I CAN'T SEE CLEAR IMAGE ANY OBJECT BEHIND ME BECAUSE THE REAR WINDSHIELD ARE WAVINESS OR CURVING AROUND, STEAMY SEEMS LIKE YOU DRIVING IN A REAL HOT DESERT AREA. I AM WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IS HYBRID CAR EASY CATCH ON FIRE AND REAR WINDSHIELD ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE HUGE PACK OF BATTERY! THE SERVICE MANAGER OF HONDA CHECKED & SAID EVERY ACCORD HYBRID IS LIKE THAT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT NOT ON REGULAR GAS ACCORD. HONDA CAN'T CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE THE DESIGN OF THE HYBRID. *TR

MY HONDAY ACCORD HYBRID DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE. IT JUST COMES WITH A SEALING KIT TO TEMPORARILY REPAIR THE FLAT TIRE. ON MAY 30TH I WAS DRIVING LOCALLY AND GOT A FLAT TIRE. I TRIED THE SEALING KIT ACCORDING TO ITS INSTRUCTION, IT DID NOT DO ANYTHING AND I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AWAY. THE FACT THAT THE REPAIR KIT DID NOT WORK AT THE TIME OF NEED IS ONE ISSUE.

15V602000 · Hybrid Propulsion System
Reported: 2015-09-25 (September 25, 2015)
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Honda Accord Hybrid vehicles manufactured August 29, 2013, to May 30, 2015. Electrical interference may cause the hybrid system to switch into fail-safe mode, disabling the gasoline engine, limiting the vehicle's speed to 40 miles per hour and functioning only on battery power. Once the battery is discharged, the vehicle will stall.
Consequence: A vehicle stall increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will update the hybrid system software, free of charge. The recall began on November 6, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is JT7.
