Summary

On Friday, Dec 31, 2021 the car (2017 Honda HR-V), without any warning, suddenly stalled in the middle of our residential street. Prior to this incident, I did not experience any indications that there was a problem with the car. The car was towed to a local Honda service center and upon inspection by one of their technicians it was determined that the car had a "broken flywheel" (the car is an automatic so this is not the correct term). Once repairs began I was contacted and informed that the broken flywheel had caused additional damage and the car now requires an entirely new engine. I purchased the car brand new in July 2017. In July 2020 I received a recall notification from Honda indicating that there were problems with the transmission and an entirely new transmission was installed with all costs covered by the manufacturer. Now six months later and only three years after purchasing the car, I am being told I need an entirely new engine. The car is currently at the service center and should be available for inspection. I have not authorized any work related to the engine because I am collecting information on my rights as a consumer and my options in regards to repair of the car. I strongly believe that the flywheel and engine repairs are manufacturer defects and need to be addressed and costs covered by Honda.

Summary

My name is [XXX] - currently own Honda HRV. The Honda HRV was purchased late 2017. Recently after service recall by Honda my car was repaired for service recall by Honda Dealer dealer - 2 days after rain the front passenger floor area next to driver was flooded With water - I immediately took car back to dealer and told them to look at what was wrong as we never had this problem earlier- the service manager told me that there will be charges to even look at it - which I refused to pay as the car I handed before service recall never had this issue. Now with the rains the passenger area next to driver gets flooded every time and after calling Honda they have not responded so far other than informing that they will look up in to it and call me - this has been frustrating experience as it is raining every day for last few days - so please help ASAP. Also checked on internet as one of my friends who has repair garage told me that had similar issue, so inspite of the fact that several of Honda cars have similar problem and it is all over internet ; how come Honda is not aware of this manufacturing defect. This is an serious issue if water remains inside the car will have mold and the car will not be usable - please inform what should a customer do the car is only 3 to 4 years old with just 33,000 miles on it. Honda issued a case number [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Summary

My transmission in my 2017 Honda HRV AWD failed last week when it was just over 52K miles (July 2021). Unfortunately this situation occurred in a very dangerous location as I was about to enter onto a highway. As my car began to drive slower and slower, I was able to pull into a turning area where the car wouldn't drive any further. I was stuck in a high traffic location having to waive cars around me and no ability for a tow truck to get in and pick up the car. My location also left other drivers in danger as the people exiting the highway were also flying around a corner and past us at speeds of 45-60 mph. I had to call 911 to send out police to block off the highway exit and then push my car across this very busy road with me inside steering. It was a very tense and scary situation. Upon making it to a safe location, I had the car towed to my dealership where I found out the following day that the transmission problem was due to some sort of factory defect which of course wasn't communicated to customers ahead of time and there were no recalls in place. I do not believe Honda should be allowed to just ignore this problem until a customer's vehicle breaks down, possibly in a very dangerous, high-speed location, and then fix the problem like the customer should be thankful for the service. Certainly this is a situation where Honda should have done something ahead of time to correct the issue when they evidently knew it was a problem. Thank you.

Summary

A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS ROCK SOLID AND WOULD NOT BUDGE. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY EXIT WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED AND REAR ENDED AN SUV STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. THE ACCIDENT CAUSED HER BACK INJURY WHICH STILL BOTHERS HER TO THIS DAY. THE CRASH WASN'T BAD ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS, BUT CAR DAMAGE WAS OVER $5000. THIS PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENED TO ME ONCE AND HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN TO HER. THANKFULLY, NO ACCIDENT THESE OTHER TWO TIMES. RELEASING AND ATTEMPTING TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL A FEW TIME EVENTUALLY MADE THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY. THIS WAS WHEN WE FINALLY DECIDED TO GIVE UP THE LEASE BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ANYMORE. THE CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND HAD APPROXIMATELY 10000 MILES ON IT. I AS A MASTER AUTO TECHNICIAN B WOULD GUESS THE PROBLEM WAS LIKELY BE CAUSED BY SOMETHING JAMMING UP IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER OR MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE DEALER WAS NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NEVER REPLACED ANYTHING.

