While driving the car the car experienced a loss of power similar to a stall - several messages popped up on the cluster such as "power system problem". the car was pulled over immediately and turned off - waited a few mins to restart and check engine light was still on - it appears Honda usa issued a recall for what seems like the exact problem for 2014-2015 regular Honda Accord hybrid's under tsb15-057 but did not include the plug-in hybrid models - local Honda dealership is diagnosing the issue and Honda usa has been made aware of the defect although they stated the car is not included in recall even though its experiencing the same safety issues as the regular hybrid model

problem #1

Accord Plug-in Hybrid 4-cyl

  • 2,000 miles
Vehicle suddenly lost power on the highway, unable to exceed approximately 30-40mph on electric only mode. Hybrid mode or regenerative hybrid modes were unable to successfully engage to power the vehicle. Electric only power supply was soon depleted & the vehicle was unable to start the gasoline engine and re-enter normal hybrid powered mode. Vehicle completely lost power and required a tow. As of 01/09/2014 the vehicle is still at an authorized Honda dealer service department awaiting repair with no current known diagnosis provided to me. The authorized Honda dealer service department is in contact with Honda corporate technical attempting to troubleshoot and identify the cause of the loss of power and locomotion.
