2010 HONDA INSIGHT Power Train Problems

MY HONDA 2010 INSIGHT - VEHICLE ROLLS BACK AFTER RELEASING BRAKE GOING UP HILL. THIS INTERMITTENTLY HAPPENED SINCE BUYING VEHICLE LAST YEAR AROUND 2/30/2015. LAST YEAR AROUND THE MONTH OF JUNE - A ROLL-BACK CAUSED VEHICLE TO ROLL-BACK ON A CURB ON RIGHT SIDE AND REAR TIRE HIT CURB PRETTY HARD. I CONFIRMED LATER THE BEARING HAD A NOISY SOUND AFTER THAT (THE VEHICLE ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT MUCH LIGHTER NOISE WHILE DRIVING). WE HEARD A SLIGHT LOUDER RUBBING SOUND AFTER THAT ROLL BACK ON A CURB INCIDENT. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME HYBRIDS HAS SLIGHT NOISE DUE TO BATTERY ELECTRIC SOUND. MONTHS LATER AFTER THE ROLL-BACK BEARING DAMAGE, I ASKED ABOUT ISSUE WITH A MECHANIC SHOP, THEY TOLD ME ISSUE SOUNDED LIKE BAD BEARINGS, AND I WAS TOLD TO GET SHOCKS CHECKED TOO. I WAS UNEMPLOYED - AND THEY TOLD ME MOST PEOPLE CAN DRIVE WITH BAD BEARINGS FOR A WHILE....

THE CAR WAS TRAVELING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (<10 MPH) IN A PARKING LOT WITH THE DRIVER ATTEMPTING TO MANEUVER THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPACE. THE DRIVER WAS APPLYING NO PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL; THE CAR WAS IN DECELERATION. WHEN THE DRIVER STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP, THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. AS A RESULT, THE CAR WENT OVER THE PARKING BARRIER INTO THE BASE OF A PARKING LIGHT CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE CAR ($6,000). THE DRIVER HAS EXPERIENCED A FEW OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE THE CAR ACTED IN A SIMILAR MANNER. WE BELIEVE THIS UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION ISSUE POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. WE ARE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO ISOLATE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
