MY SON STARTED TO TURN OUT OF A PARKING LOT, ACCELERATING NORMALLY. CAR RESPONDED BY ACCELERATING MASSIVELY --THE RPMS SHOT UP TO THE MAX (7) AND HE HEARD IT STUTTER AGAINST THE TOP OF THE DIAL. HE TRIED TO COMPLETE THE TURN, BUT SKIDDED INTO A POLE, WHICH CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. CAR CONTINUED TO RACE FULL SPEED AS IT BOUNCED OVER A PARKING CURB BACK INTO THE LOT. FINALLY THE CAR STOPPED WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER RECEIVING A SOFTWARE UPDATE THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND TAKE LONGER TO ACCELERATE UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.
MY CIVIC HYBRID BATTERY HAS BEEN DECLINING IN POWER FOR ABOUT THE LAST 2 YEARS, MOST LIKELY DUE TO A FAILING HYBRID BATTERY THAT HONDA REFUSES TO REPLACE. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY HYBRID BATTER WILL FAIL TO PROVIDE ANY ASSIST DURING ACCELERATIONS. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK AS THE SYSTEM SUDDENLY NOTICES THE BATTERY HAS NO CHARGE (IT INSTANTLY GOES FROM ABOUT 1/2 THE BARS OF CHARGE TO JUST 1). THIS HAS HAPPENED AT A CRITICAL MOMENT WHEN I NEED POWER TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC AND I NEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ONE NORMALLY EXPECTS A CONSISTENT AMOUNT OF POWER WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, AND IMAGINE WHAT HARM CAN OCCUR IF SUDDENLY A SUBSTANTIALLY LESS MOUNT OF POWER IS DELIVERED WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHATSOEVER. *TR
