Consumer Description

EXCESSIVELY BURN ENGINE OIL. DEFECTIVE PISTON RINGS CAR WAS STALLING ON FREEWAY WITH "CHECK ENGINE" "CHECK BRAKE" " "CHECK HILL START ASSISTANT" "CHECK VSA" LIGHT FLASHING. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND EXACT SAME SYMPTONS WHICH WAS FILED FOR 2012 HONDA INSIGHT. REFER TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10747250. HE HAS DESCRIBED WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING WORD BY WORD. IN 2013, HONDA SETTLED CLASS-ACTION LAW SUIT WITH SAME PROBLEM ON DIFFERENT MODELS, BUT 2013 INSIGHT HAS SAME DEFECTS, EXCESSIVE OIL-BURNING, FAULTY PISTON RINGS, ETC. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH NOT HAVING ACCIDENT ON FREEWAY, BUT SUDDENT STALLING MAY CAUSE CRASH, INJURY, AND FATALITY. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
