 Description of the problemI am concerned about the safety of a vehicle which can drive itself at 7 - 14 mph, faster in reverse than forward, without anyone touching the accelerator. I was parked in my 2 month old crv on my (level) driveway on a clear day. I put the car in reverse, took my foot off the brake, started to turn to look behind me, had to grab a bag in the passenger seat and had not yet touched the accelerator pedal when my car came up against another vehicle which was parked half way down the drive on the opposite side. At first i thought i had hit a dog or a child, something that moved toward me. I had no reason to think a car could travel that fast and on its own. It caused $886. 00 in 'minor' damage in less than 3 seconds. This self-propelling feature was not mentioned in the manual (which i did read) nor by the dealership, who later told me the vehicle was functioning within specs and this movement was to be expected. After polling 20 people i understood there are cars which 'creep' once in gear, so i borrowed 3 different vehicles to test. First i tried my car. From a dead stop, i removed my foot from the brake and the car propelled itself at 7- 14 mph (900-1200 rpm) for 1/2 mile through my neighborhood. I repeated the trial after the car was warmed up. No change. Then i tested a 2014 ford focus, a 2008 lincoln mkz, and a 2013 chevrolet equinox: same route and conditions, none moved faster than 2-4 mph. I later test drove a 2014 crv and it accelerates faster than my 2013. I have to keep my foot depressing the brake during slow traffic because the car moves before i fully release the peddle. This means the brakes are likely to wear out faster. I can't be sure how this effects the expected deceleration once the accelerator is released. I feel this idle speed is simply to fast to be deemed safe.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

    Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
