2013 Honda CR-V: jerking or lurching

Filed Feb 11, 2023 · NY · crash

On February 5, I was parking my vehicle in a parking lot space. The vehicle lurched forward and hit another parked car causing $925 in damages to that car. I put it into Park and then Reverse and it lurched backwards. I did not have any control over the car. I took it to the North Shore Honda dealer in Glen Head, NY and they were unable to find anything wrong but I know there is a problem and I am very nervous driving the car. There were no warning lamps before or after the incident. I have read on the internet of other people experiencing uncontrolled acceleration of their vehicle.

I own a 2013 honda cr-v was very happy with my car until my recent flat tire. Does anyone know that the TPMS (low tire sensor) is connected to the brakes? Me neither. Recently I had flat tire and had the spare put on until I could get it replaced. Only a couple of days to the weekend to wait, so I didn't have to take time off of work. Had the tire fixed and all was good; TPMS warning light off. Well, that's what I thought. About three days later my brakes started failing as I was driving. There was a loud noise and jerking of the car when I pressed the brakes. I slowed to about 15-20mph and it stabilized the car. I slowed down to a crawl and happened to be a couple of blocks from a dealer which is on my way to work. Got the car there without incident and told them what happened. The result after their inspection and fixing my car was: faulty TPMS sensor. According to the dealer, the TPMS sensor failed which caused my brakes to go out...what, the TPMS sensor is connected to my breaks. So. What your telling me, mr. Dealer, is that if one of four TPMS sensors goes out, the brakes on my car will fail. What the hell honda. This is a safety issue as far as I'm concerned. No only did my brakes fail because of the TPMS but the dealer charged me $500 to replace this sensor which runs on a battery and is likely to happen at any time x4, because I have four tires.

Pulled into driveway and was a couple of feet away from the garage door, going only one or two MPH,put foot on brake to stop and suddenly the car lurch forward,press as hard as I could on brake pedal,but car kept moving forward till it hit garage door,then everything stopped. You can see by the marks on the driveway that the front tires were spinning forward while the rear tires were locked ( because I had hard pressure on the brake pedal) and slid a few feet, we have taken pictures of the car and driveway and will try to send to you. I am fearful of driving this car because if it happens again while at a traffic light or parking lot or similar, it could be life threatening

While coming home into my driveway as I came up the driveway I was stopping by a the front door the car suddenly lurched forward just before I came to a full stop,and hit garage door, which shook me up as my foot was on the brake pedal, I had pushed the pedal hard but still the car moved forward, afterwards we moved the car back and you can see where the front tires are spinning forward and the rear tires are locked up sliding forward showing that indeed my foot was pressing hard on the brake pedal, called my local dealer and had the car towed to them, they have not been able to find anything wrong with the car. As it is now,I am afraid to drive it because if it happens again and I am at a traffic light or parking lot something worse could happen or get injured. We took pictures of the car, garage door and all the tire marks, will try to send these to you.

When coasting at 10 to 12 MPH, I press lightly on accelerator to move forward, there is no reaction. The RPM does not change, the car continues at the same speed. I must rock the accelerator hard to get the car to pick up speed and the car will lurch forward if I give it too much gas. This is not a one time incident. It started at about1,400 miles and is progressively worse at 7,000 miles. Honda's explanation is that the transmission is at a point of waiting for the computer to either down or up shift. Yet there is no RPM change. This problem could create an accident. .

On 4 different occasions, from being stopped and making a turn or proceeding through a stop sign, the car hesitated long enough to realize that "I should be moving by now and what is going on", then the car would jerk forward. (different degrees of jerking). Felt like the transmission was slipping. Bought the car in 9-13. It happened 3 times before the first oil change 1-14. Thought it was me because I was replacing a 13 year old odyssey that had a bad transmission. Informed dealership at first oil change and inspection... Was told that it was normal when driving with the econ system. Which tells me they are completely aware of the problem. And that there would be nothing for them to find unless the engine light had come on. 4th time was in 5-14. Econ button was off and I was turning left into my driveway. Called the dealership and honda corp. Was told they "understood my frustration" and would do what could to find out the problem. Dealership drove the car and couldn't duplicate the problem and said the car is running"as was designed". That's right...until it doesn't. There are countless complaints on the internet over many years. Was told by honda they don't check the internet. Even if that were true, what about their dealerships service centers? It is not safe! My oldest is a new driver. I thought I was buying a safe car.

I was driving home on a major road (not a small back road) when I heard a sound like a gunshot. I immediately pulled over and found that there was a large hole in my sunroof, with spiderweb cracking coming out from the hole. The glass was flexed upwards and created a dome-like effect. I continued to drive the 2 hours home and immediately went to a local honda dealership. The service man took pictures and proceeded to tell me that if something had fallen onto the sunroof, the glass would've crashed into the car, not flexed up and out like mine did. A few days later, the service man called and said after sending honda the pictures, they decided I must've damaged the sunroof somehow, causing it to crack, meaning honda would not take responsibility for it. I then proceeded to call the dealership where I bought the brand new car 6 months ago. In talking to the sales manager, he told me that if I was driving down the highway, it would be near impossible for something to fall on my sunroof to cause a damage. It would've hit my windshield, or just flown over my car. He said there was nothing he could do and I could call honda directly. I did. My case representative proceeded to "look into it", which entailed a mumbling man telling me he may or may not get back to my claim by january 21st. When I heard back from them, he had called the first dealership and then reported that they felt like there was damage to the sunroof, meaning honda still wouldn't take responsibility. Honda has jerked me around from person to person, while having me drive around in my new car with a gaping hole in the sunroof that is shattering glass every time I drive it. Their service men have told me one thing, and the corporation as a whole is saying something else. After a quick web-search, there have been many other instances of this happening on hondas, and they are refusing to take responsibility.
