Takata recall dealer says it is not receiving parts from Honda for this problem. Is there any way to urge Honda to move faster. I suspect the car may wear out before the dealer receives part to effect replacement.
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.
