I purchased a new 2022 Honda Insight from a dealership. The vehicle began shaking when I was driving and even stopped in the roadway several times. Honda has inspected and attempted to repair the vehicle but multiple people have indicated that the issue cannot be resolved and was sold to me as a faulty vehicle. Honda, specifically, the mediation department ([XXX]), has indicated that they would not be resolving the issue in any way. It is important to note that this occurred regardless of whether the check engine light was on or off. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While I was going 5-10mph over a railroad crossing, the steering wheel airbag deployed as my front tires went over the grade crossing. The airbag also went left instead of straight. My hand is bruised and it sounded like a gunshot went off in my vehicle. After the deployment, the vehicle was still driveable. I drove it to a Honda dealership and they were very concerned and called corporate.

Approximately 29-30 months after purchase multiple panels of the car are peeling with paint. Small knicks continue to bubble and get larger. Honda is not covering this problem because the milage is past 36,000 but this is clearly a manufacturing defect; the dealership did fix two panels for us (photos starting with a 1 and 2) free of charge but will not cover a third repair (photos starting with a 3). I think this vehicle is defective and should be completely repainted or exchanged.

Is 32 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2021 and 2026, roughly 7 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
