2019 Honda Insight UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

Vehicle a/c system did not effectively cool cabin in warm weather on long drives. Last trip there were white particles coming from the vents. There is a known issue with the systems and Honda extended the warranty on a/c system due to problem condensors. Brought it to a dealer who found that the evaporator was leaking causing refrigerant to enter cabin area. Dealer quoted over $1500 to replace a part that was defective from the factory. Vehicle is out of bumper to bumper warranty and Honda has refused to cover the repairs.

Backup camera failed and displaying rainbow colors. Persistent issue. Creates a safety hazard due to backup camera being inoperable.

ACC, CMBS, RDM PROBLEM LIGJTS ARE ON. IT HAPPENS TWICE TIME WITHIN A YEAR OF OWNING THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AFTER 3 DAYS OF PURCHASED THE NEW CAR (1ST TIME) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT'S EXACTLY PROBLEM. THEY TRIED TO RESET THE SYSTEM AND IT WORKED. THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN, SAME ISSUE, I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE/REAIM THE SENSOR THAT ON THE FRONT BUMPER. THIS TIME THEY BLAMED IT ON THE MISSING COVER. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT'S A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO SOME SERIOUS ISSUE.

TPMS (TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM) CONTINUES TO REPORT A PROBLEM WHEN THERE IS NONE. WE REPLACED A TIRE DUE TO SIDEWALL PUNCTURE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE OF CAR. REPLACEMENT WAS SAME BRAND, SIZE, ETC EXCEPT IT WAS NOT THE TYPE OF LOW MILEAGE TREAD THAT MANUFACTURERS PUT ON NEW CARS IN OTHER WORDS IT WAS A TYPICAL AFTER MARKET CONSUMER TIRE. HONDA DEALER SAYS TO THEIR KNOWLEDGE ONLY FIX IS TO BUY NEW TIRES 2 AT A TIME OR EVEN 4 AT A TIME TO AVOID TPMS WARNING. THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF TPMS SYSTEM. IN A FORM EMAIL HONDA OFFERED NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM WHEN WE FILED COMPLAINT ON THEIR WEBSITE. WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHEN PURCHASING THIS NEW VEHICLE. WE ARE OTHERWISE VERY SATISFIED WITH THE CAR. VERY FRUSTRATING.

APPLE CARPLAY WILL OCCASIONALLY CRASH DURING VEHICLE USE, CAUSING THE CENTER INFOTAINMENT CONSOLE TO COMPLETELY RESET. IN THIS PERIOD, BACKUP CAMERA AND SIDE VIEW CAMERA ARE INACCESSIBLE FOR 30-60 SECONDS. THIS OFTEN HAPPENS MID OPERATION OF VEHICLE. FAULT NOT OF APPLE, BUT OF HONDA'S POOR IMPLEMENTATION OF CARPLAY.

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.
