Four problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2010 Honda Insight. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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 driveable, 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.
