I don't actually know when this started. It has been going on for quite some time. Sometimes when I start from a stopped position to enter traffic, even though I have the accelerator floor-boarded, the car barely responds. When I look, the hybrid charge is very low, but I may have just had the car out a short while before and the hybrid battery was fully charged. It seems as if I not only have no acceleration assist from the hybrid battery, but there is almost no power assist at all. I have not had an accident yet but fear it may happen, as I frequently have to pull out onto a very busy two lane road.
On or around 11/20/2011, the control panel on my 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid lost all power while driving on ih-10 w in houston, TX. As a result, I had no information about my speed, fuel level, rpm, etc. I believe this problem was related to my hybrid battery as it had to be replaced shortly thereafter. Currently, I am having trouble with the replacement hybrid battery and Honda is refusing to remedy the problem under the warranty. I am writing to the NHTSA implore it to take a closer look at issues with Honda's hybrid batteries. It is well known that these batteries are failing at a high rate and there are several class action lawsuits concerning the performance of these batteries. This problem is well known to Honda and something needs to be done as it is putting peoples' lives at risk.
