2010 Honda Insight Brakes Problems

“Approaching stop sign at low rate of speed-I applied brakes and instead of stopping car reved up and went forward into path of oncoming car. Other person received minor injuries,I received bruises and soreness (2 of my airbags deployed) my car is a total loss,complete front bumper off,frame bent,hood bent”

“I was driving on an road with no traffic and came upon a red light. As I applied the brakes, I experienced an acceleration surge while braking. I could feel the brakes working but the engine began to rev up and was trying to overpower the brakes. In desperation I pushed the shifter into neutral (n). The engine continued to rev for a moment then returned to normal. Then I was able to proceed and the Insight acted normal.”

“While approaching a red light at a low speed of 35 MPH or less, I began to apply the brakes which did not engage. I hit the driver who was stopped in front of me. The impact caused front end damage and the air bag to deploy and required a trip to the er I am seeking assistance from my dealership and/or Honda.”

“As I was going to park my 2010 Insight into a parking spot between two cars, the car suddenly lunged out of control hitting the car on my left, then proceeded to slam into a metal barrier in front of the spot, then flew up on the right side and slammed down onto the car on my right. I had no use of the brakes or control of the car. The metal barrier broke the car from moving--had it not been there my car would have dropped to the level below onto parked car--it could have been fatal. I live in ca and this is deemed my fault--although it was beyond my control. …”

“Unexpected acceleration when braking. While attempting to stop at a traffic light I experienced an acceleration surge while braking. This happened numerous times on this trip. Almost every time when I was coming to a stop and I applied the brakes the engine would increase rpms. This gave me an opportunity to analyze what was going on with the car. The revving of the engine was directly affected by braking. Simply removing my foot from the gas pedal and coasting did not result in the engine surging. …”
