I had been driving for approximately 30 minutes. As I drove along I-575 - a 4-lane highway - I noticed a kind of power surge from my engine. My speedometer registered 80 MPH! I applied the brakes but was unable to slow the car more than 20-30 MPH, and then it started to creep back up. I exited at that point, knowing I needed help. I was still going much too fast. I looked for a service station and not only was there none, within seconds I was faced with a red light with 4 lanes of cross traffic (george busby parkway) - I couldn't stop the car! So I took it off the road in a controlled crash, going over the curb, 6 or so feet of grass, a huge hedge, and crashed into a very tall, mature crape myrtle. Thank god the car finally stopped. I was fortunate the crape myrtle consisted of multiple trunks rather than being an oak or similar. The crape myrtle managed to dissipate the impact of my car and I only sustained a broken wrist. The air bag did not deploy. My insurance company is charging me with driving out of control!!!!

While the engine is under load in a 2002 crv-ex honda, if the driver pulses the brake pedal twice rapidly there is dramatic brake failure. In a panic stop, if the driver presses on both the gas pedal and the brake pedal in this timing, there would be no braking power. If the driver suggested the brakes failed, there would be no other evidence to support the claim without performing this test as the brakes will thereafter perform normally. I have demonstrated the failure to honda mechanics with a privately owned car and they duplicated the occurrence in a dealer car. They have researched the honda technical databases and could not find any references to the brake failure or a way to fix it.

Abs light came on intermittently in 2002 honda crv. Honda wanted $500 to replace ABS control unit. I called honda customer service, and honda agreed to fix the problem for $100 deductible. I think this is a safety issue--this should not be happening in a 5-year-old vehicle--and I wonder if it is a common occurrence.
