Consumer Description

HONDA'S SOFTWARE REFLASH OF THE IMA SYSTEM IN 2010 HAS CAUSED MY CAR TO OPERATE ERRATICALLY. THE HYBRID BATTERY IS OFTEN COMPLETELY UNAVAILABLE TO ASSIST THE REGULAR MOTOR WHEN NEEDED TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE INTO HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC, TO PASS OTHER VEHICLES, OR TO AVOID COLLISIONS. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE CAR SOMETIMES HESITATES TO START MOVING, STUTTERS, JERKS OR LURCHES. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE MORE THAN 29 MPG SINCE THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, APPROXIMATELY 10 MPG LESS THAN I WAS GETTING BEFORE THE UPDATE. CALIFORNIA SMALL CLAIMS COURT AWARDED ME $9,867.19 AGAINST HONDA - SEE WWW.DONTSETTLEWITHHONDA.ORG FOR 26 PAGE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT. **03/01/2012 BF *TR
