Consumer Description

HONDA DID A RECALL ON THE SOFTWARE, SUPPOSEDLY TO SAVE THE HYBRID BATTERIES FOR EARLY FAILURE. AFTER THE CHANGE THE CAR EXPERIENCED LES MILES PER GALLON GAS EFFICIENCY, AND WORSE, THE CAR'S ACCELERATION WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. NOW WHEN I TRY TO ENTER A FREEWAY I FEEL I AM TAKING MY LIFE IN MY OWN HAND. IT IS DIFFICULT TO GET UP TO SPEED QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MATCH TRAFFIC. ALSO WHEN I TRY TO CROSS TRAFFIC LANES FROM A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT I AM FEARFUL THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO GET ACROSS. I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE, I FELT IT WAS SAFER! *TR
