| While pulling into traffic from a state highway onto an interstate the accelerator stuck wide open. before i could assess the problem my speed had reached 80 mph. using the brakes did nothing. i was only able to gain control and slow the vehicle down by tapping on the accelerator pedal several times. in researching cr-v's i found that the probable cause is a broken cruise control cable. note: this has occurred 3 additional times. note: the cruise control was not activated while this problem occurred. *tr | |||

| I responded to a recall notice for the airbag inflator. i had noticed, immediately thereafter, that my horn and cruise control is inoperable. i contacted service advisor who asked to bring the car back in. she agreed that the mechanism for these inoperable parts is in close proximity to the air bag inspection areas, for the recall. however, they claim they ... are not liable for the cable reel and will charge to have it fixed. and just yesterday, in the process of getting my window fixed, the same dealership left out the moisture shield and disabled my door locks which are superficial issues that they somewhat resolved. however, i still do not have a working horn or cruise control because these were consequentially damaged after innocently responding to an airbag recall inspection. *tr | |||

| The vehicle did not slow when applying the brakes upon approaching a stop sign. the drivers foot was off the gas pedal and on the brake pedal, but the vehicle continued to power forward. not sure if the brakes were at fault, the driver stopped vehicle by putting the auto transmission into park to avoid going past the stop sign, entering a county highway and being broadsided by oncoming traffic. the engine speed then rose to about 5000 rpm, though the vehicle was at rest, in park, and the accelerator pedal was not being touched. a witness sought to lend some help and suggested that the continually racing engine was perhaps due to a stuck throttle, though a quick look under the hood did not reveal any obvious problem. after several minutes of the engine racing at about 5000 rpm while in park, the driver turned off the ignition and then restarted the engine. the engine continued to race. only after the third or fourth cycle of turning the engine off and on, and pumping and jiggling the accelerator pedal, did the engine rpms return to normal, allowing the vehicle to be driven to a nearby honda dealer. the next day, the service department returned the vehicle to the driver saying that they inspected the throttle cable and cruise control, test drove it for 3 miles, but could not find any problems. the behavior of this 2002 honda cr-v seems very similar to that outlined by odi id numbers 10073104, 10127008, 10048024, 10083184 & 10055124. *nm | |||
