FLASHING IGNITION "IMMOBILIZER" LIGHT - SYSTEM CODE "C-1": WITH LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE, OR A DISCONNECTED OR "DEAD" BATTERY, VEHICLE CANNOT BE STARTED, EITHER BY "JUMP STARTING" OR REPLACING THE 12V CAR BATTERY. THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT, IN ALL "J VIN" CIVIC HYBRIDS, ON THE MICU BOARD LOCATED IN THE UNDER-DASH FUSE RELAY BOX. DEFECT RESULTS IN THE ELECTRONIC KEY CODES BEING LOST WITH LOW OR NO 12V IGNITION SYSTEM VOLTAGE. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER TO HAVE ALL KEYS (CAR COMES WITH 3 SETS OF KEYS) REPROGRAMMED TO THE IGNITION IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM. ONLY A HONDA DEALER CAN PERFORM THIS OPERATION. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, VEHICLE OPERATOR AND ANY PASSENGERS CAN BE LEFT STRANDED AND IN AN UNSAFE POSITION. THE ONLY REMEDY IS TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER, IF AVAILABLE, TO HAVE THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED. HONDA WILL NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER SERVICE PROVIDER TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION BECAUSE OF SECURITY AND VEHICLE THEFT CONCERNS. DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE IMMOBILIZER FAILURE, THIS CAN BE A LIFE THREATENING SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE OPERATOR, DEPENDING ON WHERE AND WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. IN ADDITION, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS REQUIRING THE VEHICLE BATTERY TO BE DISCONNECTED, WILL RESULT IN AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE AND REQUIRE THAT THE VEHICLE CAR KEYS BE REPROGRAMMED, SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY UNRELATED TO THE PLANNED MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR AND THE KEY REPROGRAMMING WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT ONLY A HONDA DEALER.

MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN DRIVING A 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID; AFTER ABOUT A MONTH AND HALF, EVERYTIME SHE FILLS UP THE GAS TANK. THERE'S A ORDER/SMELL OF GASOLINE. SOMETIME IN DECEMBER, WE TOOK THE CAR TO ELK GROVE HONDA FOR THE SMELL OF GASOLINE. ELK GROVE HONDA SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US; WE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK COSTING ABOUT $800.00. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH; THE NEW YORK TIMES REPORTED, ON 12-19-11 GAS LEAKS WITH 2006-2011 HONDA CIVIC HYBRIDS FUEL TANKS. HOWEVER, IN THE ARTICLE, HONDA IS NOT DOING A RECALL BUT EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY DAUGHTER'S CAR IS NOT TEN YEARS OLD BUT IS OVER THE 120,000 MILES AND NOW WE ARE SUBJECTED TO PAYING THE ENORMOUS $800.00 BILL TO FIX, THE ACKNOWLEDGED HONDA PROBLEM. HOW CAN WE GET HONDA TO PAY FOR THE LEAKING FUEL AND HAVE MY DAUGHTER DRIVE A SAFE CARE? *TR

THE IMA (HYBRID BATTERY) SYSTEM IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID HAS RECENTLY SUFFERED SEVERAL FAILURES RESULTING IN NEAR LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL. IN THE MOST SERIOUS INSTANCES, THE "CHARGE" INDICATED FOR THE IMA BATTERY WILL SUDDENLY DROP (FROM A THREE-QUARTERS OR HALF-CHARGE TO NO CHARGE) IN A FEW SECONDS WHILE ACCELERATING INTRO TRAFFIC (FROM AUTO STOP) RESULTING IN AN MARKED, SUDDEN DECREASE IN ACCELERATION. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREDICT WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN -- AND IT HAS ALREADY RESULTING IN 2 NEAR ACCIDENTS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE HAVE REPROGRAMMED THE IMA SYSTEM (PURSUANT TO SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS) TO NO AVAIL. THEY HAVE ALSO NOTED THAT THE IMA SYSTEM CURRENTLY INDICATES CODE P047F (HIGH VOLTAGE BATTERY DETERIORATION), BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE THE IMA BATTERY EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND COVERED UNDER THE 9-YEAR, 92000 MILE WARRANTY EXTENSION AGREED TO BY HONDA IN THE RECENT JOHN TRUE ET AL. V. AMERICAN HONDA CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE DEFECTS IN THE IMA SYSTEM IN THE 2006 (AND OTHER) HONDA CIVIC HYBRID MODELS CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH DUE TO UNANTICIPATED LOSS OF POWER AND/OR CONTROL. *TR

THE PERFORMANCE AFTER A STOP WAS VERY POOR AND THE PICK UP LAGGING SERIOUSLY BEHIND THE ENGINE. THE "PATCH" DID NOT WORK, IT MADE MATTERS WORSE. I AM NOW FACED WITH THE LARGE EXPENSE OF HAVING TO REPLACE THIS BATTERY. BEYOND THE EXPENSE IS THE SAFETY ISSUE OF NOT HAVING THE POWER TO ACCELERATE BECAUSE THE "PATCH" ADJUSTED THE IMA SYSTEM POORLY .. *TR
