1 Car Stall problem of the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid

Failure Date: 10/15/2016

When driving at 50mph on a national highway 95s heading to philadelphia around 11am,the speed of the car suddenly reduce to 20mph and then stalled and stopped moving. I had to pull aside to check the engine. After some thirty minutes of rest,I had to return home with an idea of getting the car checked by the dealer. The dealer reorted of having no problem in the engine and I had to take the car back and running as carefully as possible without using for a long trip. I had some dents due to other driver with rash driving and hitting the car. I need to get the dents fixed as soon as the present winter season turns feasible for easy running.

6 Car Stall problem of the 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid

Failure Date: 01/17/2010

I currently am the lessee of a 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid starting this January, the hybrid battery charge level goes from almost full (8-10 out of 10 bars) to virtually zero (1 bar) every other week (the technical term for this is a "recall" or recalibrating). This summer, it started happening every 3-4 days, and whenever I had the a/c on. Then, it started to happen every 100 miles (which made it very predictable). The problem is that when in the 'recall' state, the car is almost unresponsive and does not accelerate much, if at all. This poses a safety hazard especially when making left turns when the oncoming traffic has a blind spot, or is coming around a corner. It also impacts fuel efficiency substantially. I have seen about a 7 mile-per-gallon drop in fuel economy. I took the car to the dealer who told me that there were no codes in the system but there were 3 software updates, so they installed those and that if I still had the problem, to come back. I still have the problem so I schedule the appointment and I take the mechanic for a test drive and he sees the charge drop rapidly and states that it's completely normal. I argue that is happens too often and he still says "it's fine. " about 3 weeks later the ima light and 'check engine' light come on. Turns out, it was a blown fuse (for the a/c electric drive, fuse #22) so they replace it, and tell me that they checked the current draw on the a/c just to be safe and claimed everything was fine. Now, about 2 weeks later, every time I start the car it does a recall. This is beyond annoying and now I'm starting to see drops of about 10 mpg because of this problem, as opposed to the previous 6 or 7. I'm thinking that Honda knows that their nimh battery cells are prone to premature failure and will not do anything to fix the issue.

7 Car Stall problem of the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

Failure Date: 08/01/2009

I have a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid which is experiencing ima system problems. According to Honda, everything is fine, but the battery won't hold much charge. In addition, Honda installed a software update to the car's computer that changes the way the engine is managed, using the ima system less and not allowing the battery charge to go below 1/2 charge. As a result, the ima system will only work (randomly) about half the time the car is running. So engine power will not be available at crucial times, I. E. Accelerating, pulling out at an intersection, etc. This makes the car unpredictable and unsafe. There are many Honda Civic Hybrid owners who are experiencing this same problem (as witnessed through online forums) and have received the same response from Honda, 'everything is operating normally'. Well, it's not.
