| My mother was driving on the interstate when the vsa light (triangle with exclamation point in the middle) came on. she then started to hear a grinding noise from the tires. the light and the noise caused her to reduce her speed to about 55. she drove about 5 miles to the nearest pull-off ramp. she was able to slow down, but as she pulled into a parking spot, she depressed the brake pedal further to stop the car and the brake pedal would not go down and the vehicle would not stop. subsequently, she rolled up on the sidewalk in front of the parking space and hit a light pole, which stopped the vehicle. she does not necessarily recall the engine revving or accelerating as other complainants have reported, but the brakes clearly did not work and there may have been some undetected acceleration as the car clearly needed enough speed to go over the curb. no airbags were deployed. the vehicle has less than 3500 miles. she has had no previous issues with braking. the vehicle requires body work due to the collision. honda service department detected no mechanical problems. clearly, there is an issue as a cursory search of complaints on the cr-v show at least 2-3 complaints per year about the same issue. may be an issue with other honda vehicles as well. | |||

| While stopping or stopped for traffic light(s), with foot on brake, engine reved up to 2k rpm without any action on my part. when light changed, and brake was released, acceleration and car performance bcame normal again. this has happened three separate times in the past six weeks. in addition, turning the a/c off or on had no effect on engine rpm. note: during the anomaly, if transmission was moved from d to n, engine would rev up to 5k rpm, and would drop back to 2k rpm when transmission put back into d all this happened with foot still on the brake. for the record: car was taken to honda dealer twice for this anomaly, the memory dumped, and no data found. honda claims there is nothing wrong with the car. | |||
