Problem: sudden acceleration due to defective throttle body. The idle rpms are excessive upon startup and lead to sudden acceleration during braking to a stop. Background: malfunction lamp light was constantly turning on and off. Took the car to a honda dealership and they only found the error code for the o2 sensor. Later took it to a local mechanic to fix the o2 sensor and they found a defective throttle body (error code p0122). There are several forums which address this exact issue on 2002-2004 honda crv.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda crv. While driving between 35-40 MPH, the accelerator pedal extended to the floor when the brake pedal was depressed. There were no warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The failure occurred in 2004 and, after the third diagnosis, the dealer repaired the vehicle. The failure recurred in 2009, although the dealer stated that they rebooted the computer and added new software in 2004. If the vehicle is shut off for 30 seconds, the failure corrects itself. The most recent failure occurred on may 22, 2009. The failure mileage was 75,000 and current mileage was 76,000.

I was driving a new 2004 honda cr-v, stopped at a stop sign and then turned left onto a one way street. I saw an SUV in front of me and applied the brakes. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle in the rear. That vehicle was knocked forward. I applied the brakes again. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle again in the rear. The air bags deployed. I yanked my vehicle to the right, and stepped on the brakes again. Nothing happened. I was finally able to straighten and stop the vehicle by pulling as hard as I could on the parking brake--and even then, I had to pull it twice, as far down as I could get it. The other driver wasn't injured and her vehicle had damage on the rear side. My left knee hit the dash and my hands hit the wheel and dash--sustaining some injury, and my right arm was burned by the air bag. My vehicle was totalled. The mechanic who looked at my honda said that he couldn't tell for certain if the brakes had failed, or if the throttle was stuck full open prior to the accident. After the accident, the throttle was stuck full open.
