Any reported problems with the Collision Mitigation Braking System on 2020 Honda CRV - oddly accelerating / jumping into gear after automatically braking?  
I’ve had a couple of incidents where the CMBS suddenly stopped the car while driving, but recently… while parking in a driveway, my car urgently accelerated enough to drive into the closed garage door before stopping.

IF my car stopped on its own, I might glance at pedals.  
Same for acceleration.

So what does that have to do with the Collision Mitigation Braking System??

Sounds like pedal confusion to me, which is very common btw, mainly with younger and older drivers…

+1  
Another possibility that comes to mind is a bad IAC that causes a sudden surge in engine speed.

Nice find and I’m sure that is what you meant and that definitely covers the braking part of it but not the “_my car urgently accelerated_”, still think that was a pedal oopsy…
