Unintended acceleration from stop. With the engine at normal operating temperature, transmission in drive, and the vehicle stopped at a stop sign or traffic light, when I remove my foot from the brake pedal, the engine RPM instantly and abruptly increases from 700 RPM to approximately 1000 RPM. The vehicle moves ahead suddenly with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and can reach a speed of 7 mph on level pavement. The same acceleration occurs when I am moving very slowly into a parking space or garage and my foot is pressing lightly on the brake pedal -- the engine RPM increases suddenly and the vehicle "jumps" ahead, requiring increased pressure on the brake pedal to prevent acceleration. I believe that this condition constitutes a safety hazard because the driver does not expect the vehicle to move ahead with no pressure on the accelerator pedal, and therefore the vehicle could impact the vehicle ahead of it, a wall or parking barrier ahead of it, or a pedestrian crossing in front of it. I have taken the vehicle to two Honda dealers for this condition (September 25, 2020 and March 12, 2021). The first service report stated "system scan found no dtcs, road tested and found all normal." The report from the second dealer stated "check and found normal/proper operation." This condition has existed since we bought the vehicle (new) on September 18, 2018. I firmly believe that this condition is not normal and has the definite potential to cause damage to the vehicle, other vehicles, property, or pedestrians. Honda should be required to fix this problem.

It doesn't show as a recall but it is very concerning and I'm worried the vehicle would burst into flames.

While driving a short distance, driving slow as I was in my subdivision my vehicle started jerking, it felt like it was going to stall, the engine light came on and started flashing repeatedly. I noticed a bad odor. I was only a minute or so from home and driving slowly, maybe 10 or 15 mph. The sputtering, jerking and flashing engine light continued the rest of the way home. I got half way up my driveway and it felt like it was stalling so I stopped and shut vehicle off. A strong burning smell continued and I noticed smoke coming out of the passenger side exhaust pipe.

I have a 2018 Honda CRV ex. The check engine light came on with the emissions system problem warning at times, and at other times, all warning lights came on simultaneously. At times it drives fine while one or all these lights are on, but twice when I was driving 30-40 mph, I have lost power, having to pull off to the side of the road.

Driving car on slight uphill grade a a misfire occurred causing a flashing check engine light. Throttle control was defeated by design and the car came to a stop in a lane with no shoulder and semi trucks behind me. Was able to cycle key a few times and throttle control was restored until car misfired again and same thing happened again. Talked to local Honda service department and was told that what happened is by design, to protect the catalytic converter in the event of a misfire..this is a dangerous design flaw. There are other ways to protect the catalytic converter and still leave the car running with at least partial power. Many manufacturers simply cut fuel delivery to the cylinder that is misfiring, leaving you less power but still safe to drive.. this problem is a simple fix for Honda with a reflash. This dangerous situation was created by a simple spark plug issue on one cylinder.

About a month ago, I was parking my CRV and all of my dashboard warning lights came on. My cruise. Lane keep assist other features are completely disabled when this happens. My dealership states I need fuel injectors. I have done research on this problem, and Honda is very aware of this fuel injector problem. They actually put an extended warranty in place on the powertrain to remedy this. Unfortunately the powertrain warranty does not cover fuel injectors.on one occasion. Nov. 3 2020, my car stalled while going 70 miles per hour on the highway. Afterwards I smelled a strong fuel smell in my car. I have smelled this odor several times, however Honda says this is not a safety issue. I bought the car Jan. 2020. It had 89K miles on it. I did not think this new car would need an extended warranty. So Honda wants over $1100 to put fuel injectors in. I have read online about the many issues with the 2017 and 2018 crvs. The dream motor is a problem and Honda knows it. I guess it will take someone dying before anyone will pay me any attention. Honda says this is not a safety problem therefore I am assuming it is safe to drive, as I have to have my car. I am a nurse and travel on my job. I have no cruise, lane keep assist, lane stability or any of those features. I dont know how this car will pass inspection like this. Please help me. Google problems with 2018 CRV......Honda knows all about it. I have already filed a complaint with them. Please advise if seeking legal counsel will be beneficial to me. Thank you.

This the third incident, where I was driving the vehicle and the car lost power, stalled, shut down, and all the sensors on the vehicle went off. The vacaville Honda dealership on the second time refuse to document my issue or look at the battery without me paying for a service. I brought the car in for service. I feel really unsafe in this vehicle and vacaville Honda has a history of not documenting my concerns. The vehicle was in motion and I came to a stop sign where I turned right and noticed the car was not moving when I pressed the gas. The car turned off and then turned on and all the sensors came on. I was able to get the car rolling by going down hill going about 2 mph, even though the speedometer said 16 mph. There was not way I was going at that speed. I had to have the car towed locally to another Honda where I lived and they were unable to tell me why all the sensors went off.
