2007 Honda CR-V Vehicle speed control Problems

“2007 Honda CR-V with only 55,000 miles while stopped with foot firmly on brake excellorates between 3 and 5 thousand RPM's. At this point it is stuck and I put the auto in park and turn off. This may take three or four times to get idle back to normal. This seems extremly dangerous, once with school children crossing in front of me. Took to Honda dealship for problem twice and they said could not duplicate and suggested I record on my phone next time it happens. It's all I can do to avoid an accident. …”

“My Honda crv 2007 vehicle did a sudden acceleration of half the vehicle length when attempting to park the car. If anyone would have been in front of my vehicle, they would be dead. In light of all the toyota press, I decided to report this. I did have a floor mat in place, was it caught in the gas pedal? Have their been any report of trouble with the Honda crv? This occurred once only and I did remove floor mats. This occurred on november 23, 2009. I would appreciate any information on this as it was very frightening and still concerns me..”

“After accelerating the 2007 Honda crv, the auto continued to accelerate rapidly on its own. Applying the brakes did little to stop the acceleration. After 4/10th of a mile the driver was able to get the car into neutral, stopped, and at the side of the road. When the engine was restarted it raced at full speed. It was also impossible to get the car out of park and into neutral. (4 attempts were made over a 30 min period). Vehicle was towed to mechanic. Mechanic reported than when he received the car he need to jump start the 1 year old battery and was able to start the car normally. …”

“I was backing out of a parking space in a lot when my car lurched forward and accelerated. I had to slam on the brake to stop it but by then I had hit the car parked next to me as well as the grocery cart return racks. I did significant damage to both but no one was hurt. A routine maneuver turned into a terrifying event. It felt as if the car went from going routinely in reverse to taking off in drive. At first I thought that my foot had slipped off the brake and stated as much but I was speaking kind of out of shock and bewilderment, it was a pretty intense experience. …”
