I was in a very minor accident on 12/6/14 at approximately 6:00 pm in austin, tx (on loop 1 near fm 2222). I rear ended another vehicle. The airbags did not deploy because I was not going fast enough (I guess). However, the computer indicated the air bags were disabled. Additionally, the driver's side seat belt was locked making it inoperable. Although the car was drivable, the inoperable airbags and seat belt made the car extremely unsafe to drive. Being that it was Saturday evening, I had no choice but to drive it. I am very upset that Honda put me in this situation. According to other Honda owners who have had minor front end collisions, this is the standard car response. This needs to be rectified. It is not only a racket that forces Honda owners to take their cars to the dealership, it also jeopardizes our safety.
While pulling into a parking place at a neighborhood grocery store, I stepped on the brake and the car accelerated with a huge lunge into the car facing me. If the other vehicle had not been a large van I would have not have been able to stop the car because at that point I lost complete control of my vehicle. Just thinking of what 'might have been' is terrifying! in searching the internet I found at least four of these unintended acceleration accounts..... same car, same year, same model. No recall yet but there should be. Damage is expected to be around $5K.

While parking the 2010 Honda Insight in my garage, I have to veer to the right and then back the car to get into the garage. As I was veering to the right and close to the house the Insight suddenly accelerated, and when I put the brakes they did not respond, instead they locked and the vehicle continued to accelerate it hit the side of the house, part of the air conditioner pipe on the brick wall, hit shrubs and a plastic fence & the 4X4 poles buried in the ground bent and were sheered/ the impact deployed the air bag which hit me in the face and the leg causing an abrasion.
