Vehicle speed control
While driving, the accelerated sped up by itself. I immediately applied the brake to keep it from continuing to accelerate. This occurred two different times during two separate driving events.

Fuel/propulsion system
The check engine light turned on in my 2026 Honda cr-v hybrid, saying there was an emissions problem. The car is about 10 months old. When I took it in, they said the only thing that could have caused this problem was driving through a puddle or leaving it in a flooded area. This didn't happen - neither scenario. I never drove it through a puddle or left it in a flooded parking spot. But are you telling me that a $45,000 vehicle cannot be driven though a puddle? I read that the canister is so exposed in the newer models that you can't even run it through a car wash. It is that fragile, really? Shouldn't this be a recall issue?

Fuel/propulsion system
2026 Honda CRV Hybrid Sport Touring Loses power and stumbles periodically when making a left hand turn. Has happened three times in the first 2300 miles. Occurred when making 90 degree left turn from stop or slow roll. Brought it to the dealer on 9/26/26. Honda Turnersville NJ. They say they can not reproduce the issue and they are not showing any fault codes, other than the radio.

Service brakes
Sudden loss of braking power on June 29, 2026, with sudden brake warnings. We had the same error after taking delivery of the vehicle in September 2025. The dealership repaired the vehicle (brake sensor). We have another dealer appointment on July 6, 2026 to repair this again. Very concerning from a safety perspective that this is occurring again.
