THE DIGITAL MILES-PER-HOUR SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IN ANY 2019 HONDA INSIGHTS. IT WILL ONLY APPEAR AS KILOMETERS-PER-HOUR. A REPRESENTATIVE FOR HONDA USA SAYS THIS IS THEIR DESIGN, YET THEIR MANUAL CLEARLY STATES IT SHOULD APPEAR IN MILES-PER-HOUR. THERE IS A NEEDLE SPEEDOMETER THAT SHOWS MILES-PER-HOUR, BUT THIS IS OFTEN HIDDEN FROM SIGHT BY THE STEERING WHEEL. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IS IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW THE ACTUAL SPEED OF THE VEHICLE.

There was nothing wrong with my car previously. I was driving down a main road in my town and accidentally tried turning in somewhere that wasn't a road, going under 10mph I rode atop an island in the road and my steering wheel airbag popped. I do not know if that is supposed to happen when driving at such a speed but I believe it shouldn't have. The damage has not yet been inspected. My safety was put in danger as I freaked out over said airbag being popped. There is no other damage to the car.

On September 16, 2022, I was in an accident where a driver hit me on the rear passenger side. I went a through a green light of an intersection on the Mopac N feeder Road and Duvall. Either both our lights were green or the other driver was dishonest and his was red. Every airbag deployed. Based on the impact, it would be highly unlikely to sustain a cracked sternum. The impact was to the right and slightly behind me. I have requested information from Honda America on the airbags and they refuse. They further insulted me by telling to go to a d…

While I was going 5-10mph over a railroad crossing, the steering wheel airbag deployed as my front tires went over the grade crossing. The airbag also went left instead of straight. My hand is bruised and it sounded like a gunshot went off in my vehicle. After the deployment, the vehicle was still driveable. I drove it to a Honda dealership and they were very concerned and called corporate.

Under certain circumstances, the portion of the PCU that controls charging of the 12 volt accessory battery malfunctions, sending the PCU into a "fail safe" mode, preventing battery charging and activating warning displays for the driver. This has caused my vehicle to stall while driving, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. Other honda hybrids during this year have been recalled but not by my VIN number, however I am having the exact same issue. Below has me give a specific date but this happens almost every morning.

Honda has a feature called "Traffic Sign Recognition System". With its mounted cameras the car is able to capture traffic signs while driving and display them on the dashboard. THE PROBLEM: the system is not very good at reading traffic signs and posts incorrect speed limits at times. I tried to turn this feature off but Honda does not have an option for that. Displaying the incorrect speed limit is a huge liability for the owner of the car if they decide to lend it to a friend or rent it out.

The recent NHTSA disclosure of issues with Honda's driver-assistance technologies causes me to write about the troubling performance of adaptive cruise control on my 2021 Insight. When following another vehicle on controlled access highways, the system works fine. However if the vehicle in front enters an exit lane and slows, my car is slowed to the point that the brakes are fully applied, causing vehicles behind me slam on their brakes or swerve to avoid rear-ending me. The ACC does not "let go" of the car in front of me.

I was driving down the freeway, around 4pm there wasn't much traffic and the nearest vehicle in front of me was abour 100 meters ahead of me when my 2022 Honda Insight activated the automatic emergency brakes and slowed down for about a second before dis-activating them. Since the vehicle ahead of me was not close at all, there should have been no reason for the automatic brakes to activate. I was lucky there was little traffic at the time and no car was immediately behind me as that could have caused a great accident.

I experienced an inadvertent emergency braking action in my 2019 Insight while cruising at highway speed.

This situation will sometimes confuse my car's Lane Keeping Assist System, causing a side-to-side shudder or swerve, but in this case the Automatic Emergency Braking activated, causing me to lose about 10-15 mph in speed. There were no other cars around, and I never lost control of the vehicle. Most of the time, an AEB activation like what I exp…

Consistent failure of A/C Evaporator and Condensor, which causes failure of entire A/C system and requires expensive replacement parts/repairs. Recall issued on Condensor but not on Evaporator, which makes no sense. Both are needed for A/C to run. The leaks from condensor and evaporator impact function of the engine by making it skip on acceleration. It also impacts the filter systems. Dangerous for health and safety.

It's impossible to use my car without air conditioning.

The brakes failed and the yellow light that comes on as you are approaching another vehicle failed to come on along with the car not slowing down. The drivers foot was on the brake but the car wasn’t stopping. This caused the driver to rear end another vehicle causing a car crash. The dealer was asked about reading the computer to confirm brake failure but was advised they do not have the equipment to read the computer in the vehicle. There was no warning prior to the failure of the brakes not working.

I received a letter from Honda indicating a recall for the fuel pump impeller. The only thing Honda failed to say was for me to go to a dealership to get this fixed. Instead they sent a letter saying that they know the recall is needed but they didn’t know when they would have the piece available. I believe the letter was received in January 2024. Still to this date I haven’t received a letter from Honda indicating to take my vehicle in for repair. I am not sure how Honda is not prioritizing this as according to their letter our cars can stall …

I drove into my friends driveway with my foot on the brake to drop her off. All of a sudden my car lurched forward damaging my friends garage door and the foundation of her house. I had zero control of the car at that point. I plan on notifying Honda. There were no warning lights, or messages prior to this disaster.
