Warranty on 2nd replacement IMA battery?
Hi. New but been lurking. About gride chargers and such.
99992 miles '09 Recently, got a new passenger motor mount when I experienced car vibrations esp. At low speeds and reverse. Seems like most people have as well. If you have that then that's it. Ok. I had the IMA battery placed in 2013 with 56,000 miles. Is there a year/warranty on the 2nd replacement battery? |
Re: Warranty on 2nd replacement IMA battery?
Nope, but Honda extended your original warranty to 10yr/150K miles because the 09-11 IMA packs have been pure garbage (30% replacement rate on 2009-2010 modules as of Consumer Reports 2013 survey).
https://www.greenhybrid.com/forums/f...tension-30519/ Personally, I recommend you sell the car while this benefit is still intact. |

You are the man! You think it'll crap out soon as it reaching 50k on the 2nd batt? I dont get as much batt. assist as I think it should. But I changed out the spark plugs recently and made a world difference from 36mpg to 46mpg for crusing highway. |

I can't say when it will fail. Are you getting recalibrations? You're 3 years in with 44k mi on the pack.

Not sure if it's feasible to keep this car or sell it at a happy price. Just seeing how much longer I can go without spending any more coin. |

Things that come to mind...
Plugs $120 Mounts $500 EGR plate cleaning $0 Struts $? Upper Cat $550 Upper O2 Sensor $200 Rear O2 sensor $50 Prices assume you do the work. MUCH more for Mother Honda. Where are you? Update your location in your profile. |

Update your location in your profile. Plugs not long ago, I did myself. Super Easy-ish except back plugs but with right tools. Engine mount done at my indy for $80 labor + $110 OEM (ebay, got lucky) Living in an apt. has its garage work drawbacks. Yikes, why is Upper 02 sensor so much? When do they usually go out? Any kind of rough data when cats go out too on the HCH2? |
Re: Warranty on 2nd replacement IMA battery?
I had a 2nd HCH2 w/220K miles. It needed everything listed but struts. I don't know when they needed them, but they needed them when I got it.
For O2 sensors, I don't just buy anything. I bought the Denso P/N equivalent to the Denso OEM unit. Honda was close to $350 IIRC. |