Summary

LAST NIGHT AT 12:58AM, I WAS TRAVELING IN MY 2017 HONDA HR-V ON THE EXPRESSWAY TOLL (LIMIT OF 75 MPH), GOING APPROXIMATELY 80-85 MPH ON CRUISE. SUDDENLY, MY VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH LIT UP, AND PRESSING THE GAS DID NOTHING (NO JERKING OR SOUND). IT WAS EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING BECAUSE THERE WAS NO SHOULDER, A SINGLE LANE VERY HIGH UP, WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES IN SIGHT BEHIND ME TO ANTICIPATE MY STOP. LUCKILY, I CAME UPON A HILL TO COAST DOWN AND I PULLED OVER AS THE SHOULDER OPENED UP. I HAD ALL POWER, RADIO, LIGHTS, CAR RUNNING LIKE NORMAL. . . I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND IT DID NOT MOVE. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN PARK, I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TURNED IT BACK ON. ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED BACK ON IN THE DASH (ENGINE, CAR SLIDING, P WITH A CIRCLE AROUND IT WITH !, PARKING BREAK "PARK", ETC). . . PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT ACCELERATED AND DROVE PRETTY MUCH NORMAL. THIS MORNING WHEN I GOT BACK INTO CAR ONLY THE ENGINE AND P WITH CIRCLE AROUND IT LIGHTS WERE ON. IT DROVE NORMAL BUT I DO FEEL THERE IS A LACK OF ACCELERATION AS I AM PRESSING THE GAS, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE THE SAME (HAVING TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO GAS). THE MECHANIC SHOP RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND ADVISED ME TO IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE A SPEED SENSOR CODE IN THE TRANSMISSION CAME BACK. I WAS ADVISED THERE ARE MANY VEHICLE MAKE AND MODELS WITH RECALLS ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR AND MANUFACTURE WARRANTY IS UP TO 36K MILES, AND WELL I HAVE 85K. I HAVE GOTTEN THE REGULAR REQUIRED OIL CHANGES, FILTERS, ETC AND NEVER ONCE HAVE I RAN INTO ANY ISSUES WITH MY CAR UP UNTIL NOW. THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION.

Summary

INFORMATION PERTAINS TO A 2017 HONDA HRV WITH 89K MILES, SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIPS ONLY. WHILE ON INTERSTATE I-95N ON 1/13/21 NOTICED A GRINDING NOISE THAT SEEMED TO ORIGINATE FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, ENGINE REVS SUDDENLY SKYROCKETED AND THE CAR LOST ALL ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THIS WAS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND HARROWING SITUATION AS WE WERE TRAVELLING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (55-65MPH). ABLE TO "COAST" THE VEHICLE OVER 5 LANES TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER REGARDLESS OF GEAR SELECTION, CALLED AAA FOR A TOW TO THE NEAREST HONDA DEALER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BALISE HONDA IN WARWICK, RI, WE WERE LATER INFORMED BY A SERVICE ADVISOR THAT THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. METAL FRAGMENTS WERE OBSERVED THROUGHOUT THE TRANSMISSION CASE AND IN FLUIDS. AS VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY WE WERE QUOTED BETWEEN $3000-4000 TO REPAIR THE TRANSMISSION. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT UNTIL THIS IS REPAIRED THE CAR HOLDS VIRTUALLY NO VALUE, MAKING A TRADE-IN FRUITLESS.

Summary

WHEN THE WEATHER GOT COLDER, THE THIRD DASH PANEL STARTED GOING OUT (FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER, ETC.). WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON IN THE MORNING, THE DASH PANEL IS BLACK. OCCASIONALLY, AS I DRIVE, IT FLICKERS ALL THE NUMBERS. SOMETIMES, IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN I LEAVE WORK, IT COMES ON JUST FINE. OTHER TIMES, I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE DRIVING HOME WHERE THE DASH PANEL IS BLACK OR FLICKERING. SO AT LEAST 50% OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY CAR. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY SPEED, TURNS, BUMPS, OR CHANGES IN THE ROAD. TEMPERATURE IS REALLY THE ONLY FACTOR I CAN SEEM TO ATTRIBUTE.

