NHTSA complaint: 2005 HONDA CR-V — ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PARKED IN A SPOT IN FRONT OF PARTY CITY, FOOT WAS ON BRAKE AND I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED INTO THE BUILDING. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED BECAUSE I HIT A BRICK WALL I WENT TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND IT WAS STILL IN PARK. I REMOVED THE KEY. FORTUNATLEY NO ONE WAS INJURED, MY 2 GRANDSONS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS AND MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. MY CAR IS GOING TO BE REPAIRED BY A HONDA DEALER AND I WILL STRESS WHAT HAPPENED BUT DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY WILL PROBABLY SAY THAT I AM A CRAZY LADY AND MUST OF STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. I ABSOLUTELY KNOW THAT DID NOT HAPPEN, THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ME. I ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WENT INTO AUTO DRIVE. WHAT CAN I DO-THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE!
