I WAS ACCELERATING FROM AN ON RAMP TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY. AFTER I WAS IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC, I HIT MY BRAKES TO KEEP PACE WITH THE TRAFFIC. MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY AND THE ENGINE WAS REVING. I MOVED THE SHIFTER TO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. I THEN HIT THE BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE CAR IN D3 AND CONTINUE TO TRY THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES FINALLY STARTED WORKING I PUT ON MY 4 WAY FLASHERS AND MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AS I SAT THERE I KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES TO INSURE THE PEDAL WOULD MOVE TOWARD THE FLOOR AND KEPT REVVING THE ENGINE TO BE SURE IT WOULD SLOW DOWN WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE GAS. I DID CALL THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT THE CAUSE WAS. THEY DID ASK IF I HAD FLOOR MATS. I DO HAVE FLOOR MAT, BUT I DO CHECK THEM TO BE SURE THEY ARE PULLED BACK AND NOT UNDER THE PEDALS.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND THE DAY I GOT ON IT BACK, 29JUN16, THE ABS/VSA SYSTEM HAD SHUTDOWN ON ME. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND WASN'T ABLE TO GET IT TAKEN CARE OF SINCE THE TECHNICIANS WERE GONE. TWO DAYS LATER THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID IT SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR WIRING ISSUE. AFTER HAVING THE SENSOR REPLACED THE SYSTEM STILL SHUTDOWN ON ME. AS OF YESTERDAY, AND SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DETERMINED THAT THE VSA MODULE HAD FAILED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT VSA MODULE FAILURE HAS OCCURRED BEFORE THAT LED UP TO A LAWSUIT AND RECALL ON VSA MODULES. I DON'T BELIEVE I'M THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE STILL HAVING VSA MODULE FAILURE ISSUES. IS THIS STILL A PROBLEM YOU GUYS ARE GETTING COMPLAINTS ABOUT? IS THERE ANY INFORMATION YOU GUYS CAN PROVIDE TO ME REGARDING THIS MATTER? I'VE ALREADY NOTIFIED HONDA OF USA ABOUT THIS AND AM NOW NOTIFYING YOU GUYS OF THE PROBLEM. THE SYSTEM HAS SHUTDOWN ON ME AT RANDOM. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR UP AND IT'S STILL IN PARK AND OTHER TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS WHETHER I'M BRAKING OR NOT.

TPMS SYSTEM ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)HAS FAULTED OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. EACH TIME THE FAULT RESULTED IN THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TURNING ON WITH NO WAY OF TURNING IT OFF WHICH ESSENTIALLY MEANS YOU ARE IN ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODE EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE DEALER WHO BASICALLY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO THE TPMS SYSTEM FAULTING OUT DUE TO RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE CAUSED BY A CELL PHONE CHARGER CORD PLUGGED INTO 12V ACCESSORY OUTLETS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN MORE THAN 49 MPH FOR OVER 20 MINUTES . THE RADIO INTERFERENCE AFFECTS MOST HONDA CARS. HONDA WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THE COST TO RESET THE TPMS SYSTEM.

BACK IN OCTOBER 2015, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ME TO THE AIRPORT AT 5 AM. AS WE APPROACHED TO TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE POWER STEERING DIED AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNED OFF. WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A DANGEROUS INTERSECTION WITH NO WAY TO FIX THE CAR. WE COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL TO PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD. THE POLICE CAME AND SOME GOOD SAMARITANS. SOMEONE FOUND A WAY TO MANUALLY POP SOMETHING OFF TO FORCE THE CAR TO SHIFT AND THAT'S HOW WE GOT THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WITH ME AT THE TIME TOO. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WHILE I WAS AWAY, THE MECHANIC SHOP LOOKED AT MY CAR AND SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER. THEY SAID IT WAS LIKE A 2K FIX. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE MILLENIUM HONDA BECAUSE THAT'S THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE. MILLENIUM HONDA FIXED IT AND SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION FUSE. NOW IT'S APRIL AND OUT OF NORMAL USE (MY CAR IS 2011 AND ONLY 54K MILE), THE CAR WON'T START. IT WAS FULLY FUNCTIONING THE NIGHT BEFORE AND NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. STATIONARY IN THE DRIVEWAY, IT WOULD NOT START. IT'S NOT THE BATTERY BECAUSE THAT WAS CHANGED IN MARCH. NO SOUND WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY. NOTHING WAS LEFT ON. TODAY, WAITING FOR DEALERSHIP TO COME TO A CONCLUSIVE RESOLUTION TO THE SITUATION. THIS HAS SHAKEN MY BELIEF IN THE RELIABILITY OF MY CAR. WHETHER IT'S A COMPUTER PROBLEM OR WHATEVER, IT IS PUTTING MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER IF IT DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. POWER STEERING OR ELECTRICAL FAILURE IS NOT OK. IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED ON THE ROAD. WHAT THEN? FIRST INCIDENT 10/31/15 AND NOW THIS ONE 4/17/16.

