2003 civic hybrid rumbles?
I recently purchased a used 2003 honda civic hybrid. Everytime I accelerate from a complete stop, the car rumbles then goes. If the car is cruising and i give it gas it accelerates fine. This only happens if I come to a complete stop and then accelerate. It feels as though as the wheels spin too fast and can't grip the road. But it rumbles even when I go like 1 mph. I understand that these cars have integrated motor assist but could that be maybe trying to rotate the wheels too soon? Can I disable IMA? Plus I've noticed that the rpm almost always stays around 3k no matter how fast I'm going. Also it seems the longer I drive the car the less rumble/violent shaking the car has. If I start it for the first time it is the worse.
Let me guess - you did not have a mechanic do a complete inspection B4 purchase, right? BIG mistake, as you have found out… Now you will have to take the vehicle to several shops for their diagnoses + prices

Automatic transmission is failing. That was a very bad year for Honda transmissions. The remedy is replacement.
- My 2003 Honda hybrid makes a noise in the back when I turn it on? I have a Honda hybrid in really good conditions just bought it two weeks ago and every time I turn it on it makes a noise in the back where the battery is. I live in Minnesota and it's really cold and snowing here so I think that might be the problem.

- Transmission? 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid? My car does not move while on Drive gear. Ok so the mechanic checked my car yesterday and he said it was the transmission. How can I know if it really is the transmission or he's just telling me that to rip me off? He had the car on the jack yesterday and I could see the wheels spinning. Do the wheels still spin if the axle is broken? What can be the failure on my car?
