WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STATE HIGHWAY ONTO AN INTERSTATE THE ACCELERATOR STUCK WIDE OPEN. BEFORE I COULD ASSESS THE PROBLEM MY SPEED HAD REACHED 80 MPH. USING THE BRAKES DID NOTHING. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL AND SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN BY TAPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES. IN RESEARCHING CR-V'S I FOUND THAT THE PROBABLE CAUSE IS A BROKEN CRUISE CONTROL CABLE. NOTE: THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES. NOTE: THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ACTIVATED WHILE THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

I RESPONDED TO A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I HAD NOTICED, IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER, THAT MY HORN AND CRUISE CONTROL IS INOPERABLE. I CONTACTED SERVICE ADVISOR WHO ASKED TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN. SHE AGREED THAT THE MECHANISM FOR THESE INOPERABLE PARTS IS IN "CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE AIR BAG INSPECTION AREAS", FOR THE RECALL. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM THEY "... ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THE CABLE REEL" AND WILL CHARGE TO HAVE IT FIXED. AND JUST YESTERDAY, IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY WINDOW FIXED, THE SAME DEALERSHIP LEFT OUT THE MOISTURE SHIELD AND DISABLED MY DOOR LOCKS WHICH ARE SUPERFICIAL ISSUES THAT THEY SOMEWHAT RESOLVED. HOWEVER, I STILL DO NOT HAVE A WORKING HORN OR CRUISE CONTROL BECAUSE THESE WERE CONSEQUENTIALLY DAMAGED AFTER INNOCENTLY RESPONDING TO AN AIRBAG RECALL INSPECTION. *TR
