Consumer Description
I have owned my Honda Insight for almost 10 years now. I bought it because it has great MPG. But this year has been horrible for it. It suddenly lost power while I was driving on the highway. Luckily I was able to move over to the side, and traffic was not too heavy at the time. Checkered Flag Honda in Virginia Beach, VA performed a TSB on it, and again two months ago, stating the exact same repair to be done each time. Now, it is displaying the very same symptoms I took it in for the first time, AGAIN. I will be uploading those reciepts as soon as I can find them tomorrow. After looking online, it is very obvious that I am not the only one with this same problem that could possibly endanger drivers. Honda has failed for over 10 years to find the manufacturer defect in the 2010-2014 Honda Insights, and have been issuing repeated TSBs, with only minor deviations stating the same repair to be performed (details below). I confirmed in CarComplaints.com and InsightCentral.net, that Honda is indeed screwing people over on this. A compiled TSB history and detailed list are available in a shared excel file from my Google Drive here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lO7Z4vrtbtS9EzqW-PPwutNHTc4IPA2r/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107278015992975669585&rtpof=true&sd=true My guess is this could end up being a class action Lawsuit, judging by the responses of some of these folks in the forums. If you have any possibility of helping us with this, please do. And God Bless. -[XXX], USN (ret.) INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
