My 2000 Insight has 30K miles on it, under the 36K warranty cut off but over the 3 year cut off by only 4 months (made in 12/00), so technically I'm out of warranty by 4 months.
I've called my local dealer and asked if the window run channels (both very slow to go up) can be repaired under warranty since it's so close, I'm under 36K miles, and it's a well documented problem with the 2000. The service manager said they'll need to look at the car and then ask Honda if it can be covered or what they'd be willing to do.
I'm also awaiting the parts for the headlight recall and will have them do everything at once if the parts ever come in.
What I'd like to know is does anyone have any advice or comments for getting this covered? I've also discovered the wet seat belt problem, but haven't mentioned that to them yet but I'm hoping they'll cover that too.
If they don't cover it I'll likely end up buying the extended warranty for the car for about $1100 for 10 years/100,000 miles since the cost of these repairs will likely be half of that anyway.
Any advice?
