This honda cr-v had a sudden surge of acceleration while the brake pedal was pressed. The brake pedal was stepped off to put car into drive, but then the car suddenly went forward over 30 mph and crashed into a fence and tree in the driveway straight across from it about 5 feet away. The airbag did not immediately deploy, but deployed a minute later. The entire front end of the car was destroyed. The driver tried to press the brake, shift into neutral and even turn the key of the car off to shut it off but none of those worked. This car was purchased at carmax in May 2025 and had no issues per them. There were no warning lights on the car prior to this.

My gas pedal got stuck while starting the car. The car revved so loud and fast until bluish smoked filled the inside of the car and came out the tail pipe. Good thing the car was in park. The pedal released on it's own. After doing some research, I see that other owners of this vehicle has experienced the same thing. After taking their vehicle in, they were told they couldn't find an issue because they couldn't duplicate it at the shop.

Unintended acceleration. I pulled into my son's driveway. When I applied the brake the vehicle accelerated. It was heading towards the house and continued to accelerate as I increased pressure on the brake. I swerved onto their lawn; eventually major force on the brake brought the vehicle to a stop. I checked the floor mat; it was attached firmly to the floor. I am sure I was on the right pedal; I felt the brake and throttle "fighting" each other. It's the car stopped and in park I tried to see if my foot could depress both pedals simultaneously. That did not seem possible. The initial evaluation at the dealer did not reveal the cause of the problem

I purchased a certified 2013 honda crv 2 months ago. I experienced problems with acceleration and cruise control immediately. I took the car to the dealer for service but he said the techinician tested and found no issues. Since then I have recorded that the problem consistently occurs at highway speeds above 50mph. When I initially try to accelerate from about 50mph to 60, the car barely moves. It feels as if I'm not pressing the accelerator hard enough. The computer has delayed reaction and finally decides to accelerate. The car lunges ahead and accelerates too fast. This is a dangerous response. Its a good thing I'm usually on open road when this happens. The same problem happens with the cruise control. I increase the cruise control to go faster, but it doesn't change for several seconds. Then suddenly it kicks in. I'm going to return to the service department and report it as a safety risk. When I try to change lanes, and then can't accelerate to keep pace with traffic, I fear I will get in an accident. I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in registering this type of complaint.

My honda cr-v 2013 VIN [xxx] is also stalling when on cruise control and going uphill. When I type my VIN and car model it shows no recall. I am having the same stalling issues as the other cars, why is my VIN not being recalled so it can be fixed. My cell phone [xxx]. I have filed many complaints on the same problem.
