2007 Honda Civic Hybrid propulsion system Problems

“2007 Civic hybrid with 46000 mi, the ima btry is very weak, and Honda refuses to honor their 80000 mi warranty. For the 1st two years the mileage was 51.3 mpg. Now it has dropped to 39 - 42 mpg, and the ima battery rarely boosts the car during acceleration. This is dangerous when entering an interstate hwy, and even pulling out of my housing development onto the 45 MPH road beside us. Engine rarely stops when stopped at a traffic light, which it used to do all of the time. …”

“The ima system on my 2007 Honda Civic hybrid goes through what I call a discharge cycle mostly in warmer weather. This culminates in lose of all ima functions. I my case this lose is brief. It however make the operation of the vehicle erratic. Honda has made no real attempt to get to the bottom.of this problem. Honda should buy this vehicle back at full retail value since it will be difficult to sell. I my state if I pursued this in small claims court I could be entitled to three times the damage.”
