Three problems related to car stall have been reported for the 2012 Honda Insight. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tl the contact owns a 2012 Honda Insight. The contact called on behalf of the driver. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was able to be coasted to the side of the road. The driver attempted to restart the vehicle, but it failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the driver's residence. The vehicle was later taken to priority Honda hampton (located at 4115 w Mercury blvd, hampton, va 23666, (757) 838-1252) where it was diagnosed that the piston three in cylinder three, valve, and engine head needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
Since November 2015, I've had to add one quart 0w-20 full synthetic oil to maintain its oil level. I'd driven about 875 miles per week at that point. The problem progressed and the vehicle had problems accelerating and would stall out on occasion. I had a very scary experience where the car stalled out in to oncoming traffic while trying to pull out on to the road, making a left hand turn on to a mountain highway. The fuel economy sharply declined since then. The spark plugs failed prematurely, and now the long block needs to be replaced after giving out for the final time in June 2016. The repair is $9,700 for a vehicle I still owe $9,000 on. Honda needs to stand by its product and make it safe for its consumers to drive. They have been completely negligent in this matter, issuing settlements and extended warranties to only the v6 engines with the same problem and select v4 engines on a case by case basis, preference going to people who are the original owners, did all servicing exclusively at Honda-certified dealerships, and who are barely outside the warranty. A vehicle of this caliber should last more than 85k miles or so. The problems started around 68k miles, but the powertrain warranty only covers up to 60k miles.
I am consuming to much oil. I did not know that there was a problem til after I bought car and the check emission light came on. I thought it was because I didn't not screw my gas cap on tight enough. Then I went to a local store to have them check my oil and they said I had none, and checked my mileage, they said I should have had oil in there at the mileage number it was at. So I have taken the car 3 times to dealer they have done oil consume test, and want me to come in to perform a higher price oil change for $90 to slow oil consumer. They said I was no longer in warranty to fix it. But if this is a known issue why is it that purchasers must come out of their pocket it should taken care of through dealership. I am one that does not have the funds to take care of all this. Also at times it stalls.
