    Clarity Wheel Noise (scraping)

    About a month ago my clarity phev started making a noise. It sounds similar to this clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/pWkTm7eE6p4?si=LbgCzeptyVJQCgog It first started when I was going down the road at about 40miles per hour, but would go away if i applied the breaks for a couple seconds, than...

    4 cycle valve adjustment

    2018 Honda clarity touring. Just had that fuel valve recall fixed. Dealership came back with our needing a four cycle valve adjustment back to factory specs. Is this a real thing? How do they know it needs adjusting? This would happen along with our getting new tires, mounted and balanced.

    Considering Clarity, 200 mile commute

    I commute 1-4 days a week 100 miles each way. I am considering used Clarities. Plan to charge nightly at home on 120v, not sure if I will be able to at work. Does this seem like too much of a stretch? 8 miles of the commute is city, the remaining 90+ are highway. I'm in Florida, so it's...

    Public Chargepoint Issue

    Here is the issue: I have a Chargepoint charger at my work which I have successfully used in the past. In the past two weeks my Clarity has stopped charging at this charger; two colleagues who both drive a Nissan Leaf have been able to charge without issue. To forestall the questions which...

    Clarity PHEV vs Rav4 Prime observations

    My wife recently received her '22 Rav4 Prime SE and I've had a couple of opportunities to drive it after about 4 years driving my 2018 base Clarity PHEV. Just a few quick observations on differences - mostly the driving and convenience features ... (I'm a noob to the R4P so some of these may be...

    Proposed Senate legislation

    Hi fellow Clarity fans, I've been on the lookout for a used Clarity Touring for the last month (prices are still out of control so I haven't found one yet). But after this week's news, I'm wondering whether to hold off...

    Longer Term Reliability?

    Hey all, been lurking on the forum for a few days, soaking up information since I'm thinking about buying a used Clarity when I get enough cash scrounged up. Found a lot of good stuff like how to keep the 12v battery from dying, not to let the traction battery drain completely before switching...

    Finally got my EcoHitch - what do I need to know before buying a bike rack?

    I finally got off my rump and purchased the EcoHitch for my 2018 Clarity and had it installed earlier this week. Now my wife and I want to find a bike rack that can hold two bikes and be mounted to this new hitch, so we can take our bikes to some park or another. Assume I'm an idiot (not a...

    A Pillar Rattle on 2018 Clarity

    I love our Clarity. One very minor problem is a persistent plastic-on-plastic rattle at the bottom of both A pillars on the inside of the car. You can see my kludge attempt to eliminate this. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a better way to "fix" it?

    Honda Clarity PHEV Issues w/ Subwoofer

    Probably a long shot finding a solution here, but I had a subwoofer professionally installed locally and whenever I switch from EV to gas playing music, I can occasionally hear a loud "wir" noise, like electrical interference or something. Only seems to happen occasionally, sometimes triggered...

    Ive been cleaning the black vinyl seats of my clarity occasionally (just some dirt, etc) with soap and water and every time I do so, the seats dry with an almost "ashy" appearance. Whats the best product to fix/restore this? Never had this problem in other cars. Seems the honda black vinyl...

    Clarity easy to break into? I’ve had 3 break-ins

    I don’t know if I’m having bad luck or what but I’ve had my clarity broken into three times in the last year. It’s happening in the Angeles national forest so it’s a bit out there but close enough to civilization to have issues. But I’ve been going to the Angeles for many years before I got my...

    PHEVs - competitors to the Honda Clarity?

    Hi guys, it's been a few years since I owned a hybrid so I thought I would catch up with the EV/hybrid/PHEV world. I've been reading about and watching videos on the Honda Clarity. I love the concept of the Clarity - an EV with range extender, which could work for me. I think the Clarity is...

    Certified pre-owned 2018 Clarity?

    I'm looking to get my hands on a Clarity over on the east coast, but between the pandemic and their lack of popularity out here, it's proving to be a considerable challenge. Has anyone here bought a certified pre-owned Clarity recently? There are a couple available near me that look like they...
