| My wife who was driving our honda crv 2012 had an accident on the freeway off ramp. when the car in front of her ran over some wire that was left on the road, the driver made a sudden stop. my wife was unable to stop in time and hit the vehicle with our honda. there was considerable damage on both cars. since the airbags did not deploy and the safety belt in our 2012 honda crv did not restrain my wife from hitting the steering wheel, she was seriously hurt. i hope other owners of the honda crv 2012 do not have this type of situation happen to them. *tr | |||

| Whenever i placed my car on parking an the e-brake if it was on a slope the car would keep going as if it was on drive or reverse. it happened a couple of times. i took it to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong. when i took it to another shop they saw that the brake pads were worn out already with barely a couple of miles from new. *tr | |||
