“14 march 2018 10:30 am, 70 MPH on us 101 to san francisco, hev mode, rainy weather, 4 passengers for a business meeting. Car steering shuddered as if the tires slipped and spun on the wet pavement. Esc, brake, and auto hold lights turned yellow. Was able to drive the car normally to reach destination, parked, attended meeting, and started driving back home with my passengers at 3pm. Esc, brake, and auto hold lights were still on. Hev mode. 30 minutes later, I-280 at 65+ MPH, engine power drastically reduced abruptly, car started to slow down and became unresponsive to the gas. …”
