CR-V

  • 3,786 miles
I was pulling my Honda CRV into a short driveway to park in front of a closed garage door. My speed was less than 5 mph. As I was in the driveway within 5-6 feet of the closed garage door, the engine revved and car suddenly accelerated. I could no longer feel the accelerator directly under my foot and applying the brake did nothing to stop the car. Acceleration continued, car went through garage door and crashed into concrete wall at the back of the garage. Not sure what speed the car was traveling when crash occurred. Given the short distance, maybe 20-30 mph. Airbags deployed. No issue with floor mats or other objects near the accelerator.

CR-V

  • 680 miles
I was driving about 70mph on the highway West bound in the morning, no direct sunlight, it was an overcast day. I had the adaptive cruise control on. For no reason at all my car slammed on the brakes, did a moderate nose dive and locked my seat belt. No warning what so ever. There was not another car for at least a 1/4 to 1/2 mile in front of me. Unfortunately there were cars behind me. I quickly disengaged the adaptive cruise control and floored the gas, avoiding an accident from the rear. I had this identical problem with a 2016 Honda civic touring, and every time I reported it, the dealership would blame sunlight, even if there was none when it happened. Something needs to be done about this.
