What is your question?
This is the first summer I drive with a Honda Insight and I noticed the AC stops working while the car does not move. Why does it happen? Any connection to the ECO button?

it is NOT an ECO MODE issue.. it is a fan issue… you can sit there and turn the eco mode on and off and it doesn't affect the air conditioning @ ziptie12 … I own an Insight and that is the first thing i tried. PUSHROD's answer is correct.
Not so much an inherent problem for any particular make but a common result of inoperative cooling fans.
The 'Insight' is a HYBRID --- When in 'ECO' mode , the A/C will NOT come on, because of the 'auto-stop' feature. Turn OFF the ECO mode , and the engine will stay running and you will have A/C.
Makes sense.. You'd think they'd have Insight enough to put that in the owners manual...
Oops! , it is , they are probably not the original owner??? Other than the Accord , none of the older Honda Hybrids(U.S. models) Are electric/belt driven compressors I need to study-up on them , but I think ALL of the newer ones are electric compressors.
Thank you all! I suspected it had to do with the ECO mode. Surprisingly (or not) I called Honda Tenafly where I bought the car to inquire and rather than first suggesting me to check this before coming over (and I specifically shared with them my suspicion), they asked me to bring the car. Does not help them to build a good reputation.
Thank you! Is this a common problem for Honda Insight?
