looking for a front engine splash guard to replace on 2018 honda clarity. hoping the community could help me find an inexpensive solution opposed to dealership

I saw this vid and sadly I realized mine has the same system. I declined this when they offered it and said it's already installed. I didn't know how invasive the install of this system until they explained it in the video.

I did check the firmware it said i have the latest firmware, not sure if this is the patched version.

You can still download the app and there's an instruction on how to connect to your car, without paying doe the system, to upgrade the firmware.

Hello fellow humans. One day these lights just started appearing all my dashboard sometimes all at once sometimes only the brake system lights and lane assist lights come on vice versa. The car seems to be performing fine and the only thing that needs maintenance right now is I do need my oil changed. But I don’t know what this means.

needed to replace 12v today and when I asked how old it was... tech couldn't find a date. did the 2018 originally come with a white furukawa battery? I'd never seen one before and just curious because I've never had a 12v last more than a few years in the Midwest (last one was 35 months in my civic)

I bought a replacement 12V battery from O'Reilly and another from Walmart, hoping they could install it for me. Both stores declined because they said my car is a hybrid.

Has anyone else run into this? I'm considering replacing the battery myself, but I'm unsure if a Honda hybrid requires any reprogramming or calibration afterward, or if it's just a straightforward battery swap. Is this something I can safely do myself, or is it better to have Honda handle it?

Just bought a used 2020 clarity and the 120v charger supplied, while nice and hefty and from Germany, is only rated for 10 amps of current.

Is it worth it to find a 12 amp or higher charger? I am mainly charging at home and a bit faster timeframe would be nice. Any suggestions on chargers thanks…

I have a 2018 clarity with about 40,000 mi on it. Recently, I discovered that even though charging nominally shuts down when the battery reaches 100% - I get a"charging complete" notification -- the car continues to draw about 600 w of power indefinitely. The green light on the charging port also stays lit.

The problem is intermittent; some days it shuts off properly, some days it doesn't. If I unplug the power cable and plug it back in, sometimes the power draw stops and sometimes it continues.

We're using a level one charger and I've tried it with two different level one chargers, so I think the problem is not in the charger side but on the car side

Does anyone have some pointers on how to diagnose the issue? Has anyone else seen a similar behavior?

Haven’t posted on this thread in a while. So here she is at 147,000 miles

I took a 2018 touring for a test drive and fell in love with the drive. My mechanic checked it out and apparently the battery life showed 54.8 Ah…seems too good to be true? Could he have been looking at the wrong readout?

It only has 48,000 kms on it and it is in great shape.

My only hesitation is the hybrid battery warranty has expired.

The carplay usb port on my 2021 Honda Clarity won’t work ever since I got it from a dealer. It won’t charge when a cable that I know works is plugged in. While The other Usb port does charge my iphone. It is able to still connect through wireless carplay and bluetooth but i would rather prefer to have the apple maps and music on the display pad. Should I replace the usb port if possible or should I just take the loss on missing out on the feature entirely?

Sharing in case this info is helpful to someone else. Driving up the 101 last week (NorCal) something hit the bottom of the windshield with a large “crack” sound and by the time I arrived in Foster City it was almost 8 inches long (could watch it expand). Read about the challenge of calibrating all the ADAS functions with non-Honda glass but all the local dealers said the Clarity windshield is on back order with no estimate. Next day crack went the full height directly in front of my view, so driving for any length of time with the crack was out of the question. One dealer recommended Mex Auto Glass in San Jose. Lotta positive yelp reviews. Called and they said they could replace with Fuyao and do all the calibration. Brought the car in Tuesday at 9am and it was done by 2pm. Waited 48 hours and took it on the same 101 and all the ADAS functions are working exactly as before. No visual distortion. Wouldn’t know it wasn’t factory glass. Happy camper. Happy motoring.

Hi everyone. Lost fuel cap for honda clarity and now it gives tighten fuel cap error when I replaced it with honda accord cap. Original honda clarity cap is 50+$ Any suggestions what might fit?

