TAKATA RECALL I HAVE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT BOTH HONDA DIRECTLY THROUGH CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE LOCAL DEAL WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. HAVE REQUESTED TO HAVE AIR BAG CHANGED. HONDA INFORMED ME A YEAR AGO THAT THE PARTS WERE BEING DELIVERED. AT EACH OF THE LAST THREE CALLS I HAVE MADE TO THE DEALER OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS I HAVE BEEN TOLD PARTS ARE ON ORDER AND TO WAIT. I HAVE REQUESTED ADDITIONAL OPTIONS AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO WAIT. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR HONDA HAS OFFERED ANY FURTHER TIME FRAME NOR OPTIONS TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE AIRBAG. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH GETTING THIS ADDRESSED?

MY PERSONAL OPINION IS BAD PISTON RINGS!!! GROVES ARE CREATED OVER TIME AND THUS OIL IS CONSUMED INTO THE BLOCK.

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.
