Electrical System
619 of the 1,560 complaints (39%) mention the electrical system. Electrical problems are made worse by desert heat, which ages batteries, cables and connectors. We test the battery, starter and charging system and trace faults to the actual part. See our battery replacement and starter & alternator repair pages.
Engine
295 of the 1,560 complaints (18%) mention the engine and cooling system. Engine and cooling complaints are best caught early in Phoenix, where heat pushes cooling systems and engine oil to their limits. We diagnose warning lights and check coolant, hoses and oil condition. See our check engine light diagnostics and oil change & maintenance pages.
Steering
213 of the 1,560 complaints (13%) mention steering. Steering complaints deserve prompt attention. We inspect steering components and alignment so the car tracks straight and responds predictably. See our suspension & alignment page.

Keeping a Honda Accord Plug IN Hybrid Reliable in Phoenix
Arizona heat is the hardest test a Honda will face. Batteries, belts, hoses, tires and engine oil all wear faster here, and a Accord Plug IN Hybrid that spends its life in stop-and-go Valley traffic needs maintenance earlier than the owner's manual's normal schedule suggests.
Our recommendation for Accord Plug IN Hybrid owners: follow the severe-service schedule, test the battery before every summer, inspect brakes and tires twice a year, and have any warning light diagnosed instead of ignored. If you are shopping for a used Honda Accord Plug IN Hybrid, a pre-purchase inspection shows what the paperwork does not.
