Hi Viet:
 
___I am not implying or making you feel anything of the sort … In the same breath, flooring it to run from the cops stuff sure wasn’t appreciated? I congratulate you on your purchase of the AH as that is what you wanted but there were costs involved. My wife wanted an MDX back in 02/03 and that is what she received even though we test drove the Toyota Camry XLE V6, Toyota Highlander, Lexus ES, and Lexus RX300 (at the time). She didn’t want to wait for the upcoming all-new Sienna (at the time) and the Odyssey’s were so blistering hot that we walked out of more then one Honda dealership without so much as even looking at one. I wanted her in a loaded up I4 based Camry XLE myself but that is the way the ball bounces.
 
___There are a few items I noticed between the Accord I4 and the AH which you should find pleasing. The Accord I4’s have prop rods vs. the V6’s and Hybrid’s gas struts for the hood. The V6 including the AH have a slightly nicer interior trunk lid covering then the I4’s as well. I am sure there will be more other lux appointments included with the AH uncovered in the near future.
 
___Good Luck
 
___Wayne R. Gerdes

Hi Xcel,
 
I sincerely would like to apologize to you as I did not read your previous message thoroughly and made an unintentionally wrong assumption/ statement about your wife's driving habit.
 
Also, I appreciate your feedback concerning the HAH I bought. I did perform some extensive researches on the HAH, the regular Accords and some other cars and finally decided to "play the HAH game". I do know the 2005 V6 has most amenities of the HAH.
 
Thanks.

check engine light trouble by georgepburdell

We paid for a hybrid Accord (MSRP). But before we could drive it off the lot, the Check Engine light came on, and they didn't know what to do to turn it off. So we went home without the car, expecting them to figure out the problem so that we could get our new car "tomorrow."
 
"Tomorrow" stretched into almost 2 weeks. Apparently, because the car is so new, it took a long time to find someone who knew how to fix it. Finally, they replaced a computer and now it appears to be fine. (We are waiting to talk to the service guy to get details of what caused the problem.)
 
The dealer has told us that if we don't want this car, we can start over and wait for another hybrid. Or we can take this one now, and they will give us an extended warranty for free.
 
Anyone heard of a Check Engine light causing trouble with a new car?

I don't know what the cause would be of this light but we purchases a HAH on Monday and today when we went in to have accesories put on, I was told that it needed a computer update. Since this update I haven't noticed any changes but my battery charge is lower when I initially start the engine. Honda is supposed to contact me on Monday with information about the update because the service tech was not fully informed about the reasoning behind it. At that time I will post more...for all you other HAH owners, you may want to contact Honda and inquire about this computer update...

Register your car with Honda Inc. ASAP by accessing the link below by entering your HAH's VIN. Request your dealership resolve your HAH issues or contact Honda Inc. directly.

My HAH is flawless. Its graphite color is gorgeous and shiny. I expect it should be a "rocket" after the break-in as Honda claims it.

After registering with Honda Inc. your HAH's status (e.g. recall, maintenance schedules, issues, etc.) may be inquired and identified by using the Owner Link in Honda website.

Your HAH's battery will be charged to full or most full capacity as you drive and brake.

Anything can happen to a new car. I think it's generous for your dealer to offer you a free extended warranty, and if I were you I'd take them up on it.

No Spare Tire by merlin180

Hi All,
 
I just watched a program about run-flat tires. I now wonder if the HAH's lack of a spare tire is because it has run-flats or just that Honda includes a quick repair kit for regular tires
 
Comments anyone ?

My HAH has IMS (Instant Mobility System). That is the tool which includes an electric pump to mend and inflate the flat tire. This tool is in the trunk. Only the top Touring Ody uses run flat technology. It means the Ody can run on a flat tire up to 60+ miles/ hour until the driver finds the...Great Almighty Tire Savor.
