Let us know if the dealership gets back to you with any useful information. I have also scoured the web for info on this issue and I can't find anything pertaining to the second generation Civic Hybrid. No service bulletins at least. If you look further up in the post you'll see an excerpt regarding CVT transmissions that I found (and a direct reference to our CVT transmission) which points to the start clutch being the potential cause of our troubles. In the first generation Civic hybrids they had issues with the EGR valve and the CVT belt (for which they would flush the fluid and burnish the belt) . . sounds to me like a band-aid on a more severe problem. I think I've been lucky that the problem, at least so far, has been mild with my Civic. If it gets worse I may just trade the car in next year towards a new hybrid so I can avoid all the dealership service department BS.
