Consumer Description

THE CAR LOSES POWER UPON ACCELERATION AND GOING UP A HILL FROM A COMPLETE STANDSTILL. THE CAR AT TIMES CAN NOT CLIMB UP A HILL. THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS HONDA AND I WAS TOLD THAT "GIVEN THAT THERE WAS NOT A COMPUTER RECORD IN THE MEMORY THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM. ON THE FREEWAY THE ENGINE REVS UPON ACCELERATION WITHOUT ANY INCREASE IN SPEED. I THINK THE BATTERY ELECTRICAL ASSIST SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, HONDA ADDED A COMPUTER PATCH TO THE CAR THAT SLOWED DOWN THE ELECTRIC ENGINE ASSIST AND COMPRIMISED THE POWER AND ACCELERATION.
