2019 Honda Insight Engine Problems

Engine light came on around 60,000 miles. Indicated cylinder 4 compression off. Eventually diagnosed as blown head gasket resulting in engine replacement costing over $4300. I was told there was an extended warranty on the 2017 and 2018 models but not the 2019 model year. I did purchase one of the first insights produced in the 2019 model year and wonder if I received an engine with the same issue as the 2018.

There were 2 recalls on my car and both have been serviced. But I keep having issues with a whole host of sensors including check engine light that lights up every week and the car is practically unusable. When the check engine and other lights/sensors trigger, the gas pedal is practically useless and cannot accelerate the car. This is a big problem when I'm on the road and might lead to catastrophic accident. I have taken my car several times to have it checked and I'm still having issues. Of late I keep hearing a whole lot of fan that are whirling and I could feel heat inside the car even when a/c is on. I have a feeling that this car has serious cooling issues and I'm feel unsafe driving this car. I would appreciate your help in this regard.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 HONDA INSIGHT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SENSOR ACTIVATED WHICH CAUSED THE AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM TO ABRUPTLY STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO POHANKA HONDA LOCATED AT 1772 RITCHIE STATION CT, CAPITAL HEIGHTS, MD (301) 899-7800, HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. JUNE 13, 2020: CAR WAS TAKEN IN FOR MAINTENANCE (26,295 MILEAGE IN) AT DEALERSHIP FOR 5 DAYS. SCHEDULED B MAINTENANCE AND FUEL PUMP MOTOR SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. DIAGNOSTIC WAS ALSO DONE AT THE REQUEST OF CONTACT (CAR OWNER) FOR THE 3RD TIME AND DURING THIS TIME, DEALERSHIP CALLED MANUFACTURER (HONDA) AND THEY STATED "BRAKING FEELING UNCOMFORTABLE BECAUSE IT'S HYBRID WHEN THE SPEED IS IN USE IT RECHARGES BATTERY IT MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE OF THE HYBRID SYSTEM." CAR STILL ACTIVATES ACC AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING WHEN DRIVING JULY 3-6 ROAD TRIP THE LKAS+ ACC SYSTEM WAS TURNED OFF TO AVOID FORCED BRAKING AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES.
