My dad had a terrible accident last night. he said there seems to have a problem with brake. while he applied the brake to slow down before taking the exit 9 on i-395, the brake was slipped and steering was locked. as a result, he hit a guard rail pretty strong and the front of the car was damaged badly. liquid were leaking and the car was towed, but air bag didn't deploy. he also mentioned that there was a few times the car doesn't start while pressing the brake, so he had to press the brake harder, and sometimes the brake slipped while driving.
Recently when the car is in park you cannot get the gear shirt to go into reverse. it stays stuck for at least 10 minutes before it disengages and you are able put the vehicle in reverse. vehicle is stationary in the park mode in whatever location that you just parked it in. it can be at home in the garage or out shopping.
Had accident when brakes failed about 5 months ago. honda never accepted responsibility. cited driver error. got car back. drive about 4 months. brakes failed again march 19, 2019. same exact circumstances. this time i kept my food on pedal i depressed until car hit parked car. my foot was on brake pedal. so far hrv's from 2016, 18 and 19 have been recalled for brake problems.
The vehicle would not turn on and started to have an electronic malfunction. all of the lights started flashing on the dash and the vehicles starter made a really weird noise. it vehicle would not turn on for about 30 min. after that, the vehicle finally started but all of the lights on the dash were stuck on, including the emergency brake. the brake would not turn off and the vehicle wouldn't move. after turning the car on and off about 4 times i was finally able to get the car moving, but all lights on dash stayed on. after about 45 minutes i was finally able to leave the parking lot.
I was rear-ended as i was stationary waiting to make a left hand turn on a highway none of my airbags deployed my car is a total loss. fault the 17 year was tailgating a tractor and slammed into my car.police came i was transported to a local hospital
This is an amended complaint no. 10995808. i may have gotten a digit wrong in my earlier submission. from my wv registration, my vin is [xxx]. i had two near-collisions in heavy traffic because the brake pedal is too close to the gas-feed pedal. i complained to the dealer suggesting the pedals need more separation. that failing, i suggested the dealer take the vehicle back. he refused both remedies. i left the car there and walked home. i refuse to drive a dangerous car. i have no photos to offer. the dealer has possession of it. i suppose the brake/accelerator alignment is per design. i admit i wear a size 15 shoe but the space for feet of moderate size is quite small. i was willing to live with the restricted space - i drive an older cr-v and am very happy with it. i almost crashed in heavy traffic because the brake pedal overlaps the gas pedal space. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
I bought this vehicle 05/27/2017. a test drive didn't reveal a brake/accelerator cross-over problem (a test drive around the block isn't meant to failure-test it). the next week my wife and i traveled from our home in wv to visit a daughter in mi. driving on i-70 through columbus i got caught in heavy traffic; the driver ahead of us decelerated quickly and i had to jump on my brake to avoid a collision. u wittingly, my right foot also depressed the accelerator. before impact the engine paused - yielding to the brake ( learned late that is a safety over-ride function) we were scared! i pulled out of the traffic as soon as possible to try to understand what had happened. with the engine stopped i repeated the scary operation and discovered that the fully depressed brake pad was level with the gas pedal. i corrected the potential repeat near disaster by braking with my left foot. on the way home (again in heavy traffic on i-70 i had another close call, with right foot hovering over the gas pedal i mashed on the brake with my left foot. my right foot was under the brake pedal.my left foot now forced my right foot to depress the gas pedal. the brake over-ride function saved us again . . . barely! at home i compared the hr-v with my 2000 model cr-v. the cr-v has more total foot space and the pedals are separated such as to permit braking with my right foot. and when fully depressed the brake pedal is more than a half inch above the gas pedal. believing there is a design flaw in the hr-v on saturday, june 10 i returned the hr-v to the dealer complaining that i am afraid of it; he could modify the brake or, that failing, they should take the dangerous vehicle back today, monday, june 19 the dealer possesses the hr-v that i fear and refuse to drive.
