“I purchased and always serviced my 2010 CR-V with garden state Honda and they have service documentation from as early as november 2010 regarding a complainants a metal noise 'dropping' in through under my vehicle purchased in 2010 as early as nov 2010 and continuing every year to follow up to this present date.

“I was turning into a parking space at my office, speed < 5mph, applied the brakes to make the turn. There were construction workers at the site, speed bumps and children coming and going. I was very attentive to all these circumstances as I turned into the spot. Suddenly there was an unexpected acceleration of the car with no ability to brake the vehicle, which did not stop until it hit a brick wall that was directly in front of the car, perhaps just 8-10 feet away. When the first attempt to brake did not work, I hit the brake a second time. Still nothing. …”

The car accelerated exponentially, as if overdrive had been turned off or cruise control had kicked in (cruise was not on). The car sped uncontrollably first toward the right shoulder and then to the left while I turned the wheel to stay on the road. This happened half a dozen times before the car finally stopped. …”
