2019 Honda Insight

The car was last driven and parked at about 8:30pm local time. At around noon the next day, we noticed that the dashboard in the vicinity of the passenger airbag was melted with an approximately 12-inch hole. There was soot staining the interior of the vehicle, and the windshield was burned and cracked above the hole in the dashboard.

The A/C evaporator failed due to a refrigerant leak caused by corrosion. The component is available for inspection upon request at the dealership where it was diagnosed. The failure resulted in complete loss of air conditioning. In hot weather conditions, particularly during highway driving and stop-and-go traffic, loss of A/C poses a risk of heat-related illness to the driver, especially in high-temperature climates. The defect was confirmed by a Honda dealership technician during an inspection in May 2026. The service advisor explicitly stated that the evaporator is manufactured from the same defective material as the A/C condenser, which Honda already acknowledged as a manufacturing defect under Service Bulletin 21-016. A Honda corporate customer relations representative independently confirmed the same information — that the evaporator shares the same material and is subject to the same corrosion issue. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to failure. The first symptom was warm air blowing from vents, which progressively worsened until A/C stopped functioning entirely. Honda repaired the condenser under Service Bulletin 21-016 at no charge but refused to cover the evaporator repair, quoting approximately $2,600 out of pocket despite acknowledging the same root cause. I am requesting NHTSA investigate whether a recall or additional service bulletin covering the A/C evaporator on 2019-2021 Honda Insight vehicles is warranted, as other owners are likely experiencing the same defect.

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.

The lane departure warning system in my Insight has, for the six years I have owned it, regularly been confused by shadows on the road - flashing a departure warning and trying to adjust the steering while I am driving within my lane. I was prompted to write this today because the LDS went off four times during my 8-mile drive to work this morning. It's mostly been a distracting annoyance, but as far as I know the system can't be disabled - just turned off manually every time the car is started. In sum: the vast majority of the times the lane departure system has alerted, the vehicle has not in fact been departing from a lane, but the LDS appears to be responding to shadows on the road - particularly in the morning and afternoon when shadows are darkest, and specifically while crossing a cable-stayed bridge (the cables cast lines of shadows across the roadway). I will put a date in your form, but this has been going on since I bought the vehicle in 2019.

I have a 2019 Honda Insight that has had two previous air conditioner failures that were covered under an extended warranty that Honda issued for the compressor and condenser based on known problems with the system. The air conditioner, as of 6/2025, has again failed for the third time. The local dealer Victory Honda of Morgan Hill diagnosed a leaking evaporator which Honda is refusing to cover as the car is out of factory warranty. Upon researching the matter online I learned it is a widespread issue and even resulted in an unsuccessful class action lawsuit. The air conditioner failures are a safety issue because the defroster does not function effectively without it. This can result in fogged windows causing impaired visibility while driving. I believe that the evaporator repair should be included in the 10 year air conditioner condenser and compressor warranty that Honda previously issued. The air conditioner is a closed system and whatever the root issues causing failures are, they don’t appear to be limited to just the two components covered under the extended warranty that Honda issued.

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.

I experienced an inadvertent emergency braking action in my 2019 Insight while cruising at highway speed. I was in the right lane, which had just doubled in width due to an on-ramp joining the highway. This situation will sometimes confuse my car's Lane Keeping Assist System, causing a side-to-side shudder or swerve, but in this case the Automatic Emergency Braking activated, causing me to lose about 10-15 mph in speed. There were no other cars around, and I never lost control of the vehicle. Most of the time, an AEB activation like what I experienced is completely harmless. There are no other cars around, and the road surface is good enough to prevent a loss of control. If another car is close behind or the road surface is extremely poor (ice, substantial water, etc.), this experience could possibly result in a rear-end collision or a spin-out. Because my AEB incident was harmless, I never reported it to the police, insurance, dealership, or manufacturer. I'm unaware of any warning lamps, messages, or symptoms before or after that could be related to the incident. As you can see, my report is anecdotal and I didn't save any precise documentation (e.g. dashcam footage) from when the incident occurred. My main goals in reporting are to corroborate the potential issue in investigation EA25002 and add my car's VIN as another data point.

