| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My 2006 honda hybrid has a surge problem. i've smelled battery fluids before plus the ima drive shuts down under load (long-distance freeway driving) which causes multiple drivability issues. the vehicle does not come close to the advertised mpg levels while under normal driving conditions and i have also experienced an accident that i believe may have been surge instigated as this problem happens when depressing the brake pedal. when you depress the pedal the vehicle surges forward. i was parked and had just covered the brake after assessing the roadway when a woman hit me. she stated it was my fault but i had the brake on and my work partner saw something related to this on the televisions at a shell gas station relaying the information to me. i have not been able to acquire any other information about this vehicle and due to the fact i have paid (paying) 35 thousand dollars for this vehicle i feel honda owes me an explanation at the very least. i never reported the defects as i was under the belief it was just my amplifier that was smelling but now i am unsure. i have had poor service from carson honda in the past and am reluctant to use them in the future so if you can help me, i would appreciate it. thank you. *jb |
