Honda Civic Hybrid 2008 W Exceptional Gas Mileage! on 2040-cars
Glendale, California, United States
This 2008 civic hybrid is in great
shape and drives perfectly. It has a clean california title. It was a
well maintained 1 owner vehicle with lots of highway miles when we
bought, and we sought it out because my fiance needed a reliable vehicle
for her sales job with high MPG. Its been great for us, but
unfortunately she needs a slightly larger vehicle for work. We just had
it serviced with new brakes front and back (including reconditioning
and replacement of rotors), serpentine belt(s?), engine and cabin air
filter, and an oil change. As
mentioned in the condition section, it does has a few small scraps and
dings that you might expect from a vehicle with higher mileage. also
has one longer scrape along the passenger side which is hard to notice
(almost impossible to see in the pictures), but does cause the passenger
door to catch a bit when opening it, and the side mirror mount was
knocked loose. we reattached the mirror, which was not cracked or
chipped at all, and it is pretty secure. The mirror controls still work
perfectly, and the mirror is perfect, but the whole piece no longer
bends in (like you might do for a tight parking spot). The
IMA/engine light comes on and off(IMA is honda's hybrid Integrated
Motor Assist), and sometimes the battery charge will go from full to
zero then slowly recharge, but wether the light is on or off we've still
gotten close to 45 mpg on highway trips. (see the pictures for shots of
the trip and MPG during a drive down to san diego when the light was
on, then turned off) (for
california residents: this car requires NO SMOG, and is registered
until dec 2014, with zero DMV fees owed. I don't know if other states
require emissions/smog from hybrid vehicles) This is a really terrific and reliable car, and has honda's unbeatable reputation and resale value. The
auction is pick up only, but i wouldn't hesitate to drive this car
across the country and can arrange delivery with a service like uship,
or possibly even deliver it myself for a fee. Feel free to ask any questions! |

Honda underreported 1,729 claims of injuries or deaths since 2003
Tue, Nov 25 2014Among these underreported cases were eight Takata airbag inflator ruptures not submitted. Following an independent audit of its safety reporting procedures, Honda has found massive holes in its methodology and practices that resulted in 1,729 claims of injuries or deaths going unreported to federal authorities dating back to July 2003. The cases should have been submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as part of its quarterly Early Warning Reports (EWRs) under the TREAD Act, but they fell through the cracks for a variety of reasons. Honda blames the underreporting on three factors: data entry errors, computer coding problems and "an overly narrow interpretation of what constituted a 'written notice' under the TREAD Act." The first two issues were related to the computer program that collected the claims. If employees didn't enter a date in the "written claim received" field, then they were omitted from the EWRs. Also, the company's internal component codes didn't always match those used by NHTSA, and only the ones that were the same were disclosed. Finally, third-party documents, including police reports, were not considered. Honda says the computer error is now corrected, and the company is updating its data entry training. In the future, written and oral claims will be included in EWRs, as well. Among these underreported cases were eight Takata airbag inflator ruptures not submitted in Honda's EWRs, including one death and seven injuries. However, the automaker claims NHTSA was already aware of all of these incidents either from the agency's own records or from the company's notification outside of the EWR process. Unfortunately, this problem could have been stopped much sooner. The issue was first brought to light in 2011 but didn't result in a followup. NHTSA advised the automaker of discrepancies in January 2012, and it still did nothing. This third-party audit wasn't commissioned until September 2014. "Honda acknowledges that it lacked the urgency needed to correct its problems on a timely basis," it says in the announcement. Separately, the Japanese government is starting an investigation, as well. According to Reuters, the Japanese Transport Minister has created a task force to look into the Takata recalls and find out whether Honda under-reported incidents there. Scroll down to read the company's entire statement on the third-party investigation.
NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
