Sudden unintended acceleration by model year
What owners say
Unexpected acceleration - driver experiences sudden acceleration from the engine without moving the gas pedal causing an impact. The air conditioner stopped working just a few days before the incident. Some online reports have suggested that a failing or failed A/C compressor may restrict movement from the drive belt slowing down the engine and reducing power. The engine accelerates when the compressor clutch releases. Other complaints about this issue are documented and available online. Follow the link below.

My 2009 honda cr-v experienced a series of sudden accelerations that began when backing out of my driveway. I immediately turned the ignition off, shifted to park, then restarted the engine. Once again, the engine RPM spiked to over 4,000 RPM before I got the engine turned off. It did the same thing on the next try, going to full power upon starting before I could get the ignition turned off. On the third try, it started and idled as normal.

I was trying to park my car backwards. My car suddenly accelerated and I couldn't control the speed of my car. I was also unable to stop my car.
As the driver was pulling into a parking space under 10 MPH, the vehicle had a sudden acceleration. The driver had just removed his foot from the accelerator. At the time of the acceleration there was no contact with the brake or accelerator. The car did not respond as the brakes were applied and the vehicle struck a cement barrier. (there is a police report filed for inspection) the damage to the vehicle was $ 2,500. There was no other vehicle involved and no injuries reported.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda c-rv. While attempting to park at speeds of 2 MPH, the vehicle had abnormally accelerated without warrant. The contact was unable to stop the acceleration by depressing the brake and instead, shut the engine off. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The current and failure mileages were 1,000.
In cruise control mode on highway, when set in the range of 50 to 65 miles per hour, the car sometimes suddenly accelerates by itself and keeps accelerating, even on the flat road. The speed change is fast, in a few seconds. For example, on a flat highway, set the cruise control at speed of 60 miles per hour. If that uncontrolled acceleration happens the speed would keep going up to 65, 70, even more miles per hour in a few seconds. Cancel cruise control or step on break would stop the problem. It happened about 10 times over the past half a year (I don't use cruise control that often). My best guess is probably 5% or more of the chance. Every time it happened I just cancel cruise control and reset. I consider it as a serious safety problem especially when cruising at 65 miles/hour and it goes out of control while the highway make turns. The car is 2009 honda crv.
