#1697 of 1765 2006 HCH not regen-braking! by lunchables Apr 16, 2007 (12:03 pm)
I just got my HCH used 5 days ago. When I sarted my last few trips I noticed that for the first mile of stops and go's the assist was happening durring accell, but durring decell the regen did not. After a mile or so it just seems to start regen-braking properly. Is this normal, or do i need to get this checked out? I am thinking the temperature might have something to do with this problem. It has been 35f lately.

As you will see, it is $185 plus shipping.   https://store.alpine-usa.com/Hondadvdsales/naviorder.php   What "Honda" did you "call" that gave you such incorrect price information? I'd guess that it was just the parts department guy at a local Honda store.   I'd recommend waiting another year or two to order a DVD. There are very few year-to-year changes of any significance to most people. Click on the Find out what's new... link on the right side of the page above to see what I mean.

Replying to: mcap56 (Apr 23, 2006 7:41 am) Accord Headrests work!! If you are a person who hates the Civic headrests, go right now to the Honda dealer and try out the Accord headrests. I did that over the weekend and for the first time my back and shoulders can touch the seat while the headrest is positioned just touching the back of my head.   The sales guy who got me the Accord headrest to try out, and the parts guy who took my order both said that they had had quite a few people coming in to order them. So Honda will know something about how bad the problem is by how many extra Accord headrests they are selling in the past couple of years!

Replying to: cbowen (Jul 08, 2007 9:02 pm) Take a look at this link and you will see why Honda made the Civic headrests as they did. It was to pass the new "head restraint dynamic test". The Accord gets a POOR rating while the 2007 Civic gets a good rating. Look for the next Accord to be the same as the Civic. Comfort is secondary to safety in our society. You can look up the Toyota cars and they are all poor to marginal in this test. Except the new Tundra gets a good rating.   http://www.iihs.org/ratings/head_restraints/headrestraints.aspx?honda
#1701 of 1765 fan seems to run after car is shut-off by gurquhart Jul 10, 2007 (3:09 pm)
We just bought an '05 Civic Hybrid. We noticed that after you shut the car off there seems to be a fan (or something that is humming/still running) for awhile. We were just wondering if this is normal or not. There are no warning light on, and the temp. seems to be fine. Any ideas? Replies to this message: stevedebi (Jul 10, 2007 3:43 pm)

They keep running for a time after the engine shuts off, to cool down the engine.

#1704 of 1765 2003 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID Timing belt? by emailwanted200 Aug 10, 2007 (11:39 am)
My dealership recently asked me 'have you had your timing belt replaced'? I said uh no, nobody has ever said anything. So they said yeah you should replace it at 100k. My car has 104k on it. So I called three other dealerships to get estimates. A second dealerships said yeah 100k replace the timing belt. A third dealership said 'you have no timing belt, just a chain-no replacement needed'. I was in shock and asked are you sure for an 03 honda civic hybrid with 104k on it? He said we are sure. I called a fourth dealership and they said 'yeah you have no timing belt, just a chain'. I am extremely confused. so I called Honda and they (like me) could not find anything in the stupid manual that said anything about a timing belt and/or its replacement. they found something about a 'drive' belt' and claimed that it was something different. so i told them what happened, and he comes on the line and says, yeah you got a timing belt and it should be replaced at 90,000 miles. So I'm like WTF, why isn't there anything in the book about this and why aren't your dealerships clear about this? He responded 'i don't know'.   anybody, please advise!

Replying to: emailwanted200 (Aug 10, 2007 11:39 am) That book in your glove compartment, your Owner's Manual, no doubt has a page containing a Maintenance Schedule chart. Look in the columns around the 90K to 104K mile area. The Honda FACTORY-recommended service items are no doubt clearly identified. Replies to this message: bbb99 (Aug 10, 2007 1:53 pm)

Replying to: blane (Aug 10, 2007 1:17 pm) Is there an online version of the manual? I lost my owner's manual. Also, all 03-05 owners be sure to take your car in for the recall on the cc. This is a new recall.
