IMA Experience Unfolding
My 07HCH has been reliable and good to drive (59K, CVT, NAV). Over the weekend, I hit a speedbump.
How many parts are there to this IMA system? Thanks.. |
Re: IMA Experience Unfolding
My recent experience was with the CVT, but if you replaced "IMA Motor Drive" with "Transmission Plate" and "Control Module" with "New CVT" in your post, my story reads very similarly. Kinda makes you wonder how much they (Honda Techline) really know about these cars--I guess there is a lot going on with them though...

Last Chapter: IMA Experience Unfolding
Picked up the HCHII over the weekend. After 5 days in the shop, here's the tally:
(1) 12V battery changed - $130 (1) IMA 'motor drive' - warranty (1) IMA 'control module' - warranty Total damage - $130 Warranty to be paid by American Honda - $3940 Total work for the week - $4070 And the result? The car seems to be driving okay. I am a little suspicious so I keep my eye on the guages. So far so good, but I do notice that there are different charge rates happening (I have different levels of charges on the same roads compared to what I originally had). Is this good or bad? I don't know. Monitoring MPGs, too. Most important thing is that I need reliable transportation. When I asked the dealer if I should worry about the battery pack longevity being affected, he said 'well you have plenty of warranty left.' Which was true--in CA I think I have 10 years/ 150K. On a positive note, the result seems good (so far). The dealer (Diamond Honda) wasn't as bad as reviews lead me to beleive. In fact, Tony was actually professional, straightforward, and personable.
