| The hybrid battery and charging system is not working properly. it is constantly fluctuating. this is after the various software updates. i have also seen a significant drop in mpg by more than 20% this is since the software updates and the ima system not working correctly. i have reviewed the 49 other complaints showing in the nhtsa system and all but 3 refer to the same or similar problems which i'm encountering. the other interesting fact is that unless the ima light comes on honda appears to be refusing to take action. it is curious that in a number of the cases the light came on honda did their software update and then the light doesn't seem to come on any longer even though individuals continue to report the same issues, just no light, coincidence i think not, its amazing what a few tweaks in software code can accomplish to reduce honda's liability an keep the ima system light from coming on. it is my hope that someone at nhtsa will actually read these complaints and follow up. it is also my hope that something will get done by nhtsa before all of our warranties of 8 years or 80,000 miles expire and honda says that a replace battery is our cost not theirs because they were able to drag this out. they have designed a bad system and they are taking actions to avoid having to do anything about it!!!!!!!!! *tr | |||