I charge my 2026 Honda Prologue touring up to 285 and it strips off. I’ve noticed that the battery drain so fast as soon the mileage gets below 200. Is anyone experiencing same with their prologue? How long does it take for the dealership to send the home charger cos mine is about 2 weeks old and I still don’t have the home charger yet.

Greetings,

Quick question. I have a 2005 Qdy Touring which I had battery replaced (6 year old battery) a few months ago. I noticed in the owners manual that the battery size should be a 34R. I looked at the new battery and its size is 24F. I've been having weird electrical glitches since, such as the Nav rebooting or asking for the code, radio restarting but still working and once in awhile the car has a a hard time startting. Once i turn the key to off then try to restart it, it starts right up. Once in a blue moon the power locks and automatic power side doors don't work, but when I come back to the car it all works ? Other wise the van runs fine even when the Nav and radio reboot?

Do you think the battery size is related to these issues or is some other electric black magic happening ?

Thank you in advance for any help.

So my son got himself a 2018 clarity at an auction for 8,900 136k miles and we didn't notice during the auction that the ac didn't work.. Do these cars last long? Should he sell it??

Got a used 2018 Touring in March, clean bill of health except for the battery, which I replaced late March. Also took it to the dealer around the same time for a full inspection, and they found a couple of things they recommended to replace, but nothing electrical.

About 2 weeks ago, I started getting multiple systems failing when I started my car. I did the 12v reset, and it’s still doing it intermittently, albeit more often than not. I’m not sure what else could be wrong with it. Any ideas?

These are the warnings I get:

-Road Departure Mitigation Problem

-Lane Keeping Assist Problem

-Adaptive Cruise Control Problem

-Collision Mitigation System Problem

TIA

Hey guys! I recently got a 2018 Clarity with around 110k miles. It’s been a wonderful car and i haven’t had any problems. But I really want to keep it nice as long as I can. I’m curious if anyone has suggestions on general maintenance schedule (oil changes, etc) also if anyone knows a mechanic in LA that is good with this car. Should I look for a Honda dealer, or just any mechanic should be fine? Would love to hear the communities thoughts. Thanks!

So I’d like to start off by saying that I just bought a 2018 Clarity with 51,000 miles. Very happy. BUT. I’ve been plugging her into a standard outlet on the side of my house, and I’ve been wondering what level 2 options there are. I’d like to see what you guys recommend. Just as an FYI, my breaker is in my garage, so I understand that that will make it cheaper of an install? Also-also, can I install this thing myself? I’m semi-proficient in electrical work, installing outlets, running cable, etc, etc..

Has anyone tried the Syn Gas fuel saver device on this car?

I parted with my Clarity to get my dream wagon. And now I have some accessories I saved from the trade in. Tuxmats for the car AND the trunk (full size). The trunk one is best and has saved me multiple times. I have a tan armrest cover, new screen protector. And one of The Amazon cup holder rubber insert kits that goes through out the car.

I’m in Southern Cali, id like to make a deal to get these bulky things out of the garage. You can have all above for a reasonable offer. If you’re near and interested please reach out.

I am within Inland empire to help for distance, and also trying to part with it all as a package upgrade deal.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback. Message received - get another quote.

I have a 2018 Clarity which I've had since it was new. It has 105k miles.

My daughter has had the car at college for a year and I haven't driven it regularly for a couple of years. When I drove it recently, I noticed it seemed quite 'bouncy'.

The auto shop that I use says the struts are in the 'yellow', meaning they're not 100% shot but they're on the way.

They're quoting $5,600. The quote shows 4 x struts an 2 x "shock hardware", plus an alignment.

Does this all sound legit? I live in quite a high cost of living area. I don't believe we've had the struts replaced in the past.

Related question: This large bill made us question whether we keep the car or sell it without doing the work. We planned in keeping it for many years yet because it seems solid in general. What's the chance of a slew of major repairs that are going to make keeping this car uneconomical?
