IMA Warranty Extension ????

flemingljr · 10-13-2007, 05:28 PM

My dealer just informed me that the 2000 Honda Insight IMA Warranty was extended to 10 years / 150000 miles. Do I have to apply to get this through honda, or am I automatically covered? I live in Florida which is one of the states.

You need do nothing out of the ordinary, you're covered...

that's good news!!! I take it this warranty still applies, even though I'm on my 2nd battery?

I think it only covers the first battery replacement.

I got a new battery last month. Before i left the dealer I was handed a new warrenty. 8 years or 150,000 miles. I am left to beleave that each battery comes with it's own warrenty.

looks like I need to call Honda to see if they warranty the second battery.

I thought I remember reading somewhere that it is something low like 1 year / 12,000 miles for the warranty of the second battery. But that was when the warranty period was 8 yr / 80,000 miles.

Frisch41: I think Honda made a mistake on your paperwork (unless you have very low miles on your car)...The warranty was 8/80 but now it has been extended to 10/150 ... Usually, a replacement part has a limited warranty or comes with the original warranty minus the years / mileage that you already used.

I called the service desk at Honda and asked if they had made a mistake on my paper work. I read off what you had said here. He said that the paper work that I have is right.

I then asked about the warrenty that I got when I got the car and he said that it covered the rest of the car,not the battery.

I do have low millage on the car. It's at 69,000 miles right now.

I was in the dealership this morning to pick up some parts so I stopped by the service department to see if there were any open recalls as I just purchased my 2000 insight last week. He informed me that there were no open recalls but there was a IMA warranty extension notice that extended the warranty to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whatever comes first) and that you do not need to do anything to be covered.

The Honda dealer by me, here in Michigan, states that he double checked, and the IMA warranty is 8/80. So.....
How can I show proof to the dealership, that the IMA warranty has been extended to all states in the USA, to 10 years / 150,000? Forum posts have convinced me, but that isn't going to cut it for the Honda dealer. Anyone have a url of some official Honda bulletin?
