2008 Honda CR-V acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was slowly approaching the store front to the establishment that I was going to enter. I braked and the automobile began to accelerate and would not stop until the it climbed the curb and drove into the stores front door. This caused quite a bit of damage to the store and I was injured and transported to the hospital. I was examined and test and x-rays were taken indicating that I had fractured my sternum. The air bags never deployed...updated 11/07/12
When backing out of an unpaved parking area I hit a large ponderosa pine tree with the rear bumper. The bumper absorbed the impact with a small scratch to the bumper cover. Upon impact, the car was no longer in my control for it lurched forward about 40 feet into the parking space I had left and hit another large tree with the center of the car. The car accelerated forward so quickly I do not recall when the airbag deployed. Immediately after the collision all four wheels continued spinning and dug small depressions in the dirt until the engine stopped. I had no control over the vehicle after backing into the tree. I suffered bruised ribs and a severe burn to my hand from the airbag. A sheriff assessed the accident and called an ambulance to assess my condition and I did not require hospitalization. There was significant damage (estimated $11,000) to the front of the car. This was my first accident and I'm concerned that my honda cr-v is unsafe for the above reason.
I was pulling into parking space in garage with my 2008 honda crv. Put brake on and heard loud revving sound of engine (like when a car peels out from a stop light). The brake did nothing and the car surged forward with the revving right into the concrete wall of the garage. It hit so hard it made my glasses fly off my face. It bounced off the concrete wall about 3-4 feet and stopped. My foot was on the brake the whole time. After the car stopped, there was a really bad smell of something burning. My airbag did not deploy, but the car impacted a little to the right of center. Fortunately, I had my seat belt on. The shoulder strap jammed from the impact and could not be loosened. After I turned the engine off, the dashboard lights remained on and the bad smell intensified. The car had to be towed, I was told it "was not drivable" by the honda dealer where it was towed. The dealer wouldn't even look at the car or go smell the odor as "it was not drivable and needed to have the body work done first." I was told they would smell for the odor after the body was fixed.
2008 honda cr-v with serious safety issues. Consumer states that the vehicle accelerated violently while trying to park causing the driver to hit 2 parked cars and level a parking meter. Consumer would like action taken.
After parking car and while braking to put it in "park" gear, the crv ex-l raced forward at high speed and veered to the right. Upon impact, the vehicle then went in reverse and when braking, the car races instead of stopping. Upon hitting the back curb and a vehicle, the car was thrust forward and raced forward. Crv ex-l would not respond to braking. *tr updated 04/25/08
