Engine light came on around 60,000 miles. Indicated cylinder 4 compression off. Eventually diagnosed as blown head gasket resulting in engine replacement costing over $4300. I was told there was an extended warranty on the 2017 and 2018 models but not the 2019 model year. I did purchase one of the first insights produced in the 2019 model year and wonder if I received an engine with the same issue as the 2018.

There were 2 recalls on my car and both have been serviced. But I keep having issues with a whole host of sensors including check engine light that lights up every week and the car is practically unusable. When the check engine and other lights/sensors trigger, the gas pedal is practically useless and cannot accelerate the car. This is a big problem when I'm on the road and might lead to catastrophic accident. I have taken my car several times to have it checked and I'm still having issues. Of late I keep hearing a whole lot of fan that are whirling and I could feel heat inside the car even when a/c is on. I have a feeling that this car has serious cooling issues and I'm feel unsafe driving this car. I would appreciate your help in this regard.

Fuel pump replaced in 10/2020 for recall 20v314000. In 1/2021 I was passing a vehicle on the interstate when the check engine light started flashing, the vehicle started bucking, and I lost acceleration. After shutting off the car for a few minutes I was able to continue driving at interstate speeds. A local shop read the code and reported a misfire on cylinders 3 and 4. Honda technicians couldn't recreate the issue or view any code history, but during a test drive found that the fuel gauge had stopped functioning. Upon inspection of the previously replaced fuel pump it was discovered that the wires were crumbling. The fuel pump installed during a recall caused the exact issue it was supposed to avoid. The service advisor quoted someone at honda as saying they've seen a few of these issues come back after the initial recall.
