The warning system reading ( fcw and ldw cannot operate to hot ).

Equipment problem #2

My Honday Accord Hybrid does not come with a spare tire. It just comes with a sealing kit to temporarily repair the flat tire. On may 30th I was driving locally and got a flat tire. I tried the sealing kit according to its instruction, it did not do anything and I had to have my car towed away. The fact that the repair kit did not work at the time of need is one issue. My main issue is not that, it's the fact that this car does not have a spare tire and I don't feel safe driving it out of town. What would happen if I was travelling out of state, and had a flat tire, I could be stranded in the middle of no where. On June 14 I wrote a letter to Honda corporation and requested that they provide me with a compact spare tire that I can carry in my car trunk. They called me back and informed me that Honda will not provide me with a spare tire. I researched online and it seems like other owners of Honda hybrid have same concern and they don't feel safe driving this car either. In any case I believe that this is a safety issue that has to be addressed. Thank you.

Equipment problem #3

I can't see clear image any object behind me because the rear windshield are waviness or curving around, steamy seems like you driving in a real hot desert area. I am worry about my safety because is hybrid car easy catch on fire and rear windshield are right above the huge pack of battery! the service manager of Honda checked & said every Accord Hybrid is like that on the windshield but not on regular gas accord. Honda can't change it because it might be the design of the hybrid.

Equipment problem #4

The car will will randomly lose connection with the key less remote. This happened a dozen times and the dealership has been unable to fix the issue. This occurs most often when the car is on and stopped and the passenger gets out of the car; however, the car also lost connection with the key less remote while driving through the city.