IN LATE AUGUST I PULLED INTO MY CHURCH PARKING LOT AS I DO EVERY SUNDAY. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK PEDAL AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. WHILE I PRESSED DOWN HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SHOT PAST THE PARKING SPACE HITTING A TREE. THE CAR BARELY MISSED A PARISHIONER WALKING ON THE SIDEWALK. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND SIDE OF THE CAR WERE SMASHED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HONDA COLLISION REPAIR SHOP. AMERICAN HONDA CAME OUT AND INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION AND THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO ME "IS NOT KNOWN TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE." THE DAMAGE WAS $5885. I WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE I LOVED THE CRV, BUT KNEW I COULD NOT CHANCE A REPEAT PERFORMANCE. THIS MEANT TRADING IT IN AT A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL LOSS TO MY FAMILY. WE GOT NOWHERE TRYING TO GET AMERICAN HONDA TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN.

I SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE AND DECIDE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING. IT WAS NOT, SO I CAREFULLY DROVE HOME WITH ON HAND ON THE GEAR SHIFT. THE CAR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY INSPECTED BY PRIME HONDA AND HONDA MOTOR CO (CASE NO. [XXX]) AND NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND. AT MY REQUEST ,THEY INSTALLED A NEW COMPUTER CHIP CHARGING ME THEIR COST.

WE PULLED OUR HONDA CRV 2011 INTO A PARKING LOT AT BONEFISH GRILL IN CANTON OHIO ON NOVEMBER 30, 2014. MY MOTHER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE ACCELERATOR MOVED TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR COULD NOT BE STOPPED BY SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. WE ENDED UP RUNNING INTO A CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF US THEN A CAR TO THE LEFT OF US AND THEN THE CAR WAS FINALLY STOPPED WHEN WE RAN INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER CAR PARKED IN THE LOT WHERE IT FINALLY CAME TO REST. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND WE WERE NOT INJURED. WE WERE VERY SCARED AND THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE 3 OTHER CARS AS WELL AS OUR OWN. WE HAVE READ ONLINE THE STORIES OF OTHERS THAT HAD VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. WE DO NOT PLAN ON EVER GETTING IN THIS VEHICLE AGAIN AND WILL NOT TRUST ANY VEHICLE THAT HONDA BUILDS AS WELL. THIS INCIDENT LUCKILY HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT. IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN INTERSECTION WE OR SOMEONE ELSE WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN KILLED. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE COMPANY. IT LOOKS LIKE FROM THE STORIES THAT WE HAVE READ THAT HONDA IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND BLAMING IT ON DRIVER ERROR. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND HONDA NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND DISHONESTY. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPOT IN REVERSE IN A CROWDED MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WHEN MY 2011 HONDA CR-V ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED INTO THE CEMENT POLE BEHIND ME. CONFUSED, I PUT THE CAR IN 'DRIVE' TO PULL MYSELF AWAY FROM THE POLE, WHEN THE CAR ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED FORWARD TOWARD THE SPOT I WAS ORIGINAL IN HITTING AND CONTINUALLY PUSHING A PARKED MINI-VAN, WHICH IN TURN PUSHED AND KEPT PUSHING THE PARKED CAR NEXT TO IT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND ONCE AGAIN WENT IN REVERSE, CRASHING INTO THE SAME CEMENT POLE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I BORE DOWN ON THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, THE CAR DID NOT STOP UNTIL I PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK". IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, I TURNED THE CAR OFF. THIS ALL OCCURRED IN SECONDS AND WAS TERRIFYING...I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITNESSES IN THE MOVIE THEATER PARKING LOT WERE STOPPED IN THEIR TRACKS HEARING THE LOUD ROAR OF THE ENGINE. *TR

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR COMES EVERY MONTH OR TWO SINE NOVEMBER 2011. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN JANUARY 2011. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE HONDA DEALER AT LEAST 5 TIMES AND GET DIFFERENT REASONS SUCH AS TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW, TIRE WAS REPAIRED DUE TO A NAIL , WE COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG AND WE JUST RESET IT, AND SINCE YOU WERE DRIVING IN COLD TEMPERATURES THE LIGHT HAS A TENDENCY TO ONE. HOWEVER, I TOOK THE CAR IN JUST TO WEEKS AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE PRESSURES WERE LOW AND SOMEBODY AT WORK MUST HAVE BEEN DEFLATING MY TIRES WHICH I FIND BURDEN. THREE DAYS AFTER THIS RESET THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. IT JUST SEEM THAT THEY AREN'T WILLING TO CHECK THE PROBLEM OUT THOROUGHLY BECAUSE I HAVE 32KPLUS MILES. I M WILLING TO FILE A CLASS ACTION IF POSSIBLE. *TR

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 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
