I’ve just had to replace my 2003 Civic Hybrid IMA battery at 128,000 miles. Cost was about $3,000 including parts and labor. Anyone else have any experience with these? - Steve

I can not address your specific situation, but I bought a 2006 Civic Hybrid new at the end of July 2006. Now, 23 months later, I find that the rate of discharge (and recharge) of the IMA battery seems to have increased. I don’t know if it is a temperature-dependent phenomenon or if the discharge-r…

You did well with that many miles before the battery went. Some do better.

I’ve never been able to determine how accurate the charge monitor is in my car, but my impression is that it isn’t particularly accurate. So I’m not sure that there is a significant difference between a one and two block fluctuation. In my case, I didn’t notice any change in IMA performance for year…

Richter, unlike the Prius, the Civic hybrid only uses the electric motor to assist the gas engine when more power is demanded. Is it possible your light foot has gotten heavier over the years? On a 100-mile trip, your electricity usage should vary based on the type of driving. If the trip is most…

I also have a 2003 Civic Hybrid. At about 70,000, the IMA battery struggled to stay above 1/2 charged. My gas milage dropped,especially around town to about 26 - 28 mpg. I brought the car to 2 different dealers, and one said the condition is normal for a battery this age. I asked if I came in wi…

I have had a 2003 Civic Hybrid for 121,000 miles so far. The IMA battery works as well as it did when new, only going below half a few times a month. I live in southeastern PA, and currently get 52+mpg during warmer months, +/-42 in the winter. I have always driven this car very gently, as gas milea…

I’m just now facing this problem… my car has reached 140,000 miles and the IMA light has come on. Honda is telling me that I need to replace that battery but that it will cost 3500. That is a little more than half the trade in value of my car. I am trying to find out if there is anyway to get the…

Geez at 128k that seems reasonable. I was thinking of getting a Honda Hybrid and they say after 80 or 90k the battery goes. Overall, I wonder if the 2009 is better by then, but again, it lasted until 128k and considering I just spent $1000 on getting that darn Air bag light fixed !!! $3k for the b…

Just an update. It is now at 134,000 miles, the IMA battery is still working as it did when new. I did have to change my 12 volt battery this month though, it was six years old. As for the transmission issue, it is repaired for $189! One Honda dealer previously quoted me $3500! Just picked it up fro…
