2019 Honda Insight Complaints

Back up camera stopped working, no blown fuses and the system updates I can do on the car from the touch screen say everything is up to date. My car has no open/not repaired recall for this.

The Honda Sensing suite's CMBS uses a combination of a front-facing camera and a radar sensor, it detected a sewerage as a hole and steel plates as a hole and made a sudden unsafe stop. Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) experiencing a false positive. We were going to like 15-20 over the steel plate and it made an emergency unsafe stop. It keeps doing it over and over. At this point it’s becoming really unsafe so I wanted to report it. It stopped all of sudden and made my neck in pain as my wife’s back. No the problem has not been talked to the dealer or they never told me about this kinds of problems will happen. No any warning lamps.

While stopped at a train track, I used the Brake Hold feature and it was on when suddenly without touching peddles the car went forward and I hit the car in front of me

On [XXX] while driving my 2019 Honda Insight Touring at approximately 35 mph on [XXX] , the vehicle’s automatic emergency braking system suddenly activated without any obstacle present. The car braked very hard, creating a dangerous situation in traffic. This was not the first time it has happened. The same issue occurred on two separate occasions in 2022, also with no vehicles or obstacles nearby. Each time, the system engaged abruptly and without warning. I am concerned about the safety risk of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) activating erroneously, as it could easily cause a rear-end collision.

The air conditioning system in my 2019 Honda Insight Touring Edition has failed three times in the last 3 years. Why is this a safety issue? In Southern California summer temperatures reach into the 90s and driving without air conditioning is impossible for any distance. For example today it is 93 degrees Fahrenheit in Los Angeles. It's impossible to use my car without air conditioning. Additionally, the A/C failure causes water vapor to condense on the windshield glass making it difficult to see through it and is an additional safety issue. The AC failure in the Honda Insights is a known issue to Honda USA. They have extended warranties of the air conditioning units to 10 years. This acknwledgement proves that Honda know of the issue and don't want to resolve it for consumers.
