EVERY TIME I START MY HONDA CIVIC HYBRID FROM 2004 IT SHUDDERS. I HAVE SPENT MORE THEN THE VALUE OF THE CAR ON REPAIRS AND FLUID REPLACEMENTS WHICH HONDA DOES NOT DEEM NECESSARY TO PAY FOR. THIS CAR IS A DANGEROUS LEMON. IT SOMETIMES SHUDDERS GOING ONTO HIGHWAYS AND CAN EVEN JUST STOP BEFORE STARTING UP AGAIN. I HAVE HAD NEAR ACCIDENTS DOZENS OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY CAR. HONDA MADE A BAD CAR AND EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. EACH TIME THEY ISSUE A WARRANTY BONUS TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE WHOLE THING EITHER GETS WORSE OR SLIGHTLY BETTER FOR 1000 MILES. I FEEL LIKE I'M DEALING WITH A NO GOOD USED CAR SALESMEN TRYING TO BATE AND SWITCH A HYBRID. BUT THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT DIRECT FROM HONDA. THERE NEEDS TO BE ACCOUNTABILITY. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT ALL USERS OF 2003-04 HONDA'S WOULD BE A PART OF THIS CASE AS IT IS A PERVASIVE ISSUE AMONG THE MAJORITY OF HCH USERS. WE ARE ALL ANGRY, WE ALL ASKED HONDA FOR HELP AND WE GOT NO RESPONSE. WE ARE NOW LOOKING TO GOVERNMENTAL INTERVENTION. PLEASE HELP US AVOID ACCIDENTS, LEMON CARS, AND MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT. *TR
