| Description of the problem | After buying a new 2016 honda cr-v last year, and then driving it for the first 75 miles at highway speeds, the engine, transmission, or onboard computer started failing to allow this vehicle to always accelerate smoothly and safely from a complete stop, or from slow-rolling speeds. When trying to accelerate in stop-and-go traffic, or when trying to accelerate to pullout into heavy and fast moving traffic after coming to a complete stop at a busy intersection, or when trying to accelerate to pullout into heavy and super fast moving expressway traffic after decelerating on an expressway entrance ramp, this vehicle will hesitate and almost stall-out when the accelerator pedal is initially pushed i. E., feels like a dead accelerator pedal, . . . And then, when the accelerator pedal is pushed harder, the vehicle will lunge forward at frightening, dangerous, and not always controllable speeds which could cause a deadly head-on, side-impact, or rear-end collision. Another seriously dangerous situation is when this vehicle almost stalls-out and suddenly slows down, the brake lights do not come on to warn other drivers behind this vehicle, because the driver of this vehicle is not pushing on the brake pedal to cause the brake lights to come on. My wife became so seriously concerned about this vehicle, until she has been too afraid to drive it, and now she has become concerned about even riding in this vehicle with me driving. This is not just a problem that we alone are experiencing. There are negative comments all over the internet about this honda cr-v problem, and everyone we talk to who owns a 2015 or 2016 honda cr-v say they have the same problem and that honda dealers do not have a fix for it. The honda motor company needs to be held accountable and required to recall and fix all of these cr-vs to make them safe, or reimburse owners for the full purchase price. |
