| Description of the problem | I bought a new honda crv 2014 model on 10/04/2013. On 10/24/2013, i wore flip flops while going to pick up my son from the school, which is 5 miles away from my home. My leg got stuck and i couldn't move my leg from gas pedal to apply brakes, as i entered the school premises. Car started to accelerate as my flip flop got stuck in the groove between plastic and metal trim next to the gas pedal. I swerve of the road and hit a tree to avoid collision with the vehicle in front of me. I think there is an issue with the way the trim is designed in honda crv 2014 models. If someone wearing a flip flop? S while driving, it can get stuck in the trim and cause fatal accidents. I didn? T see this issue in older model years of crv. My family is traumatized by the accident and very scared to sit or travel in the car. I was fortunate to come out of it without any major injuries but this may not be the case for others. |