IN NOVEMBER 2018, WHILE WAITING IN TRAFFIC, WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO TURN LEFT, I WAS T-BONED BY A CAR THAT WAS DRIVING ILLEGALLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. MY HEAD HIT THE DRIVER'S WINDOW VERY HARD AND THE LATERAL AIRBAG ON THE DRIVER"S SIDE NEVER DEPLOYED. AT THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY HONDA, THAT IF YOU ARE DRIVING LESS THAN 30 MILES PER HOUR...AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY. RECENTLY, I DISCOVER THAT THE ACCIDENT DAMAGED REALLY BAD MY LEFT EYE, THE SIDE I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDOW. LAST MONTH, I NEEDED 3 PROCEDURES AND SURGERY AND I HAVE NOW AN IMPLANT IN MY LEFT EYE. ALL SPECIALISTS I CONSULTED ARE UNANIMOUS THAT ONLY A VERY IMPORTANT IMPACT COULD HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGES, DAMAGES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIRBAG WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

BRAKES ARE SOFT WHEN BREAKING. ALSO WHEN STOPPING OVER SMALL BUMPS OR UNEVEN ROAD THE BRAKES STARTS TO GRIND AND CLUNK CAUSING IT TO HAVE PROBLEMS STOPPING. THIS IS GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH. IF I WHERE TO HAVE A CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH MANY TIMES I DO I HAVE TO SWERVE SO I DO NOT HIT THEM. HONDA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS. THE ROADS ARE CLEAR NO RAIN OR ANYTHING FOR IT TO HAVE SUCH BAD BREAKING. I CAN LITERALLY FEEL MY BRAKE PEDAL MOVING WHILE THE CLUNKING AND GRINDING IS HAPPENING AND THE CAR DOES ACTUALLY NOT SLOW DOWN. IT'S LIKE THE BRAKES PEDAL LOOSES ITS FUNCTION.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND BRAKING TO A STOP THE CAR SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD, JUMPED A CURB AND RAN INTO A ROCK RETAINING WALL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, IT GAVE NO RESISTANCE AND DID NOT STOP THE CAR. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AT A HIGH RATE, EVEN WHILE IT HIT THE WALL. THE REPAIRS WERE OVER $2000 FOR DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END, LIGHTS, AIR CONDITIONER AND RADIATOR SUPPORT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CAR WAS ABOUT 8-10 FEET FROM THE WALL WHEN IT ACCELERATED. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALER AND ALSO CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA. BOTH THE TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND AN AMERICAN HONDA INSPECTOR CHECKED THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT OTHER THAN A FAILURE OF THE BATTERY DUE TO LOW VOLTAGE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ACCIDENT. *TR

THE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT WANTS TO CHARGE ME $360.44 SINCE I AM JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME AN EXACT DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WILL ARRIVE AS IT IS ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE, WHICH ALSO SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. *TR

IF THE VEHICLES ARE IN RELATIVELY NEW TO BRAND NEW CONDITION WHY ARE CUSTOMERS HAVING TO PAY TO FIX THESE FUSES EVERY FEW WEEKS? THE OTHE IS IS THAT THIS HONDA MODEL HAS SO MANY FUSE BOXES, SOME WHICH ARE HARD TO ACCESS.

