To my knowledge, no battery pack has failed that wasn't in a major accident or similar incident.

The engineers at the Ford Escape extreme testing labs ran them continuously in environments and conditions far beyond what any real person would put them through for years and still haven't had a battery pack fail on them.
Honda's IMA hybrid components are for 8 years/80,000 in my state. Just would be nice to see how many people have had them replaced as for most hybrid's on the road it is too early to know how long the battery will really last.

Along with that, anyone how has had a replacement, please share any info regarding the situation behind the battery replacement.
