2003 Hybrid Cat Converter and o2 sensor issues
Created June 2, 2009, at 1:22 pm by fareeha250
I have a 2003 Civic Hybrid with approximately 150k miles. CEL was on and car was jerking when first accelerating (CVT) so i took it to the dealer. They wrote me up for about $3k. They said that both cat converters need to be replaced and the primary o2 sensor as well.
my car neeeds a new hybrid batt which they are replacing for free because its just under warranty.
anyone have these issues before? anyone know cheaper alternatives?
thanks!

I HAVE REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND RECENTLY MY MAIN BATTERY. THY WANTED $3000.00 TO REPLACE NOT COVERED I HAVE 92,000 MILES. I HAD IT REPLACED. AND THE NEW BATTERY HAS A WARRANTY 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MI. THAT IS A REAL BAD THING. I LIVE IN NEVADA AND BATTERIES DO NOT LAST. NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THAT. HONDA IS NO T GOOD TO US.
My 2004 HCH only had an 80,000 mile warranty on the hybrid batteries. How is it that your's were replaced under warranty at 150,000 miles? Sorry, I don't know of other soultions to cat converter or O2 sensors except changing them yourself or at a local muffler shop.
CVT was recalled. That replacement should be of no cost to you. The belt stretches over time and it begins to slip. There was a class action suit on that item and Honda was forced to recall.
