Battery drains off after car sets for a few days. Will start up normally but the battery looses charge as you drive even though the alternator is putting out charge. After you stop the car and turn it off it will not start again. Car stutters at stops due to low battery. Risk that the battery can fail and the car can lose power while being driven.

While I was diving on 1st October night, my dash light was suddenly turned off. In Honda Civic speedometer is digital, so it was turned off too. So I was driving without checking the speed. Later I took my car to a nearest Honda dealer to diagnose the problem but they refused to diagnose. I reported this problem, many times to Honda customer service but they didn't take any action so that the dealer can diagnose or fix the problem. Regarding this problem, I also wrote a mail to american Honda's CEO but got no reply till now. As a result I am driving this car with this problem and my life is at risk.

Honda Civic hybrid 2012 bought just after six days failed after doing a left turn. All warning lights lit from the dashboard. Restarted and was able to drive home but failed to start next day. Towed to the nearest Honda dealer. Service guy after calling Honda headquarters determine it was the ABS system that caused the failure. Still in the shop for repairs.
