Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electric motor assist (ima) in my vehicle suddenly and unpredictably loses power on a frequent basis. This causes a significant loss of power through a process called recalibrating in which the batteries become fully discharged, and then recharge again very slowly over a long period of time. As the ima is a significant source of power for the vehicle, the sudden loss has almost caused an accident on at least three separate occasions. …”
