In owners' own words
My Honda Civic Hybrid 2007 has a recall and Honda will not honor the recall and keeps telling me that no it does not have a recall on it, I am misunderstanding what I am reading. This particular person keeps telling me he cannot do anything until Honda says to do it and they are not telling him to do this.My ima light came on and I need this fixed. I don't have the 5-6 thousand to fix it myself. Thank you. Electrical system · reported at 146,000 miles

Bought 2007 civic Honda hybrid on feb2,2007. I was told 50 miles/gallon,but it averages only 34 miles/gallon. A sign showed up 'imr' on the panel,took the vehicle to dealer. He told imr battery needs to be replaced and will cost me $2800.00. Car is only 5 years old. I feel it`s a rip off by Honda. They should compensate. Electrical system · reported at 88,000 miles
