UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WHEN BRAKING, THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT THE SPEED LIMIT ON SECONDARY ROADS ~40 MPH NO TRAFFIC AND THE ROADS WERE CLEAR OF ICE AND SNOW AND THE ENGINE WAS WARM, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATOR FOR COLD ENGINE HAD EXTINGUISHED. I APPROACHED A RED STREET LIGHT I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTLY, THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME (FOOT CLEARLY NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL) I EXPECTED THE CAR COME TO A LEISURELY STOP BY COASTING WITH LITTLE BRAKING HELP. THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT STIFF, RESISTED THE PRESSING OF THE FOOT. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV UP AND I ALSO NOTED THE BATTERY IMA CHARGE/ASSIST GAUGE WENT HIGHER INTO THE BLUE (IMA ASSIST). I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ENGINE ACCELERATED MORE AND ASSIST GAUGE INCREASED FURTHER INTO THE BLUE AREA. I REPEAT: THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS HARD LIKE PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON A ROCK, NO GIVE. I NOW KNOW THIS IS THE FIRST SIGN THERE IS GOING TO BE A BRAKING ISSUE. IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURS! BUT THE PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME I STOPPED ON THIS TRIP. WHEN I BRAKE AND THE CAR AND THE CAR GOES INTO AUTO-STOP MODE THERE IS NO ISSUE. WHEN THE UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION OCCURS I CAN SHIFT THE CAR OUT OF DRIVE (D) AND INTO NEUTRAL (N) THE ENGINE WILL MOMENTARILY RACE, EXCEEDING 5000 RPM, ALMOST RED LINING, AND THEN RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED THOUGHT THE TRIP WITH THE CAR BEING SHUT OFF AND PARKED FOR A SHORT TIME (2 OCCURRENCES) RESTARTED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. ONLY WHEN THE CAR WAS LEFT FOR HOURS INCLUDING OVERNIGHT DID THE PROBLEM GO AWAY, MY GUESS IS 19 HOURS. *TR

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. WHEN I SHIFTED OUT OF DRIVE AND INTO NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WOULD MOMENTARILY EXCEEDED 5000 RPM ALMOST RED LINING AND THEN RETURN TO A NORMAL IDLE. I STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND OPENED THE HOOD LOOKING FOR ICE ON LINKAGES, FOULED AIR FILTER OR ANYTHING UNUSUAL. THERE WAS NOTHING THAT LOOKED OUT OF THE ORDINARY. I THEN PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH EVERY BRAKING ACTION. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAR ACTED NORMALLY. *TR

TRIED TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT BULB AND WAS INFORMED THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WOULD RESEARCH AND CONTACT ME. NEVER HEARD BACK. ON 2/8/2015 WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ANOTHER CAR PULL UP BESIDE ME AT A LIGHT AND INFORMED ME I HAD NO WORKING TAIL LIGHTS. THERE WAS NO INDICATION ON THE DASH THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS HAD FAILED AND THAT NO ONE COULD SEE MY CAR FROM BEHIND. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THAT NUMEROUS 2010 INSIGHTS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE LED BULBS THAT CAUSES THEM TO FAIL IN GROUPS OF 3 UNTIL NONE ARE WORKING. TOTAL COST TO REPLACE WHAT HONDA CONSIDERS "BULBS" IS $422 EACH. *TR