Summary

MY AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED WORKING ONE DAY TO ANOTHER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I GOT INTO IT ONE MORNING AND THE AC WAS NOT WORKING AND BLOWING HOT AIR, WHEN THE DAY BEFORE IT WAS COLD. I TOOK IT TO HONDA SERVICES. THEY SAID IT WOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, SINCE IT IS A 2017 LEASE, AND HAS LESS THAN 36 MONTHS AND LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. THREE HOURS LATER, THEY CALLED TO TELL ME THAT I HAD TO PAY $400. THEY SAID THAT ROAD DEBRIS HIT THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THAT IS WHAT CAUSE THE CONDENSER TO GET A CRACK IN IT. THE CAR HASN'T EVEN LEFT THE SMALL CITY I LIVE IN FOR MONTHS, SO HASN'T EVEN BEEN GOING OVER 45MPH. THIS ISN'T FAIR THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT. THE INTERNET SHOWS DOZENS AND DOZENS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS, AND A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT HAS EVEN BEEN REACHED FOR OTHER MODELS OF HONDA, BUT NOT MINE, THE HRV. HERE IS THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT: HTTPS://TOPCLASSACTIONS.COM/LAWSUIT-SETTLEMENTS/LAWSUIT-NEWS/1894-HONDA-AIR-CONDITIONINGCOMPRESSOR-CLASS-ACTION-SETTLEMENT/COMMENT-PAGE-17/#COMMENTS. WITH A FLASHLIGHT THEY SHOWED ME THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHERE SUPPOSEDLY A DEBRIS HIT AND CAUSED THE CONDENSER TO CRACK. BELOW IS A PICTURE OF WHAT THEY SHOWED ME. THERE WERE OTHER LITTLE DENTS OF THE SAME SIZE ALL AROUND, BUT THEY SAID ONLY THE ONE WAS WHAT SUPPOSEDLY DAMAGED THE CONDENSER. HOW IS IT THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR A PEBBLE DAMAGING THE ENGINE WHEN THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY? THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT.

Summary

HONDA HR-V HAS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THIS BRAND NEW CAR, I STARTED EXPERIENCING PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK AND TAILBONE AREA. NO MATTER HOW I ADJUSTED THE SEAT, THE PAIN WAS STILL THERE. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT IT, THEY SUGGESTED TRYING OUT SOME CUSHIONS. I TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT CUSHIONS AND LUMBAR SUPPORTS, BUT NOTHING HELPS. MY TAILBONE ALWAYS HURTS WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER BACK ASKING IF THEY COULD SWAP OUT THE DRIVERS SEAT WITH ANOTHER SEAT, THEY SAID THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY UNHELPFUL AND NOW I'M STUCK PAYING FOR THE CAR THAT IS LITERALLY A PAIN IN THE REAR TO DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT DURING MY VERY FIRST HEAVY RAIN STORM AFTER PURCHASING THE HONDA HRV. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY, EVEN AFTER INCREASING THE WIPER BLADE SPEED TO IT'S MAXIMUM SPEED I STILL HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. I FELT EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN MY NEW VEHICLE AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD MY WIPER BLADES MIGHT BE DRY ROTTED FROM SITTING ON THE CAR LOT. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE ISSUE BUT PURCHASED NEW BLADE INSERTS IN ORDER TO RULE IT OUT. THE VERY NEXT HEAVY RAIN, THE RESULT WERE THE SAME. THERE IS NOT EVEN A SECOND OF VISIBILITY IN HEAVY RAIN REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST THE WIPER BLADES ARE MOVING ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE WINDSHIELD IS DESIGNED POORLY.

Summary

THE SEATS IN MY 2017 HONDA H-RV WERE SO UNCOMFORTABLE I HAD TO TRADE IT IN AFTER HAVING ONLY PUT 250 MILES ON THE CAR. NO MATTER WHICH WAY I ADJUSTED THE SEATS, IT WAS NO BETTER. WHEN I WENT TO THE DOCTOR SHE TOLD ME EVERYTHING BELOW MY WAIST WAS SPASMING. THE SEATS WERE VERY HARD, NARROW AND THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT WAS PRESSED RIGHT UP AGAINST YOUR HIP AND YOU COULDN'T MOVE IT. I LOST $2000 DOLLARS WHEN I TRADED THAT CAR IN AND I KNOW FROM ALL THE ARTICLES I'VE READ THAT HONDA HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME. BUT THEY KEEP RIPPING OFF THE CUSTOMERS. THE TEST DRIVE IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO DETECT THE PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE ANYONE WHO HAS TO TRADE IN THEIR CAR FOR THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COMPENSATED. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER WHEN I HAD ONLY 25 MILES ON THE CAR AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK.

