2003 Honda Civic Hybrid W/ New Hybrid Battery--needs Work on 2040-cars
Brookfield, Connecticut, United States
2003 Honda Civic Hybrid
I hit a patch of ice and spun into a guardrail a week ago. The front end was damaged and the 2 front airbags deployed. The frame in the front needs to be straightened somewhat, but the front wheels and the suspension seem unaffected. The engine was not hit. The engine starts and runs fine with no check engine light. I have been running the engine every day to keep the engine and IMA battery healthy. It appears that with a little work on the frame in front the car could be fine. I just don't have time to work on this now. The car has a clean title and is ready for immediate purchase. (I didn't have collision insurance on this car so the insurance company never looked at it, and I didn't cancel the CT registration after the accident because I planned to fix it.) This car has a new IMA (hybrid) battery that was installed just over a year ago in the fall of 2012. The battery is still under warranty for almost 2 more years and the warranty is transferrable. Please see bumblebeebatteries.com for more info. I will also include a wiring harness to connect this battery to the Genesis One grid charger. The harness hasn't been installed yet but it's easy to do. The IMA battery and charging harness together cost about 2300. Other features of the car: JVC HD radio and CD player 5 speed manual transmission new seat covers and floor mats clean interior, no rips or stains good tires with lots of tread left new 12 volt battery installed just a month ago always very well maintained with regular oil changes there are video monitors and a CD / DVD player in the 2 headrests for entertainment in the back seat antenna for sirius satellite radio on the roof includes the official (green) Honda repair manual for this car which costs $100 the car gets great gas mileage--50 mpg on the highway if you drive carefully Parts that will need to be replaced to drive the car: front windshield (broken by the airbag) the 2 front airbags radiator and oil cooler front bumper and grill A/C and water pump belt splash shields under the engine headlights $2600 or best offer. I would like to move this quickly. |

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Honda invests $470 million for new transmission plant in Mexico
Fri, 03 May 2013Honda has announced that it has made an initial investment of $470 million to build a brand new transmission plant in Ceyala, Mexico. For those keeping track, this is the same city that will also house Honda's new automobile manufacturing facility, which will begin production of the Fit compact beginning in the spring of 2014.
This new transmission plant is expected to come online in the second half of 2015, with an annual production capacity of 350,000 units, though that number is expected to double in the years following the plant's opening. With a 700,000-unit production capacity, Honda says a full 1,500 new associates will be hired at the Mexican plant.
Honda will specifically use this new transmission plant for the production of CVTs for automobiles built in Mexico, as well as for cars produced in facilities around the world. It stands to reason, then, that since the next-generation Honda Fit will be built right around the corner from these new CVTs, the small hatchback - which is expected to grow into a full family of vehicles - could be fitted with continuously variable units in the future.
