| Description of the problem | My mother was driving on the interstate when the vsa light (triangle with exclamation point in the middle) came on. She then started to hear a grinding noise from the tires. The light and the noise caused her to reduce her speed to about 55. She drove about 5 miles to the nearest pull-off ramp. She was able to slow down, but as she pulled into a parking spot, she depressed the brake pedal further to stop the car and the brake pedal would not go down and the vehicle would not stop. Subsequently, she rolled up on the sidewalk in front of the parking space and hit a light pole, which stopped the vehicle. She does not necessarily recall the engine revving or accelerating as other complainants have reported, but the brakes clearly did not work and there may have been some undetected acceleration as the car clearly needed enough speed to go over the curb. No airbags were deployed. The vehicle has less than 3500 miles. She has had no previous issues with braking. The vehicle requires body work due to the collision. Honda service department detected no mechanical problems. Clearly, there is an issue as a cursory search of complaints on the cr-v show at least 2-3 complaints per year about the same issue. May be an issue with other honda vehicles as well. |
