problem #3

Clarity Plug-In Hybrid

  • 470 miles
Although car less than one week old and under 470 miles, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel while vehicle was stationary after starting the car: Engine system problem, brake system problem, adaptive cruise control problem, road departure mitigation system problem. Turning car off and restarting engine did not clear the problem, and lights remained on while driving. Vehicle was taken to dealership where it was purchased (Honda of pasadena).

problem #2

Clarity Plug-In Hybrid

  • 1,000 miles
With driving with a fully charged battery driving in econ (ev) mode, the internal combustion (ice) came online when stopped at a stop sign. After accelerating, the ice stopped running after a couple of minutes and the car resumed running in ev mode. This repeated several times, and not always when the car was stopped. This behavior has happened several times, but not always.

Clarity Plug-In Hybrid

  • 1,470 miles
I filled the seven gallon gas tank yesterday, and the dashboard range display calculated the range of the car on gas power as 871 miles. I have been driven mostly on electric battery power, but with only seven gallons of gas in the tank, that range is absurd. New drivers of the vehicles might believe the range and inadvertently strand themselves somewhere.
