Hi all, I have my 2000 Honda Insight, license "6T2 MPG" from Ohio on a 12,000 mile trip around the sunny, southern part of the USA. I retired in March 2005 and...
I doubt that I'll be able to keep up with the new sales figures, so if someone would like to take the list I have and update it (and fill in some of the...
Hello, I see this list has somewhat withered, but thought I would post about another failure in the life of my car. For those who did not see my ealier post...
Shawn, Glad to hear you found a used trans so close to work. Better than having to pay shipping cross country or something. Did the dealer give you any...
I bought a spare used tranny to have for the future ... cost $650.00 . I understand that the synchros on the '00 and '01 model years tend to fail. Changes were...
I have a 2000 Insight with about 84000 miles. The only out of the ordinary thing I've had to do to it is replace the O2 sensor. However, now there are some...
Debbi: Sounds all normal to me. My battery level on my '00 likes to hang at three bars these days , once in a while going to the top. I am not sure about the ...
Debbi, Based on experience with my 2000 Insight (110,000 miles), #1 is normal and nothing to worry about (until it begins to happen much more frequently). It ...
... This happened on one of my Insights, I don't remember if it was the '00 or the '01. Its the hatch support strut. They are easy to replace, mine was...
My 2000 Insight battery had been showing its age. Recently the IMA light came on (at 112,000 miles). The service rep said the recommended repair was a new...
My light jsut came on for my 2000 Insight at 118,000 miles. They told ne Honda would pat 75% of $5,000.00 for the battery and module. I don't know why the...
It has happened again--I got into my 2000 Insight (with 86k on it) this morning to go to work, and it wouldn't start. The last time was in the middle of the...
I would have your 12v battery checked. If the 12v battery charge is too low, the computer that runs the IMA will not allow the IMA to start the car. The cause...
Agreed - The 12 volt battery is the place to start. Because it is not used to crank the motor over (except under unusual circumstances) it can go bad over time...
Because once the insight is running it is operating off of its 144 volt to 12 volt inverter. It would be trying to charge the 12 volt battery at that time, if...
Sad day indeed. This is the first print article I've seen that positively states from a Honda executive that the Insight is gone. I wonder if the replacement...
Batteries have funny characteristics. For example if a battery runs down in a flash and the light goes off, you can often turn it off for a period of time and...
Well, it was fine yesterday, but this morning it did the same thing, except I had to jump start it. Fortunately, it proved itself by not starting at the...
(Since there was only one message in this Digest, I'll copy it all; my reply refers to the entire message) 1. The tactic of escalating to the Honda Customer...
Today I received the notification letter from Honda. After reading the notice, I wonder what an "update" of my Insight will entail. "Depending on what is...
I too got "the letter" last week so I'm in the clear. I checked with my dealer and parts are on order at no charge to me. I'm looking forward to returning the...
My IMA light came on 3 weeks ago. When it came on, I immediately looked at my mileage, 80102. I had to drive about 100 miles to get home. By then the light...
... Doug, It would be helpful if you would write the name and location of your Honda service center. Perhaps you do not live in a location covered by the...
