Some Honda Insight owners report experiencing recurring transmission problems despite dealer interventions, indicating potential underlying issues that may not be resolved by standard repairs. These issues have persisted even when maintenance was conducted according to Honda's recommendations, raising concerns about the reliability of the transmission system. Owners have reported a variety of transmission-related problems, including gear synchro wear, gear slippage, and difficulty shifting gears, all of which can negatively impact the driving experience and safety of the vehicle.
