IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS I'VE HAD TWO INSTANCES WHERE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A GREEN LIGHT AND HAD TO YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HOWEVER, WHEN THE NEXT ONCOMING VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE FAR ENOUGH AWAY AND AT A SAFE DISTANCE, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND MAKE THE TURN AND MY HYBRID SYSTEM A.K.A. HONDA'S IMA (INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST) WOULD RANDOMLY FAIL TO ENGAGE, LEAVING ME WITH ALMOST NO ACCELERATION POWER. IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING A LAWNMOWER. THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPORTIONATELY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE UPHILL IN DOWNTOWN TACOMA, WA AS IT STARTS ROLLING BACK EVEN WITH ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A SB-10051509-6014 ISSUED FOR MY SPECIFIC MODEL, WHICH IN EFFECT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY AND MY VIN FELL UNDER THE SPECIFIED CRITERIA, IT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO A SALVAGE BRANDED TITLE (A FACT I DIDN'T NOT NOTICE UNTIL AFTER I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM A PRIVATE PARTY). THIS ISN'T SIMPLY A WARRANTY ISSUE. THIS IS IN EFFECT A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION IN AN EMERGENCY. THE RISK IS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BY THE FACT THAT THE DRIVER MAKING THE LEFT TURN IS FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHICH IS COMING TOWARDS THE VEHICLE IN FULL SPEED. SHOULD A CHILD BE PRESENT IN THE REAR SEAT, IF THE DRIVER IS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE LEFT TURN AND VACATE THE INTERSECTION IN TIME, THE COLLISION COULD PROVE FATAL, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE HYBRID BATTERY PACK AND THE HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES ARE ALL CONNECTED RIGHT BEHIND THE REAR SEAT.

WE WERE TOLD MY THE HONDA DEALER INSPECTORS THAT THE CAR DIDN'T NEED TO FIX ANY THING, AND THAT IF THE CAR NEED IT ANY REPAIRS THE CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR IT. SINCE THE CAR HAD MORE THAN 100,000 MILES. BUT ON DECEMBER 16,2016 MY SON WAS DRIVING UNDER THE RAIN AND AS HE WAS SWITCHING LANES TO EXIST THE FREEWAY HIS CAR LOST CONTROL HIT A RAMP IN THE FREEWAY GOT A DAMAGE ON THE REAR BUMPER, BUT THE MOST SCARY PART IS THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT. INSTEAD ONLY THE DRIVER SIZE CAME OUT DID NOTHING TO SUPPORT HIS HEAD BECAUSE THE BAGS DID NOT DEFLATE AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT. THE OTHER DEFECT WAS THAT HIS SEAT WHICH WAS THE DRIVER SIT WAS RIPPED FROM THE SIDE AND AGAIN THE AIR BAD DIDN'T DEFLATED . THE DAMAGE ON OUR VEHICLE WAS SO SEVERE FROM THE INSIDE THAT THE INSURANCE HAS DECLARED THIS CAR AS A TOTAL LOST. *TR

ON 8-14-15 NOTICED RIGHT HEADLIGHT OUT; MAY HAVE BEEN OUT BEFORE THAT. SHOP REPLACED IT ON 8-14-15. IT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NOTICED IT ONLY LATER AGAIN. WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO SHOP 3/14/16; NO TICKET WAS DONE. HONDA GUY PUT HAND BEHIND LIGHT AND SAID "THE CONNECTOR WASN'T TURNED ALL THE WAY." LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS. AFTER TALKING TO MANAGER, DROPPED IT OFF 5/23/16, MANAGER ARRIVED LATER; HE AND OTHER STAFF DENIED LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN THEY TOOK THE CAR. THE LIGHT WAS BACK ON (THEY MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING.) THE LIGHT STAYED ON ONLY FOR ONE DAY. NEXT DAY LIGHT WAS OUT AGAIN. ONCE IT'S OUT, IT STAYS OUT UNTIL A WORKMAN DOES SOMETHING TO BRING IT BACK ON. WITHOUT THIS LIGHT, I CAN'T PASS STATE INSPECTION; MOREOVER, IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON RAINY DAYS OR AT NIGHT BECAUSE CARS DON'T SEE THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. HONDA PUT THE LIGHT ON AND MADE ME PASS THE INSPECTION, BUT THEIR REMEDY IS ONLY TEMPORARY.WHY DOESN'T HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM? WHY DO THEY TELL ME IT'S BEEN ON WHEN THEY GOT THE CAR, WHEN I KNOW IT'S BEEN OUT? I DO NOT WANT TO RETURN TO THE SHOP IF ALL THEY DO IS LIE AND NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I NEED TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE 2007 RECALL ON CIVIC HYBRIDS FOR "DC-DC CONVERTER DIODE". THIS FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF, AMONG OTHER MORE RISKY THINGS, AS THE PROBLEM DEVELOPS. I DID NOT ASK THEM ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL, BUT HONDA DENIED THAT THERE IS ANY RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION. PERHAPS THEY DO NOT WANT TO GO THROUGH THE TROUBLE OF REPLACING THE VOLTAGE CONVERTER FREE OF CHARGE. OTHER LIGHTS HAVE BEEN GOING OUT AND BEEN REPLACED REPEATEDLY SINCE AUG. 2015, AS MY RECEIPTS SHOW. BUT THIS HEADLIGHT IS NOT STAYING ON WHEN THEY PUT IT ON. ON 5-23-16 WHEN THEY LAST TURNED THE HEADLIGHT BACK ON, I DROVE IT ALL DAY AND IT WAS ON. BUT ON ANOTHER DAY, NOT SURE WHEN, IT WAS OUT AND HAS STAYED OUT.

