Thanks Robegul . . I think I had read about a Civic Hybrid firmware update being available in another post somewhere online, but the person said that it didn't really get rid of the problem. Is your experience similar? Sounds like a bandaid to a more serious problem. Firmware updates will likely change certain aspects of the drivetrain to reduce the chances of the problem occuring, but not repair the problem. Nonetheless, I would want it applied to see what happens. The car may already have the newest firmware since it was purchased only a few months ago, but I have no idea. The issue rarely happens with our Civic so maybe it does?
