Just got my seat replaced coz of the stupid "knocking" sensation felt at the back of the seat. Warranty claimed took 1.5 weeks. Got it fixed within 5 hours. Well, sent the car to the SC 10am, got it back 3pm.

The problem is the white PLASTIC thing shown on this pic, (for those who wanna know how the inside of the seat looks like). According to the Service manager, this is the only seat so far for Honda, which comes with the white supportive part as PLASTIC, instead of Metal. So he's looking at many warranty claims to come later in the future, he also say headache when he saw the part made of plastic instead of metal.

So yeah, this is part and parcel of Honda trying to reduce costs.... (or trying to make the car lighter) by putting in plastic supportive back seats. (or watever they call it). He say "heavy" people will tend to come back more for this seat warranty -.- . Or some ppl having certain "activities" in their cars. haha.
Honda if you're reading this, pls recall the seats!

omg...so with the new warranty...is the seat material still the same? made from plastic? How much does i cost ?

Mr. Brian - the SC Manager ?   

So they still replace with PLASTIC part? if plastic wont the problem will came back later? Honda should recall la this seat.

BTW i think i can get my car by end of this week. Or by end of this month. whatever...

now i prefer silver    black goin to kill me   
btw, receive modulo visor from "shorty"  and honda toys touchlight 

Actually, both the front seats are the same design, just a matter of time, when the seat gonna make noise and start knocking u.
I went to MH Prestige, Bdr Sri Dsara, Kepong. Just look for the service advisor there, tell them your problem, and ask for a new seat warranty claim.

Guys I need help:
I took my insight to the guys on the lowyat forum with to smoke the headlamp.
I noticed after doing the smoked headlamp that when I turn on the lights the lens looked quite dirty (the halogen lamp) to my horror there are scratches on the lens on the inside.  Now I don't know what to do.  My options are
1. buy a whole new set of honda insight headlamps which will cost a bomb and not sure where to buy only found some on ebay for rm1300
2. try to find some place that can get rid of the scratches inside the lens
3. upgrade to eagle eye lights but the problem is they are not even out for honda insight
Please help help help

Maybe you are referring to the main frame for both passenger and driver are the same because if i remember correctly, driver side got adjustable height thing which passenger side don't.

Can't they just replace the plastic piece instead of the entire frame?

The RM2k++ is for the entire complete seat right?

Do you mind to share the picture of broken part?

i compare to honda accord... but the aircond is batter than proton..

ive read the manual n econ button makes all power reduce to 10% for green tech... mybe it cause the aircond bit lame... haha.. but its very jimat minyak ron97.. drive to taiping only need isi 1time only...

the fuel is even better then myvi...this is impressive

not just better, but excellant than myvi...     

Yes I was referring to the mainframe of the seats being same.
As both seats have the same plastic back support and design.

Yeah , RM2K++ is for the entire seat. No parts separately sold as the seat is from Japan. So if order have to order the whole thing, well thats what I was told la, as I enquired if they would replace the faulty part inside, or would they replace the whole seat. They gave me the whole seat at the end.

Sorry do not have a close up picture of the faulty part, but the picture I took was the faulty chair.

These really crack me up     

...you will hear some noise if you do it from the back side

Guys, side topic, by getting the speedo green all the time can get >20km/l? My typical fuel consumption is around 18-19km/l, if go highway can only get 20-21km/l. Saw some of the forumers got till 23-24lm/l. How la?

Currently using shell ron 95. Anyone has compared with other fuel types?

not just better, but excellant than myvi...     

but i read from other forum that Myvi and Persona FC is better than Insight FC    haha

btw, i have just ordered boot tray from sumber auto 

Hi, worrying to hear and see such things happening.... what were your loads for the back seats then?
Just normal ~70kg to and fro?

If new car of 3 months, start having this problem... imagine, changing the seats every 3 months

Did you make an official complain to them or not? If they're just replacing a problematic part with another faulty in design part......

haha.. sound so wrong huh..  bang and hard knock during at nite on the front seat before warranty is up..? OMG..
