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. here is more detail on the roll back - it happens, while moving foot from brakes to gas paddle. when the roll back happens - it's after i release brakes on a slop. i had to quickly hit gas or move quick to breaks again- due to sometimes i in stopped in traffic on a hill, and i can't hold the gas due to forward motion in stopped traffic, so while hold brake with right - i move my left foot to brakes and then right foot over gas - when able - move forward (and i release my left foot from brakes). my daughter drive more than me, and told me not to hit brakes to quickly or quick multi-tap & release brakes before i stop, she is right this issue happens less now that i slowly move foot from gas to brakes going up hill). that was when i learned to coordinate footing on a hill. i found it's sort of expensive to fix tire bearings at the honda dealership, and my vehicle was over 70,000 miles at that time last year - from honda. i am ready to get roll-back, and hopefully bearings fixed by honda too.
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
