2005 Honda CR-V Brakes Problems

“After starting the car I put my foot on the brake pedal, took off the emergency brake, and put the car into drive. My foot was still on the brake, but the car took off at a high speed as if I had floored the gas pedal, and would not stop with my foot still on the brake pedal. I threw the gear into park and turned off the ignition. This same thing happened to me in september 2009 while I was driving on the long island expressway. At that time the brake would not stop the car, so I put the car in neutral and pulled off the road, put the car in park and turned off the ignition. …”

“Abs problem - sacred to drive when it snows I have a 2006 Honda crv and Honda accord. The problem is more prominent on the crv. When there is snow on the road, ABS kicks in and the car does not stop when braking, even when the speed is only 10mph. This happens more if coming down a gradient. The gradient can be very little. This really scares me as I cannot do anything to prevent it. I never had such a problem with my 16 year old Honda civic, which didn't have an ABS system.. I do agree, that the owners manual says about this. …”

“Left firestone auto to get an il change on univeristy blvd after oil change, proceeded onto university blvd, made a left onto broadhead road(?), made a right into dollar bank parking lot. Pulled up to atm and atm was out of service. Drove around the building to go into the bank to get money out instead. Turned into parking spot four, pumped gas then brake....car accelerated and I pumped on brakes again and the car would not stop. I hit a pole in front of the bank, the air bag deployed. The car was smoking and smelled of burning oil and smoke. …”

“I purchased new a Honda crv in june, 2005. On august 15, 2007 with 24,064 miles the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $275.54 which being under warranty Honda paid for. On february 16, 2009 with 39,477 miles again the rear brakes and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $342.12 which the dealership paid for as they knew I was very upset. I have called Honda customer service about this each time and all they do is note it on my record. I feel that there has to be a problem somewhere that they aren't acknowledging or don't care to. …”

“Vsa diagnostic trouble code. Vsa light comes on and off at will. Sometimes the vsa light is preceded by a loud banging noise when braking and turning. Car jerks and screeches. Vsa light goes off when restarting car. Dealership will only diagnose and work on under warranty if vsa light is on. After persistent visits to dealership, they were able to diagnose and order a part even though vsa light was off.”
