| I bought a 2007 honda crv and was almost run over by it today. it appears there might be a defect with the car. i had pulled into my driveway and put the car in park. i left it on so that my 2 year old daughter would have air conditioning while i was unloading the car and putting things in the garage (this process took approx. 5 minutes). i then went to the back seat on the passenger side and got my daughter out of her car seat. i then shut the back door and opened the passenger door to get something out of the passenger seat and grab the car keys which were in the ignition. i took the keys out of the ignition and the car started rolling back wards dragging me with it...as i was stuck behind the passenger side door. i was holding the keys in my hand and scrambling to make sure the car was in park...it was and the car kept rolling. it eventually stopped after it jumped up on the curb, backed into several trees and hit a street sign. my question is how does this happen when the car is in park? i was holding the keys in my hand as the car was rolling backwards and i doubled check to make sure it was in park as i was getting dragged with the car. although my leg is now badly bruised and my bumper is messed up; all in all i consider myself to be very lucky. had my daughter started walking behind the car vs. walking towards the garage she would have been killed. i'm now terrified of my car.. i also believe that honda corporate should be notified of this issue to ensure it doesn't happen with someone else and result in a far worse outcome. *tr | |||

| Purchased a new honda crv from bob barbour honda in greenville nc. in july. after 2,300 miles the rear parking brake was destroyed. honda refused to fix it under warranty claiming that it was towed with the brake on. it was not, as i checked the brake light and foot pedal when i left. after replacing all the brake pads, rotor and bearings it was still not working right and they determined the cable was bad. when i asked them if that was the cause or effect, they said they were not sure. there was no way to tell. to me this was exculpate, and my dealer was willing to pay for the repair, but one person at north american honda would not change her mind. the appeal process is a joke. i made sure they gave me all the parts back. i was lucky my car did not catch fire. *tr | |||
