“On 5/27/2020 at 11:20 pm my 2014 Honda crv was parked in front of my home and suddenly combusted.first smoke appeared on the driver side then flames. It was last driven around 9:45pm that evening without issue. The vehicle has no history of physical or mechanical malfunction. The incident set off my ring bell camera since it motion sensitive (will provide footage if requested).”
NHTSA complaint #11342901, filed 2020-08, 61,000 miles“While attempting to stop at a red traffic light, we applied pressure to the brakes. However, the brakes did not respond and it appeared that the car accelerated. To avoid hitting the car in front of us, we turned towards the shoulder and up a small hill. We hit a tree on the small hill that caused the car to flip upside down. Police and ems responded to the site of the accident to remove us from the car and evaluate/treat us for injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #10715539, filed 2015-05, 7,232 miles“I was driving 45 miles a hour down a street . I hit my brakes and they did not work and my seatbelt locked and I hit a car head on . I hit his driver doors front and back. My airbag did not deploy”
NHTSA complaint #11054042, filed 2017-12, 60,000 miles“Turned left into driveway and hit brakes, car lurched forward and sped up. I jammed on the brakes and it stopped just before ramming into the garage door. Please note that this is the second incident. Approximately one month ago, a similar thing happened after I applied the brakes, turned left, then slight right to pull off the road to park. Suddenly, instead of stopping, the car lurched forward. I slammed on the brakes and was able to stop about 20 feet from my intended stopping place.”
NHTSA complaint #10762012, filed 2015-09, 25,600 miles“On june 21, 2014 at approx 9:34 am, as I was coming out of my parking space to turn left, as I took my foot off the brake pad, slightly touched the gas pedal *& my car shot like a bullet! It was going so fast it was hard for me to control it (it was faster than being on the highway); I pressed on the brake pads & the car wouldn't slow down. I managed to make another left (as straight would have caused me to crash into the bldg) while the vehicle is moving at an unknown accelerated speed. …”
