Sudden, unexpected acceleration: I was parking at my works parking lot, the car was not moving, when all of a sudden the car accelerated out of control, crossed the parking lot and hit the building full force, airbag deployed. I suffered mild injuries thanks to the seat belt and airbag protection. The car was towed and is being assessed by the insurer.

**update to complaint made on 6-17-13*** I informed american honda about the sudden acceleration problem, he said not covered by warranty because dealer could not recreate the issue. I informed him I would not trust my loved ones to this car, I asked if he would let his wife and family use this car, he said 'maybe'. (on what criteria would he decide that I wondered). Long story short, honda no help, the dealer, on the other hand, gillman honda of san antonio was most helpful and stepped up by providing a very reasonable discount on a 2013 crv and gave us the red carpet treatment. We traded in little greeny, sorry to see him go but had to do it.
June 11-13 I had oil changed at my dealer gilman honda san antonio and had car checked out for problems because I am almost out of warranty, they said all clear, also had new key made and they reset the car to recognize the new keys. June 15 2013 I was backing up in the drive way, I pressed the brakes and car started to rev up severely, I put it in park, confirmed that my foot was off the gas, floor mat not stuck in the pedal etc. I turned off engine, restarting and it ran fine. Next day same thing, in reverse, pressed brakes and sudden acceleration, I will take to dealer this week to report issue, not hopeful as there are 15 of these complaints on carcomplaints.com and no dealer has yrt found the solution.

The 2010 cr-v has very sluggish acceleration from low speed and from a dead stop. We have a driveway that slopes down, and we have to floor the gas pedal to go up the drive way and even then it goes at a snail's pace. It is difficult to turn into traffic with out having to floor the gas pedal and even then, it can still be inconsistently sluggish (you never know how fast you start going or if you will start going). We have been in a number of near miss situations before we realized that since we can't judge whether the car will actually respond to the gas pedal, there can't be any cross traffic if we are going to pull out. I have contacted the dealer who acknowledges that there is a problem and that one of their service engineers has the cr-v and found the same thing, however, nothing is being done to mitigate the problem. Is going to take traffic accidents and deaths before honda does something about this issue?
Honda cr-v, 2010, 6000 miles has serious problems as to pick up and lacking adequate acceleration from stop. During turns loses RPM and creates dangerous slow down. American honda as well as the hamilton honda (dealer) have accepted that SUV has a problem but refuse to offer a remedy or take the car back.
