Consumer Description

I OWN A 2009 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH LOW POWER AND HALTING ACCELERATION DUE TO LOW BATTERY CONDITIONS ACCOMPANIED WITH THE DASH ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. HONDA DEALERSHIP HAS APPLIED SOFTWARE UPDATES TO MY VEHICLE TO ADDRESS THIS TWICE, BUT THOSE SIMPLY TRADE MILEAGE FOR BATTERY LIFE, DEGRADING THE VALUE OF A HYBRID. I BELIEVE THAT THE IMA BATTERY HAS KNOWN PROBLEMS AND THAT HONDA IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. I'M AFRAID TO MERGE ONTO HIGHWAYS WITH A LOW BATTERY DUE TO THE LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION. *TR
