I received the same engine light warnings and took vehicle to my local Honda dealer who replaced the battery; haven't had any problems since.

I live in PA and have had my plug-in since Mar. 03 and never got below 12 and as high as 16.

I've had the engine system orange light go on three different times. I took it to the dealer late in the afternoon and was told I could bring it in the next morning when the light went out. I left in anyway one time and was told they weren't able to see anything wrong after they looked in the log.

I had a $1500.00 markup Mar. 03 which I thought was outrageous. I've seen a couple posts stating that they purchased their plug-in below list price. If you could manage the Tesla, I'd go for it.

I live right outside of Wilkes-Barre, PA and don't have much confidence in local dealers knowledge of accord hybrids at this time.

The Honda Dealer near my home does not sell Accord Plug-ins and mine is the only one the service department has seen, therefore, they don't appear to know much about the plug-ins. My first servicing will be due soon and my question is are there differences on how the accord plug-ins are...

Is the 2014 Accord PHEV designated as one of the compliance cars which is why 1100 have only been designated to be built in the next two years?

I find the L2 charger very useful because it re-charges mine in 25 minutes and on the weekend when I have several tasks and returning to my home, I can manage to go total EV on the weekend too. I only live four miles from all my shopping and work.

Yes, it's the range after charge is complete. I haven't check it, but it appears pretty accurate. Another factor with dirving mileage variance is how you accelerate and if your going uphill; both of which drains the battery significantly more.

I've had mine for 4.5 months now and using a 240v charger. Ideal temperature I understand is at 72 degrees and I've seen the charges from 12.3 to 15.6 at 40 to 86 degrees. This morning at 82 degrees, it charged to 14.3.

I just read the sales report for the Accord PHEV for June. After driving the car for four months, it's a mystery to me that they have only sold 200 in five and a half months despite only being available in California and New York. Honda is not shipping enough or the price is scarying some...

Is there a temperature gauge on the Accord PHEV or does it have a dummy light that comes on when it's running too hot?

I drove about 100 miles yesterday all hybrid mode; 30 miles city, 70 highway and got 49MPG. On the way back I used 12.5 in EV and the remaining hybrid and got 53.3 MPG; both ways on the highway I was doing 70MPH with the airconditioning on.

I had the break light display go on and off a couple of times but never a coolant system display.

I purchased an Accord PHEV on Mar. 03.. The trunk is a negative aspect you have to accept; I can fit a large cooler but not much else in it. I received a call to get an audio/navigation update after going for the update I was told they didn't have the necessary software for the update.
