Description of the problem | I purchased a certified 2013 honda crv 2 months ago. I experienced problems with acceleration and cruise control immediately. I took the car to the dealer for service but he said the techinician tested and found no issues. Since then i have recorded that the problem consistently occurs at highway speeds above 50mph. When i initially try to accelerate from about 50mph to 60, the car barely moves. It feels as if i'm not pressing the accelerator hard enough. The computer has delayed reaction and finally decides to accelerate. The car lunges ahead and accelerates too fast. This is a dangerous response. Its a good thing i'm usually on open road when this happens. The same problem happens with the cruise control. I increase the cruise control to go faster, but it doesn't change for several seconds. Then suddenly it kicks in. I'm going to return to the service department and report it as a safety risk. When i try to change lanes, and then can't accelerate to keep pace with traffic, i fear i will get in an accident. I'm glad to know that i'm not alone in registering this type of complaint. |
