| Stepped on the accelerator to pass another vehicle and throttle stuck at full speed. pumped accelerator to no avail. applied emergency brake and, literally, stood with both feet on the brakes. engine still raced at full speed, and i was having difficulty controlling the vehicle. river on my right and oncoming traffic on my left. saw a large, open yard and drove the car at high speed into the yard and turned off the key. when turning the engine back on, it still raced at full throttle with the transmission in park and the accelerator pedal not depressed. had car towed home and evaluated by independent (not honda) mechanic. his diagnosis was carbon buildup in the throttle body. emergency brake and regular brakes completely ruined during this incident and in need of replacement. two grandchildren in vehicle with me. everyone terrified, but no one hurt or injured. repairs quoted as very expensive, plus the cost of new brakes. did not want to ever drive this car again and disposed of it forthwith. routine google search uncovered similar incidents with the 2004 and other year crv's. | |||
