What kind of repair did your dealer do to your car? There are a couple of forum posts describing a software/hardware fix for the plug in hybrid. http://www.myaccordplugin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=156 http://www.myaccordplugin.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=140 It's possible this resolves...

Yeh and I've been watching green sticker count go up rapidly too. Only ~11,000 left before the DMV will stop issuing them. Mostly likely it will happen sometime this year.

Hey all, I have a black one. I've been driving either the 405, 605, or 5 every morning. I've also been unlucky enough to have pulled over to the side on every freeway at least once because of the car has flawed software problems.

Software update seems to have fixed my car problem. The biggest notable change: my car starts using the gas engine only at around 45+mph instead of 65+mph. In theory, that means I'm using more gas and barely in hybrid mode while traveling at freeway speeds. But safety over fuel economy I guess...

Absolutely true! One week after I bought my plug-in hybrid, I had to get it serviced already for serious issue that caused the car to lose power while on the freeway (see other forum posts for similar reported experiences). The Honda dealer where I originally bought my car was completely...

jpiu and imaki, I also just bought the same car 1 week ago and had the same issue happen everyday. Seems to happen while in HV mode or when the car is using both the gas engine and battery for movement. Randomly the car revs very high and loud for at least a minute. Feels like I'm losing power...
