THIS IS AN UPDATE TO ODI # 10628879, CREATED IN AUG. 2014. INSIGHT HYBRID IS STOPPED AT INTERSECTION--AUTO IDLE STOP. SUDDENLY ENGINE RACES WILDLY, TACHOMETER REGISTERS GREATER THAN 3,000 R/MIN. USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN THE FIRST 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING AND FIRST 3-5 MILES OF DRIVING. IF I MY FOOT WOULD SLIP OFF THE BRAKE THE CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD, CREATING A RISK OF A COLLISION WITH THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. THE HONDA DEALER SPECULATED THAT THE WEATHERTECH FLOOR MAT UNDER THE ACCELERATOR MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM, AND AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AGREED WITH THIS HYPOTHESIS. I CHOPPED OFF A LARGE PIECE OF THE FLOOR MAT FROM UNDER THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEM DID NOT RECUR FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT RECENTLY HAS RESUMED. SO THE FLOOR MAT IS NOT THE CAUSE. BECAUSE THE RACING STILL OCCURS UNEXPECTEDLY FROM TIME TO TIME, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION. BUT HONDA CANNOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT.

INSIGHT HYBRID STOPPED AT INTERSECTION--AUTO IDLE STOP. SUDDENLY ENGINE RACED WILDLY, TACHOMETER REGISTERED GREATER THAN 3000 R/MIN. MY FOOT WAS FIRMLY ON BRAKE, AND I STOPPED THE RACING BY SHIFTING OUT OF GEAR. IT FELT AS IF THE CAR MIGHT LURCH FORWARD FROM A STOP AND CAUSE A COLLISION IN THE INTERSECTION. HAPPENED AGAIN SAME DAY. DEALER SAID DON'T OPERATE CAR IN ECON MODE IN CITY DRIVING, EVEN THOUGH THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT A HYBRID. SAID FLOOR MAT MIGHT HAVE INTERFERED WITH ACCELERATOR--NOT TRUE. DEALER NOT REALLY SURE OF CAUSE. I WILL GET A SECOND OPINION. DO NOT FEEL SAFE UNTIL A PLAUSIBLE CAUSE IS DETERMINED. IF THE ECON MODE CAN CAUSE UNCONTROLLED ENGINE RACING THEN HONDA SHOULD GIVE CUSTOMERS A WARNING. *TR

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS SAFETY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE BAR THAT RUNS PARALLEL ON THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE. MOST DRIVERS FEEL IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD, CAUSE IT DISTORTS THEIR VIEW. THE BAR MAKES THE REAR WINDOW VIEWING AREA SMALL, WHICH MAKES IT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR OLDER DRIVERS. *TR

I HAD MY 2011 HONDA INSIGHT FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND LOST CONTROL IN THE SNOW AT ABOUT 25 MPH AND CRASHED INTO THE CURB. MY FRONT RIGHT SIDE SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE AND WAS FIXED BY HONDA, AND PAID FOR BY MY INSURANCE. IT TURNED OUT THAT MY FRONT TIRES WE COMPLETELY WORN OUT AT ABOUT 16,000 MILES. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BAD SET OF TIRES, BUT ABOUT 1 YEAR LATER, DURING AN OIL CHANGE, I WAS TOLD MY TIRES WERE WORN OUT AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY WENT FOR ABOUT 17,000 MILES. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY TOLD ME IT'S MY PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T "WARRANTY TIRES". HOWEVER, THEY CHOSE THE TIRES AND YOU CAN'T DRIVE A CAR WITHOUT THE TIRES. FIRSTLY, IT'S UNSAFE TO PUT TIRES THAT ERODE SO QUICKLY ONTO CARS. SECONDLY, ANY SAVINGS ONE GETS WITH DECREASED FUEL USAGE IS COMPLETELY OBLITERATED BY HAVING TO REPLACE TIRES, DITTO WITH PETROLEUM PRODUCT SAVINGS. *TR
