Consumer Description

AS I AM DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE ROAD, WITH HIGH TRAFFIC, MY ENGINE AND BATTERY LIGHTS COME ON. THE CAR SEEMS SLUGGISH. I NOTICE THAT THE IMA HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING AT ITS NORMAL PACE. THIS MADE IT DANGEROUS FOR ME TO MANEUVER IN TRAFFIC. I JUST PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST AUTO PLACE I COULD FIND. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A NEW HYBRID BATTERY. SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT WITH ITS UNPREDICTABLE STATE I GOT ON LINE AND SEE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VOLTAGE CONVERTER. NOW I NEED TO GET IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP, PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT, AND SEE IF HONDA WILL COVER THE COST OF A NEW BATTERY. I WILL PROBABLY GET IT TOWED THERE SINCE I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT NOW.
