Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2003 HONDA HYBRID WITH 65,000 MILES. THE IMA WARNING LIGHT WENT ON A FEW DAYS AGO AND THEY HAVE DETERMINED THE HYBRID BATTERY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE HONDA BATTERIES ARE NOT LIVING UP TO EXPECTATIONS AND COULD LEAD TO FAILURE IN OTHER AREAS (FAULTY STEERING DURING TURNS, ETC.) WHICH COULD POSE A SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, I WAS UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BATTERY LIFE WOULD OUTLIVE THE VEHICLE LIFE, AND FINDING IT TO BE UNTRUE. I AM HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED TODAY ON WARRANTY, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME IF IT IS A BETTER BATTERY OR HIGHER DEVELOPED BATTERY THAN WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY INSTALLED. SINCE I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY, I WANTED TO REPORT THIS TO YOU. SINCERELY, ROGER SOUCY *TR
