HONDA INSIGHT 2000 car safety problem was reported on Aug 16, 2003.HONDA INSIGHT 2000, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . the state of charge gauge on my 2000 honda insight no longer accurately reports the state of charge of its ima battery. boost from the ima battery is crucial for providing additional power to accelerate safely on freeway onramps, when overtaking cars on 2-lane highways, etc. with increasing frequency, when the state of charge gauge indicates that the ima battery is only partially discharged, ima battery boost suddenly and unexpectedly ceases. if this happens during a period of crucial acceleration, the sudden plummet in the rate of acceleration could lead to a serious accident.the incident date i have listed is only the most recent incident date. this problem now occurs almost any time i ascend a long upgrade for more than a couple of minutes. it also occurred shortly after my acquisition of this insight used in may, 2002, but has been occurring with increasing frequency as time passes. what seems to be happening is that the ima battery's capacity has diminished to about half of its new capacity with deterioration continuing. despite the fact that this problem has been reported by a number of insight owners across the united states, honda has refused to acknowledge that this dangerous problem exists and so has refused to fix the problem. honda's attitude is that if no diagnostic code is being set, no problem exists.because this problem could affect the growing number of gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles in the united states, i am asking you to investigate this problem and require honda to implement a solution.*ak.Mileage was 9600 miles.

HONDA INSIGHT 2000 car safety problem was reported on Dec 21, 2004.HONDA INSIGHT 2000, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR . the rear hatch window of the insight "self-destructed" while the vehicle was parked in the garage overnight. the weather had been extremely cold (in the teens), the car had been parked outside all day while at work, and the rear defroster had been used on the commute home. the following morning, the window was found still be in place but was broken around the entire perimeter and the window itself was completely shattered being held in place by the laminate. through some online research, i tracked down another insight owner who had reported the exact same problem on "yahoo! groups" two weeks earlier. i contacted him and found that his window had "self-destructed" in the exact same manner after being parked outside in cold weather. i brought my car to the local honda dealership along with the results of my research and they contacted honda america. honda america told the dealer there were no problems with the window that they were aware of and that they consider it normal damage that will have to be paid for (my insurance is covering it). as the insight is a rather limited production vehicle, the repair parts will take a few days to obtain. for this reason, the current damaged part (window) is still available should an investigation be warranted. i consider this a potential safety issue as there is the possibility for the window to spontaneously break while the car is being driven. luckily myself and the other owner had our vehicles parked at the time so we did not have any moving vehicle issues. this would appear to be a concern for people with insight's in cold weather climates.*ak.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 26500 miles.

HONDA INSIGHT 2000 car safety problem was reported on July 20, 2006.HONDA INSIGHT 2000, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BATTERY . prior to the incident date, the ima battery in my 2000 honda insight, has repeatedly lost its charge, rapidly (called a "recall event"). this causes an unexpected hesitation and lack of acceleration. on the incident date, i was entering a highway from an on ramp and couldn't accelerate at the rate that i was accustomed to, because the ima battery had quickly and unexpectedly discharged. this resulted in me blocking upcoming traffic and several drivers had to perform avoidance maneuvers. this sudden, unexpected loss of ima assist, is indicative of a failing/aging ima battery. honda's computer monitoring system does not register/detect this as a mil code. it is only a matter of time until this unexpected loss of acceleration cause a loss of life. more information on this can be found on: http://www.insightcentral.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=750 this forum is made of insight owners and i don't put a lot of stock in their explanations of what a recall event is. i can say definitively that 1). these recall events become more frequent as the ima battery ages and 2).they are dangerous, as outlined above. honda will not replace the battery, even though it is under warranty, unless a mil is generated. this will only happen when the ima battery is heavily degraded. the recall events, however, occur with less than this level of degradation and honda's monitoring system ignores this dangerous situation. *jb .Mileage was 53000 miles.

HONDA INSIGHT 2000 car safety problem was reported on Dec 08, 2006.HONDA INSIGHT 2000, manufactured by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) had a problem with VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR . i drove my (always garaged) insight to work on a cold morning where the temperature was about 15 degrees when i reached my place of work at 7:20 a.m. i returned to my vehicle, in the parking lot at a little after 12:00 p.m. to find that the rear glass was completely shattered. this is the main rear glass that includes the window defroster and is only available through genuine honda parts. there is no aftermarket manufacturer of this glass. my parking lot has full time security with cameras in place. no exterior force, other than the environment, had any effect on the malfunction of the car's rear glass. the only thing i can imagine is that the sun heated the cold aluminum hatch at a much faster rate than it heated the glass. this caused the glass to burst and shatter. there was no impact mark like a rock or blunt object might create. but rather there was a fracture all along the perimeter of the glass. upon contacting honda, and taking the vehicle to the dealer where all service in the past has been done, they declined, on behalf of honda usa, to take any responsibility for the defect in the automobile. therefore, i had to use out of pocket and insurance to take care of this clearly defective part. i took pictures and documented the broken glass. honda motor company usa should take responsibility for an unsafe and defective rear glass. *jb.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 61150 miles.
