic , his assessment was it could be anything yet seems to be electrical. I did some research do to the fact that my car has been with me since 2009 (used). I would love to keep my car for as many more years as possible but, I also have to be safe. At this point it has to be something wrong with the products I'm using on my vehicle.

Slowed down to turn left into a driveway. As I turned, the car accelerated and the engine RPM crossed 5000. Had the brakes depressed but the vehicle accelerated and crashed into the garage door. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or an independent service center. The smog check was performed at a test center less than a month ago and passed. Engine light came on intermittently a couple times between the smog test and the day of the crash.

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT SKIPS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED, THEN WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY "DIES", THE GENERAL WARNING SIGNAL AND THE VSA/ABS/AIRBAG/BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE SNAPS BACK ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RETRIEVED FAILURE CODES IN THE ABS CONTROL MODULE: YAW RATE SENSOR FAILURE; SENSOR CLUSTER FAILURE. THE DEALER RESET THE CODES, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND HAS BEEN PARKED SINCE 6/1/17. I CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER, BUT HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE SINCE FILING THE COMPLAINT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE SYMPTOMS ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE CODES, I DISCOVERED THAT THE NHTSA HAD HONDA RECALL THE 2005 PILOT, ACURA MDX AND ACURA RLS. I HAVE A VIDEO OF IT HAPPENING BUT AM UPLOADING SCREENSHOTS. BUT I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE VIDEO, THE SAME VIDEO I SHOWED THE DEALER.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, TOOK OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, AND PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE. MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE, BUT THE CAR TOOK OFF AT A HIGH SPEED AS IF I HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, AND WOULD NOT STOP WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I THREW THE GEAR INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN SEPTEMBER 2009 WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY. AT THAT TIME THE BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR, SO I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OFF THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. IN SEPTEMBER 2009 I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD NOT TO BRING THE CAR IN, THAT I MUST HAVE HAD THE MAT JAMMED ON TOP OF THE GAS PEDAL. THAT WAS NOT THE CASE TODAY OR IN 2009. THIS ISBA DEADLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AND PUT OUT AN ALERT ON TV TO ALL CAR OWNERS THAT IF THEIR CAR SHOULD GET STUCK IN ACCELERATION MODE THEY SHOULD PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION. THANK YOU. *TR

