“I was going about 70 MPH in full electric mode and the car removed all power from my gas pedal, there was lots of dinging sounds and the dash said check hybrid system, turn your car off . Luckily I was already to the far right so I could just pull tot he shoulder and stop the car, the breaks and steering were still working. Towed to the dealership, hoping the march 2018 recall is the fix. I had to call aaa, all blue link capabilities stopped working as well. 2016 plugin with about 25,000 miles.”
