06 civic Hybrid 133k miles. Stopped at gas station to get gas turned engine off to pump. All gassed up turn engine on and the IMA, CEL and Brake System Failure lights all come on. Couldn't take car out of park (safety mechanism i assume) and engine rumbles and stalls. Wait 20 mins, started car again - this time only CEL is on - no rumble no stall - I drive car to dealer. They pulled 4 codes all having to do PCM and IMA. They do a PCM update and call to say car is fine and ready to pick up. I come to pick up, and CEL is on again - they pull 2 new codes having to do with the "motor assist module" and the "battery? assist module". Leave the car again, now saying car needs a needs a new computer ~$900. I cant find anyone with a similar problem online. Could there be an alternative issue like loose wire or connection?

that is the first i ever heard of this happening too... I would try giving Honda a call and see if they have any reports on the issue.

Update: Turns out the info I got from the dealer, in regards of my having to pay for the repair, was wrong. The ECU (Main computer) is covered to 10 yrs/ 150K miles (at least here in CA). Doesn't seem like too many others are having the issue, but hope this helps someone.
