Honda Insight owners have reported 5 problems related to front driver side air bag inflator (under the air bag category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Honda Insight based on all problems reported for the Insight.
The inflators were replaced 3/24/16 and 7/29/16. On 7/5/17 my son was hit by a man running a red light. To make a long story short, my son suffered numerous injuries including being knocked out by the airbag and continues to suffer from the concussion - I know the old airbag/inflator would have been worse. Also, the seatbelt bruised his chest and the doctor thought he had heart damage. Echocardiogram showed everything was fine - just bad chest bruise. My concern is that even though the inflators were replaced they, the airbag/inflator, still caused damage. 14 months later and still having issues with tbi. My son is 5'11" and sits as far back as possible when he drove the car. I'm sending 2 pictures so you can see that the car was destroyed. This is just an fyi.

Takata recall. Honda . " consequence: an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death. " I feel Honda is endangering my life by not providing a rental during this recall. I cannot afford a rental and must use my car as I MA sure many other folks are in the same situation. Safety departments need to put people's lives ahead of the all mighty dollar. I was told in July that no one has died yet of the passenger air bag recall so Honda will not pay for a rental. My driver airbag was fixed and the passenger airbag was not fixed at the same time. I was just told of the new air bag recall on 07/10/16 when I finally got my car back with driver's air bag fixed.
