SERVICE BRAKES
BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL (WHEN DEPRESSED) IS LOWER THAN THE THROTTLE (GAS PEDAL), MY FOOT HAS HIT BOTH THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AT THE SAME TIME CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, . I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEREFORE NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE ADVISE AS TO WHAT MY NEXT STEP, IF ANY, SHOULD BE ??? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SUDDENLY, WHEN BRAKING, THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKING WAS EFFECTED BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER SOME TROUBLE SHOOTING DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE AND BRAKE LINES THAT HAD GOTTEN SO RUSTY HERE IN VERMONT AND DUE TO ITS DESIGNED EXPOSURE THAT THEY FAILED.ALL AT ONCE, NOT GRADUALLY. THE AGENCY THAT REPAIRED MY DAMAGE SAID THAT A 2003 CRV FAILED THE STATE INSPECTION DUE TO RUSTY FRAME DAMAGE. THE NHTSA SHOULD SPECIFY THAT BRAKE LINES AND FITTINGS SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS OR BRASS. I HAVE HEARD STORIES FROM MANY SAYING THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE LINES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I BUMPED MY KEYS LIGHTLY WITH MY RIGHT KNEE CAUSING THE CAR TO SUDDENLY SWITCH OFF, AND MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OFF THE FREEWAY TO A STOP AT AN EXIT, AND RESTART MY CAR. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAR SWITCHES OFF WITH EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP TO THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT GM RECALL. *TR

SRS LIGHT RECENTLY AND CURRENTLY REMAINS ON IN MY 2004 HONDA CRV. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AVALON HONDA NJ DEALER 2 TIMES AFTER SPEAKING TO THEM 3 TIMES, THEY PROCASTINATED TO OBTAIN THE PART. I WAS INFORMED THEY WILL GET IT SOON AND WILL COST ME $693.00. AFTER I PERFORMED A CONSUMER RESEARCH OF THE VEHICLE, THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY ALERT ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR HONDA TO ANNOUNCE TO THE PUBLIC FOR ROAD SAFETY AND CONSUMER SAFETY. THEREFORE, THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY MONIES OUT OF THE POCKET AS THIS MAJOR SAFETY ITEM THAT SHOULD BE GUARANTEED FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR, NOT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. THIS INCLUDES THERE LIFE. *TR

VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAM START FAILING ON DRIVERS SIDE. BURNING OUT OFTEN - WHILE OTHER SIDE HEADLIGHT REMAINED STABLE. REPLACE HEADLIGHTS (BOTH SIDES) MANY TIMES AFTER THAT - ONLY TO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE FAIL AFTER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF. DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT WOULD ALSO CHANGE TO VERY DIM WHILE OTHER SIDE REMAINED BRIGHT. PROBABLY SIMILAR TO A FLASHLIGHT, - NEEDING BATTERIES. WOULD ALWAYS FLICK BRIGHT LIGHTS ON FOR A WHILE, OR TUG ON HEADLIGHT WIRE IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND LIGHT WOULD CHANGE TO NORMAL BRIGHT COLOR AFTER THIS. WHEN CAR WAS TURNED OFF, - THE WHOLE SITUATION WOULD REPEAT ITSELF NEXT TIME CAR STARTED UP AND RAN AT NIGHT WITH LIGHTS ON. NOTICED RADIO DISPLAY PANEL WOULD GO OUT ALSO, -- BLACK OUT, ONLY TO COME BACK ON LATER. THAT WOULD BE THE CLOCK AND STATION RADIO LCD PANEL DISPLAY. HAD CAR PROBLEM FIXED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, AT LEAST TWICE AT PRIVATE MECHANICS, TWICE AT HONDA DEALERSHIP, - PLUS RECALLED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP IN 2012 FOR HEADLIGHT WIRING FAILURE AND PROBLEMS, PLUS BACK IN THE DEALERSHIP ONE MONTH LATER IN 2012 FOR SAME PROBLEM, PLUS BACK IN DEALERSHIP 6/9, 6/10, 6/11 2014 WITH SAME PROBLEM. AFTER SPENDING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER THE YEARS FOR VARIOUS FIXES, THIS TIME (2014) DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN HAS FINALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM - WIRING HARNESS ATTACHED TO ENGINE FIREWALL COMPARTMENT BAD. MELTING, CORROSIVE, AND WIRES WITH INSULATION MISSING IN HARNESS, - BUT ANOTHER 1850 DOLLARS WOULD COVER A NEW WIRE HARNESS PLUS INSTALLATION. PAID 91 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE, PICKED UP CAR AND LEFT. RESEARCHED PROBLEM ON INTERNET AND FOUND MANY HONDA CRV'S FROM AROUND THOSE YEARS WITH SAME PROBLEMS. REPORTED SITUATION TO HONDA AND OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH THEM. THE LATEST CASE NUMBER BEING N012014-06-1100779, ASSIGNED 6/11/14 BY HONDA. *JS

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES
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 IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. THEY SENT A TOW VEHICLE TO PICK UP THE CAR SINCE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE IT TO THEM. THEY SAID THEY DROVE THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES AND PERFORMED DIAGNOSTIC TESTS ON THE VEHICLE FINDING NO PROBLEMS AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS. THE INVOICE HOWEVER SHOWED IDENTICAL MILEAGE IN AND OUT OF THEIR FACILITY WHEN IT WAS PICKED UP JAN. 2, 2014. ON FEB. 11, 2014, I WAS IN TRAFFIC STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY RIGHT FOOT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE REVVED, THE BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD HITTING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, DOING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA OF AMERICA HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AND A CLAIM HAS BEEN FILED. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNHEARD OF COMPLAINT OR OCCURRENCE FOR THIS MAKE, MODEL, YEAR VEHICLE AS EVIDENCE BUY COMPLAINTS TO YOU. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY DRIVER. THIS IS MY FIRST ACCIDENT IN OVER 50 YRS OF BEING A LICENSED DRIVER. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS ACCELERATING AT A YIELD SIGN TO MERGE ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. I REALIZED THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING MORE THAN IT SHOULD BE AND WAS QUICKLY APPROACHING A VERY UNSAFE SPEED FOR THIS ROAD (APPROX 60-70 MPH). FELT THE ACCELERATOR DEPRESSING ITSELF FURTHER AS I COMPLETELY REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL. ACCELERATION CONTINUED, AND RPMS WERE APPROACHING THE RED ZONE OF 6000-7000. NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE EXCESSIVE REVVING AND RPMS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE SUDDENLY GOING TO 0. CAR WAS STILL RUNNING AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, BUT NOW I'M WORRIED THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN LESS FORGIVING CONDITIONS. *TR
