I HAVE A HONDA CIVIC HYBRID 2006, LAST DAYS I HAVE MY IMA LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME UP, I WENT O THE DEALER O'HARE HONDA AND THEY REFUSED ME TO DO THE A RECALL UPDATE TO THE SOFTWARE AND FIX MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IMA LIGHT THAT IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRIC ENGINE WITH BATTERY. I WILL MENTION THAT THE WARRANTY BOOK SAYS THAT THEY NEED TO FIX THESE ISSUES UNDER A FEDERAL LAW 8/80K BUT THEY TREAT ME BAD AND NOT EVEN OPEN TO DISCUSS. WHEN I ASKED TO TALK WITH SOMEBODY ELSE THEY OLD THAT NO MANAGER WAS FRIDAY AT 12 PM. I MENTION THAT MY WARRANTY WAS CANCELED AND CAR MILEAGE IS 78.000, I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR IS LOSSES POWER AND IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU TRY TO PASS ANOTHER CAR OR AN INTERSECTION WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN 5/8/2009 ON INTERSTATE 205 IN CALIFORNIA. MY ENGINE BEGAN MAKING LOUD METALLIC CLANKING SOUNDS AND THEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE LIQUID FLOWING UNDER THE CAR. MY CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE QUICKLY AND I FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. ONCE I WAS STOPPED ON THE SIDE THE METALLIC SOUND GOT LOUDER AND THE SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HOOD. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK HAD LEAKED COOLANT AND HAD CAUSED THE BLOCK TO CRACK. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE I FOUND OUT ABOUT TSB 08-044 A PROBLEM WHICH THE ENGINE BLOCK CRACKS AND COOLANT LEAKS FROM IT CAUSING OVERHEATING, AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER THERE ABOUT IT. HE WAS ORIGINALLY WANTING TO REPAIR IT FOR ME BUT WAS OVERULLED BY HIS REGIONAL MANAGER WHO SAID THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I WENT ON TO SEND COMPLAINTS HIGHER UP THE CHAIN AT HONDA BUT CONTINUED TO BE TOLD I WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME AND THAT IT WOULD END UP COSTING ME OVER $5000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I THEN ENDED UP HAVING TO GO TO A PRIVATE GARAGE AND ENDED UP SPENDING $2,878.53 IN 7/2009 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, PLUS $432.96 FOR A RENTAL CAR FOR ME TO DRIVE. I HAD RECENTLY CHECKED BACK TO SEE IF THEY HAD UPDATED THE TSB TO A RECALL BUT MORE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM, SO I WANTED TO ISSUE THIS TO SEE IF CAN BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

I HAVE ON '06 CIVIC HYBRID AND THE BATTERY IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. IT CRASHES OFTEN WHERE ONE SECOND IT SHOWS MORE THAN 1/2 CHARGE, AND THE NEXT THE ACCELERATION AND POWER IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE AND THE CHARGE LEVEL DROPS TO ZERO. NOT GOOD WHEN YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. HONDA HAS ISSUED A NOTICE TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE THAT BASICALLY COMPROMISE SAFETY, POWER AND FUEL ECONOMY SO HONDA CAN GET YOU THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLACE YOUR BATTERY. I FEAR THAT THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND POWER IS UNSAFE, AND THAT THE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CLAIMS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLY AN ATTEMPT BY HONDA TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF A FAULTY BATTERY BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR

AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS ONLY HOT AIR AFTER DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION. CULPRIT WAS FOUND TO BE A LEAKING SUCTION LINE, PROBABLY PUNCTURED BY ROAD DEBRIS DURING DRIVE. THE LOCATION OF THE SUCTION LINE IS IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR, WHICH IS NOT PROTECTED BY A MESH GRILL. DUE TO ITS LOCATION, SUCTION LINE IS EASILY DAMAGEABLE. HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE FREE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FAULT. THE DEALER FIXED THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING THE FRAGILE COPPER SUCTION LINE WITH A HEAVY DUTY RUBBER TUBE AND REDIRECTED IT BEHIND THE BUMPER INSTEAD OF IN FRONT OF THE RADIATOR. *TR
