Consumer Description

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