I was stopped at a stoplight and then the light turned green. I began to accelerate and immediately and simultaneously my car began flashing BRAKE, beeping, and slamming on the brakes. I came to a literal grinding halt. There was no car in front of me nor was one merging into my lane. It was completely unwarranted and quite honestly frightening. There was a car behind me but thankfully they did not hit me. The CMBS clearly malfunctioned. Because there was no collision I did not file a police report. This however did put me at a huge risk of getting rear ended. The car has not been inspected since as this is not an open recall. There were no warning signs (lamps, messages, etc) before this occured.

While driving on or around September 4th, 2024, a warning light appeared on my dashboard. The warning stated “Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) Problem. See Your Dealer.” I took my car to Hare Honda for an inspection and service on September 18th, 2024, and was informed that the diagnostic process would need the car to be in the shop overnight. I rescheduled my diagnostic service for September 26, 2024. On the 26th, I received a notification regarding the diagnostic test and the warning turned out to be an internal issue with the Air Bag Control Module and it needed to be replaced. The cost for this replacement was quoted at $1,353.91. I tried searching for any recalls for my vehicle and could not find any active ones. I dug a little deeper and found out that Honda has a safety recall for the same SRS issue regarding the module used to deploy airbags. The NHTSA recall number is 18V664000 and the Honda recall numbers are B2R, C2P, and Z2Q. I tried searching for a place to claim that my car should be part of a recall that is no longer active, but I could not find a place to submit a claim for it until I found the reporting tool for the NHTSA. Any assistance would be appreciated, especially because this seems to be part of the same part that had a recall in the past and I was not notified. Looking forward to hearing from anyone! I will likely have to approve the service because I am using my car for an extended road journey on October 3rd. 2024.

I am writing to report a potentially serious safety issue with my vehicle. My car recently had its fuel pump replaced/repaired as part of a recall. However, only about 2 years after this recall repair, my car stopped accelerating while I was driving. This left me and my toddler stranded in the middle of the road in 110 degrees, creating a dangerous situation for us and other drivers. I took the vehicle to the dealership, where they diagnosed that the fuel pump needs to be replaced again. This is concerning as fuel pumps are typically expected to last up to 100,000 miles, and mine was just recently replaced/repaired due to the recall. This incident has caused significant hardship: It put my child and me in a potentially dangerous roadside situation. I lost a day's wages due to being unable to get to work. I am now faced with paying for over a thousand dollars of repairs, as I have no other option. I need my vehicle to get to work and transport my child. I am concerned that there may be a persistent issue with the fuel pumps in this vehicle model, or that the recall repair was not performed adequately. My Honda Service Consultant mentioned that there was a Honda bulletin letting them know of this sort of problem in cars that my make/model/year falls under and beckoned to another car with seemingly the same issue. This leaves me wondering why a, to all intents and purposes, common issue is a bulletin for instead of a recall. I request that the NHTSA investigate this matter to ensure the safety of other drivers who may have had the same recall repair. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I received a letter from Honda indicating a recall for the fuel pump impeller. The only thing Honda failed to say was for me to go to a dealership to get this fixed. Instead they sent a letter saying that they know the recall is needed but they didn’t know when they would have the piece available. I believe the letter was received in January 2024. Still to this date I haven’t received a letter from Honda indicating to take my vehicle in for repair. I am not sure how Honda is not prioritizing this as according to their letter our cars can stall while driving causing an accident. I would like my vehicle fixed as I don’t want to drive everyday and worry that my car will stall and possibly kill me. I have felt my gas pedals to feel weird as there’s times that I push the gas and my car accelerates too fast and there are times when I take my foot off the gas pedal it like shakes a little. My car has been feeling very different with regards to the gas pedal. I am concerned that it has to do with the recall.

I drove into my friends driveway with my foot on the brake to drop her off. All of a sudden my car lurched forward damaging my friends garage door and the foundation of her house. I had zero control of the car at that point. I plan on notifying Honda. There were no warning lights, or messages prior to this disaster.
