| 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. | |||

| My car was 10 days old and the bumper started peeling. took me a lot of jumping hoops, phone calls, letters, and days off work to get it repaired. it was really a nightmare. 6 months later 6/22/2012 the rear bumper started peeling. they fixed it without any problems . less than another month now it is peeling at the lift gate under the handle to open and they want to see it and see what it is doing then see if they approve it and back to jumping hoops on a vehicle that is less than 9 months old. there is something wrong with the paint on these. i understand that the paint doesn't stick well to plastic but i have lots of dings i have had to fill it chips very easily also. i have a toyota with almost 300k that doesn't have the looks of my new car that stays parked due to me being scared to drive b/c it might peel or chip. this is nuts. i want it fixed and or traded and don't want to have to keep going back and forth this is ridiculous with a new car to have to lose pay to go 150 miles to have my car looked at then schedule the appt 150 miles and then 150 miles to get it, but also take a day off work for both. it is loss of pay, cost of gas, time and is getting really tiring! | |||

| The engine suddenly accelerated in a parking garage. the brakes slowed the car on the first acceleration, but almost immediately the engine again revved-- to a shrill, loud sound like that of a jet engine. result : car rammed into a support pillar in the garage; airbag deployed, and i was wearing my seat belt. car may be totaled, still awaiting estimate from insurance. i spent 4 days in the hospital for surgery on my broken arm, multiple bruises and swollen face, and will not be able to drive for 3-4 months. | |||

| I was driving out of a parking lot of an outdoor shopping mall, suddenly the car did not move at all. i shifted to l1 to see how it would react. no movement. shifted to l2, still the car did not budge at all. finally, i shifted to r, then, it moved backward. i put the shift into d, and then o.k. i remember, in the past, the car hesitated to start out after a stop at intersections. i contacted the local dealer. they say they cannot do much because the problem has to be replicated to diagnose it. i told them, i or any one could replicate the problem. anyway, i told them i am bringing in my car tomorrow. but i am afraid if the same problem happens on the busy sreet on my way to the dealer. i will appreciate to let me know if any one had experienced the problem. if no one has reported so far, i would like this problem registered on your data base. thank you. | |||

| When cruising along at a constant speed and trying to accelerate to pass a car, the cr-v does not downshift to an appropriate lower gear. the car actually slows down as the accelerator pedal is further depressed. the motor bogs down. if the accelerator pedal is pressed down abnormally far, the car may then drop into a lower gear. when driving up a hill and additional power is needed the same symptoms occur. the transmission does not always downshift and the engine bogs down with minimal power. these are both intermittent problems. there is a honda tsb 10-077 which may address the issue. it can be potentially dangerous as the engine has very little power when this occurs. | |||
