HONDA REPLACED THEIR SATELLITE RADIO SYSTEM IN THE NEW ACCORD PLUG-IN HYBRID WITH HONDALINK AHA RADIO. BEGINNING THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR, HONDALINK AHA RADIO HAS BEEN UNRELIABLE AND SO DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER THAT I CONSIDER IT A DANGER.

NORMALLY, ACCELERATING THE CAR REQUIRES USING BOTH THE GAS ENGINE AND BATTERY (HV MODE) TO MOVE THE VEHICLE AT THIS SPEED. BUT EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR'S GAS ENGINE SUDDENLY AND RANDOMLY REVS CONSISTENTLY VERY HIGH AND ALSO NOTABLY VERY LOUD. ON 11/27/13, WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE 5 FWY, AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OF THE UNUSUALLY HIGH REV NOISE AGAIN, THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND MOVEMENT FROM THE GAS ENGINE.
