| Description of the problem | On june 9 2016 after making a routine left turn from a full stop my 2010 honda crv kept accelerating uncontrollably. There was nothing on the accelerator pedal except my right foot which i immediately released; however, the car kept accelerating with nothing on the accelerator pedal. I used the full force of my body to apply brake pressure, but this would not stop the car; it merely slowed it down somewhat but the car was still accelerating. I had to maintain and increase this constant full body force exertion on the brake pedal as the car kept accelerating. After about 45 seconds i immediately threw the transmission into neutral whereupon the rpms surged way past 7000 (once again there was no pressure on the accelerator pedal and nothing was touching it) & past the corresponding red line on the tachometer. After approximately another 15 seconds i threw it back into drive with the full force of my body still on the break pedal and no pressure on the accelerator pedal and i managed to maneuver and turn hard the vehicle into a vacant driveway whereupon i shut off the engine. Thereafter, the engine area smoked for about 30 seconds. I waited approximately 5 minutes and carefully started the car again, backed out of the driveway and drove slowly down the nearby road to see if it was going to occur again. It did not. I drove a the car home a few miles away, did not use it again that day and the very next day (june 10, 2016) i went to the honda dealer. The dealer was unable to find any fault codes or anything mechanically wrong. They claimed the accelerator was okay, there were no codes in the system and the brake over ride was working (which it was not as i previously stated because i had to put the full force of my body on the brake pedal to merely even slow it down somewhat but the car was still moving uncontrollably) and they could not duplicate the problem. |
