2013 Honda Insight Owner Comments

problem #3

Jul 242018

Insight CVT EX 1.3L 14 Mpi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 132,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

On June 5, 2017, at 124,361 the engine stalled, numerous lights lit up and the car wouldn't do more than about 10 miles per hour. Hobbled my way to the Honda dealership which luckily was only about a mile away. Car completely stalled several times in route.

Prior to this event, the car used about 1 quart of oil for every 2,000 miles driven. This had been occurring since it was new. Dealership inspected the car and told me that the oil injectors, ignition sensor and spark plugs would need to be replaced. Also informed me that excessive oil use was normal for this car. Wish they had told me that when they sold it to me.

Tech who repaired the car had to keep it for a week because he couldn't get the oil lifters to seat. He also said he was puzzled about the spark plugs (the hybrid uses 8) because they showed signs of heat and fouling. Total repair cost $1,381.57.

This car started exhibiting increased oil use between 90,000 to 100,000 miles. Above the 1 qt mentioned above.

The warranty company Preferred Protection is doing a great job of SNAKING it's self out of covering this claim. States it won't cover it due to foreign object in the cylinder. The Honda Dealership of San Benito, Texas appears to be wanting to help with the situation.

My car randomly shuts down on the highway. Any one else having this issue? I also have a hard time with the Blue Tooth answering calls. The dealership said it could be the software on my phone.
