MY HYBRID BATTERY IS OVERHEATING WHICH MY HYBRID BATTERY IS 7 YEARS OLD WITH ONLY 31,680 MILES ON IT AND ITS AFFECTING THE INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST AND THE MONITOR SCREEN WITH THE CONTROL GAUGES AND MY VEHICLES ACCELERATION AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT IT SHUTTING OFF AND LOCKING UP, I TALKED TO HONDA AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX IT EVEN THO OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HYBRID BATTERY AND IT SHOULD STILL BE COVERED BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ITS BE USED FOR AND HAS BEEN STORED AND HIGHLY TAKEN CARE OF, THE EPA CLASSIFIES HYBRID BATTERIES UNDER EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT, REQUIRING MANUFACTURERS TO WARRANTY THEM FOR EIGHT YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. SOME STATES, LIKE CALIFORNIA, REQUIRE EMISSIONS EQUIPMENT TO BE COVERED FOR TEN YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. IF THE BATTERY FAILS WITHIN WARRANTY RANGE, YOUR TOTAL REPLACEMENT COST IS ZERO.

I TOOK THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE SRS SYSTEM CHECKED BECAUSE THE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER DID A 40 POINT INSPECTION WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT DUE TO A "FAILURE" IN THE SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THE MOUNTS (FRONT, SIDE AND BACK) FAIL ON THE HONDA ODYSSEY'S (NEWER MODELS, OURS IS AN '03) OFTEN. THE RESULT OF MOTOR MOUNT FAILURE IS EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE ENGINE WHEN UNDER "LOAD." I WAS TOLD THAT MEANS THE ENGINE MOVES WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT DURING BRAKING, SHARP TURNS, BUMPS AND ACCELERATION. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT ONCE ONE MOTOR MOUNT "BREAKS" THE OTHERS HAVE MORE TENSION AND WILL ALSO FAIL. IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PART BE REPLACED BEFORE THE OTHER MOTOR MOUNTS FAIL AND CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS. THIS IS CURRENTLY NOT A RECALL OR FREE LIFETIME WARRANTY. OUR LOCAL HONDA MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS SHOULD NEVER FAIL (ESPECIALLY ON SUCH A NEW CAR). HE SAID MOTOR MOUNTS SHOULD OUTLAST THE ENGINE/CAR AND HE HAD NEVER IN ALL OF HIS EXPERIENCE SEEN A MOTOR MOUNT FAIL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT A STEADY 60MPH THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTED FROM 5TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATIONS OF ANY KIND. THIS ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAD THE RECALL REPAIR IN 2004 FOR A KNOWN TRANSMISSION FAULT BUT THIS HAS OBVIOUSLY NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THE INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES. *TR
