Thanks for your responses. I'm glad to know there IS a good reason to make sure the 12v battery doesn't die. I was starting to feel like I'd replaced it too...
Dave, I believe it's a halogen '9003'. I use the Sylvania SilverStar headlights, part # 9003ST. Instructions are in the owners manual - they are very easy to...
Thank for the reply. I also went with the So;verStars. I've had the car for several years but for some reason I thouhgt that the headlight replacement...
... I think I've got the same problem. My dealer also keeps insisting that "everything looks good" when I know it isn't. My SOC drops down to one bar and...
I'm afraid I may be slipping into that, too. Every other day I notice a serious drop in assist but, usually as I'm driving. Not on a left turn. I have to drive...
According to my dealer: $2900 suggested retail for the battery packs. The engine battery is the same as civics from the 70's. Honda has up to this date not...
... Thanks for the info. I'm afraid my car's WAY beyond the warranty. My work is 55 miles away from my house (which explains why I bought the Insight to begin...
$2900 service order not just parts price. Again this was all according to my dealer. The Service guy said it was a biotch to replace the main batteries. ...
Todd - I'm concerned the I may have the same problem you have on my 2001 CVT with 62,000 - what were the symptoms you experienced that lead you to believe the...
Richard, Thank you for the reminder. It has been one week since Honda replaced my transmission (for free -- cost would have been $3,700). I needed to drive...
Funny you mentioned, that it felt like your old Audi that had fuel injector problems, when my problem first started I thought it was the fuel injectors, I...

David, and any others who've had transmissions replaced, Please excuse this thread going on and on with one last weird question, but I want to make sure I am...
no I did not, it is possible that the dealer spilled some fluid when filing the new transmission, or possibly a leak. I would have a mechanic check the...

... /snip/ ... I was happy to read about your experience with Honda. For many Insight owners, however, problems have not been so well handled, or even ...
I sure hope that it can be considerably cheaper than that... My IMA battery is DEAD. The light came on and when it did, it triggered two other lights. There...
There is no alternator of the car. The IMA system supplies all the electrical power to run the 12V system. If your charge light is on it could mean that your...
This is true, hence a push start yeilds a mutant car, able to barely run but not charging itself... ... down ... having ... start? ... so ... showing ... that?...
Excellent time to get them searching... I never did bother when autostop first started to fail... Didn't think it was a big deal. Now looking back, I think...
I believe there is some trickle charge that occurs as you drive but it's low enough to still be concerned about. My battery hovers around 11.5-11.8 volts...
Follow-up: got my car home and to the shop... I had been visiting my parents who live two hours away. I don't believe there is a charge at all, just the...
A fellow owner (who isn't active online) showed me something interesting last night. A motoring supplement of one of the UK national newspapers, featuring a...
I'm still waiting to see the Honda (Acura) Dual Note at the International Car Show in Detroit. The Dual Note is an $80.000 NSX with an IMA, 4 doors, and the...
... When you get new IMA batteries, I'd be most interested in hearing the results. I don't think my IMA is in quite as bad a shape as yours, but mine's...
Twin City Honda in TX called and said that the car needed three things... I happen to have expected it. 1. IMA battery $3392.00 2. Cat Converter $ 975.34 ...
The IMA batteries are $2900-$3400 dollars to replace? I rememeber the Honda salesman quoting approx. $800 to replace them (yeah, I know...) Ouch! That seems...

Not much to this post. Have read some basics on the web but they haven't left me remotely CLEAR. Sounds like something electrical... could explain some very...
Ok, a vastly simplified version... The VTEC system is what changes the valve timing in Honda cars by enabling different valves at certain RPMs. The system is ...
I think I understand, but in that case, I may have to look at my manual to see if I think it's too tedious to do myself. I have done a few tedious things...
