Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I have a 2006 honda insight. We are due with our first child in september 2007. We will need the vehicle to transport our child to and from daycare. Our dealer has refused to disable the airbag to make the car safer for an infant in a carseat. I would like advise/authorization on how to proceed to make our car safe for our soon to be born infant.
