APPROXIMATELY 5 WEEKS AGO I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY WITH MY WIFE AND 6 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR WHEN WITHOUT WARNING THE BRAKES SUDDENLY ENGAGED CAUSING THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP. THE VSA WARNING LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER PRESSING AND PULLING THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BRAKES TO RELEASE. TODAY I RECEIVED A FRANTIC CALL FROM MY WIFE BECAUSE AS SHE WAS DRIVING THE CAR THE BRAKES SUDDENLY LOCKED UP WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AND CAUSED THE CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. AFTER THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE SHE IS UNDERSTANDABLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND READ OTHER HONDA CRV OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. HONDA HAS RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR PILOT MODEL AND HAS RECALLED OVER 183,000 VEHICLES BUT HAS YET TO RECOGNIZE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE CRV MODEL. THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE TO BRAKE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP OBVIOUSLY POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK. HONDA NEEDS TO RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT IS NOT LIMITED TO THEIR PILOT MODEL, BUT TO ALL MODELS WHICH THEY MANUFACTURE THAT SHARE THE SAME OR SIMILAR COMPONENTS AS THE PILOT MODEL INCLUDING THEIR CRV AND OTHER MODELS.
