| Description of the problem | The following problem happens randomly but frequently: at a stop light or stop sign, attempt to proceed and step on accelerator and there is a complete and total lack of acceleration. The vehicle moves forward at an idle pace. This situation may last for 20 seconds or so and then all of a sudden the problem disappears and the vehicle will accelerate normally. It is very dangerous each time this happens as the vehicle is limited to moving at a crawl pace when it happens. If merging into traffic, or making a turn after stopping at a stop sign, you are just out there moving at a crawl and could easily be hit by other cars. Looking on carcomplaints. Com i find 4 other new honda crv owners experiencing the same problem. My dealer thinks they finally figured out the problem. The brake light switch was not installed correctly. I have now gone 300 miles without experiencing the lack of acceleration. But on the carcomplaint. Com site, other people are just being told "dealer can not reproduce" and they are sending customers back out in a car with a potential deadly situation. Someone will be maimed or killed. This random and sudden lack of acceleration problem needs to be investigated. All carcomplaint. Com people reporting the same problem bought or leased their cars in may 2014 or later. This problem needs to be fixed when cars are in production. Just one experience by the unlucky owner of one the honda crv's with this problem could cause a terrible accident. Look at the carcomplaint. Com site and search honda crv acceleration. Customers all report same problem. Customers state "afraid to drive the car". Please look into this dangerous situation. |
