The Honda warranty manual is confusing. If you look at the Hybrid System Warranty part of the manual it will say Hybrid components have a special warranty. Then in a separate column is says "see Emissions Warranties Parts List" for specific part warranty length. At first I thought this was a...

I don't think the hybrid battery pack ever gets prorated (not positive since it seems to be impossible to find the actual terms of the warranty. I think that would violate California law, and maybe others. The batteries are supposed to last at least 8 years, if it fails you get a new one.

Well, I got my car back and it seems pretty much like new again. Battery said it was getting 13.1 miles on first charge. After a few complete cycles its' now saying 14.3-14.6. And actually I just drove it today 15.1 miles purely on electric. So it's like I said it's pretty much like new...

Okay couldn't wait and had to take the car in today. That little "check engine" light and code POA75 made all the difference. Dropped the car off. Two hours later got a car from my service rep that the car needed a new battery and that it was under warranty. Said he assumed that I wanted it...

if you check out my other post, you'll started having limited battery life and weird battery charge status issues around the same time. However, for the previous year I barely used the gas engine at all. 8 mile commute to work... charger at work ... 8 mile commute home, stop at grocery store...

So my Hybrid batter is pretty much done. Bought my care in late 2016 for about 15K. Had the car for about a year and it was amazing. My office is 8 miles from my house and I have a charger there. Grocery stores and my kids' schools are around a mile from my house. Between charging at home...

Okay that problem turned out to be simple. I had 2 bad ignition coils on cylinders one and two. Bought myself a wifi OBD2 reader and found the errors. It was nice enough to tell me which cylinders were problematic. Honda wanted something like $20 per spark plug and $250 per ignition coil and...

I was driving on a local street and all of a sudden an Power System (or something like that) warning came on, accompanied by a thud! I could still drive at low speeds but it felt like driving over the warning bumps coming up to an old toll booth. The car seemed okay over 40mph, but it electric...

No this has nothing to do with a temperature drop. It happened overnight. And besides I was getting 16.1 Miles when fully charges. Now the display only says 14.2 or similar. And like I said after driving for a little while I lose about another mile in range over the course of tenth of a...

My battery have recently dropped in range. I'm getting on 10 or 11 miles. This happened overnight. I had been getting a full 15.5 miles or so. The weird thing is the suddenness and the way in which the range dropped. First of all, after a full charge I've only been seeing 13.8 or sometimes...
