2004 Honda CR-V Brakes Problems

“Today while driving on the highway my CR-V accelerated by itself and wouldn't stop even when pressing on the brakes. I had to press the brake to the floor to go towards the exit. I even turned the car off and on but immediately revved as if I was pressing the gas. Wouldn't switch out of park. I googled and my vehicle is not the only one to do this. Is this a known issue to Honda?”

“I was driving through my area at or near 15 MPH. When the car suddenly accelerated on its own to a speed of 30-35 MPH. The brake pedal felt very stiff and was difficult to hold the car at 30 MPH with constant braking. There was no traffic and the incident occurred not far from my home, so I proceeded back home. The car would not decelerate. I have a very long driveway that I pulled into, put the car in neutral, turned off the key and pulled the emergency brake. There was a loud grinding noise as the engine wound down. …”

“I was traveling at approx 55 to 60 MPH on the fwy. I started to slow down when I saw 2 cars that were at a dead stop in my lane way ahead of me, they just sat there so I hit my brakes harder & my brakes locked up. My car then went out of control and I tried my best to control it. I did manage to keep my car from rolling. My car was going back and forth on 2 wheels on the drivers side and the passengers side. I was also spinning and fishtailing and the back end of my CR-V (passenger side) hit the back end of the driver side of a sedan in the #3 or #4 lane. …”

“I was driving a new 2004 Honda CR-V, stopped at a stop sign and then turned left onto a one way street. I saw an SUV in front of me and applied the brakes. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle in the rear. That vehicle was knocked forward. I applied the brakes again. Nothing happened. I hit the vehicle again in the rear. The air bags deployed. I yanked my vehicle to the right, and stepped on the brakes again. Nothing happened. …”

“On 5/24/2011, as I was driving on a city street, my 2004 Honda model CR-V ex-l, with a loud noise came to an abrupt stop. I later learned that the lower control arm of the right passenger side had broken off and caused the front right axle to snap off and the tire became detached from the body of the car. The insurance company geico, had the adjuster looking at the car, on 5/25/2011 and he determined there had been no collision, no unrelated damage to cause this serious problem. The CR-V was towed to the same dealership where I have had the car serviced , I have all my records. …”