ERRACTIC POWER ON STARTING FROM A STOP. THE IMA SYSTEM SAYS IT HAS ASSIST POWER BUT THE CAR STARTS MOVING "VERY" SLOWLY AND THEN DRAINS THE IMA LIGHTS DOWN TO NOTHING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE SLOWLY FOR A WHILE UNTIL THE GASOLINE ENGINE STARTS TO TO TAKE EFFECT AND GETTING UP TO SPEED, VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. AT OTHER TIMES THE IMS INDICATOR IS ERRATIC ON THE DASH BUT THE SYSTEM IS OKAY. THE LIGHTS WILL BE FULL UP AND SUDDENLY DROP TO NOTHING AND A FEW MINUTES LATER IT'S FULL AGAIN. I HAD JOE MORGAN HONDA CHECK IT OUT AND THEY EVEN ROAD TESTED IT WITH INSTRUMENTS ATTACHED AND IT CHECKED OUT OKAY (QUOTE FROM TYLER THE SERVICE REP. OF JOE MORGAN - 10-13-2015). ALL EXPERIENCES WERE ON FLAT GROUND DRY PAVEMENT AND GOOD CONDITIONS. THERE WERE CONDITIONS WHEN I EXPERIENCED THE SLOW ACCELERATION ON A GRADE (SMALL LIKE 5-15% MAYBE) AND THE RESULTS WERE EVEN WORSE.

THE REAR AXLE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AT SPEEDS OF (50-55 MPH). TIRES ARE VERY BADLY CUPPED IN THE REAR, DESPITE BEING RELATIVELY NEW. CUPPED TIRES CAUSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN DRIVING. THE CAR SEEMS UNSTABLE ON TIGHT TURNS, AS WELL AS HIGH SPEEDS. TIRE CUPPING HAPPENED DESPITE HAVING NEW TIRES AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT DONE WHEN THEY WERE PUT IN. THIS IS A PROBLEM OF EVERY HONDA CIVIC 06-08 OWNER I HAVE ENCOUNTERED, AND THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE ON ONLINE FORUMS TO CONFIRM THIS INFORMATION. HONDA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THE REAR CAMBER ARMS OF THE CIVIC 07, AS THEY CAUSE DANGEROUS PREMATURE TIRE WEAR THAT MAY CAUSE, OR IN THE LEAST CONTRIBUTE TO, INJURY OR DEATH.

I WAS IN THE FIFTH HOUR OF A SIX HOUR LONG ROAD TRIP (WARM DAY, A/C ON, IPHONE PLUGGED INTO CONSOLE FOR AN AUDIO BOOK), WHEN I HIT STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SHORTLY AFTER THE STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BEGAN, MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID STOPPED BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. TRAFFIC AHEAD OF ME WOULD MOVE, MY CAR WOULD NOT RESPOND NORMALLY, BUT ONLY VERY, VERY SLOWLY GATHER SPEED -- VERY TRICKY AND DANGEROUS WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS STOP AND GO. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS CAR HAS DONE THIS, TWICE IN THE SAME SITUATION (LONG CAR DRIVE, WARM/HOT DAY, VERY BAD STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL USE, A/C ON AND DVD'S OR SOMETHING PLUGGED IN.) WHEN YOU ARE ON THE FREEWAY, CROSSING A BRIDGE -- AS I WAS IN BOTH CASES (GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE ON MEMORIAL DAY AND BAY BRIDGE YESTERDAY, START OF SPRING BREAK) -- IT IS SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE YOUR CAR RESPOND OR BE ABLE TO MOVE / ACCELERATE. YESTERDAY, TO SEE IF IT WOULD HELP, I TOOK A CHANCE AND TURNED THE ENGINE ON AND OFF AGAIN, IN THE MIDDLE OF 7 LANES OF STOPPED BRIDGE TRAFFIC, AND THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING FAIRLY NORMALLY, WELL ENOUGH TO GET OVER THE BRIDGE. SECOND TIME, A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY CAR SIMPLY WOULDN'T BUDGE ON THE STEEP HILL I DRIVE UP EVERY DAY AFTER A CAR CAME TO A FULL STOP IN FRONT OF US, MY HONDA COULD BARELY GET UP THE HILL, THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE NORMALLY ON THE FLAT BLOCK TO MY HOUSE, WHEN I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HONDA NEXT DAY, THEY SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. AFTER THE FIRST MEMORIAL DAY BRIDGE INCIDENT THEY SAID MY CAR NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH THEY SAID THEY PROVIDED, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE NOW. I ONLY HAVE 42,000 MILES ON MY 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. WHEN I TALK TO THE HONDA DEALER/MECHANIC THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A SIMILAR CASE TO THIS. *TR
