| Description of the problem | After accelerating the 2007 honda crv, the auto continued to accelerate rapidly on its own. Applying the brakes did little to stop the acceleration. After 4/10th of a mile the driver was able to get the car into neutral, stopped, and at the side of the road. When the engine was restarted it raced at full speed. It was also impossible to get the car out of "park" and into neutral. (4 attempts were made over a 30 min period). Vehicle was towed to mechanic. Mechanic reported than when he received the car he need to jump start the 1 year old battery and was able to start the car normally. He does not know what happened and will continue to run tests. |
