I was going home from work in my Honda Insight 2019 and all of a sudden my car started showing all kings of warnings every single indicator was on and my car started to spin and hit the side railing of the highway I almost died that day no airbags deployed that is also an other safety function did work that day. Honda refuse to take any kind of responsibility for the car malfunction I called and ask for help they said go ahead buy a new car we can't help you with anything. My request to the department is take a action against Honda so no other family or any other driver go through this. And no one lose love ones.
The contact owns a 2019 Honda Insight. The contact stated that the after starting the vehicle and shifting to reverse(r), the backup camera failed to display an image, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. Additionally, while the vehicle was parked several electrical features could not be accessed, with a message stating that the features could not be accessed because the vehicle was in motion. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was contacted and a service appointment was schedule. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000.
The floor wire harness under the driver's seat was incorrectly routed and caused the harness to break when the seat was moved to close to the end of the back. This break then caused the a fuse to blow "freezing" the drivers seat and the secondary restrain system (srs) to fail with a warning light. The car was inspected by howdy Honda and confirmed that the cable (harness) was routed incorrectly. Nobody else has inspected the vehicle. This incident occurred in may of 2021. Here are the words from ali bharwani, the Honda agent that inspected the car: hello enrique, the problem with your vehicle is that the section of harness going from the floor to your seat was wrapped around a portion of the lower seat frame. Because the harness was wrapped and did not have it normal length of travel the seat could not move it's full length of travel. The reason that the seat restraint lights are on is because of the added tension on these wires from being wrapped up. Some of the wires broke resulting in the warning indicators illuminating. This is a safety issue for several reasons. One you cannot adjust your seat to comfortably fit a driver of different sizes. Secondly with the warning indicators on for the supplimental restraint system, in the event of a collision, the airbags, seat restraints, and other safety features will not activate.
On June 3, 2019, I brought the car to Honda of illinois (2500 prairie crossing dr, springfield (217-547-0750) for major safety regarding malfunctioning driving assisting problems and conflicting signals. After diagnostics, the dealer technicians reported codes u128d, u1291, u1281, etc. For solution, they reset the code and told me that they cannot definitely fix those safety issues. They advised me to come back when the safety issues are back. On January 15, 2020, I went back to Honda of illinois for the same safety issues that became worst. At this time, the technicians were unable to even provide a temporary fix for the car. I had to go to another dealer for solution (bob brady Honda at 4025 east boyd road, decatur, illinois 62521 (217 876-3800)). Similarly to Honda of illinois, bob brady Honda confirmed that they don't have a permanent fix for those safety issues. In addition, they have not provided summary of work completed. Both dealers are acting negligently for allowing a car with some many safety issues to be driven on the roads. I called american Honda motor (800-999-1009) in multiple occasions to report all the safety issues and concerns for fatal crashes. American Honda refused to provide relief and solution to address the safety issues. They only referred to both local dealers. They both confirmed that they cannot fix the issues. Clearly, road and vehicle safety is not part of Honda's goals. In summary, my 2019 Honda Insight has major safety issues and is sending malfunctioning and conflicting driving assisting signals, lane watch, turn signals, etc. I am requesting nthsa to gather and investigate the provided information for a fair and expeditious resolution of my claim. For resolution, I request a car replacement or a refund.
The car was bought and delivered may 15th, late at night. Ever since, the lane assist and warning are on and say take to dealer. I parked the car a month then drove from miss to orlando, and put 1700 miles. Coggin of orlando did a quick computer check, as they had no availability two days ago when I took it in, and said either a defective or damaged radar system. Now Honda rep says I must get a rental and pay myself and she was very abrasive. The service repair person said he will run through up to 10 possible problems to diagnose what exactly is wrong, and because he reset it but it popped back on, something is for sure wrong. Now I am afraid I will be on the hook and plan to take it in tomorrow morning. . . . Otherwise the car seems fine we just cant use any of the warnings . The backup and side camera work.

Tl the contact owned a 2019 Honda Insight. The contact stated that the infotainment panel overheated without warning while driving various speeds.

We have a new 2019 Honda Insight with 176 total miles on it. This morning, on leaving costco in salem oregon,there was an electrical problem which prevented use of turn signals, lights and other systems. This persisted for the four mile drive home. After parking the car, unloading groceries (using manual trunk unlock) then returning later, all systems were working again. We have contacted the dealer and hopefully they will be able to identify the problem. The car is unsafe to drive if there is another failure.
