“I was driving on a highway at 70mph when signs suchs as engine cooling system problem , emissions system problem started displaying on dashboard and speed was decreasing and I couldn't speed up. I pulled over to the shoulder and turned off the car and turned it back on and signs were gone. I drove home fine. I went to dealership and they stated nothing is wrong with the car.”

“I had purchased brand new Accord Hybrid 2015 in december 2015 and in january 2018 car battery is drained fully due to unknown reason. Last night , in -5f temperature my car broke on the road and I have seen worst in my life due to car issue on the road. I would appreciate , if you look into the quality of battery issue being placed in car from Honda and various dealers as it sounds sketchy to me. Even if I drove 45k miles battery should last longer on newer car compare older cars. I would appreciate , if you can look into it more closely.”

“Problem usually occurs during the day and when the weather is hot. Power system problem display comes on and engine service light as well. Turning the car off and on helps but the engine light stays on for another 24 hrs or so before turning off. The car felt like it lose gas engine power and operates electric only. I was going 65mph on the freeway, and when I try to step on the gas peddel, I can maintain that speed as long as the battery had enough power but the gas engine will not kick on. …”

I tapped the break and it seemed to work but I continued to coast down the shoulder of the highway until I ran out of momentum. I then turned my brand new Honda accord exl hybrid off and restarted the car. …”

“Vehicle stalled while driving on a highway with power system failure warning. I could not accelerate the car. I had to take the exit since I was luckily in the right lane and close to the exit. Car was running on battery only at around 30 MPH. I pulled out in the parking lot, turned off power and turned back on and was able to reach home. I took the car to the dealer, they could not diagnose the issue right away and asked me to leave the cardie to drivability issue. They called us back after 2 days and told us that they updated the software. I do not feel safe driving this car. …”
