| Description of the problem | Unintended acceleration in our 2006 honda cr-v a previous incident on a gravel driveway was quickly controlled and thought of as an anomaly. This time, on the highway, going uphill at 60 mph, attempting to pass, the engine went to full throttle. It would not return, just kept racing. The accelerator pedal would not respond. There was no floor pad involved. The brakes were applied as forcefully as possible. The emergency brake was pulled. It couldn't be shifted to neutral. This happened within a distance of a half-mile, and half-mile further is a signal and cross traffic. Terrified, we wrestled the vehicle off highway onto a side road, and gradually ground to a halt, burning the brakes. With the engine racing, it was put in park and turned off for a minute, then it started and ran normally. Towed to honda they found nothing wrong even when the district service manager inspected it. We would not drive it anymore. We wouldn't foist this vehicle on any one else except honda because it is unsafe so we reluctantly traded it in for as new one. Just because honda can't find out what's wrong does not mean there is nothing wrong. This is the fifth honda we have owned, but we are not great fans of the brand anymore. |