Summary

THIS IS AN AMENDED COMPLAINT NO. 10995808. I MAY HAVE GOTTEN A DIGIT WRONG IN MY EARLIER SUBMISSION. FROM MY WV REGISTRATION, MY VIN IS [XXX]. I HAD TWO NEAR-COLLISIONS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THE GAS-FEED PEDAL. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER SUGGESTING THE PEDALS NEED MORE SEPARATION. THAT FAILING, I SUGGESTED THE DEALER TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK. HE REFUSED BOTH REMEDIES. I LEFT THE CAR THERE AND WALKED HOME. I REFUSE TO DRIVE A DANGEROUS CAR. I HAVE NO PHOTOS TO OFFER. THE DEALER HAS POSSESSION OF IT. I SUPPOSE THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR ALIGNMENT IS PER DESIGN. I ADMIT I WEAR A SIZE 15 SHOE BUT THE SPACE FOR FEET OF MODERATE SIZE IS QUITE SMALL. I WAS WILLING TO LIVE WITH THE RESTRICTED SPACE - I DRIVE AN OLDER CR-V AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. I ALMOST CRASHED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL OVERLAPS THE GAS PEDAL SPACE. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Summary

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 05/27/2017. A TEST DRIVE DIDN'T REVEAL A BRAKE/ACCELERATOR CROSS-OVER PROBLEM (A TEST DRIVE AROUND THE BLOCK ISN'T MEANT TO FAILURE-TEST IT). THE NEXT WEEK MY WIFE AND I TRAVELED FROM OUR HOME IN WV TO VISIT A DAUGHTER IN MI. DRIVING ON I-70 THROUGH COLUMBUS I GOT CAUGHT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC; THE DRIVER AHEAD OF US DECELERATED QUICKLY AND I HAD TO JUMP ON MY BRAKE TO AVOID A COLLISION. U WITTINGLY, MY RIGHT FOOT ALSO DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. BEFORE IMPACT THE ENGINE PAUSED - YIELDING TO THE BRAKE ( LEARNED LATE THAT IS A SAFETY OVER-RIDE FUNCTION) WE WERE SCARED! I PULLED OUT OF THE TRAFFIC AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WITH THE ENGINE STOPPED I REPEATED THE SCARY OPERATION AND DISCOVERED THAT THE FULLY DEPRESSED BRAKE PAD WAS LEVEL WITH THE GAS PEDAL. I CORRECTED THE POTENTIAL REPEAT NEAR DISASTER BY BRAKING WITH MY LEFT FOOT. ON THE WAY HOME (AGAIN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-70 I HAD ANOTHER CLOSE CALL, WITH RIGHT FOOT HOVERING OVER THE GAS PEDAL I MASHED ON THE BRAKE WITH MY LEFT FOOT. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL.MY LEFT FOOT NOW FORCED MY RIGHT FOOT TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THE BRAKE OVER-RIDE FUNCTION SAVED US AGAIN . . . BARELY! AT HOME I COMPARED THE HR-V WITH MY 2000 MODEL CR-V. THE CR-V HAS MORE TOTAL FOOT SPACE AND THE PEDALS ARE SEPARATED SUCH AS TO PERMIT BRAKING WITH MY RIGHT FOOT. AND WHEN FULLY DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IS MORE THAN A HALF INCH ABOVE THE GAS PEDAL. BELIEVING THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HR-V ON SATURDAY, JUNE 10 I RETURNED THE HR-V TO THE DEALER COMPLAINING THAT I AM AFRAID OF IT; HE COULD MODIFY THE BRAKE OR, THAT FAILING, THEY SHOULD TAKE THE DANGEROUS VEHICLE BACK TODAY, MONDAY, JUNE 19 THE DEALER POSSESSES THE HR-V THAT I FEAR AND REFUSE TO DRIVE.
