| The car was in an indoor parking lot. driver backed up out of its parking space at a low speed and bumped into a wall behind the parking spot. at that point, the car jumped into drive and began accelerating without driver doing anything. driver applied the brake, but the car continued to accelerate and hit a cement pylon. the car bounced off the cement pylon and the car continued to accelerate forward, even though driver was applying the brake. the car hit the cement pylon again and then another car. the car only stopped when driver put it into park and turned it off. *tr | |||

| I was positioned at an intersection, waiting to make a left turn in heavy traffic. since this vehicle is more powerful than the one i had, pulling out into traffic didn't concern me that much. well, it does now. it went just enough into the intersection to get me into a near crash situation. it just totally bogged down. throttle position sensor maybe? i have talked to four people with 2010 and 2011 crv's and they say the same thing. i love this car, but this has to be addressed. i have had no other problems except for this. this is a real downer for me in relation to this car. help us honda. *tr | |||

| I was pulling out of parking spot in reverse in a crowded movie theater parking lot when my 2011 honda cr-v accelerated at full speed into the cement pole behind me. confused, i put the car in 'drive' to pull myself away from the pole, when the car once again accelerated at full speed forward toward the spot i was original in hitting and continually pushing a parked mini-van, which in turn pushed and kept pushing the parked car next to it. in an attempt to stop the car, i put the car in reverse and once again went in reverse, crashing into the same cement pole. despite the fact that i bore down on the brakes repeatedly, the car did not stop until i put the car in 'park. immediately thereafter, i turned the car off. this all occurred in seconds and was terrifying...i had no control of the vehicle. witnesses in the movie theater parking lot were stopped in their tracks hearing the loud roar of the engine. *tr | |||
