The car has only 83000 miles. We bought the vehicle 2 months ago from the estate of an individual that passed away. We were driving the vehicle and the gas pedal stopped working. Prior to this happening, we noticed no oil leak from the car. Per the manual we were checking oil level everytime we filled car up and would top it as it would be lower. We were driving the car on the highway and when we pressed on the gas pedal it stopped working, the car was not moving. Several lights came on the car, check engine etc. We took it to the dealership for a check and was told that the car needed a new engine at the tune of $17000. Honda Company stated that the car had no warranty on the engine and they would take no responsibility for failure. Was told engine block and piston 1 to 4 had misfire. No prior warning was given to us. The spark plugs for those pistons had melted the head.

About two months ago, my car began fluttering after I started the engine and began accelerating. The power felt reduced as well. Like most people's first instinct, I began checking the oil and noticed the oil appeared low especially considering that I had received an oil change not long before this occurred. Since then I've head to check the oil incessantly and am constantly adding oil to supplement. Then I bergen noticing an oil leak in my drive way and almost anytime I parked somewhere for a short period of time. Then my engine light began coming on telling me to check the vehicle's emissions system. This was an issue I had never seen before. Now I realize this message IS illuminated due to a high oil consumption of the vehicle. The final straw that broke the camel's back was, while on the highway my vehicle began losing engine power and could not get above 65 mph. The engine began making loud puttering noises, that were especially intense while the vehicle was costing and immediately upon accelerating from a complete stop. My fear IS that the engine IS shot at this point. I'm even more concerned after seeing this IS a chronic issue with many owners off this year - make - model. Unfortunately, I purchased this vehicle used and haven't had it even a year.

This car IS the absolute worst car I have ever owned. The oil consumption IS outrageous and the car only has 89K miles on it. It also burns through spark plugs like crazy, I've probably put close to 500 dollars into it at least just in oil and spark plugs this year alone. In the two years I have owned it, it has left me stranded in strange neighborhoods, parking lots, at my job, and at my home because of it throwing the spark plugs with no warning. Upon changing the plugs, all cylinders, especially four, are filled with oil. Most recently, I changed the spark plugs in my work parking lot, and refilled the oil. A week later, I found myself repeating the same process because it killed the plugs again. I have been driving down the road and suddenly lost acceleration, in traffic, and had my dash light up like a christmas tree. To the best of my knowledge, the 2012 and 2013 engine contains experimental piston rings, which are clearly faulty. Not just by my own account, but by countless others as well. I do not have five grand to replace the engine or have it rebuilt, and I should not have to. Honda needs to be held responsible for their mistake and should be forced to recall these engines. The consumers who purchased these vehicles should not be forced to pay for something that IS out of their control. These cars are ticking time bombs, I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. I will be filing complaints with honda itself as well as the bbb in addition to this one. Please do something about this, I saw how many other complaints you have received in regards to this issue. It's time to do something about this instead of ignoring it and letting honda get away with it. If it died on the freeway, which it almost has, it would become a serious threat to my safety and those around me.

I have a 2012 honda insight with 80000 miles and am having excessive oil consumption at 1 quart of oil per 2000 miles of driving per the dealership. honda says this IS acceptable and only a problem at 1 quart per 1000 miles driven. I have read the concerns and the vehicle has poorly seated rings due to a design defect admitted by honda. my concern IS this IS resulting in loss of compression and resulting total loss of power leaving people with vehicles rolling down the road and then the engine drops out totally. this IS a safety issue, environmental issue and of course customer theft issue.

I have a 2012 honda insight. on 12/23/18 I was driving on the highway and the power cut out. this IS the 3RD incident in a one year and half where the spark plugs have blown cutting the power to the car. Mechanic told me it would be $1700. I couldn't get it fixed I was getting on a plane 3 days later for three weeks. evidentally it has to something with the excess burning of oil getting to the spark plugs. I've found where others have this problem also. its quite expensive to fix. this has to be a manufacturer problem. now I'm without a car again. at this time I am walking with a walker and no car. This keeps happening! What IS going on.

My honda insight 2012 IS burning oil. After an oil change I drive around 3500 mile and the red engine oil warning light comes on. First time it happened I took the car ,like 3-4 years ago, to the dealer. They replaced the piston rings under warranty but it did not solve the problem. I am dealing with this problem for the last around 3-4 years. It always happens after around 3500 mile, I get the red light. I take it to dealer and dealer starts oil consumption test and tells me nothing IS wrong. They did oil consumption test 4 or 5 times already. One time they told me that they had to add 3.5 quart oil and the engine block needs to be replaced since piston rings are already replaced. I was inexperienced to not get a written document stating they added 3.5 quart oil. Then they told me that they will contact honda about it. A few days later they called me and said honda thinks it IS normal. Recently due to job change I drive very little that IS why it takes time for me to regenerate the problem but I know it happens. It happened like 5 times so far. The extended warranty will end in 2020. I have like a year to demonstrate it. some people had power loss issues on freeway. I did not have that so far because I do not take long freeway rides when I reach to 2K mile after last oil change. We use my wife's car if I have to take freeway.

My daughter's honda insight experienced the excessive oil consumption issue. her vehicle later had severe engine problems and stalled at 6:00 am on I-64. a honda dealership diagnosed the problem as damage to cylinder, piston, cylinder head and valves of cylinder number 3. all other cylinders were within normal operating conditions. my complaint IS that the notice sent to consumers omitted that the excessive oil consumption could lead to engine failure and an accident. consumers with little or no mechanical knowledge who purchased this vehicle used, may not be aware of the problem and will not be aware of the risk and severity of the problem. those who notice excessive oil consumption may assume that it IS from age and not a design defect that could place their life in danger. the service bulletin sent by honda to its dealerships IS almost identical to that provided the consumer with one exception. the service bulletin included additional information describing the potential damage to the engine from the manufacture's defect. when the natural consequences of this manufacture's defect occur it the engine immediately loses power and will not run. in my daughter's case it was early in the morning with little traffic. however, she was on I-64 about to merge onto I-95. had the engine failed at a later time in the day she would have lost power in traffic on a major highway. vehicles behind her would have no reason to expect a sudden loss of acceleration. the potential for rear-end collisions and/or crashes while the operator of this model honda IS attempting to exit the highway with no power IS very high.
