2019 HONDA INSIGHT Visibilitywiper Problems

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.

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...

Was taken into the dealership on 1/27 for an oil change and a general check-up. This morning 1/29 before starting up the vehicle noticed that the windshield had cracked windshield that looked like it was due to a bubble being created between the panes of glass which caused it to crack and shatter. This is not only a safety concern but an issue as well. Thankfully I was not driving the vehicle at the time that this happened.

WHILE DRIVING THE DISPLAY SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF AND RESETS. THIS PREVENTS THE ABILITY TO USE THE BACKUP CAMERA. THIS HAPPENS ON BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS.
