I just hit 1000 miles on my HCH II and the car has performed flawlessly.

Just wondering what kind of problems, if any, you have had, and at what mileage on your vehicle?

 

Personally, I've had none so far (right around 5k miles now). Folks who took earlier delivery would see the infamous 63mi bug, where the trip odometers would reset the mpg calculation every 63 miles. That's been fixed for a little while now, and if you just got yours, you've got the fix already. Some folks have reported the driver's window either acting possessed, or jumping out of the track. This seems to be pretty rare, but it's out there. Finally, the FCD display for everybody tends to report that you're getting about 1.4mpg worse than what's really happening. No success yet in tracking that problem down.

 

I have about almost 4k on the car and have numerous rattles throughout the car. I have heard from other non-hybrid Civic owners and this is a common problem. Not too sure if it is the build quality.

 

My friend's HCH2 had a faulty AC compressor that they replaced.
Mine is fine, now that the 62-mile bug is fixed, but there is a little squeak when I push the driver's button to lock all the doors.
The squeak is coming from one of the two locks on the passenger side.
I can't tell which.
It is intermitent.
I'll mention it when I bring it in.

My 2004 HCH also had the exact same problem.
They fixed it, and I never heard it again.

 

4500 miles. No problems yet. The air conditioning function is slightly unusual and the compressors ability to consistently produce cold air has consistent and predictable variation based on accelration and IMA vs ICE use.

I dont qualify this as a true problem or something broken however.

 

Three days, 400 miles, 42.6 MPG, and perfect so far

 

8 months - 15k miles - no problems.

 

Nuh!

6,250 miles and not so much as a rattle.

My FE is getting better and better - some I attribute to my understanding of how to drive a hybrid, and some from the engine getting "looser".

No complaints whatsoever.

 

Nothing has broken on mine. I have only put gas in it.

I have about 9K miles on it and should be getting an oil change soon though.

 

I'm hoping UK HCHs are built in the UK at Swindon and they only import the drive train. I've heard some disturbing stories that suggest US car owners tolerate more than we do. Whoever builds it is going to have to build it to UK standards and that means if it starts rattling within the first three years I'll expect it to be fixed under warranty.

So far Civics have an excellent track record (usually at the top of the JD Power Survey) so presumably Honda won't want that record sullied especially as we are paying a premium for the vehicle.
