DO NOT BUY A HONDA!!!! WARRANTY IS FALSE. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

IMA light came on and hybrid system was inop. Took to Dealer because warranty is 8 years 160000 km. They called and told me it needed 3 to 5 hours of diag. time. I told them to fix it because it was under warranty. They replied saying that I have to pay for diagnosis and Honda will pay for the part replaced. {What kind of warranty is that?} The labor rate is $100.00 per hour. I am a licensed technician so I asked for a firm quote not 3 to 5 hours. They could not give me a firm Quote so I took the car away and went on alldata.com to find repair. I removed the IMRC relay from the dist. box for a couple of hours and also disconnected the vehicle battery ( not the Hybrid Battery). This repaired the problem for a while, I cannot afford the high labor prices so I do everything myself.