TWICE TODAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CRV, I LET UP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE RPM DIAL CONTINUED TO CLIMB UP. ONCE I TAPPED THE BRAKES THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE FIRST TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS JUST A FLUKE BUT IT DID THE SAME THING LATER IN THE DAY. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE, A 2005 HONDA CRV WITH 56,781 MILES CURRENTLY, AND NO LONGER COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. AT @ 55,500 MILES,THE CAR HAD THE ABS AND VSA LIGHTS COME ON SPONTANEOUSLY ON THE DASHBOARD DISPLAY WHICH INDICATED THAT THEY WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL. THEY WOULD NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO ITS REGULAR SERVICE DEALERSHIP, ECONOMY HONDA IN CHATTANOOGA,TN AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED (FREE OF CHARGE) AS A FAILURE OF THE ABS/VSA MODULATOR (COMPUTER). COST TO REPAIR WAS @ $2,400.00 (@ $1800 FOR THE PART, BALANCE LABOR). THEY SAID IT WAS O.K. TO DRIVE BUT IT HAD NO ANTI-LOCK BRAKES OR VSA. BECAUSE THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR, I CONTACTED THE DISTRICT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE (CASE # N012011-03-1501146) AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE MOST HELPFUL AND COURTEOUS. THEY RECORDED THE COMPLAINT AND AFTER 3 DAYS HONDA CALLED AND AGREED TO SHARE 50% OF THE COST TO REPAIR. THE CRV WAS REPAIRED ON MARCH 29,2011 AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WITH MY COST SHARE OF $1206.79. IN MY INTERNET SEARCH ON THE PROBLEM, I FOUND AT LEAST 55 INSTANCES (USA, CA, AND EU) OF THE SAME ABS/VSA PROBLEM AND COST TO REPAIR ON ONE BLOG I FOUND. ALL VEHICLES WERE 2005 AND 2006 HONDA CRVS. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) [XXX] I AM WRITING YOU FOR THE ACCIDENT IN SEPT. 12, 2009, I DROVE THE HONDA 2006 CRV SE IN THE LOCAL ROAD NAMED CONCORD FARM NORTH BOUND. BEFORE STOP SIGN, I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BRAKE, AS USUAL IT STOPPED BEFORE THE STOP SIGN, BUT THAT DAY IT DID NOT. AT THE MOMENT I REALIZED I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR, I WAS THINKING TO CROSS ROAD, BUT THERE WAS NO TIME TO REACT I GOT HIT BY THE CAR WHO TRAVELED ON THE ROAD PERPENDICULAR TO MY DIRECTION. THIS ACCIDENT WAS CONSIDERED AS MY MISTAKE. SINCE I DID NOT HAVE COLLISION INSURANCE AND THE CAR WAS TOTALED WHICH IS THE BIG FINANCIAL LOSS (ACTUAL MARKET VALUE ESTIMATED IN $20K) IN MY LIFE. AT THE SAME TIME I SUFFERED THE BURNING ON ARM FROM THE AIRBAG POPUP AND FREQUENT NOISE ON EARS. UNTIL TODAY I STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH INSURANCE COMPANY ON MEDIAL COVERAGE. I AM THE CAREFUL DRIVER AND NEVER HAVE HAD ANY ACCIDENT CAUSED BY MYSELF. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPEN ON THE DAY AT THE TIME. AT THE BEGINNING I BLAME THE BRAKE, WHICH MIGHT BE WORE OUT SINCE I JUST HAVE TIRES REPLACED (THE LIFE TIME FOR THE TIRES SHOULD BE 6 YEARS OR OVER 70K MILES BUT ACTUALLY WORE OUT IN 3 YEARS AND 45K MILES). BUT THE TECHNICIAN NEVER WARNS ME FOR REPLACING BRAKES. AFTER I REPORTED MY SUSPICIOUS TO THE INSURANCE COMPANY THEN THERE WAS A PHONE MESSAGE FROM SOME ONE DECLARED THE BRAKE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION (I ASSUME THE PHONE MESSAGE WAS FROM INSURANCE COMPANY). ANY WAY I HAVE TO ADMIT ALL ARE MY OWN BAD LUCK. RECENTLY I WATCHED THE NEWS AND LEARNED THAT TOYOTA HAS RECALL OVER A LOT OF MODELS FOR ACCELERATOR PROBLEM AND I NOTICED THAT BOTH THE ELECTRONIC AND MECHANIC COMPONENTS USED ON ACCELERATORS ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY CTS. WE KNEW IT TOOK TOYOTA ABOUT 8 YEARS TO EVENTUALLY ADMIT THEIR DESIGN PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE HONDA MIGHT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS TOYOTA. FROM A CUSTOMER POINT OF VIEW I WANT TO KNOW THE STATISTICS ON HONDA CRV ACCIDENT ON 2006 MODEL. *TR

I HAD JUST COME OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURNED ONTO A STATE ROAD. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR THE UPCOMING INTERSECTION, WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STARTED SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL AND THE BRAKES COULD NOT STOP MY CAR FROM SLAMMING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER THE CRASH, THE WOMAN I HIT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR REVVED WILDLY. THIS WAS LATER NOTED BY THE WOMAN I HIT, AS WELL. IN DESPERATION I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND LET THE CAR ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE FIREMEN DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FOR SAFETY. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME, HE RECONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE CAR STARTED ITSELF UP AND BEGAN TO REV. THE DRIVER SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I HAVE HIS NAME AND NUMBER. THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND I WAS FORTUNATE TO ONLY RECEIVE WHIPLASH AND MY DOG SEEMS OK. THE OTHER DRIVER HAS BACK PROBLEMS BUT WAS FORTUNATELY DRIVING A NISSAN XTERRA THAT DID NOT GET NEARLY THE DAMAGE MY CAR RECEIVED. I AM JUST SO THANKFUL THAT MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR, AND THAT THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS OR CHILDREN IN FRONT OF ME. *NM
