Battery loses charge suddenly and power is significantly lost to the point where acceleration is not possible. This has created several unsafe driving condition in highway and expressway entrances, as I can not get in safely or maintain safe speed during driving. This incident has repeated many times in the past three years. Battery indicator drops to zero bar or one bar and power is lost significantly.

My 2006 Honda hybrid has a surge problem. I've smelled battery fluids before plus the ima drive shuts down under load (long-distance freeway driving) which causes multiple drivability issues. The vehicle does not come close to the advertised mpg levels while under normal driving conditions and I have also experienced an accident that I believe may have been surge instigated as this problem happens when depressing the brake pedal. When you depress the pedal the vehicle surges forward. I was parked and had just covered the brake after assessing the roadway when a woman hit me. She stated it was my fault but I had the brake on and my work partner saw something related to this on the televisions at a shell gas station relaying the information to me. I have not been able to acquire any other information about this vehicle and due to the fact I have paid (paying) 35 thousand dollars for this vehicle I feel Honda owes me an explanation at the very least. I never reported the defects as I was under the belief it was just my amplifier that was smelling but now I am unsure. I have had poor service from carson Honda in the past and am reluctant to use them in the future so if you can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you.
