Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE IMA BATTERY WAS REPLACED AT CURRY HONDA IN CHICOPEE, MA IN 2014. AS CONSUMER REPORTS REPORTED IN 2014 THE IMA BATTERIES ARE VERY UNRELIABLE. MY IMA BATTERY RECENTLY WENT BAD AGAIN AND NOW HONDA IS SAYING IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. FULL DISCLOSURE THE CAR HAS A SALVAGE TITLE. THIS DID NOT MATTER IN 2014 WHEN IT WAS FIRST REPLACED. UPON FURTHER INVERTIGATION I SEE THE WARRANTY ON THE BATTERY IS NOW 11 YEARS OR 162.000 MILES. MY CAR HAS UNDER 130,000 MILES AND IS LESS THAN 11 YEARS OLD. ALSO THE IMA BATTERY IS LISTED UNDER THE EMISSION SYSTEM AND SHOULD BE COVERED FOR SAFETY ISSUES. HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2012/SB-10051509-6014.PDF
