One problem related to engine belts and pulleys has been reported for the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
In 2006 the car was jolting when you took off or were traveling at low speeds. The dealership burnished the starter clutch/engine and the problem went away. Now in 2012 the problem has begun again and reading through blogs and posts is seems there may be a design change in the transmission from plastic belts to metal. . . So if this fixes the problem, then my older model should be retrofit to repair the faulty issue.
