THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO WHAT WE BELIEVE IS A PRODUCT DEFECT IN OUR 2011 HONDA CR-V EX THAT HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES TO DATE. ONE OCCURRENCE WAS JULY 13. 2012 WITH MY HUSBAND AND I EXPERIENCED THE SECOND WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON MAY 23, 2013. SUMMARY OF THE OCCURRENCES TO DATE, ALMOST IDENTICAL IN BOTH CASES: WHILE GOING TO PARK THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATES DRAMATICALLY WHILE WE WERE BRAKING. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THEY HIT SOMETHING, I.E. OUR GARAGE DOOR AND A CONCRETE WALL IN A PARKING LOT. ON THE FIRST OCCURRENCE, WE CONTACTED BOTH HONDA AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANIES. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION, THE CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD FIND WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WAS LEASED AND THEIR TRADE PROPOSITION WAS COST PROHIBITIVE. WE DROVE IT AND THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW THE CAR IS PARKED AND WE DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. IF WE TAKE IT TO HONDA, WE ARE FEARFUL THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CAR OR MAKE ANOTHER TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENT TO THE CAR AND WE WILL AGAIN BE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO OURSELVES AND/OR OTHERS. WE ASKED FOR LEGAL ADVICE ONLY TO BE TOLD IF THERE IS NO INJURY THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING! PLEASE ADVISE IF THERE IS ANY ACTION WE CAN TAKE IN REGARD TO THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
