Hi Insighter,

Anyone encountered this issues with their insight? I have this problem as stated below from my mail to Honda, please can anyone advise if the service center still cannot fix the issues because reason given the problem happened intermittently and not permanent.
If Honda HQ is not replying, what should I do?

My letter to Honda Website:-
I am owner of Honda Insight 2011 with registration number XXXX would like your advise to help fix an issues which caused inconvenience and jeopardize my safety to drive. I have send this to XXXX Service Center for 3rd times to diagnosed the problem and it is still happening. My car is now in XXX SC. Full report and details can be found in XXX SC, please help to send some expert to diagnose. I can send you photos or videos if you provide me email.

Issues only occurred sometimes and not all the times. Dashboard light not working but ignition of engine is okay. When the dashboard light not turn on, following is not functioning:-
1) Air Conditioner is blowing hot air instead of cool air.
2) Gear stuck at P and unable to pull to any gear even after pressing the brake. Can only shift gear manually by inserting key into the hole near the gearbox.

After driving for somewhile, the dashboard will suddenly light up with different message appeared in the MID, "Check Emission System", "IMA System" warning message, "Check Transmission System".

After stop the engine and start back, everything will back to normal.

Yes, they have reset it several times and problem reoccurred. The SC already engaged someone from Honda to come and diagnose, hopefully they can managed to find the root cause, problem is that it only happened sometimes.

Already asked for replacement, SC say need to write detailed report for warranty claims and till now they don't actually know what is the problem. Saw them plug in something to the computer, test here and there, check the battery, take out the dashboard and re-plug all wiring. Problem still re-occurred. Warranty expired 2014 April.

Damn bad luck to have such defect, I do not make any modification and everything is original. Good is that yours still got air-cond, worst is my problem no air-cond some more nowadays hot sun and raining (condensation in windows,windscreen-have to stop the car cannot see at all), suffering even though consider new car.

BTW, do you complaint your issue to Honda Japan HQ?

Visit SC many times and also my car left there already coming 1 week and previously took another week.
