Consumer Description

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.
