Hi. folks. new guy here in post and with 2000 insight that I've had for 24 hrs. Has 104,000 + miles, bought from used car lot. First thing on test drive, car bogs and surges, battery indicator dove to 5 bars. Didn't know what to think of that. Thought I was just rusty from not driving manual trans for 10+ years. Drove home 70 miles, 90 degree day, a/c on, headlights later: no problems, all normal. Today, didn't get out of work parking lot before battery charge indicator nose dives to 4 or 5 bars. Then IMA and check engine lights come on. No assist, no charge indication but battery state indicator is now back to peak. Interior of car was really hot. I thought these cars were tested by Honda to deal with extrems of climate, so I'm thinking maybe the cooling fans aren't working. Can't tell from the inside vents. What sort of surprises are under the battery cover (or attached to it)?
So, what I'm seeing here is likely a battery module failure, right? With no warranty to cover, that means I'm out a surprise $1,500 or so?
Just about the time I'm starting to like the little bugger, this happens.
