CarComplaints.com Notes: Honda redesigned the CR-V for the 2007 model year to kick off the 3rd-generation of the popular SUV. Unfortunately that redesign came with malfunctioning door locksand shoddy tires that wear out fast.
Last night while trying to parallel park my 2007 CRV it suddenly accelerated and slammed into the car in back of me. I had just tapped on the pedal in reverse because it was a tight spot when it bolted backwards causing massive damage to the other vehicle and pushing it into the street. This happened 2 weeks ago when I was stopped at a red light and tapped the gas to go on green when it suddenly accelerated into the car in front of me, causing damage the back end of that vehicle. I have had this vehicle since 2007 with no problems before and NO accidents. In just two weeks I have not been able to explain these occurances. This is NOT a mat issue or the wrong pedal used. I can't trust it anymore plus the damage to other vehicles is driving my insurance up so it has to go. I am so disappointed because it has been such a good dependable vehicle up til now.
I have had two accidents in two weeks with my 2007 CRV suddenly accelerating from a complete stop. The first was after being at a complete stop at a red light. I touched the pedal when the light turned green and the vehicle bolted into the car in front of me. I had no explaination, it just took off at full throttle. It was not an issue of the car mat or using the wrong pedal. Again last night I was backing up into a parking spot and the vehicle suddenly acceletrated and hitting the car behind me so hard it pushed it into the street with a lot of front end damage. Again I had no explaination for the car doing that. I have owned this vehicle since 2007 and never had any problems or accidents. In fact I convinced several relatives to buy CRV's also, I thought they were awesome! But I am truly scared to drive it now.
