2004 Honda Insight, 5-Speed Manual Transmission with 196,314 miles
- I purchased this car on July 8th of 2012. Since then, I have experienced some issues with the car as noted in detail below in the Detailed History and Known Issues section.
- I am the third owner of this vehicle and have a clear title issued by the state of Virginia.
- The car currently has 196,314 miles.
- I am selling it because my daily commute to and from work decreased significantly, and more importantly, I plan on moving soon and will not be able to take this and my other car with me.
- Vehicle Number: JHMZE13744T000366
- Engine Number: ECA1-1040367
- Color, Exterior / Interior: Silverstone Metallic / Beige
- 5-Speed Manual Transmission
- A/C (works great)
- CD player (I also added an iPod connection)
- Non-smoker / smoke-free
- 2012, July 8th: Car purchased from second owner. Approximately, 190,300 miles on the odometer. I have the CARFAX Vehicle History Report from back then if you are interested.
- 2012, July 9th ~ 13th: 190,639 miles. During the first week of ownership the Check Engine Light came on. I took it to the local Honda dealership (Williamsburg Honda) and they told me that the check engine light was due to Code P2000 ("Oxides of Nitrogen Trap Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1"). So, the car will need a new catalytic converter (expensive fix!) at some point in the future. At this time I had them do a 5K mile service which included: an oil change (0W20 Mobil), replacement of the transmission fluid, new air filter, new cabin filter, and new spark plugs were installed. The front wiper inserts were replaced as well. They also told me that the left rear shock was leaking, though they didn't note this as an issue on subsequent visits.
- 2012, August 9th: 191,952 miles. New 12V battery installed by Williamsburg Honda.
- 2012, August 24th: The dreaded IMA Light came on... Kept driving the car around with just the gasoline engine with no electric motor assist.
- 2013, February 4th: 196,040 miles. Oil and filter change, and state safety inspection at Williamsburg Honda.
- 2013, April 25th: The car was towed to Williamsburg Honda after it stopped running while I was driving home... Couldn't get it to start-up. First the CD-player quit, then the lights of the dash dimmed and flickered, then the engine quit when I stopped at a stop-light.
- 2013, April 26th: 196,280 miles. The car is now up and running again after being serviced at Williamsburg Honda. During this last service visit, Williamsburg Honda also noted that the valves are noisy and that they possibly need adjusting. They could not duplicate the problem that I had the night before, but, did find "Code 58 in IMA System". Also, they noted, "Tested all was good except 12 volt battery so charged with GR-8 then tested good. Possible temporary failure at this time." Not very helpful... After this "reset" the car is running fine; the IMA Light is now off and the electric motor is assisting the gasoline engine once again. The AUTO idle STOP function is once again working and the check engine light has managed to remain off as well, and it's running like the day I bought it almost a year ago.
- 2004 Honda Insight with approximately 196,400 miles (as described in detail above).
- Original window sticker.
- All service records since I took ownership.
- Clean Title
- CARFAX report (from last year when I bought the car)
- Virginia State Safety Inspection Certificate (good through February 2014)
- Owner's Manual / Warranties Booklet / Quick Start Guide
- 2 Keys and 1 Remote

NHTSA Probes Nearly 400,000 Infiniti, Honda Vehicles Over Steering Faults
Tue, Nov 11 2014As many as 391,000 vehicles from Honda and Infiniti may eventually need to be recalled as a result of two, separately announced Preliminary Evaluations from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to ascertain the scope of the potential safety hazards. In one of the queries, NHTSA is looking into 24 reports from drivers of the 2013 Honda Accord who say they had total loss of their power steering or experienced a sudden increase in the necessary effort to turn the wheel. In four cases, the problem may be linked to crashes. According to the claims, 13 people reported seeing a warning message during the failure. Turning off the car and restarting it would fix the issue in some cases. If a recall is necessary, it could affect an estimated 374,000 Accords. The second investigation is much smaller in scope. The safety agency is investigating the 2008 Infiniti EX35 after two complaints of the steering wheel shaft separating and the vehicle losing the ability to steer. Both reports say the steering became loose when driving and then completely failed once the vehicle was stopped. A recall for the problem would affect an estimated 17,000 vehicles.

Honda demonstrates driverless valet parking system with special Fit EVs
Sat, 26 Oct 2013There are many challenges that will need to be sorted out before full autonomous driving becomes a reality, but automakers are taking small steps toward this advancement with semi-autonomous technologies. Nissan, Toyota and Ford have already revealed various automated driving systems, and now Honda is getting into the game with an automatic valet parking system that was unveiled recently at the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) World Congress in Tokyo.
Unlike Ford's recently demonstrated self-parking Focus, which is fully operational on its own, Honda's new system requires input from the parking lot via cameras. Combining information provided by the car's rearview camera as well as cameras positioned around the parking lot, drivers are able to drop their car off at a central location, and using a touchscreen display, the car can park itself and return when the driver is ready to leave. The benefit of this is that multiple cars can be parked at the same time and no additional sensors (other than a backup camera) are needed for the car, but the downside is that it can only operate on properly equipped parking lots. According to Honda's demonstration, this system can be practical by 2020.
Honda also showed off some semi-autonomous driving and non-contact electric vehicle recharging technologies at the ITS World Congress, although information is limited and there are no demonstrations available. Scroll down to read more about Honda's latest tech, including a video demonstration of the automatic valet parking system.
Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.
