TAKATA RECALL: CALLED MY HONDA DEALER (BRILLIANT HONDA OF CRYSTAL LAKE, IL) ON APRIL 8 AFTER RECEIVING LETTER FROM HONDA CORP. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 3 MONTHS & I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN CALLED FOR MY REPLACEMENT. I LIVE AN HOUR AWAY FROM CLOSEST HONDA DEALER & ASKED THEM FOR A "LOANER CAR" WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE. I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MORE THAN 30 MINS FROM MY HOME, OR TAKING PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. CAN YOU HELP ME?

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF OIL OVER DECREASING AMOUNT OF MILES TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR NOW LOSES 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 1,000 MILES (VERIFIED BY LOCAL HONDA DEALER). THIS ISSUE CAUSES THE SPARK PLUGS TO FOUL OUT LEADING TO CARS THAT STALL WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE WHILE DRIVING IN A CITY AND THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BAD SPARK PLUGS AND THE CAR WAS BACK ON IT'S WAY, BUT THE CAR IS STILL BURNING THE OIL AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS SITUATION HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS INCIDENT STARTED IN DECEMBER, 2015 AND PERSISTS TO THIS DAY.

THE HONDA INSIGHT 2013 APPARENTLY HAS DEFECTS IN THE OIL CONSUMPTION LEVEL. I WAS DRIVING MY CAR A MONTH AGO WITH MY OIL SERVICE RENEWED COMPLETELY AT A DEALERSHOP AND SUDDENLY A MONTH LATER THE CAR STARTED TO SHOW ME SIGNS OF (OIL CHANGE NEED TO REPAIR) AND AN EMISSION SYSTEM SIGNAL ON THE FRONT LED SCREEN INSIDE THE CAR. I KNEW AT THE MOMENT IT WAS NOT MY FAULT FOR NOT PUTTING THE OIL ON TIME BUT IT WAS THE CAR'S OIL CONSUMPTION LEVEL I KNOW THIS BY EXPERIENCE BECAUSE ON THE OTHER CARS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN BUT THE HONDA INSIGHT DOES. IT ALSO MADE A LARGE CLUNK NOISE WHICH MEANT THAT I HAD TO PUT MORE OIL INSIDE THE CAR TO KEEP THE CAR FROM NOT FUNCTIONING ANYMORE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT MY INSIGHT NEW IN 2012. I NOW HAVE 74K MILES. AT APPROXIMATELY 55K MILES MY INSIGHT BEGAN TO HAVE AN "EMISSIONS" ERROR CODE. AFTER SOME INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THE OIL WAS LOW (2-3 QUARTS). THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE THAT TIME EVERY 5-6 WEEKS, ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH I DRIVE THE CAR. THE "EMISSIONS" ERROR ILLUMINATES, I CHECK THE OIL AND IT IS LOW. IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN LAST MONTH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR SERVICED RELIGIOUSLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE AND HAVE NOT MISSED AN OIL CHANGE, TIRE ROTATION, ETC.
