2020 Honda INSIGHT 4 DR FWD

The contact stated 2020 Honda Insight. The contact stated while driving approximately 4-5 MPH through a drive-thru, the cruise control set button was tapped and the speed increased to 25 mph without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 2,800. The VIN was not available.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MILES PER HOUR, I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY CAR. I THEN SAW WARNINGS FLASHING FROM MY DASH BOARD SAYING: AC MALFUNCTION, LKAS MALFUNCTION,AND THEN ANOTHER WARNING FLASHED SAYING - LOW OIL FLUID, STOP CAR DO NOT DRIVE. I COASTED CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND GOT OUT OF VEHICLE AND CALLED TOWING SERVICE.

DAMAGE TO THE POWER STEERING LINKAGE CABLE AND OXYGEN SENSOR CAUSED ALL ADAS SYSTEMS TO BE OFFLINE INCLUDING POWER STEERING. IF THIS UNIT WERE TO BE DAMAGED JUST ENOUGH AND FAIL WHILE DRIVING THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A CRASH/COLLISION AS THE CAR BECOMES COMPLETELY UNDRIVABLE. LUCKILY SO FAR, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND DID NOT CAUSE ANY INJURY. I FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE UNTIL THEY FIX THIS ISSUE. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES NOW AND NOTHING SEEMS TO BE BEING DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS OF YET FROM HONDA. THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD TO HONDA'S ATTENTION WITH NO AFFIRMATION THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT FIRST HAPPENED IN SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR AND HAS HAPPENED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES SINCE.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE, THE CAR IS MAKING VERY LOUD 'DONG DONG DONG' NOISE. THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE (STOP FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT). I AM NOT SURE IF THE NOISE IS FROM THE HYBRID SYSTEM, BUT THE NOISE MAKE ONE'S EARS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE.

VERY OCCASIONALLY THE CAR COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEMS KICKS IN ERRATICALLY. THE CAR BRAKES AUTOMATICALLY TO REDUCE SPEED SUBSTANTIALLY. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT HIT FROM THE BACK. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS THE HIGHWAY. I THINK IT MIGHT BE DUE TO THE COLLISON SENSOR MISSCLASSIFYING SIGNBOARDS OR OVERHEAD BRIDGES AS HUMANS OR CARS

DRIVING ALONE ON ROAD DOING 30 MPH THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND SLOWED TO ABOUT 20 MPH WHILE FLASHING "BRAKE" IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. NO OTHER CARS ON THIS ROAD AT THE TIME. THERE WERE SHADOWS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM SUN AND TREES. SINCE I ALWAYS DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT, IF THERE IS SOMEONE FOLLOWING ME, THEY ARE USUALLY RIGHT ON MY TAIL. I DON'T WANT TO BE SHOT FOR "BRAKE CHECKING" SOME REDNECK IN A PICKUP WHEN IT ISN'T EVEN ME DOING THE BRAKING. NHTSA ISN'T DOING IT'S JOB BY ALLOWING THIS ISSUE TO CONTINUE.

ACC ON, TRAVELING 75MPH ON IH-10 E; CAR TWO LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME, IN RH LANE, PULLS OFF ONTO EXIT RAMP, MY CAR SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AND BRINGS MY CAR DOWN TO 45MPH, IF THERE HAD BEEN SOMEONE BEHIND ME THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. SAME HI-WAY, CAR 1/2 CAR LENGTH IN FRONT ON MY LEFT. WE GO AROUND A SLOPING CURVE TO THE RIGHT, MY CAR AGAIN SLAMS ON THE BRAKES, AND I HAD TO JUMP ON MY GAS PEDDLE, AS THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND ME THIS TIME. COMPLAINED TO MY SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL! NOPE, NOTHING NORMAL ABOUT THIS SITUATION! ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THEIR SOLUTION, DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL!

RIGHT AFTER A DAY OF PURCHASED AND DRIVING BACK HOME. WE DID HEAR WINDY NOISE WAS COMING OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BY THE DRIVER SIDE AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HELPED FIX IT FOR NOW.

I BOUGHT A 2020 HONDA INSIGHT IN MARCH 2020. I HAVE 8,000 MILES ON IT AND JUST THE THREE WEEKS AGO I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED SAYING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, SEE DEALERSHIP. IT'S BRAND NEW. I TOOK IT TO THE LODI HONDA AND THE CODES WERE A STUCK SELONIED. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO DAMAGE. OK, IT DID IT A SECOND TIME AND I AM READY TO GIVE IT BACK. PLEASE HELP ME. SCARED OF GETTING STRANDED ON THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY.
