While driving 80 mph with the cruise set I noticed the vehicle start to heavily accelerate. I immediately turned the cruise off and applied the brake. The brake did no stop the car from accelerating. I managed to slow down enough to shut the vehicle off. All dash board lights came on. I started the car up again and it started jerking as if the brake and gas were being pressed at the same time. The car was towed via Honda care.

HR-V

  • miles
The seats and seating position in the Hr-V are very dangerous. The seat is so uncomfortable and due to this, I am sitting so close to the awkwardly placed steering wheel that in the event of an accident, the airbag would probably not protect me. The cvt in the Hr-V is so unrefined that when I lift off the gas pedal a little, not all the way, at speeds under 40mph, the car engine brakes so severely that I have to use my left foot to put on my brake lights immediately. I was warned by a fellow commuter that I'm at risk for being rear ended. I've driven for 45+ years and never had a vehicle so burdensome and difficult to control. Total loss of money on my part. Honda seems like they don't care about the buyer. They make sure to only allow 5 minute test drives. I didn't notice these problems until about 10 days after purchasing the vehicle.
