“While I was driver on the street. A warning check hev system light came on. Then the car electrical system just shutdown and I lost all power. The car went from working perfect to completely out of power in 30 second.”
NHTSA complaint #11195666, filed 2019-04, 50,000 miles“Vehicle was in motion on a road with posted speed of 50 MPH. I had to brake suddenly, and the car stalled in the fast lane. I immediately put flashers on because of traffic coming behind me. It took about two minutes to restart the car because of the push button start and the power seats having to position themselves. Very scary situation and very unexpected. I've also had problems when slowing down, and the car hesitates in the turn. I've almost been hit twice because of this.”
