| April 5, 2003 it was about 9:00 pm. i had just paid my toll on the new jersey side of the river. i was traveling westbound on the ben franklin bridge towards philadelphia. i was traveling about 35 mph and was in the right-hand lane in order to take the exit off to the right to get onto south i-95. this exit ramp is at the bottom of the bridge on the pennsylvania side of the delaware river. as i was nearing the bottom of the bridge, my 1999 honda crv suddenly accelerated with such high rpms that it surged forward at an extremely rapid rate. it took off on its own so fast that not even the brakes would or could slow it down. i actively applied my brakes but to my horror, my brakes would not work and could not slow down the car. the car kept accelerating uncontrollably. i even pulled up on my emergency brake and tried to maneuver my car as i was traveling at a rapid pace through the traffic and could not stop my car until it crashed into another. this horrific accident totaled my car and resulted in the death of a woman in another car. my injuries kept me in the hospital for a week. a taxi driver had some injuries. he was treated and released. the honda crv was totalled and the car is being kept in storage, pending further investigation.*ak | |||

| I own a 1999 honda cr-v. the check engine light came on around 102,000 miles. the car began losing power, shaking while idling and chugging loudly during gear shifting. one day the engine just died, right in the middle of the parking lot i was driving through. no warning. i then took it to a mechanic i trust. they first had me replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires. it took them two visits to finally realize the valves were burnt and the head now must be replaced. average cost to replace is $3500 to $4000. i have been researching this and it is a common complaint for 1997 to 2000 plus models. this problem must be stopped before someone is seriously injured. *tr | |||
